MR. ADAMS, THE 26th of November, inst. being appointed by the authority of this Commonwealth, as a day of Public Thanksgiving and Praise , it cannot be deemed querulous, or incompatible with our duty as citizens, to enquire how far the Proclamation, now before the public, is calculated to answer the original design of this laudable, pious and venerable institution. We are told that it is in imitation of the example of our pious ancestors, that we are requested to lay aside our ordinary occupations, and present ourselves in the sanctuary with grateful hearts to the Author & Preserver of our existence, and the bestower of all our mercies; but to ascertain how far this example had influence in dictating this proclamation, we need only compare the things recommended as subjects of thanksgiving and praise , with those recommended in former proclamations.—Though many things are mentioned with the strictest propriety, and which really merit our grateful acknowledgments; yet the proclamation as an instrument of this nature, discovers un pardonable deficiency. It is a principle of natural as well as a precept of revealed religion, that we should confess our dependence on the invisible "Father of our spirits," and that we should thank and praise Him for all his beneficence to us, his unworthy creatures. We ought, in the language of the proclamation, to feel thankful, "that he put it into the hearts of our ancestors" to encourage science, and the necessary and useful arts of life; that He enabled them to repel an invading foe; and that He preserves us from oppression, and affords us the inestimable privilege of a mild and equitable government. It is proper and commendable, that we should "express our gratitude by manumission to the poor," that "to our gratitude we should unite true and sincere repentance" for all our sins, and that we should "ardently and sincerely" endeavor "to discourage intemperance and wickedness, and to encourage and promote piety, virtue, morality & religion." These things ought to be done; but there are other things of greater importance, that, on such an occasion as this, ought not to be left undone. Even the sages among the Heathen who were morally disposed, confessed all these obligations, and pretended to discharge many of them by frequent festivals consecrated to their various deities.
But it will be asked, does not the proclamation recommend thankfulness, that "the place of our habitation" is "marked out where the gospel is enjoyed?" I answer, it is barely mentioned, and a selfish deist might do the same: for men of this stamp have not been wanting, who have confessed the happy tendency of christianity upon the morals of society. But the gospel is not mentioned as the way and only way of salvation. It is not mentioned as a rich, invaluable, and distinguishing blessing, without which all other mercies would only tend to lead us farther from God, and ultimately aggravate our ruin. It is not noticed as a system of grace originating in the pure mercy of our heavenly Father, and worthy of all acceptance. And where is the name of its Author and Founder? Not surely in this proclamation. The very merits of a Redeemer as procuring pardon and salvation, are excluded. Does this look like an imitation of our pious ancestors? Let their public proclamations, and the records of their lives, principles and actions, solve the question.
With what impressions, those who minister at the Altar of the Redeemer, and profess to be devoted to his service and to the promotion of his kingdom, will receive and read this proclamation, I will not take it upon me to determine; but I believe they must confess that subjects of, at many moment are omitted, and that it discovers a dereliction of principle over which piety must mourn.
The present is a time peculiarly interesting to the christian world, and nothing could be more appropriate, than the great exertions which are making for the spread of christianity, and the evident blessing with which they are attended, should be included among the recommendations for a day of public Thanksgiving. While many of the most illustrious and benevolent characters of every protestant kingdom of Europe are sacrificing their time & ease and wealth, and some forsaking their native home, and traversing the inhospitable and dreary region of Asia and Africa to make known the glad tidings of salvation to the wretched, benighted and perishing Heathen; ought not we who enjoy the gospel to offer at least our thanksgivings to Almighty God for their present, and our prayers for their future success? But not the most distant, or obscure allusion to any of these things can be found in the proclamation. The eulogium paid the president is forced, ill-timed, awkward, and inapplicable. Every peasant who "ventures abroad beyond the smoke of his own chimney," knows that it does not naturally result from the present situation of our country; and the late message of the president relative to our foreign affairs, expressly contradicts the intended compliment. I do not object to any one's attachment to the present administration; I only lament that men of talents, should, by an unreasonable devotedness, and puerile servility, render themselves contemptible in view of a reflecting community. It is hoped our Ministers will be more faithful to the cause of their divine Master, than our rulers have been, or the intentions of our pious ancestors will no more be answered by this day of Thanksgiving than by the celebrations of the revels of Bacchus, or the Olympic games. NO DEIST.

MR. ADAMS, HAVING seen in the newspapers some observations upon the COMET, which is still visible; and, in one or two instances, its place in the heavens, but no regular account of its progress, I thought it might not be amiss to send you, for publication, some extracts from a series of observations made in this town every fair evening since the 30th of September. These will be sufficient to trace his path among the Constellations, without troubling you with the journal of every day.
I will premise that the distances were taken soon after the Comet became visible in the evening, with as much accuracy as the eye and the sextant would permit; and are, to the best of my judgment, pretty near the truth. But the problems, being all worked upon a twelve-inch celestial globe, cannot, for obvious reasons, lay a like claim to exactness. However, the data being given, any person having the skill and the curiosity can solve them geometrically to suit himself.
Sept. 30th, 1807.—The Comet distant from Oct. 7, 1807. Abengue. (1) 6° 27' Arcturus, 21° 30' Arcturus, (2) 21° 24' Asengue, 52° 00' Rt. ascension, 222 02 Atair, (3) 64° 42' N. declination, 1 20 Rt. ascension, 229 23 From the Sun, 16 30 N. declin. 8 20 Just in the west'n edge Fr'm the sun 25 22 of the constellation Serpens.

His lustre has gradually diminished since the 30th September, and is now scarcely to be discerned by the naked eye, but is very plainly to be seen through a telescope.
That this illustrious stranger, whose path is among the stars, and whose splendid appearance, either in his approach to, or recess from the sun, has been viewed with wonder and admiration by every eye in every world of our system; has travelled thro' the territories of Serpens, and is now journeying in the empire of Hercules, is all I certainly know. That he will soon arrive at the limited duty of Lyra, whence he will pass through the wide domains of Cygnus, and soon into the boundless regions of Euphrates, I can venture to foretell.—But whence he came, or to what country he belongs—whether solely to ours, or whether he is a chain that binds one system to another; whether he was ever here before, or will ever visit us again: whether his task is to replenish our system with fire, air and water, or to take away redundancies: whether his inhabitants are happy or unhappy beings; or whether he is inhabited at all—I neither know, nor have the least concern. Believing, as I most firmly do, that whatever his errand may be, it is of the most friendly and beneficent kind; and that our well being—nay, our very existence and that of the whole solar system, not to say of the universe itself, in some way depend upon, and are connected with it.
ALDERAMIN.
Portland, Nov. 17, 1807. P. S. I will just mention that Mr. Folger, at Nantucket, on the 24th Sept. took the distance of the Comet from
Arcturus, 23° 30' Asengue, 65° 23'
NOTES.
(1) Asengue (or Vega) a star in the Constellation Lyra. (2) Arcturus, a star in the skirt of the Constellation Boötes. (3) Atair (or Alcair) a star in the head of Aquila.
I have given the right ascension and declination rather than the latitude and longitude, because the problems are easier solved, and, I believe, better understood.

GALLANT ACTION.—The following article is copied from a Bridgetown (Barbadoes) paper of Oct. 6. "The capture of the enemy's privateer Janna Richard, by the Windsor-castle-packet, mentioned in our paper of Saturday, on which day they arrived here, will, in a comparative degree, ever rank among the most gallant achievements of our navy, and truly deserves every encomium that can be bestowed upon it. The disparity of force between the two vessels puts this brilliant action in the clearest point of view, and serves further to establish the general reputation of our seamen; while it reflects great credit upon the cool and collected
courage of Mr. Rogers, acting captain, as well as on the steady, good conduct and discipline of his crew. The Windsor Castle carries four 6 and two 4 pounders, and twenty-eight men; the privateer six 9's, and one long 18 pounder amidships, worked on a traverse, and ninety-eight men. The action, from its commencement, (which was on the part of the enemy at long shot) to its close, was nearly three hours, but it was in a hard fight about twenty minutes, yard arm and yard arm, that the victory was gained. The enemy run on board the packet, and hung on her grappante and with her musketry and traverse guns did her much injury; but capt. Rogers availing himself of the height of his quarters, kept up so galling a fire of musketry, the enemy was foiled in every attempt to throw his men on board, numbers of whom were also picked from her shrouds and netting in their efforts to get over. One of the quarter deck guns of the packet being also brought to bear fore and aft on the enemy, the captain ordered an additional charge of one-hundred musket balls, which was poured in upon her with such dreadful slaughter, that her deck was instantly covered with killed and wounded, and such a general panic given the whole crew, that the remainder fled from their quarters.—Capt. Rogers with equal presence of mind & promptitude, seized the occasion, and with five men only, leaped on board the enemy, who were instantly secured by battering down the main hatch, and guarding the fore scuttle; from whence after himself striking the enemy's colours, they were ordered up, one at a time, and secured with their own irons, which they were compelled to produce. The loss of the packet in this bold and gallant affair, was three killed and ten wounded; that of the enemy, 33 killed and 31 wounded; which even still gave her a superiority of number over the original complement of the packet, and more than double that which remained after the surrender!—The mizen mast of the Windsor Castle is totally disabled, and her sails and rigging much cut up; the privateer is but little injured in either hull or rigging, and is a remarkably fine schooner, and has been one of the most successful of the enemy's cruisers."
BOSTON, NOV. 14.
ALARMING TO COMMERCE.
From ANTWERP, Sept. 23, 1807. "We understand, an order has been given out by the Emperor, to capture every vessel, bound to, or from England, and if with cargoes, are to be considered as good prize. This is a mortal blow to the American Commerce; and we fear will lead to a rupture between America and France."
A gentleman, who came passenger in the Sally-Baker-Winsor, informs us, "That two cases of capture, [American] made since, and under the Decree of the 21st of Nov. 1806, were brought before the Prize Court at Bordeaux, a short time before he left that city; but the Court had refused to give an opinion, until fresh instructions should be received from the Emperor.—These instructions were called for by the Court, and a question demanded—Whether the Decree was to be put in full force against the Americans? His answer was, That in effect, the law must operate against them as with all other neutrals."
We are favored with the following article, from a source which may be relied on.
"Answers were given by the Emperor, to the Council of Prizes, on the 23d Sept. last to the following Questions:—"
1st. Whether there should be any exceptions to the decree of Nov. 21, 1806, in favour of such nations, as, by their treaties, were allowed a free trade, or the privilege of neutralizing enemies property; ANSWER, That as the Decree contained no exceptions, there should not be any made in its application. 2d. Whether neutral vessels, in ballast, should also be made liable to confiscation, upon the plea of capture, or stress of weather, if they had entered a British port. ANSWER, That it must lay over for further consideration. 3d. Whether one half of the confiscated property, should, in all cases, be appropriated towards indemnifying sufferers by British spoliations?—The answer was in the affirmative.
The fate of the two greatest warriors that Russia has produced, is a proof of the deficiency of motive offered on her part to her veterans, to exert themselves against the Lord of Europe. Suwarow, the most efficient antagonists ever opposed to Bonaparte died broken and disgraced after all his victories. Bennigsen was a worthy successor; and would have done more honor to the Russian arms had his noble and patriotic views not been counteracted by the nerveless policy of his master. We are informed by respectable authority, that Bennigsen was decidedly opposed to peace. That he begged the Emperor Alexander to return to Petersburg and leave the management of the war to him. He openly professed the Fabian and Washington policy. He declared that his army was not competent to a general engagement with the forces of his antagonist, but says his design was by partial conflicts to injure his troops to war; to make them veterans. In doing this, his design was to lead Bonaparte into the confines of Russia, where the French army could reinforce with difficulty & he with ease, then by a disposition of recruits, who could be furnished in any numbers, among the veterans, he promised himself his eventual triumph would be complete. Rational as the plan appears, it was rejected. Alexander & Talleyrand had an interview. Bennigsen was allowed to retire, and a peace was concluded.

LONDON, SEPT. 27.
British State Paper.
DECLARATION.
HIS Majesty owes to himself and to Europe a frank Exposition of the motives which have dictated his late measures in the Baltic. His Majesty has delayed this Exposition only in the hope of that more amicable arrangement with the Court of Denmark, which it was His Majesty's first wish and endeavor to obtain, for which he was ready to make great efforts and great sacrifices; and of which he never lost sight, even in the moment of the most decisive hostility.—Deeply as the disappointment of this hope has been felt by His Majesty, he has the consolation of reflecting, that no exertion was left untried on his part to produce a different result. And while he laments the cruel necessity which has obliged him to have recourse to acts of hostility against a Nation with which it was His Majesty's most earnest desire to have established the relations of common interests and alliance; His Majesty feels confident that, in the eyes of Europe and of the world, the justification of his conduct will be found in the commanding and indispensable duty, paramount to all others amongst the obligations of a Sovereign, of providing, while there was yet time, for the immediate security of his people.—His Majesty had received the most positive information of the determination of the present Ruler of France to occupy, with a military force, the territory of Holstein, for the purpose of excluding Great-Britain from all her accustomed channels of communication with the Continent; of including or compelling the Court of Denmark to close the passage of the Sound against the British Commerce and Navigation; and of availing himself of the aid of the Danish Marine for the invasion of Great-Britain and of Ireland.—Confident as His Majesty was of the authenticity of the sources from which this intelligence was derived, and confirmed in the credit which he gave to it, as well by the notorious and repeated declarations of the enemy, and by its recent occupation of the towns and territories of other neutral States, as by the preparations actually made for collecting a hostile force upon the frontiers of his Danish Majesty's Continental Dominions, His Majesty would yet willingly have forborne to act upon this intelligence, until the complete and practical disclosure of the plan had made manifest to all the world the absolute necessity of resisting it. His Majesty did forbear, as long as there could be a doubt of the urgency of the danger, or a hope of an effectual counteraction to it, in the means or in the dispositions of Denmark.—But His Majesty could not but recollect that when, at the close of the former war the Court of Denmark engaged in a hostile Con-

OUR latest accounts from England are to October the 12th:—under this date we find the following article, which is undoubtedly correct —
London, Oct. 12.—The most important matter the question of peace or war with America, is now decided, as far as a decision can take place in this Country. Our Ministers have delivered to Mr. Munroe and Mr. Pinckney their final answer in regard to all the leading points of the dispute. This answer is of a nature on which it by no means falls within the powers of the American Envoys to decide, and it now becomes their duty to submit the whole in the speediest manner, to their Government. Mr. Munroe is preparing for an early departure, but he has not yet determined whether he will go out in the Augustus or the Revenge. The latter it seems, is a most pitiful vessel, destitute of all convenient accommodation, and unfit for a winter passage.
The intention of a general blockade of the Enemy's ports is now said to be relinquished from an apprehension that it would injure the import of our manufactures into the Continent. The American Merchants infer from this circumstance, and from the condescending manner of his Majesty on Wednesday, when Mr. Monroe had his audience of leave, that the chances are in favor of peace. Nothing, however, can be affirmed with confidence until the disposition of the Executive and Congress be explicitly ascertained.—Government have determined to recall Mr. Erskine and to send out a new Ambassador; but on whom this important choice will fall, is not yet known with certainty.
By the above it is pretty evident that the British Ministry have resolved on leaving the question of PEACE or WAR with the government of the United States.
Mr. Monroe was preparing to leave England with the ultimatum of the British government, at the last dates.
It is stated that Mr. Erskine, the British Minister to the U. S. is recalled.
England is determined on keeping possession of Toningen, and has ordered a force to proceed to that place for the above purpose.
The American vessels bound to the Continent, which were lately carried into England, have been liberated.
Emperor Bonaparte has ordered his brother, king Louis, of Holland, to interdict all English commerce, otherwise he shall make him an imperial visit, at the head of 40,000 men.
FROM RUSSIA.
Capt. Harradon, arrived at Salem, from Petersburg, which he left Sept. 16th, informs of the arrival there of a large number of troops, with artillery;—of the erection of furnaces for heating shot; and of various other preparations against an attack. He confirms the accounts of the charges wrought in the Russian Ministry, by the French Ambassador: but that most of the Nobles considered the late peace disgraceful. On the passage, Oct. 4th, Capt. Harradon spoke the ship Pigou, Collet, seven days from Cronstadt for London; who informed, that previous to his leaving Cronstadt, all the English vessels were detained there by order of government.
Independent Judiciary.—The President, in his message to Congress, sufficiently shews his dissatisfaction at the decision on the trial of Burr (whom he still, notwithstanding his acquittal, calls an offender,) and his desire that the judiciary may be placed more within reach of the arm of power.—In the Vermont legislature a motion has been introduced by a member, who has long been in intimate connection with the President, for placing the judiciary of the United States under the control of the legislature.—The democrats of Baltimore, practising upon these wise hints, came well nigh deluging their city in blood, by assembling to tar and feather Mr. Martin, on account of his pleading the cause of Burr; but they were prevented by a military force; they however succeeded in burning him, together with Chief Justice Marshall, in effigy.—Blessed times we shall have, when the constitutional judiciary shall be overthrown, and we shall receive judgment from a mob, under a lamp post!—Salem Gaz.
Reasoning in favour of Mobs.—“You think (says A. to B) that my friend Jones is a rascal, and so you are determined to tar and feather him—I think your friend Peters is a scoundrel, and therefore I intend to pull his house down.”—Palladium.
Extract from the journal of capt. Barber “On the 27th of June last, the Jews of Mogadore were by command of the Emperor, all ordered to leave the town at an hour's warning; the order was immediately enforced by the governor, and the poor unfortunate Jews to the number of seven thousand were obliged to evacuate their own houses and seek refuge from the burning rays of the sun, under the outer walls of the town, tents, sheds, &c. An heart-felt scene of confusion and distress was the immediate consequence. Men, women and children; the sick and infirm, in whatever critical situation, were alike hurried from their houses and sick beds, and exposed upon the hot sands, surrounded by hundreds of scoffing Moors, exulting at their distresses—after walking a few hours amongst them and beholding with horror their pitiful condition, I turned upon my heel and thanked God that I belonged to a country in which no Emperor's orders were to be obeyed. As soon as the Jews had all gone out, their houses were appraised by the Emperor's agents about one-eighth of their real cost and value; which sum was immediately paid them, and their houses taken possession of by the Moors. After all had been thus settled, the Emperor most graciously assigned them a spot of ground on which to build again. The reason assigned for this oppressive treatment was, that the Jews corrupted the morals of the Moors by living with them: but the more probable cause was that the Emperor wished to take from them a large share of their property, and not having any just foundation of complaint, adopted the above as a pretext most likely to go down with his subjects.”
At a meeting of the Directors of the Bank of the United States, held at the bank at Philadelphia, Nov. 10, 1807:— Thomas Willing, Esq. having resigned the appointment of President—David Lenox, Esq. was unanimously elected President of the said Bank. G. SIMPSON, Cashier.
THE ODDS— BETWEEN NOW AND FORMERLY. Mobs in Baltimore and New-Orleans—Commerce at a dead stand:—Our seamstresses spinning street yarn:—Our Mechanics out of employ, and not permitted to enjoy even a portion of the publick work:—Our Merchants turned Quiddity:—No markets for the abundant products of the earth and fields, to repay the Husbandman for his toil and expenses:—Confidence and Credit gone:—Specie vanished:—And each man, with anxious solicitude, inquiring of his neighbor, what is next to happen? Is not this a true picture?—The Contrast, every man who has the power of recollection, can readily furnish.—Cent.
KEENE, (N. H.) NOV. 7. SWIFT vs. MULLIKIN. This action was tried this week at the Superior Court in this town, and was for criminal conversation with the Plaintiff's wife. It appears that the Defendant was a boarder in the Plaintiff's family, had seduced his wife, and eloped with her—and it did not appear in the evidence that the Plaintiff had lived unhappily with her before her acquaintance with the Defendant. A verdict was found for the Plaintiff with fifteen hundred dollars damages.
The London Star, Sept. 28, says, the seizure of American vessels by the French “excites no bullying, no threats from the American government.” The military and naval stores taken at Copenhagen are estimated by some persons at 2,000,000 of dollars. The ships on the stocks were taken to pieces to be carried away.
An English anti-ministerial paper mentions, that it was proposed by France to Russia to attack Sweden, and force her to give up 12 of her ships to France, which should be united to an equal number from Russia, as many more from Denmark, and be joined by 8 from Holland, and 7 from Antwerp, forming a force of 50 ships of the line; but the destruction of the Danish fleet enables Sweden to laugh at the project.
FROM SPAIN. Capt. Babson, from Cadiz, which he left the 6th October, informs, that 90,000 French troops were expected in Spain, and that the Spanish fleet of nine sail of the line, was preparing for sea with great activity; and a squadron from the Mediterranean expected to join them.—The object uncertain. The Royal Family of Portugal, in expectation of a French visit, were preparing to embark for the Brazils.
A root, called arracatcha , native of South America, and affording a light, wholesome farinaceous nutriment, has been lately introduced into Europe, and promises to supplant the potatoe.
HOSTILITY TO NEUTRALS. SEPT. 30.—The late French papers contain numerous accounts of measures adopted in the States under the controul of Bonaparte, extremely hostile to neutral trade. In Holland, the decree of August 28, is declared to enact, “That all vessels entering the ports of Holland having cargoes consisting in whole or in part, of English merchandise, or coming from an enemy's ports, [meaning any English port] shall be CONFISCATED.” On the 29th August, 4000 French troops, under General Molis entered Leghorn, and laid an embargo on all neutral, as well as other vessels. All the ports belonging to the Pope, in the Mediterranean and Adriatic are garrisoned by French troops to prevent the importation of British manufactures in neutral vessels:—And the American Consul at Genoa [Mr. Woloston, we believe] had been arrested, and seals put upon his papers! What will those neutral States, who claim the right to trade where, and in what they please, and who have so long contended for the privilege of “free ships making free goods,” say to these repeated infringements of their contended for rights?
A letter from Cottenburg, of the 29th September, mentions, that the unfortunate Louis XVIII is about to seek an asylum in England.
We learn from Marseilles that the Algerines lost in a late action, in which they were defeated by the Tunisians, 30,000 men killed, 4,000 made prisoners, 500 Arabian women, 500 wounded, 26 brass pieces of cannon, 6 mortars, 500 tents, 10,000 mules, 10,000 camels, 10,000 small arms, 1000 quintals of powder, 2,000 shells, 5,000 axes, 20 pair of gold mounted pistols set with diamonds, 20 sabres in the same order, 15 Constantine mares richly apparelled and valued at 50,000 dollars, with 3 chests of money in gold and other coin.
Mr. Abraham Newland has resigned the Cashiership of the Bank of England, after being 60 years in that office. On his resigning the Directors presented him with a service of plate of the value of 1000 guineas.
LEGHORN, SEPT. 1. Last Saturday, the 29th of August, 300 French troops arrived unexpectedly in this town, and took possession of the posts of the harbour. The chief destination of the troops is this, to put an end to the trade which the English hitherto have carried on in Neutral Bottoms. The Russians have certainly surrendered the Seven Islands and Cattaro to the French, to whom they afforded every facility.
PARIS, OCT. 4. Quiz!—Private letters from England announce that there is no hope of conciliation with the U. States of America. In consequence Sir James Craig has sailed with a squadron of one 74, three frigates, and several transports with 3 regiments on board, destined to defend Nova Scotia and Canada against the attack of the Americans, who have already organized a militia of 100,000 men, and lined their coast with formidable batteries!!!

BALTIMORE RIOT.
The following correct and proper remarks upon a late outrage in Baltimore, in which the effigies of Chief Justice Marshall and several others were hanged and burnt, by a lawless, disorderly rabble, are extracted from the N. York American Citizen:
“Mobs, those many headed hydras, which in no one instance can be right, but in all must be wrong, should be discountenanced by every good man; a press should in an especial manner reprehend them. A mob is the same monster whether on this side or on that. Burr & his associate conspirators, are, indeed, detestible, and cannot be too vigilantly watched within the limits of the law. But are mobs—are persons tumultuously assembled in our streets the constitutional judges of a Chief Justice? Where is the empire of our laws; Where order, the element of all law and all good? The civil authority of Baltimore is reprehensible. It should have suppressed, I will not say by an energy beyond the law, but it should have suppressed this vile rout; it should have prevented this stain on our national character. He who cannot hate, with a holy hatred a conspiracy like that of the miscreant Burr, and the persons who were engaged in it, and yet be orderly, and yet be decorous, and yet be respectful to the laws of his country, has no claim to the appellation of a good citizen.”
was owing to the delicacy and prudence of the British Officer to whom they offered themselves, who considering that the vessel was waiting the return of despatches from the American Minister, would not furnish a pretence to the Americans that their vessel had suffered any detriment or delay in her mission, by weakening her crew.”
OCT. 8, 1807. “Copenhagen, Sept. 23, 1807.—The Danish ships have all brass guns on their poop, quarters and main-decks. The stores in the arsenals are beyond calculation; it will take two months to get them on board; the piles of shot are immense. Exclusive of the stores shipped on board the transports, the men of war, both English and Danish, it is said are loaded to the bends.”
“Fifteen sail of the line, besides frigates, are in the roads.—The carpenters are pulling to pieces the ships on the stocks, and shipping the timber. In a few days 150 vessels, with stores, (40 of them with sail cloth) will be under way for England. The whole convoy will exceed 300 sail.”
LONDON, OCT. 10. An article from Keil would have us believe that the Danish Government wished to destroy rather than surrender the fleet, and that it had actually transmitted orders to that effect, which we intercepted.
OF RUSSIA.
We are not able yet to state whether the report transmitted from Memel of Bonaparte having sent a requisition to the Court of Petersburg, to shut its ports against this Country, be true or not.—It is highly probable.—Romanzow, the Russian Prime Minister, is understood to be decidedly hostile to this country:—But the hostility of Menzikow is not participated by the rest of the Russian Nobility and the increasing unpopularity of the Treaty of Tilsit, and of its offspring the Armistice with Turkey, is understood to have greatly strengthened the English party.—Prince Menzikow has been charged with an important mission to this country, and the friends of England consider this as a favourable prognostic.
AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
LONDON, OCT. 8. At the levee yesterday, Mr. Munroe, the American Ambassador, was presented to His Majesty, by the Master of the Ceremonies. His Excellency took leave of His Majesty previous to his departure for America. Mr. Munroe is succeeded, in his embassy, by Mr. Pinckney.—Previous to the levee, Mr. Munroe had an interview with Mr. Canning.
[The above ceremony is generally dispensed with, when Ministers leave the British Court dissatisfied.]
Oct. 9.—Mr. Munroe, the American Minister, had his final interview with Mr. Canning on Wednesday. His departure is in no respect connected with the dispute with America. The final answer of our Government on that subject has already been sent on to Mr. Erskine.
Mr. Munroe is not to embark in the Revenge, but to take passage in the Augusta, from Cowes. The Revenge, is to sail from Plymouth about the 12th October.
FRURTHER.
Oct. 13.—At the Court held the 7th, at St. James's, Mr. Munroe, the Ambassador from the United States, took leave of his Majesty, previous to his departure: he also had an interview with Mr. Canning. We understand that the instructions which he received from his government were of so a nature, that the negotiation could be brought to an issue with him. Dispatches containing the final determination of the British Government have been sent to our Minister in America. The Moniteur contains the treaty for an armistice between Russia and the Ottoman Porte, concluded under the mediation of France, and signed by the respective negotiators, on the 24th August, at the Castle of Slobicia.
A report is current, that on the part of the English, an application has been made to the King of Sweden to deliver up his fleet, which is now rigging and getting ready for sea in Carlscrona, as a deposit to the English. On Langeland, as well as Freemien, several English seamen attempted to effect a landing, but were repulsed.
The Neapolitan papers inform us, that the Ex-King Ferdinand, with all his family have departed from Sicily, in an English frigate. To cover his flight from the inhabitants, it was given out that he was going to place himself at the head of an insurrection which had broken out at Naples.
edarcy against Great Britain, the apology offered by that Court for so unjustifiable an abandonment of a neutrality which His Majesty had never ceased to respect, was founded on its avowed inability to resist the operation of external influence, and the threats of a formidable neighbouring Power. His Majesty could not but compare the degree of influence, which at that time determined the decision of the Court of Denmark, in violation of positive engagements, solemnly contracted but six months before, with the increased operation which France had now the means of giving to the same principle of intimidation, with kingdoms prostrate at her feet, and with the population of nations under her banners.—Nor was the danger less imminent than certain. Already the army destined for the invasion of Holstein was assembling on the violated territory of neutral Hamburg. And, Holstein once occupied the Island of Zealand was at the mercy of France, and the navy of Denmark at her disposal.—It is true, a British force might have found its way into the Baltic and checked for a time the movements of the Danish Marine. But the season was approaching when that precaution would no longer have availed; and when His Majesty's fleet must have retired from that sea, and permitted France, in undisturbed security, to accumulate the means of offence against his Majesty's dominions.—Yet, even under these circumstances, in calling upon Denmark for the satisfaction and security which His Majesty was compelled to require, and in demanding the only pledge by which that security could be rendered effectual—the temporary possession of that fleet, which was the chief inducement to France for forcing Denmark into hostilities with Great Britain;—His Majesty accompanied this demand with the offer of every condition which could tend to reconcile it to the interests and to the feelings of the Court of Denmark.—If Denmark was apprehensive that the surrender of her fleet would be resented by France as an act of connivance, His Majesty had prepared a land force of such formidable magnitude as must have made concession justifiable even in the estimation of France, by rendering resistance altogether unavailing.—His Majesty has long carried on a most unequal contest of scrupulous forbearance against unrelenting violence and oppression. But that forbearance has its bounds. When the design was openly avowed, and already but too far advanced towards its accomplishment, of subjecting the Powers of Europe to one universal usurpation, and of combining them by terror, or by force; in a confederacy against the maritime rights and political existence of this kingdom, it becomes necessary for His Majesty to anticipate the success of a system, not more fatal to his interest than those of the Powers who were destined to be the instruments of its execution.—His Majesty still proffers an amicable arrangement. He is ready to sheath the sword, which he has been most reluctantly compelled to draw. He is anxious to demonstrate to Denmark, and to the world, that, having acted solely upon the sense of what was due to the security of his own dominions, he is now desirous from any other motive, or for any object of advantage or aggrandizement, to carry measures of hostility beyond the limit of the necessity which has produced them. Westminster, Sept. 23, 1807.
Latest Foreign News,

LONDON, OCT. 6, 1807.
A Cornwall paper observes as follows:—“We lately stated, that several seamen of the American States' schooner Revenge, had offered to enlist with an Officer of the British Royal Marines, now on the recruiting service in Truro, but that he had sent them back to the American Commander, with a declaration that he could not countenance deserters. We should be happy to state, that this honourable conduct on the part of a British Officer had produced an equally honourable return from the Americans: but what will the American declaimers upon national honour and political justice say, when we tell them, that Capt. Reed, of the United States schooner Revenge, an officer and a vessel rendered conspicuous by being the bearer of instructions from the American Executive to its Minister in London, on a dispute between the two countries, in which desertion and the encouragement of deserters form so prominent a feature—that this Capt. Reed, so obliged, and so stimulated to honorable feelings, refused to give up one of his crew who had declared himself a deserter from a British regiment? Yet such is the fact. It is a fact too, that several others of the crew of the Revenge, declared themselves British subjects; and that they were not claimed as such, and taken out of the ship,

SONS OF THE PILGRIMS.
MR. ADAMS, TO perpetuate the remembrance of events which have contributed to render a country prosperous and happy, is a debt of gratitude justly due, and most willingly paid by all who duly appreciate the salutary effects derived from the achievement of the event.
Among the different events which have transpired to form new eras in the annals of history, the discovery and settlement of a country, cannot be the least considerable. — I beg leave, therefore, through the medium of the Gazette , to suggest to the descendants of those adventurous individuals, "who braved the dangers of those unknown seas and shores," and commenced the settlement of New-England at Plymouth , the propriety of meeting at some suitable place in this town, to celebrate the anniversary of that memorable epoch, on the evening of the 22nd of December next.
Should the idea take, it is hoped such arrangements will be made as to do honor to the occasion, and future notice given.
Nov. 21. OLD COLONY.
Congress — is in session; and that is the most that is known of the "collected wisdom of the nation."
Mobs and Duels appear to be the order of the day at the Southward. No doubt, we shall soon see the solution of one of Mr. Jefferson's problems, viz. How far error may be tolerated whilst reason is left free to combat it!
Memoranda of honorable decisions.
On the first of October, a duel was fought at New Orleans between Lieutenants, Turner and Rush, of the U. S. navy. — It originated in a trifling dispute at a card table; and terminated in the death of Lieut. Turner — by whom the challenge was given.
On the 2nd inst. another duel was fought in North-Carolina, between Capt. Gordon, of the U. S. frigate Chesapeake, and Mr. M'Conico, of Norfolk. The first shot was exchanged, at eight paces distant, without injury. The second, at six, took effect. — Mr. M'Conico was slightly wounded in the thigh; and capt. Gordon received a wound in the lower extremity of the body, from which there is no probability of his recovery. The letter announcing the event, adds — "the affair will not stop here, unless arrested by the civil authority."
The 24th of Sept. on the west side of the Mississippi, opposite New Orleans, another duel was fought between Capt. J. Newcombe, of the Revenue Cutter Louisiana, and Mr. James Roney, Midshipman in the U. S. navy, in which the former received a dangerous wound.
Melancholy Accident.
On Wednesday, the 11th inst. a Son of Mr. Samuel Bridgham, of Minot, aged 15, in attempting to hoist the gate of a grist-mill, slipped one foot thro' the floor which was made of some pieces of loose boards thrown over some joist, & lay within two inches of the water-wheel. His foot was caught between the joist and buckets, and the wheel continuing to move, drew in his leg, by pieces, breaking and mangling it nearly to the groin. There was but one man in the mill, who ran to his assistance, but was unable to extricate him or stop the wheel, on account of the unfortunate sufferer's being firmly clinched to the gate-pole. Assistance, however, was immediately called, who drew him out, mangled as he was; the calf of his leg being torn down over his foot, and the muscles of his thigh bruised and torn in a manner too shocking to relate. His thigh was amputated as soon as medical aid could be procured. He sustained the operation with fortitude, and continued to manifest a surprising presence of mind, until Saturday morning, when the wound assuming a gangrenous appearance, he became delirious and yielded himself into the icy arms of death in the evening — an awful warning to all who frequent water-works and other dangerous places.

COMMUNICATION.
On the evening of the 18th of Oct. departed this life at her house in Gorham, Mrs. Abigail Thatcher, aged 57, widow of the late Hon. Josiah Thatcher Esq.
To permit so bright an example of female excellence to sink into the silent tomb without notice, would indeed be injustice, not only to the departed, but to the living, who in this day of general dissipation need every stimulus to awaken in them a sense of what is truly estimable.
From the early dawn of reason to the close of life she was of a uniform character; a most dutiful daughter, an affectionate sister, and to her acquaintance, one whose society never failed of giving delight; at an early age she became a wife, and in that character fully answered every expectation of her friends; as a parent she was tenderly affectionate, yet governing with that uniform self command which in return created respect and love.
She was the mother of ten children, seven of whom were followed to the grave by her, the last a youth of great promise, whose close attention to his studies, while preparing for his reception at Bowdoin College, brought on a decline; this stroke though supported with that christian fortitude which distinguished her through life, was too much for her feeble frame to support — she sunk under it; and, in 7 weeks after his death, she followed. Nature had endowed her with a strong mind, which was well cultivated; but above all, as a christian, her example was of inestimable value: from her early years regular in the practice of all her duties — a constant attendant when in health upon the ordinances — she looked back in her last moments upon a well spent life, and with an humble trust for acceptance through her Saviour, resigned her spirit to him who gave it.

The other persons perished with the ship, which sunk immediately. What became of the small boat is not known. The persons were in the long boat 6 days, in which time 7 soldiers died for want — and the persons who survived, subsisted for a time partly on human flesh. At length those who continued alive were preserved by the ship Marquis de Someruelos, of Salem, and Brutus, of Philad. — There were originally 110 persons on board the Alexander. Some gentlemen, in Salem have raised between 2 and 300 dls. for that part of the Alexander's crew (17 men, and 1 woman and her child) saved by the Marquis de Someruelos, capt. Russell.

Admiralty Court, Sept. 20. — This day Sir Wm. Scott proceeded to the adjudication of the following cases: —
Minerva, Caldwell, master. — This vessel was under American colours, laden with various merchandise, and bound from N. York to Amsterdam. The only question was with respect to a quantity of hides, viz. whether they had been bona fide imported into America. — It appeared that they were brought from South-America in another ship and put on board the Minerva, at N. York, without being first landed. The Court held this to be a mere trans-shipment, and not a bona fide importation into America and pronounced the hides to be subject to confiscation, but restored the ship and remainder of the cargo.
Herald, Dowe, master. — This was also an American vessel, laden with various merchandise, bound from Norfolk in America, to Bremen, and was captured on the ground of a breach of blockade. The Court was of opinion, from the documents produced, that the blockade of Bremen must have been known in America, previous to the sailing of the vessel, and therefore condemned the ship and cargo.
We learn that a coaster belonging to Machias, with freight to the amount of 5 or 6000 dollars, was cast away in Winter-Harbor in the late storm.
