Poetry.
The following lines from the Port Folio con- vey those sentiments of affection and mo- rality which cannot fail to delight and in- struct every reader whose mind is in uni- son with the principles of virtue and re- ligion.
A FAMILY PICTURE.
SEEK not in public places for a wife, Be not deluded by the charms of sight; Retirement only yields the friend for life, Who shares your grief and doubtless your delight.
When orient rays within your curtains peep, And on her roseate face enliv'ning play, What joy to view her rous'd from peaceful sleep, Unfold her eyes on you and welcome day.
What joy! to tend the plants her hand has rear'd, To trace their foliage and their various hues, Some by affecting incidents endear'd— Some by distinction of the moral muse.
What joy! to see your children gambol wild, Or hear them prattle with remarks acute, To blend instruction with amusement mild, "And teach the young idea how to shoot."
What joy! at evening, daily duties done, To saunter with your love to Prospect Hill, And catch the glories of the setting sun, Till wand'ring "contemplation has her fill."
Now as you homeward bend your musing way, Whilst fades the glimmering landscape on the sight, What joy! to hear her quote the pensive Gray, Or name some fav'rite author for the night.
What joy! that during day she leisure found To give industrious poverty relief; To pour her balm into afflictions wound, To wipe the tear from furrow'd cheeks of grief.
Such are the joys a rural wife bestows, Each hour displaying something to ad- mire, But most her goodness with affection flows, Should you (her first, last thought) her aid require.
See her, when sickness lays you faint in bed, Gently remove the candle's painful glare, And cautious walk with softly stealing tread Your medicine or nutrition to prepare.
Her soothing accents charm away your pains, Her gay encouragement your fears be- guiles; And though her mind a widow's thoughts sustains, Her looks beam confidence with cheering smiles.
All day, all night, her eyelids never close, But seated silent, anxious by your side; How every breath is watch'd if chance you doze, How quick, if restless, every want's sup- plied.
When pitying heaven concedes her secret prayer, And threatening death withdraws his brandish'd dart, A tender sense of her assiduous care. More than her virgin charms, shall win your heart.
Now view her with her group of pledges dear, When on your pillow rais'd they round your stand; Each glist'ning eye full of a rapturous tear They press with glowing lips your with- er'd hand.
Now "gathering up her young," lest you should feel O'erpower'd with joy, to nursery they move, And there by her example taught to kneel, Uplift their little hands in grateful love.
Song, music, dancing, and the flowing bowl, Nay e'en the youthful, warm, enamord kiss Cannot so deeply interest the soul, As this sweet scene of fond domestic bliss.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
In the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seven.
AN ACT in addition to an act, entitled, "an act establishing Courts of Gen- eral Sessions of the Peace, passed the third day of July, in the year of our Lord, seventeen hundred and eighty two."

in after mentioned, and no more, for the sev- eral counties in the Commonwealth, to be designated and appointed by the Governor, with the advice of Council, who shall issue commissions to them for that purpose accor- dingly, instead of the same being held by the justices of the peace of each county; and it shall be the duty of the justices ap- pointed as aforesaid, to meet in their several counties, at the several times and places that now are, or hereafter may be established by law for the holding of the several Courts of the General Sessions of the Peace.

Provided always, that the justices to be appointed and designated as aforesaid, shall not be appointed, or serve upon any committee for laying out, altering or discon- tinuing any road or highway.
Sec. 4. Be it further enacted, That the justices appointed as aforesaid, and for the purposes aforesaid, shall receive for their service in said Court three dollars by the day each, during their actual attendance on said Courts; and for their travel to the said Courts, the sum of two dollars for every ten miles travel; and in that proportion for a longer or shorter distance, to be paid out of the county treasury.
Sec. 5. Be it further enacted, That the said justices to be appointed as aforesaid, shall also have power to receive, examine, allow, and order to be paid out of the county treas- ury, any account, or so much thereof as may to them appear reasonable, for services done in any prosecution for any criminal of- fence, committed or prosecuted in any of said counties, where provision is not already made by law for the payment of any such services.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That whenever it shall happen that there is not a majority of said justices assembled, at the time for holding the said Court, any one, or more of said justices, shall have power to adjourn said Court, until a quorum shall be assembled.

Miscellany.
THE FEMALE PARLIAMENT.
Too long have the male sex usurped to them- selves the title of Lords of the creation. Enact- ed laws and enforced statutes at large without consulting or considering woman worthy of being their co-adjudicators. Parliaments after parliaments have been called without their having the least representation, except by the external appearance of macaroni mem- bers for the rotten boroughs. Thus situated, a body of free born English women, who have as much of the good and welfare of the nation at heart as either Lord S or Lord N—or, Lord Any-body or Lord Nobody, have resolved to erect a par- liament of their own, and represent them- selves in the character of real women.
The house having resolved into a Com- mittee of supplies and ways and means, (for what signify the supplies without the ways and means?) Lady Long-much took the chair; Mrs. Would be rose and spoke to the following purport:—I rise upon this oc- casion to express my sentiments at this very alarming crisis—we are now met in this committee to consider of ways and means to raise the necessary supplies of husbands throughout the kingdom—at a time when so many brave officers and effective men are employed abroad in defence of their Coun- try, it behoves us to look at home and take such measures and resolutions as may seem meet to prevent a stagnation of the rising generation. I am sorry to say, that there is not only great defalcation in the list of Staff Officers at home but there is so many half pay widows upon the English as well as the Irish establishments, as seems to threaten a general depopulation throughout these realms. It therefore behoves every mem- ber within these walls to exercise her ut- most abilities, and throw out such hints as may in the most eligible manner tend to re- move the evil. I shall therefore with great submission to the chair as we are now upon this important business, propose to the com- mittee the following resolutions:—that a tax of four shillings in the pound be impos- ed on the bachelors upwards of 25 years of age, in proportion to their estates, revenues or incomes; that bachelors turned of 45 years shall moreover make a will and bequeath one half of their property upon their demise, or they themselves can be of no further use whilst living, for the support of distressed
maidens, against their will, in order to ena- ble them to obtain husbands suitable to their rank and pretensions; otherwise the said bachelors are to be deemed to all intents and purposes old maids, and condemned ac- cordingly, to lead apes in hell; that one million enchanting smiles, with a propor- tionate number of captivating Ogles be immediately issued for the service of the ladies, during the current year;—that 900,000 languishing looks be granted out of the sinking fund of beauty, to make good disappointments and deficiencies incurred last year;—that bewitching kisses bearing 3 and an half per cent be consolidated with pouting lips, and made transferable in the currency of rapture at the exchequer of bliss;—that 600,000 husbands be raised by way of lottery, with an agreeable doteur to the subscribers. The prizes to be paid im- mediately upon drawing, without any de- duction;—that one million necessary blushes and occasional sighs be issued impedi- ately upon the drawing of the lottery;—that all the artillery of love be properly provided, from cupid's board of ordinance under the sign manual of the Cyprian Queen.— lon. p.
The following story, says a London pa- per, is in circulation, and may be true;— About two years and an half ago, General Bennigsen dined at Wilna with Doctor Franck, a celebrated physician residing in that city. The conversation having turned upon the abilities of Bonaparte, General Bennigsen observed that he had attentively studied his different campaigns that he had traced that Gen. through the plans of all his battles, and it appeared to him they were generally almost the same. "He copies himself too much," said Bennigsen; "and were I ever to command against him, I flatter myself (without incurring the im- putation of vanity) that I should be able to con- tend with him. It is a circumstance which can never take place," said he, "I shall never be in that situation; but I feel a con- viction that I should be able to defeat this terrible antagonist."
Extract from the Speech of his Excellency John Langdon, to the N. Hampshire Legis- lature.
"As vice and immorality are a reproach to any people, and at present greatly prevail, and give us the highest reason to fear divine displeasure, it becomes us as a government to take every prudent measure for their sup- pression. The breach of the sabbath, pro- fane cursing and swearing, and imbrication, must be observed by every one. It appears to me that it would be well to revise the laws touching these crimes, and enjoin it as a duty on all town officers to make com- plaints to magistrates against persons com- mitting these offences, that the whole some laws of the state may be better executed."
ANECDOE.
A certain high-handed military-man, was during the revolutionary war, dispatched by his commanding officer with the intelligence of some signal success to congress; but al- though this service was the most honorable as well as the most active in which he had ever been employed, the General, then Ma- jor W——, loitered so long upon the road that the news had become completely stale, and the messenger entirely forgotten, before he made his appearance at the seat of gov- ernment. Upon the usual motion being made in Congress to compliment the bearer of the dispatches with a Sword, the late Doctor Witherspoon strenuously oppo- sed, exclaiming, in his Scottish dialect, "I think ye had better gi' the young man a pair of SPURRS."
It is calculated that the Trial of Col. Burr, will occupy the time of the court for about two months; and that the expenses, which are to be paid out of the national treasury, will not be short of 200,000 dollars. A small sum however, in comparison to the immense advantages of securing the dignity of gov- ernment—and bringing to Justice, a dangerous political calpuit.— Bost. Gaz.
Capt. Thurlo, arrived on Sunday from the Straits, lost from Algiers, where he had been carried in by a Spanish gun boat, informs, that the Spaniards seize on every American vessel they fall in with, and send them into that port for trial. The slightest informality of papers, or circumstances creating the least jealousy or suspicion, of irregular trade, are sufficient causes for condemnation.— B. & H.
At a court of Oyer and terminer held in the city of New-York a few weeks since, the following per- sons were convicted, and received the sentences affixed to their names:—
William C. Baker, Thomas Briggs, Samuel Webbler, George R. Thoulton, and Robert Bordwell, convicted of forging bank notes of the denomination of ten dollars on the United States Bank, and sentenced to be con- fined in the State Prison during life at hard labour.
Alexander McDonald, convicted of forging on the back of a bill of exchange the in- torsement of William Griffith, was sentenced to be confined in the State Prison at hard labour for life.
Peter Rameler, convicted of forging the check of Robert Robinson, on the Merchants' Bank, sentenced to be confined in the State prison at hard labour for life.
Edward Sealy, convicted of forging a check of Henry G. Livingston, on the Manhattan Bank, sentenced to be confined in the State prison at hard labour for life.
William H. Tenney, convicted of forging a check of David Lyding on the United States Bank, sentenced as above.
John Pepperhill, convicted of a burglary in breaking open the house of John Lawler on the night of the 22d January, last, and taking property therefrom, sentenced to be confined in the State Prison at hard labour for life.

BRITISH OUTRAGE.
We give the public, (says Mr. Jefferson's official paper) the particulars of the following outrage on the American flag under the influence of feelings, which we are certain, are in unison with those entertained universally by our fellow-citizens; feelings, which cannot, which ought not to be suppressed. We know not, indeed, that this savage outrage has a precedent in naval annals.
On Monday last, the U. S. frigate Chesapeake, of 38 guns left the Capes, where there lay at anchor a British squadron, consisting of three two-deckers and one frigate of 38 guns. As she passed this squadron, without molesting one of the two-deckers, the Leopard, put off, and went to sea before the Chesapeake. When the latter came up with the Leopard, at the distance of about three leagues from the squadron, her commander, captain Humphries, hailed the Chesapeake, and said he had a dispatch to deliver from the British commander in chief, (meaning Admiral Bickley) on the American station. Commodore Barron, supposing it was a dispatch for Europe, gave too, when captain Humphries sent on board of her a letter, covering an order of Admiral Bickley, to take from the Chesapeake three men, alleged to be deserters from the Medusa's frigate, and designating them by name. Commodore Barron replied by letter that no such men, as named in Admiral Bickley's order, were on board, and added that his crew could not be mustered for examination by any other officers than his own. This answer was couched in terms of politeness. It was no sooner received than a broadside was discharged from the Leopard. The crew of the Chesapeake were at this time not at quarters, considering the Leopard a friend, and Commodore Barron not contemplating the possibility of danger so immediately after leaving the Capes. No other attempt was therefore made to fight her than the discharge of a few straggling guns, while the Leopard repeated three or four more broadsides; when the Chesapeake struck her colors, after having three men killed and eighteen wounded. A boat was then put off from the Leopard with an officer who demanded four men. Commodore Barron said he considered the Chesapeake as a prize to the Leopard; the Captain of which vessel said, no that his orders were to take out the men, which having executed, he had nothing further to do with her. Thus dismissed, she returned to Hampton Roads, where she now lies. She received in her hull twenty-two round shot, her foremast and mainmast were destroyed, her mizen mast greatly injured, and her standing rigging and sails very much cut.
Of the wounded eight are considered dangerous, and two have lost an arm. Commodore Barron suffered a contusion, received from a spunter, which is not serious. No other officer is wounded, excepting midshipman Broom, and he but slightly.
Nothing evinces in more striking colors the insolence of Captain Humphries, than his immediate return, after this outrage, to the Capes, where he now lies with the other ships of the squadron.
Letters from the District of Columbia, (says the editors of the Boston Gazette) inform us, that several seamen deserted from the Leopard (or Medusa, no matter which) and entered on board the U. S. frigate Chesapeake; the Commander of the Leopard demanded them, and Com. Barron, refused to restore them; hence the unhappy encounter.
By the long established laws of G. E. no British born subject can expatriate himself once; a subject, always so. Hence, although, after the residence of a certain number of years in this country, they may become American citizens, they are not under our protection when out of our jurisdiction; but are liable to be impressed, or retaken after escape. It is presumed that one half our merchantmen, and the vessels of our little navy, are manned by British subjects. While England is fighting the battles of the world, it cannot but be with the utmost displeasure she beholds her subjects employed in our trade, when so much wanted by herself; and when she sees that greater part of them have protestations as natural or adopted citizens of the U. S. though in truth they are neither . Yet, if they were adopted citizens , they are liable to impressment, when out of our jurisdiction. But, if the information in this case be correct, that these men had escaped from the Leopard, and found a sanctuary in the U. S. frigate; that they were demanded, and refused; these circumstances will operate greatly in vindication of the conduct of the British commander.
It is well recollected, that when, in
the house of Representatives several of the democratic members urged the doctrine that our flag should protect the seamen, and that the onus probandi should be with the British; that if they claimed a seaman from us, they should prove him a British subject, and it should not be our duty to prove him otherwise; Mr. Smilie, whose democratic character, and whose hatred of the British, are well known, had the honesty to tell the Sloans and Crowninshields of the House, that it would amount exactly to a declaration of war; that these principles had ever been, and ever would be maintained by the English.—The House relinquished the idea; but we are informed, that the want of such a stipulation in the British treaty was a principal cause of its having been returned; if it be a sine qua non , all expectation of any treaty with G. B. is idle.
From the Norfolk Herald of June 25.
On Tuesday the United States frigate Chesapeake arrived in Hampton Roads, without colours and the officers without arms, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon the wounded men arrived in town, and were immediately sent to the Marine Hospital.

Trial of Col. Burr.
The following is the speech of Mr. Botts, (Counsellor for col. Burr) on the subject, whether Mr. Wilie, (formerly Secretary to col. B.) should be compelled to give evidence which would implicate himself:
"It has been again strongly insinuated, that Wilie's claim to the privilege of not answering, presupposes his guilt.
Has Wilie no reason to seek exemption from the examination, but such as may grow out of a consciousness of guilt?
The attorney for the U. S. sees every object connected with col. Burr, through a jaundiced medium; with him, "trifles light as air are confirmations strong as proofs from holy writ."
How far he might be disposed to involve this young man upon a confession of copying a paper in cypher, though of harmless import, I am not prepared to say. But let Wilie only commit himself so far, and then be carried by his business to that poor, unfortunate, outlawed, enslaved province of Louisiana, and abundant cause will be furnished for throwing him into a shop's hold, where he may be heard of no more; or he may have the better fortune of transportation to Washington for trial.
The danger apprehended grows out of no visionary estimate. We have not arrived at that point of our enquiry, which will make the occasion of arousing the indignation of our country apt. We shall very soon, sir, give you an awful impression of the miseries of that ill-fated territory, under the total surrender of the civil authority to military guidance.
I am driven prematurely to glance at one outrage, which may serve as a sample of the wretched state in which that section of our dependencies is. A citizen of the U. S. now within the hearing of my voice, in a time of profound peace, was seized in N. Orleans, and, without being charged with any offence, but merely on suspicion that he could give evidence against col. Burr, in this court, to which place he was willing to come, he was committed to prison without bail or man-prize thrown into a stinking room with the common felons and negroes confined there, and only taken out at last to be transported to Richmond in custody. He was not even permitted to go to his lodgings to get a shirt; but like a malefactor he was forced to yield, in the humbleness of submission, to the will of his masters. Our revolutionary heroes were provoked to independence in part, by the wrongs of transporting American criminals for trial to England; but at this time, we are content with such a transportation, under circumstances of enormity, of one guilty of nothing but a suspected capacity to be a witness! Shall we not be wary how we furnish a pretext against this stranger now called to implicate himself, in what are called the treasons and misdemeanors of Col. Burr, when without this he has suffered, though in a less degree than the abused individual from Orleans.
But it has been remarked, that my client and his council had taken much interest in his privilege. We all felt interested in saving this inoffensive foreigner from the vengeance of illegal power. Col. Burr, particularly from the circumstance of having him in his service, is solicitous that he alone should feel the pressure of unjust suspicion and prosecution.
But how did this letter come here? There is an exceeding business betrayed by that post mark in the mode of its acquisition.—[Mr. Hay said that there was no post mark] The "25" on the back, is the only post mark of many of the country post-offices. How came that mark there? Will the gentleman say how the paper was acquired; if the post office was robbed, the possession of the paper was gained feloniously. The constitution has provided against the seizure of papers and the act of congress has fixed the offence of stealing from the post offices. It is impossible that this most detestable vice of the most infamous of European courts can have been patronized by the government. By a familiarity of our rulers with
such hateful practices, the habits of the people would be demoralized: I beg the opposed council to join me in arraigning an act which will disgrace all who had an agency in it. It must be a dreadful state of society in which such an offence should be made the means of assisting to prove another. The principal of this government, if here, would join in the denunciation. If it behoves the government to suppress a paper thus unconstitutionally, clandestinely and illegally obtained, if they cannot use the end without sanctifying the means—if they in the noble and generous spirit of a Chatham ministry would declaim every impure expedient, their able representatives here would do well not to disgrace their fingers with its touch.
Now for the abstract question of law: The question put to Wilie is "do you understand that the original of this letter was written by Col. Burr?" (Mr. McRae—No: that is not the question last put. The present question is, "do you understand that part of the letter which is in cypher?" Very well. The gentlemen charge that this letter contains treasonable matter (Mr. Hay. No such things.) Then they must admit that it contains no treasonable matter—Hence the letter is irrelevant and forms no object for discussion.
The rule is, that you shall not make the witness answer a question which may tend to implicate him in moral or legal turpitude. The witness himself must be the judge how far his answer may affect him—otherwise if he were obliged to answer for the court to judge of its tendency, he would be surrendering his protection in the means of securing it. If the answer should tend to make up a single link in the chain of testimony necessary to involve him in suspicion, he has a right to decline the answer. The link cannot be perceived by the judge to belong to the chain without an exposure of every other part of it. The question culled from the state trials was "what profession are you of?" The witness was a Roman Catholic priest and the answer would have subjected him to penalties. The court could not know what the answer would be or that it would affect the witness; but the witness knew that it would. His right therefore to decline the answer, if he thought it would implicate him, was sustained. What question could be on its face more harmless than the one resisted by that witness?
If the present question is answered others must be put, which the witness cannot answer. His reason, or how he came to understand that part of the letter which is in cypher, ought to be put. If the one announced is, Gilb. L. of Ev. 134. Could he answer the second question and shall he tell half the truth and have his lips closed as to the other half? It were better that he should tell the whole though it were to involve him in the prosecution with col. Burr.
I know nothing of the contents of this letter. It may have been written for aught I know, by some young amorous intriguer to his mistress.
Before I sit down I will beg leave of the gentlemen, when they offer a paper for any purpose, to lodge it with the clerk. We do not wish again to press upon the court to rule such a measure without necessity, but heretofore we have been prevented from getting a sight of any paper until the moment of discussion, and then not without difficulty.
The democratic prints are still dimming in our ears that the federalists are at the bottom of Burr's treason: that the federalists of every quarter are arrayed in defence of a culprit, &c. &c. This senseless cant will do no injury; for it is not believed either by those who say it, or by those to whom it is said. It is well known that the federalists have no sympathies for Aaron Burr. They have not forgotten that the democrats placed him exactly on a par with Jefferson in an election for president and vice-president. This is enough. It is true that many of the federalists thought that as the democrats had forced upon us the necessity of taking one or the other for president, the election of Burr would be the less of two great evils; and if we may judge from the prostration which has since happened to the constitution, and to the rights and liberties of the citizens under the administration of Jefferson, we have a right to believe that they were not mistaken. We repeat therefore, that the federalists are not arrayed in defence of Aaron Burr. We care not, as it respects him, how he settles the affair with his old friends with whom he formerly conspired to demoralize the people of the United States, and introduce into their government all the enormities of demoralick misrule under which honest men are now smarting. We are guilty, however, of feeling some attachment to a government of laws in preference to a government of demoralick despots, and would fain array ourselves in defence of those few principles of freedom and rights which remain unsubverted. Those who read the speech of Mr. Botts, in this day's Gazette, will perceive the only ground on which the federalists take any interest in this affair. They are not willing for the sake of getting rid of such a man as Aaron Burr, to surrender their rights and liberties to Mr. Jefferson and his army; to render themselves liable to military seizure, imprisonment, and transportation, at the pleasure of a democratic despot, for no other crime than that of being capable of testifying to the wickedness of a demorout out of favor. For Burr we care not. But against such horrible acts of tyranny and persecution, we will continue to raise our voice, while the bayonet still remains at a distance from us. On its nearer approach we may, perhaps, be awed into submission and silence.

FROM RICHMOND—JUNE 25.
"Yesterday the Grand Jury found two bills against Col. Burr, one for HIGH TREASON, and one for misdemeanor; there were also two found against Blennerhasset (an Irishman) of the same nature.—Burr could not be permitted to bail, and for the first time in his life, slept in a prison.
MORE INDICTMENTS.
"This day the Grand Jury have presented five others as guilty of HIGH TREASON, viz. General Jonathan Dayton, of New-Jersey; John Smith,
one of the Senators from Ohio; General Israel Smith, of New-York, or Vermont; Colonel Comfort Tyler, of New-York, and Davis Floyd, of the Indiana Territory. This has been the result of the proceedings this day. You must not presume that Burr is guilty because the Grand Jury have found a bill against him; but recollect that the evidence which was examined was only such as would go to criminate, and selected by the Attorney of the United States. On the trial there will be evidence brought forward for Col. Burr; and it will go to disprove that which was given before the Grand Jury.
BOSTON, JULY 3.
From Washington—June 27.
"A cabinet council met on Thursday evening, immediately after the receipt of the intelligence of the affair of the Chesapeake, and again yesterday morning. The result of their deliberations has not yet transpired. It is however said, that capt. Decatur, who is now at Richmond, has been ordered to take command of the Chesapeake—from which it may be inferred that the conduct of commodore Barron will be enquired into. It was likewise rumored yesterday evening, that Congress would be immediately convened.
The Secretaries of War, and of the Treasury are absent.
Our Baltimore correspondent, under the date of Saturday noon, writes to us as follows:—"A court of enquiry has been ordered upon the conduct of Com. Barron. Orders have gone to the navy department, giving the command of the Chesapeake to capt. Decatur. The Chesapeake is lying in Hampton Roads without colours.—[N. York Mer. Adv.]
The Secretary of the navy has issued circulars to all the Naval Officers, summoning them to repair immediately to Norfolk.—[N. Y. Gaz.]
[It is supposed the naval officers are called together to hold the court of inquiry.]
Cabinet Council —A Cabinet Council is convened by the President. Mr. Gallatin, to whom an Executive dispatch has been sent, returned from this City to Washington on Friday last. (American Citizen)
Sch. Rising States , Newcomb, arrived at New-York, from Norfolk—on the 26th ult. off Chinchoague, heard a very heavy cannonade from the S. E.—This was four days after the Chesapeake was attacked.
Portland,
Monday, July 6, 1807.
American Independence.
THE Anniversary of this important event, so justly dear to every American, was celebrated by the citizens of Portland, in a superior style.
A few minutes after 12 o'clock, at night, a federal salute was fired by the Portland Artillery; and the dawn of day was hailed by the ringing of bells and discharge of cannon.
At 12 o'clock the Federal Republicans who had subscribed for a dinner assembled at Washington Hall; after partaking of some refreshment, the company proceeded in the following order of procession:—
The President and Orator of the day, Committee of arrangements, Representatives of the Town, Military Officers in their uniform, Citizens and Strangers, Young Federal Republicans,
Escorted by the Artillery Company, commanded by Capt. Hopkins, to the Rev. Mr. Kellogg's Meeting-House, where, after the performance of appropriate music, a correct and ingenious Oration was pronounced by EZEKIEL WHITMAN, Esq. which was received with applause by a numerous and respectable audience.
The procession then returned to Washington Hall, where the company sat down to a sumptuous Dinner provided by Mr. Daniel Cobb.
The Hon. Woodbury Storer, officiated as President, and Ebenezer Mayo, Esq. as Vice-President.
After the removal of the cloth, the following Toasts were drank under the discharge of Cannon.

VOLUNTEERS.
By the President —The Crater of the Day. [The following Toast was given by the President, at Washington-Hall, and communicated by a committee, to the Young Federal Republicans at Columbia-Hall.]
The Young Federal Republicans of the town of Portland —May their zeal in the service of their country increase with their years; and may they enjoy the satisfaction of transmitting to their posterity, the blessings of liberty, as secured by our excellent Constitution.
[On the reception of which, the President of the company at Columbia-Hall, gave the following Toast, which was communicated by a committee, to the company at Washington-Hall, where it was drank with applause.]
The Senior Federal Republicans of the town of Portland —May we continue to adhere to their excellent political principles, and may they enjoy "the satisfaction of knowing that their posterity will maintain the blessings of freedom, as secured by our excellent Constitution."
By the Vice-President —Thomas Jefferson—May he exchange his Philosophy for Wisdom, his Cunning for Integrity, and his Cowardice for Bravery.

Our National Honor —Sunk to the lowest point of degradation by weakness & pusillanimity of a Cringing, Cowardly Administration; may the people soon rouse from their slumbers, and resume the character of Free, Sovereign and Independent Americans.
Our Republican brethren of the General —May they awake from their delusion, and say "Behold! it was a dream."
The Citizens of the town of Portland —May they all embrace the principles of the Washingtonian School, and be of "one mind and one heart."
The Hall was beautifully decorated, and ornamented with the Portrait of Washington, in the attitude of delivering his farewell address to the citizens of the United States and the Blessings of Adams, Pluckney and Hamilton.
It is a subject of much solicitation to reflect that no accident occurred to mar the felicitous of the day. One circumstance is not unworthy of notice: the escorts of the respective processions, in going to and returning from the Meeting-houses, came abreast of each other, which was purely accidental; the usual military salutes were exchanged, and the citizens in the different processions noticed each other in a friendly manner.
The Mechanic Blues, (a new uniform company of Infantry) made their first public appearance. In the afternoon this company, after firing a salute, was dismissed in front of Washington Hall, to which the officers were invited, and their visit noticed by the following toast from the Maj. of the Artillery:—
The Officers and Soldiers of the Portland Mechanic Blues —Their patriotism is worthy of imitation; when their country calls, may they be ready to defend its rights and independence.
By capt. Nichols —May the citizens of Portland, ever celebrate the independence their sires fought for.
The Democratic Citizens celebrated the day by a procession and public dinner; an Oration was delivered by D. W. Lincoln, Esq.
A number of Young Federal Republicans celebrated the day; they joined the procession from Washington Hall, and proceeded to the Meeting House, preceded by their Committee of Arrangements; after the exercises were performed they returned to Columbia Hall, partook of an excellent dinner, provided by Mr. Grafton, and drank the following toasts:

1. American Independence —Gained by the blood of Patriots and the blood of Heroes; may it descend to posterity, with all its glories, untarnished. arnished. 2. The Rights and Wrongs of the Revolution —May the hearts of their countrymen be the repository of their worth.  3. His name —An high honor to our nation—Posterity will receive it with applause; the smiling infant shall be taught to speak it—the youth, proud of the honor will imitate his virtues—and the old men revere his wisdom.  4. John Adams —The advocate of our national honor—may the evening of his life be as peaceful and happy, as his services for his country have been great and important.  5. Caleb Strown —The People's Real Friend and Faithful Servant—May Federal Republicans never forget his worth.  6. His Excellency Thomas Jefferson —The finger of truth writes VEREL upon his forehead—may we "never look upon his like again."  7. John Sullivan, Esq.  8. The Federal Constitution —The ark of our political safety—may the Real Friends of the People preserve it till the "full tide of democratic experiments" has ceased.  9. The National Government —May the speedy revival of correct principles (in our national councils) deprive it of its reputation of weakness.  10. Our Country —Whose flag was once respected by the most powerful nations, but now insulted, even on our own waters—may federal principles soon restore it to its former glory.  11. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts  12. The Judiciary of Massachusetts —At present respectable and independent—never may "faction's pestilent worm" pollute it.  13. The District of Maine —Heaven grant that her political principles have reached meridian height: may they decline rapidly, and set to rise no more.  14. The Clergy —May they teach and practice the principles of "pure and undefiled religion," and by their worthy example impress on the minds of men, the importance of being what they would wish to be thought to be.  15. Fortifications —Upon the validity of which we should depend, at least, for protection from insulting enemies—May they be repaired and shield us more effectually than "proclamations."  16. The Town of Portland —may it increase in opulence, and may the citizens select, in future, good men for its officers.  17. The School of Washington —May its young pupils always cherish the sound maxims, and follow the fair copy of its Immortal Preceptor—and despise the weak slips of modern pedants.  The perfect order and propriety that marked the proceedings of this company during the day, will ever reflect honor on their characters, and the principles they profess.  The enjoyments of the day were succeeded by a brilliant display of Fire-works on Fort-Hill, in the evening; which reflected much honor on the gentlemen who prepared them.
MR. ADAMS, THE following list of Toasts, are copied verbatim et litteratim from the manuscript copy of the Author, who, for the glory of democracy be it said, is one of the learned and enlightened Representatives of Falmouth:—  1 This Day 52 year of american independence past old massachusetts in its happy return to first principles  2 the Citizens of the united States instructed by virtue may They never be Wonten in any love of Country  3 Thomas Jefferson President of the united States may his former Services and Present labours raise a lasting monument in the heart of Every True american  4 the Vice President may his saith full Services insure to him Due Honor  5 the federal Government sounded on the United States Principles may it never sail to amuse the People's most sanguine Expectation  6 the Memorial Washington may his great Emminent Precepts and Counsels be a lasting monument to guide the american People to this True Interest  7 at the name of a Hancock, Adams and Warren were the Son of Columbia seal an honest Pledge  8 hands as Departments may their Ever-happiness Consiste in faithful Service to their Country  9 the Executive as the Common Wealth may their opposers & Their future Services make manifest the Wisdom as their Election  10 the militia may they Ever Possess the Patriotism as our glorious Revolution & shown indignantly on any attempt to make a Different Interest as the officers from the civilians the Privits  11 agriculture the most useful so may it be the most honorable Employment as our Citizens  12 Commerce Directed by honest Principles & Proper handmaid to agriculture  13 the arts and manufactory may they Receive Proper encouragement from the united States  14 the Town of Falmouth may her Republican Citizens Stand sirme in their Political saith  15 the Clergy may they only be Respected that adhere to the Dictates of their holy Lord & master  16 the District as main in Due time may become a bright Star in the Constellation of the american States  17 the same may they never be enslaved by Dispts nor oppressed by Tyrannical usurpation
SERIOUS AFFAIR. THE late outrage committed on the U. S. frigate Chesapeake, by a British ship of war, has excited much public attention in every part of the country; but it is not for us at present to pronounce on the merits of this unhappy affair. If any thing can make an impression on the spirit of the country, it is the repeated attacks made, not only on the flag of the U. S. but also on the lives of its citizens. He that does not feel a proper degree of resentment and indignation at these National Insults, is no American. It is not Newspaper rant nor the issuing an army of presidential proclamations that will ever afford any thing like a remedy in these cases.
It is the strong arm of government, furnished with those means the recourse of the country would warrant must be employed, in order that injuries and wrongs may be repelled with effect: otherwise our boasted independence is only a name that may serve to amuse boys & those who never reflect.  No doubt every democratic press will teem with inflammatory declamation; but it will be congenial with the spirit of candor and moderation to wait for the government's statement of all the attending circumstances, than to indulge in abuse and invective against the whole British nation for the act of an individual.  Let the government adopt wise and energetic measures and a doubt cannot exist but that one feeling and sentiment will animate the whole American people.
MASONIC. The Festival of St. John the Baptist, was celebrated at Bath, by the UNITED and SOLOMON LODGES. A joint procession of the two Lodges, consisting of upwards of seventy brethren, was formed at half past eleven, and moved to the South Meeting-house, where an elegant discourse prepared at very short notice, was delivered by the Rev. Wm. York, and appropriate prayers were made by the Rev. Mr. Ellis, and Mr. Clark, of Topsham, who attended by special invitation with United Lodge.  After the public services, the Brethren, and Clergymen, with other Gentlemen, invited, returned to Mason's-hall and partook of an excellent dinner prepared on the occasion. The Rev. Mr. Lyman, of this town, was also invited to attend, but was detained by his own ill health, and sickness in his family.  The Sermon we understand is to be published at the request of the two Lodges. Bath, June 25.
The Norfolk Herald in commenting on the affair between the Leopold and the Chesapeake informs, that in march last the Halifax Sloop of war, commanded by Lord Townshend, was lying in Hampton Roads, and one of her boats with four men and a petty officer was sent on some duty. Being out of the reach of the guns of the Halifax, or being observed, the men rose upon the officer, and once threatened to throw him overboard, this however they did not do, but pulled for the shore, which they reached and proceeded to this place where they entered with an officer then engaged in the enlistment of men for the Chesapeake. A formal demand was made to have them delivered up. The civil authority refused to interfere, and the officer who had enlisted them did not think himself authorised to deliver them without orders from his superiors. The case was represented we believe at Washington. The men were not delivered up, and were believed to be on board the Chesapeake. We are confident that a representation of the case was made to the British government, whose orders we apprehend were to take the men wherever they were to be found. Our readers will be informed that the Leopold arrived here only a few days since, and brought the orders of the Admiral at Halifax to take the men at all events and under any circumstances.
Much interesting matter prepared for this day's Gazette, is unavoidably omitted, to make room for the 4th of July proceedings.

For sale by Daniel Johnson, AT THE PORTLAND BOOKSTORE, Sentiments on Resignation, By the Rev. ROSWELL MESSINGER, of York. THE following general character of the work is given by the Rev. Dr. HEMENWAY:— "The Sentiments on Resignation , are, like the celebrated Night Thoughts , effusions of a heart exercised with sore affliction. The author, soon after his settlement in the gospel ministry, with agreeable prospects of usefulness and comfort, had his prospects darkened by distressing calamities, which issued at length in a total privation of his light. On this occasion his mind was turned, with peculiar attention, to the great duty of Resignation to the will of God. Finding light arising upon him in darkness from his meditations on this subject, benevolence prompted a desire that others might partake with him, in the instruction and consolation he had found in time of need. With this view he has, notwithstanding the obvious difficulties and disadvantages he must have been under, in being obliged to make use of borrowed pens, offered his thoughts to the consideration of the public. In the perusal of the sentiments here exhibited, we doubt not but that the pious and devout christian will find much agreeable entertainment, with seasonable edifying instruction. If any should think the language more highly ornamented with the flowers and figures of rhetoric, than is suited to the understanding of the lower class of readers, it should also be considered that persons of a more elegant taste have as much need as any to exercise and cultivate "Sentiments of Resignation," and should therefore be furnished with instructions on the subject in a manner, suited, by striking the fancy, to engage the attention and touch the heart. Upon the whole, whatever defects or inadvertencies a critical eye may discover, in this performance, we think they are less and fewer than one would have expected, when the circumstances above mentioned are considered; and that the work will do the author honor, and we trust will be extensively useful."

To the Honorable the Justices of the Court of General Sessions of the Peace, begun and held at Paris, within and for the County of Oxford, on the Second Tuesday of May, A. D. 1807. THE Petition of the subscribers, inhabitants of the town of Livermore, Jay, Dixfield, and Plantations Number four, Number five, Number three and Number six, all in said County, humbly shew—that your Petitioners suffer much inconvenience occasioned by the want of a direct road to Hallowell, in the county of Kennebec, being now necessitated to travel on a road very circuitous over bad and unsuitable lands, for that purpose; and they humbly conceive that the lands in adirection from Bowleys Mills, in said number five, through said number four, Dixfield, Jay, and Livermore, to the town line of Fayette, in said county of Kennebec, near Jolly Brook (so called) are with ease, capable of being made a good road, and the same when made, will connect a county road leading directly to said Hallowell, and thus will much diminish the distance which your Petitioners are now obliged to travel—your petitioners further represent that the greater part of the route which they hereby propose for a county road, is over and similar to roads as they are already traveled and thus its establishment would draw after it very little expence—they therefore pray that your honors would appoint a Committee to lay out the same, similarly to the plan herewith exhibited, and according to the flats in such cases made and provided. And as in duty bound will ever pray. THOMAS DAVIS, and 76 others. By ZACHARIAH SOULE, their attorneys.

To the Honorable the Court of General Sessions of the Peace within and for the county of Oxford, begun and held at Paris, in and for the said coun- ty, on the second Tuesday of May, A. D. 1807.

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! WHEN the attention of the public is so- cited by the author of a recent dis- covery, and in declaiming on its virtues he be- comes the panegyrist of his own merits, he will naturally incur the imputation of vanity; but it is not impossible that with such a de- fect, more noble qualities may be united.— Instead, therefore, of judging illiberally re- specting the motives of those who make them- selves the heroes of their own tale, ought we not rather to encourage individuals of active and cultivated minds, to present us with the details of their professional progress, with the fruits of their experience, and with the result of their matured reflections. DENNISON'S
Improved Jaundice Bitters; OR THE Grand Antiphlogistic Corrective. The Jaundice is discovered by want of ap- petite, costiveness, dullness and oppression, at times an irresistible propensity for sleep, and at others, too great watchfulness, a yawn- ness is by degrees diffused over the count- ion, tinges the urine, and whole mass of the fluids are infected with bilious secretion and in process of time the blood acquires a ten- dency to discolouration and putrefaction; in these cases it either degenerates into a drop- sy or ends in an apoplexy. A discharge by ve- nise is considered by the most learned of the profession, as a means for a length of time to preserve the life of the patient. That by an evacuation of bilious matter, the system may be freed from the bad consequences which ensue on its stagnation in the habit; to a com- plish which desirable effect, and to correct and prevent the putridity of bile, a better medicine than here described, has never been discovered. They are particularly serviceable in habitual costiveness, and in an oppressed and weak stomach. They are gratefully warm and pur- gently aromatic; exert wind in the easiest manner, without inmoderately heating or in- flaming the bowels; they are extremely ser- viceable in all seasons, but in the course of my practice I have proved them particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bil- ious habits experience such a total loss of ap- petite, listlessness and oppression; in such in- stances, by the application of this remedy the stomach is invariably torified, appetite and digestion effectually promoted, and plentiful perpiration produced. They possess incre- ver the property, peculiar to themselves, of qualifying and ameliorating those inflammatory pernicious qualities, inherent in ardent spirits and so often fatal when taken upon an empty stomach, and converts them into a wholesome, pleasant and invigorating stomachic. Being peculiarly adapted to cleanse the urinary pas- sages, they are singularly serviceable in drop- sies, by giving tone to the solids, enriching the blood, and invigorating the whole system. From their celebrity as an antidote against the scurvy, they are particularly cal- culated for sea-faring persons, to whose attention they are respectfully recommended. Persons leading sedentary inactive lives, are most sub- ject to these complaints. All, therefore, in such situations, though not immediately a- ware of inconveniences, would act wisely by securing a continuance of health, by means of this generous stomachic, as well as all epi- curies and bon vivants who wish for a deli- cious and delicate preparative for the appetite, the best companion at the festive board.

Lands in the District of Maine.
IN the Township No. Six and Eight in the Eighth Range, north of the Waldo Patent, are offered for sale, in lots of one and two hundred acres, for the purpose only of actual settlement. These townships are situated on the Sebeck and Pleasant Rivers, which afford an easy communication through the Piscataquis to Bangor on the Penobscot; they are well stocked with various kinds of excellent Tim- ber; have a number of valuable Mill Seats and the soil it is presumed, is inferior to none in the District. One or two hundred Families may be accom- modated with Lots in these townships, on terms which, it is not doubted, will be perfectly jus- tified. Enterprising and industrious Farmers, who wish to establish themselves advantageously, in a country well situated and rapidly increasing in value, will do well to examine these lands. Plans may be seen and terms made known at the Offices of Simon Greenleaf, Esq. Gray, or Jacob M'Gaw, Esq.
