Poetry.
FOR THE PORTLAND GAZETTE
THE MANIAC LAUGH.
AS late, by contemplation led, I rovd where sleeps the mighty dead; And near the gallant Preble's tomb I stood, and wept his early doom, A sudden sound assail'd my ear, I wip'd away the gushing tear, When lo! a Maniac, wand'ring, came; Once warm'd by genius' sacred flame, One who, at midnight, erst would pore, On books replete with classic lore, And fir'd with emulation's rage, Rifed the sweets of learning's page. He smil'd, and look'd with vacant stare, Anon, his laughter rent the air; So strange his look, so wild his mien, It added horror to the scene.— My God! said I, is this the youth Of morals, once as pure as truth? Of judgment strong, and fancy bright His parents' and his friend's delight? To thought sublime, and fancy dead, Has reason, and has mem'ry fled? Has genius thus his power resign'd To madness, demon of the mind? To find relief, I turn'd away, And caught the gleam of parting day. But still the maniac laugh, I hear In dreams, it oft assails my ear: Anon, I see him near the steep, Of cliff projecting o'er the deep, A grief-worn, pale, and faded form, Mingling his sorrows with the storm. Nov. 9th, 1807. HENRY.
Late Omissions.
Democracy Shifting its Ground. It is somewhat remarkable, after all the clamour which has been raised by the general government and its adherents about submitting to the claims of the British to search our merchant ships for their men, and after we have been made to believe that the government would sooner go to war than continue to submit to such outrage, that we should now be told in the democratic prints that none but "mad caps" would go to war for such a principle. We like not this tergiversation. It was the height of folly in our government to make such a demand of Great Britain as the National Intelligencer informs us they did make; but having made it, they cannot, but with the deepest disgrace to themselves and the nation, relinquish the demand without so much as an effort to maintain it. It is the part of a bragadocio, of a patron, to make swaggering and blustering demands which he has no intention of enforcing. That Mr. Jefferson has been playing this contemptible part, we infer from the following paragraph, which we extract from one of his confidential papers, namely, Cheetham's American Citizen, published in Newyork.
It is not probable that a categorical answer, in four days, or a categorical answer at all, has been required by our Ministers with regard to the impressions from our merchantmen. Negotiations on this subject, at once delicate and of difficult adjustment, have been on the tapis many years. Washington, the "father of his country," found it impossible to obtain from the British government any concession on that ground; and Mr. Adams, his successor, after many well directed efforts, was equally unfortunate. Since the presidency of Mr. Adams, Mr. Jefferson has, with zeal and ability, directed his attention to an abatement or removal of the grievance, but with no greater success. In January, 1804, Mr. Madison concludes an elaborate paper, addressed to Mr. Monroe, with intimations to withdraw from the court of London, unless he could obtain a treaty, otherwise agreeable, expressly relinquishing the right of searching our merchant ships for men. Did he withdraw? No, nor has he to this moment, although nearly four years have since elapsed. The truth is, and it cannot and ought not to be concealed, that great as the grievance, wrong as the practice is, not one man could have been found in the country, except some mad-cap, ready to go to war to redress it, had it not been for the indignation excited by the outrageous conduct of the Leander and the Leopard. If "reparation and atonement" be made in the case of the Chesapeake, some of the best informed and most judicious men of our party seem to be of opinion, that it would be better to leave the other questions open for discussion and negotiation than upon it to involve the country in war."
The Emperor of all the Russias, has presented to Peter Dobell, Esq. of Canton, formerly of Philadelphia, an elegant casket, containing a diamond Ring, of immense value, as an acknowledgement for services rendered by Mr. Dobell to a Russian circumnavigator who put into Canton. This magnificent testimony of royal beneficence, is now in the possession of a gentleman in Phila.

NORFOLK, OCT. 26, 1807. ALARMING—IF TRUE.
The Editor of the Norfolk Ledger , has asserted, on the authority of two gentlemen of high respectability, and whose names, he adds, were he at liberty to give, would satisfy every one, that they are incapable of asserting an untruth, that, BEFORE the affair of the Chesapeake, those gentlemen waited on President Jefferson, to pay their respects to him;—that his conversation astonished them.—He expressed his persuasion, THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES WERE ZEALOUS FOR A WAR WITH BRITAIN:—That "France, he said, had ships and we had seamen."—On their return from the President's house, they conversed on the extraordinary language of the President, and agreed, that his views were for WAR WITH ENGLAND, and ALLIANCE WITH FRANCE!! "He is a perfect Frenchman," said one of them. Remember, all this was before the Chesapeake affair.
Pacific Orders.
Orders we understand have been sent from the war department, to the different military posts of the United States, directing that all deserters from the service of foreign nations, should be forthwith discharged. At this post several have been discharged; they were mostly, if not all British.—It is to be inferred, that our government is persuaded that the employment of deserters from other services, is either impolitic on our part or illegal, as respects the rights of other nations. If it is impolitic in our land service, it is more so in our naval service, because the means of becoming treacherous in the latter are more easy, and would be more ruinous to the service. The legality or justice would be alike in either case.
PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 3.
British Pacific Orders.
A number of vessels from European and West-India voyages have been lately boarded from a variety of the British ships of war, who have, in almost every instance, that we have heard of lately, treated our captains with marked politeness. One of them asked, from whence proceeded this unusual politeness? To which the British officer replied, NEW ORDERS! One of our captains was told in Jamaica, that they had new orders which enjoined them not to press an American that had a protection; and he adds, that it was observed, that the British officers did not search, or even enter the American vessels, in Jamaica, to look for men, as formerly.
IMPORTANT TO COMMERCE.
From Amsterdam, Sept. 14, 1807. "Vessels that have touched at England, or which have been carried into England, are not allowed to discharge here. As soon as a vessel arrives, the
different consignees of the cargo are obliged to give bonds to the treble value of the goods, that the vessel has not been in any of the English harbours. If it should afterwards appear that the vessel has really not been in England, then the bonds are given up; but if the contrary should be proved, the amount of the bonds must be immediately paid into the publick treasury, and the cargo confiscated. The merchants one and all have refused to sign such bonds, and several vessels (Americans) now here, will probably be turned away." The royal decree which imposes the above restrictions is dated Aug. 28, 1807.
FROM THE U. S. GAZETTE.
The President's Message.
PERHAPS a more atrocious usurpation of power was never attempted in a government of laws, than that by which Mr. Jefferson claims the right of reviewing and controlling the proceedings of the judiciary. Speaking, in his message to congress, of the late prosecutions in the district of Virginia, he says: "You will be enabled to judge whether the defect was in the testimony, in the law, or in the administration of the law; and wherever it shall be found, the legislature alone can apply or originate the remedy."
There is much important and alarming meaning in these few words. "You will be enabled to judge whether the defect," &c. How does it appear that there was any defect? Why, simply thus. At the last session of congress, Mr. Jefferson usurped the prerogatives of a court and jury, by positively pronouncing upon the guilt of Aaron Burr. Afterwards he was put upon his trial by due process of law, and two separate juries pronounced him not guilty. Now Mr. Jefferson, assuming the position that his sentence pronounced without trial is right, and that the sentence of the court and jury, informed upon a patient and tedious investigation is wrong, infers that there is a defect and that this defect exists either in the testimony, in the law, or in the administration of the law. Let us grant for a moment that a defect has really appeared in one of these three points; still we would ask what business has either the president or congress with it? Suppose the defect be in the testimony; that is, it was insufficient to found a conviction upon. Are congress to make provision for supplying such testimony in future as will be sufficient for the conviction of any person who may be denounced and declared guilty by the executive! As to the second subject proposed for consideration, namely a defect in the law, it is in every respect a proper subject for deliberation. If the executive has observed a defect in any of the laws, it is his duty to state the fact to the legislature, and to recommend a revision. But nothing can be more improper and indecent than the suggestion that the assumed defect may exist in the administration of the law, and the intimation that congress ought to apply the remedy. The constitution has wisely placed between the executive and the judicial departments an insuperable barrier, in case of the highest crimes and misdemeanors in a judge, the President is not at liberty, in his official capacity, so much as to speak upon the subject. It is for the immediate representatives of the people to complain and accuse by impeachment, and for the senate to judge and pronounce sentence. The President is not known or heard of in the business. He is even divested, in this instance, of the ordinary prerogative of pardoning. What then must we think of a chief magistrate who, because he has been disappointed of the destruction of a devoted victim of his vengeance, has dared to usurp the prerogative of the house of representatives in accusing a judge whose prerogative he had before usurped by pronouncing on the guilt of a person accused of the highest crime against the state!—If such enormities can be practised with impunity it is worse than idle to talk of the security of our rights or the freedom of our government.

LATEST Foreign Intelligence.
From the Paris Manteur.
KIEL, SEPT. 12, 1807.
On the second September, at night, the English commenced a terrible cannonade of Copenhagen, which continued nearly twelve hours; and after a short cessation, recommenced, and continued it for forty-eight hours without interruption.
On the 7th Gen. Peymann, with the advice of his general officers, agreed upon a capitulation, and issued a proclamation to his fellow-citizens, announcing the event.
The following is a correct copy of the capitulation:—
Capitulation of Copenhagen.
ART. I. Immediately after the signing and ratification of the present capitulation, the troops of his Britannic Majesty shall be put in possession of the citadel.
II. A guard of British shall also be placed in the naval arsenal.
III. The ships of the line and other vessels of war, of all kinds, with all the naval stores belonging to his Danish Majesty, shall be delivered to Commissioners to be appointed by the commanders in Chief of the forces of his Britannic Majesty, and the Commissioners shall immediately be put in possession of the naval arsenals and warehouses, and all the magazines and vessels they contain.
IV. Permission shall be given to the British transports, in case it shall be found necessary, to enter the port for the purpose of taking on board the troops and stores which shall have embarked on the island.
V. The vessels of war shall immediately proceed from the inner harbour; and in the space of six weeks from the date of the capitulation, or sooner if possible, the troops of his Britannic Majesty shall restore to the troops of his Danish Majesty, the citadel in the same state it was found when occupied by them.—The British troops shall embark from the island of Zealand; in the time above mentioned, or earlier if possible.
VI. From the moment of the signature of this capitulation, hostilities shall cease throughout the Island of Zealand.
VII. No person shall be molested, and every species of public and private property, excepting the ships and vessels of war, and the naval stores above mentioned, belonging to his Danish Majesty, shall be respected:—All the civil and military authorities in the service of his Danish Majesty shall continue in the full exercise of their functions throughout the island of Zealand; and every thing shall be done to produce union and harmony between the two nations.
VIII. All prisoners taken on either side, shall be reciprocally restored, with conditions; and the officers who have given the paroles of honor shall be discharged.
IX. All English property which shall have been sequestrated in consequence of hostilities shall be restored.
The present capitulation shall be ratified by the respective Commanders in Chief; and the ratifications shall be exchanged this day, before noon.
Done at Copenhagen, Sept. 7, 1807.
(Signed) JAMES GAMBIE, CATHCART, PEYMAN.
In consequence of this capitulation the English took possession, at noon, on the 7th September, of the citadel and the fleet. It is impossible to calculate the loss in the city. Three hundred and five houses were reduced to ashes. They are at this moment occupied in equipping the fleet: The English troops are embarking; and the fleet will depart in a month.
The sequestration of English goods was taken off the 9th.
The Prince Royal has refused to acknowledge the capitulation.
British Admiralty Office, Sept. 16.
Capt. Collier, of his Majesty's ship the Surveillante, arrived at this office this morning with a dispatch from Ad. Gambier, commander in chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels in the Baltic, addressed to the Hon. William Wellesley Pole, secretary of the admiralty, dated Prince of Wales, in Copenhagen roads, 7th September, 1807, of which the following is a copy:
Sir—The communications which I have already had the honor to transmit to you, will have made the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty acquainted with the proceedings of the fleet under my command, down to the 2d instant; I have now to add, that the mortar batteries which had been erected by the army in the several positions they had taken round Copenhagen, together with the bomb vessels, which were placed in convenient situations,
began the bombardment in the morning of that day, with such power and effect, that in a short time, the town was set on fire, and on the repeated discharges of our artillery, was kept in flames in different places till the evening of the 5th, when a considerable part of it being consumed, and the conflagration having arrived at a great height, threatening the speedy destruction of the whole city, the general commanding the garrison sent out a flag of truce designing an armistice, to afford time to treat for a capitulation. After some correspondence had passed between the Danish General and Lord Cathcart and myself, certain articles were agreed upon, of which I have the honor to transmit you a copy. From these their Lordships will perceive, that all the Danish ships and vessels of war, [of which I enclose a list] with the stores in the arsenal, were to be delivered up to such persons as should be appointed to receive them on the part of his Majesty. I accordingly appointed Sir Home Popham for this purpose, and having made the necessary arrangements for equipping them with the utmost dispatch, I have committed the execution of this service to Vice Admiral Stanhope, in whose ability and exertions I can place the fullest confidence.
I am happy on this occasion to express the warm sense I entertain of the cordial co-operation of the army, by whose exertions, with the favorable concurrence of circumstances, under Divine Providence, ever since we left Britain, our ultimate success has been more immediately obtained. I must also convey to their Lordships, in terms of the highest approbation and praise, the conspicuous zeal and earnest endeavors of every officer and man under my command for the accomplishment of this service; and although the operations of the fleet have not been of a nature to afford me a general and brilliant occasion for adding fresh testimony to the numerous records of the bravery of British seamen and mariners, yet the gallantry and energy displayed by the advanced squadron of sloops, bombs, gun brigs, &c. which were employed under the command of Captain Puffet to cover the operations of the left wing of the army from the Danish flotilla, ought not to be passed over in silence. I have beheld with admiration the steady courage and arduous exertion with which, on one occasion in particular, they sustained for more than four hours a heavy and incessant cannonade with the Danish batteries, blockships, praams, and gun-boats, in a situation where, from the shoalness of the water, it was impossible to bring any of the large ships to their support.
I feel it my duty to make a particular acknowledgment of the aid I have derived from Sir Home Popham, Captain of the fleet, whose prompt resources and complete knowledge of his profession, especially of that branch which is connected with the operations of an army, qualify him in a particular manner for the arduous and various duties with which he has been charged.
I herewith enclose an account of the killed and wounded. I beg leave to refer their Lordships to captain Collier, whom I have charged with this dispatch, for any further particulars they may desire to know. I have the honor to be, &c.

CHEAP DEFENCE OF NATIONS.
SEPT. 19.
His Majesty has directed letters to Ad. Gambier, and Gen. Lord Cathcart, expressive of his highest approbation of their conduct. The former is created a Baron, and the latter is to be advanced to the dignity of a Viscount of the United Kingdom. Sir Arthur Wellesley is likewise to have some additional honor conferred upon him. Vice-Admiral Stanhope and Sir Home Popham, are to be created Baronets.
DISHONORABLE ACT.
The letters from our fleet in the Baltic, mention an act of atrocity on the part of the Danes, of which there are few examples; and which, for the honor of the Danish character, we trust has no foundation. It is said, that, upon a survey made by our carpenters of the bottoms of the Danish ships, it was discovered that most of them was scuttled. The manner in which this is supposed to have been effected, is as ingenious as the motive must have been detestable. In the bow of each ship, below the water mark, a square hole is said to have been cut, into which a piece of thin deal plank was so neatly inserted, as almost to escape the closest observation. If this diabolical stratagem had succeeded, not one of the vessels in which it was practised, could have reached a British port.
RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.
The last letters received from St. Petersburg, are rather of a satisfactory nature. They do not intimate that there is the least probability of an interruption of the good understanding which has subsisted between this country and Russia.
An application was made to Russia, by our government, to guarantee the independence of Denmark, which was declined.
KIEL, SEPT. 15.
The regular troops in Copenhagen, when it was first invested, were 7000—and there were about 3 or 4000 sailors. The British force was more than 30,000. In a sortie 3d Sept. the Danes were repulsed, with the loss of 1000 men. The garrison, before the capitulation, was reduced to 3 or 4000 men. The bombs and grenades thrown by the British amounted to more than 20,000 without mentioning the balls. 1500 citizens were killed, and 400 wounded of both sexes.
We hear that the King of Sweden is attacked with a nervous disorder.
PARIS, SEPT. 19.
The French have been put in possession of the "Seven-Isles," by the Russians.
The Crown Prince has refused to ratify the capitulation concluded with the English by the military commander at Copenhagen, and declared that Denmark shall continue at war with England. It is presumed the King will agree with the Prince. Consultations have been held with the French General commanding at Hamburg, (Bernadotte) and a Danish Agent has been sent to Paris.

MOBS IN BALTIMORE.
BALTIMORE, NOV. 3.
An invitation "To the Young Men of Baltimore," to tar and feather Luther Martin, Esq. and others, appeared this morning in a daily paper of this city; and an infamous handbill was circulated, giving notice that the Chief Justice
of the U.S. and others, would be burnt in effigy. We are authorized to say, (and beg the "young men" will take warning) that efficient measures have been taken to quell riot, and preserve the peace of the city.
CIVIL AUTHORITY.
PHILAD. NOV. 6.
On Tuesday last, a mob paraded the streets of Baltimore, with four effigies, halted before the house of L. Martin, but did it no damage, and finally marched on the common, where they fired the same.
[In consequence of these proceedings, Mr. Martin, published the following Note, in the Federal Gazette, of the 4th Nov.]
MR. HEWES, Through the channel of your paper, permit me to express to the mayor, and to the other civil authorities, as also to the military, particularly Capt. Wm. Barney, and the First Baltimore Hussars, and Capt. Samuel Hollingsworth, and the First Baltimore Troop of Horse, my approbation, for their exertions last evening, to preserve the persons and property of myself and others, from lawless violence. But to those worthy friends of mine, who filled my drawing-room, armed with every necessary weapon, to repel such violence. No language can sufficiently express my gratitude, and while I live, they may command my every service. The endearing proof they have given me of their friendship and zeal is as to myself, infinitely more than a compensation for any indignity meant to be shewn to me by the deceived, deluded individuals who planned and executed the outrage: But to those of my fellow-citizens who are really anxious for the prosperity of the city, I would make a request, that they will seriously consider of the consequences of such conduct; and how deeply such conduct wounds its best interest. What person would wish to transfer his person, or his capital to a place where life, liberty and property are to be held at the will of an infuriated Mob! The cities of Philadelphia and New-York, who view with jealousy your rival greatness, will rejoice at your folly: and to the citizens of Annapolis, no act could have been more grateful—How often have they said, that if the seat of government should be removed to Baltimore, the legislature and the courts of justice would be overawed and insulted by the Mob of the City!
To the misguided promoters of the late proceedings, I would give one admonition. If they are in reality what they profess to be, the friends of republican institutions, they are taking the most effectual method to bring such institutions into contempt and detestation. I have only to add, that as no actual injury was done to persons or property, I rejoice that not a drop of blood has been shed. It would have rendered me unhappy indeed, had a single individual lost his life, while he confined himself to the amusement of attending my effigy to the funeral pile.
LUTHER MARTIN.
[To explain to distant readers the allusion in Mr. Martin's Letter to the affair of last evening, it may be necessary to remark, that, agreeable to the "invitation" noticed yesterday, a number of persons assembled on the Point, who prepared the Effigies of CHIEF JUSTICE MARSHALL, Col. Burr, Mr. Blennerhassett, and Mr. Martin, which they paraded through the streets, and afterwards hung and burnt. The people of Baltimore took no part in the frolic.]
Pennsylvania Election.—The Aurora of Saturday contains a table showing the result of the late Election in that State. From this it appears that there is in the House of Representatives a Federal majority of one, and in the Senate a Democratic majority of three. Of the Senate only seven members were now elected, and of these seven, four are Federalists. Had there been an election of the whole Senate at this time, would have been a Federal majority in both branches of the Pennsylvania Legislature.
N. T. Spectator.
The following anecdote (says the Virginia Gazette) is really too good to be kept from the public; it shews at once the temper of the people, and their ungovernable desire to punish vice.
"One day last week, a stranger was passing thro' this neighborhood, and fell in with an old gentleman by the name of Rigby, who he begged to secret him a few days until he could make his escape. "Why, replied Mr. Rigby, do you wish to be secreted?" "I have just murdered Burr, and I wish to keep snug a day or so, until I can set off safely." Rigby at once agreed, took him home with him and kept him very snug, gave him the best his house afforded, until the fellow found out where the old man kept his cash, which he found it convenient to possess himself of, together with the old fellows great coat and some other travelling necessaries, and took himself off very quickly, to the great astonishment and mortification of the good Mr. Rigby."
Chesterfield county, 25th Oct 1807.
A report prevailed at Washington, that Mr. Hay, in taking leave of the district court at Richmond, expressed opinions which did not go to the exoneration of Gen. Wilkinson—Mr. Jefferson's commendations of his "eager," notwithstanding—Vol. Reg.
Portland,
Monday, November 16, 1807.
Foreign Intelligence.
Arrivals from various parts of Europe, the last week, furnish much important and interesting intelligence.
Under our foreign head are the particulars of the surrender of Copenhagen.
The loss of the British is very small, whilst that of the Danes was considerable.
The Danes lost 1000 men in one sortie, and the garrison was reduced from 7 to 4000 men.
Fifteen hundred of the inhabitants lost their lives, and the Danish commander refused to capitulate, till the situation of the city became desperate.
The Crown Prince refused to ratify the capitulation of Gen. Peymann; and is determined to continue the war with England.
Vigorous means are adopted by all the maritime powers under the control of Bonaparte on the continent, for interdicting all commercial intercourse with Great-Britain; and the government of England are determined to capture all vessels bound to an enemy's port. Bonaparte will carry the same principle into effect also.
American Affairs.
On the situation of affairs between this country and Great Britain we have nothing official. Reports and Newspaper accounts have been various and contradictory. As the public are much interested in the question of PEACE or WAR, every rumor is viewed as important. The first of last week it was reported that the Revenge had been spoken with on her passage from London for Washington, bringing a declaration of war. The next day it was stated that an arrival at New-York, brought intelligence that a treaty between the two countries was agreed upon and signed. We have verbal information from Liverpool as late as Sept. 21, by which we learn that Mr. Maury, American Consul at that place, expressed a confident belief that matters would be amicably adjusted.
[After preparing the above, Mr. Szwall, of this town, politely handed us the Boston Palladium of Friday last, containing the following extra and interesting information.—The Editors of the Palladium will accept our thanks for their attention.]
Palladium Office Friday Morning, 3 o'clock. A gentleman this moment arrived from New-York, in 39 hours, has favoured us with a paper of Wednesday last.
The Samson , which left Plymouth, Eng. Oct. 9, had arrived at New-York, and brought London dates to Sept. 30. The Revenge was at Portsmouth Oct. 2, where Mr. Monroe was expected in a few days to embark; his baggage had been packed up for a week previous. It was rumored, that the right of search for seamen would not be yielded by the British, not even as respected national ships, and the prospect of an accommodation was gloomy. The English had issued orders to detain all American vessels bound to or from the ports of an Enemy.
The London Star , Sept. 28, says; "We are informed that our Government has resolved to RETALIATE ON FRANCE BY A PROCLAMATION IN THE EXACT MODEL OF THE FRENCH DECREES. Not only the coasts of France and Italy, but every European port under the control of Napoleon, as also all foreign dependencies, will be declared in a state of blockade, and all vessels trading with them considered good prizes. We understand the definitive answer given Mr. Monroe is exactly conformable to the principles about to be adopted."
A very new and formidable expedition was fitting out, said to be destined to try Buenos Ayres once more. It must be suspected of some other destination.
"Mr. Monroe it seems, was instructed to declare, that should the British Government refuse to concede the points demanded by America, the Non-Importation Act would immediately be enforced.—The reply was, I am commanded by his Majesty to inform you, that the issue of such an order by the American Government will be con-

considered and held as a declaration of war." "On the points respecting the right of search. "Mr. Monroe was informed, that this country will maintain its rights not only respecting goods, but seamen—not even excepting American ships of war."
FROM RUSSIA. Capt. Cleveland, who arrived at Boston on Friday last, sailed from Cronstadt, on the 15th of Sept. There had been a complete change of Ministry; the former Ministers, and many subordinate officers, had resigned in consequence of the conclusion of the treaty with France, which was unpopular. The new administration are, of course, rather in favor of France. Apprehensions were entertained of a hostile visit from the British, and defensive preparations were making.
Davis Floyd , who was lately convicted of a Misdemeanor, as a party in Burn's horrid conspiracy, after being sentenced to a fine of TEN dollars, and THREE HOURS imprisonment, has since been appointed Clerk to the Legislature of the Indiana Territory!!! As the Court before which Floyd was tried, were all DEMOCRATS; the jury which convicted him DEMOCRATS; and the Legislature which appointed him their Clerk, after conviction all GENUINE democrats, we shall like to see how their brother democrats this way, will get over, or UNDER the sentence and the APPOINTMENT!—Or what they will say of the DISPOSITION of their south-western BRETHREN!—New-York paper.
MARRIED. At Bridgewater, after a courtship of three days, Mr. Jonathan Hayden, aged 76, to Miss Joanna Packard, aged 70. In Falmouth, (Me.) Deacon Solomon Haskell, aged 83, to Mrs. Quimby, aged 76.

Crocker, a native of Massachusetts.—In Charleston, suddenly, Mr. Thomas Hatten, comedian, of the Charleston Theatre, and formerly of the Haymarket Theatre, London.—In Brattleborough, (Vt.)

Memoranda.—From the registers of deaths in the Russian empire, during the year 1806, it appears, that there died in that period, one between 145 and 150 years of age, one between 130 and 135, four between 125 and 130, six between 120 and 125, thirty two between 115 and 120, twenty six between 110 and 115, eighty six between 105 and 110, one hundred and thirty seven between 100 and 105, and eleven hundred and thirty four between 95 and 100.

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 Build- ings thereto adjoining and belonging. The natural advantages that here present themselves, together with the very great im- provements 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 Bol- ting 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 faws in mo- tion, 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 (ex- cept an unusual dry season) when two faws may not be employed, even in the three sum- mer months. Each of the faws is capable of cutting four thousand of boards a day:— The fall of water, is 15 feet on an average. The St. George's River, which together with its Ponds, extends thirty miles into the back Country, affords upon its banks an all most inexhaustible supply of Lumber, of vari- ous 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 mag- nificent work, connecting the waters above said Mills with the tide waters, and Calcula- ted 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 nav- igation; making them productive of a reve- nue of more than 500 dollars a year exclusive of the advantage derived to the Mills from them. This Canal may fairly be calculated, as a progressive and certain revenue. Adjoining the Mills, is a Farm of about 150 acres of excellent Land; one half of which, is cleared, and under improvement, lying on both sides of the river; and in every point of view, whether of soil, situation, or increas- ing 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 peo- ple, with a Cooper's shop, beautifully situated upon the bank of the river, and one quar- ter 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 appli- cation 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 an- nual rent, or on shares as may be agreed upon. For terms of sale, apply to H. JACKSON. Boston, September 1 1807. (14)
