NUMBER VII.
To the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES.
SIR,
THE second observation I have to make on the principles avowed in your answer, is, that the charge alleged against your predecessor, of excluding from all office those who were not of a particular sect, is not well founded.
It will be recollected that Gen. Washington, begun his administration upon the most conciliatory principles. In distributing the offices among parties, as far as they then existed, he held a most impartial hand.
When you resigned, your place was filled by Mr. Randolph, a man of the same sect. What was the consequence? Let the answer be found in the "precious confessions" which betray the secrets of government to a foreign and insidious minister...
The history of Gen. Lamb, Collector of the port of New-York, another of the same political sect with yourself, who also was found delinquent to the amount of fifty thousand dollars or more...
Another officer of the revenue in Boston, by the name of Jarvis, of the same republican sect, was guilty of a similar breach of trust...
Mr. Monroe, minister to France, another of this favorite sect, who violated his instructions, adds another example to the list of faithless public servants.
If, after all these instances of breach of confidence in the sect, which boasted of its exclusive title to republicanism, Gen. Washington, and Mr. Adams, began to question the safety of appointing pretended republicans to office, can any sober citizen blame their doubts?
But the assertion, that "by the steady pursuits of measures [exclusion] nearly all the offices were monopolized by one sect," requires great modifications to be entitled to the character of correctness.
But Gen. Washington came into office by a unanimous vote of both parties; and the political events which gave a new character and direction to opposition, took place in 1793, and the subsequent years.
mate, their numbers, respectability & weight of character. But observe, that when offices were well filled, they have been considered as permanently filled; the former Presidents never having displaced men without substantial objections to their conduct in office.
The case is precisely similar to that of a town or city incorporated, in which, at the first choice of officers, all the free citizens should agree in the choice. But in a few months one half of them, growing discontented, form a party against the officers and their adherents and exclaim most bitterly against them for a "monopoly of offices."
EXTRACTS
From "A Dissertation on the Constitutional Freedom of the Press in the United States," a pamphlet just published by Mr. Naurice, in Boston.
"THE conduct and tenor of executive and judicial appointments ought to be the subject of scrutiny. Where the appointments are bestowed upon persons of a particular way of thinking, or on the leaders of a party, we have a just right to discover from this, the drift of the administration, and as clear a privilege openly to promulge the truth, as to the facts of appointment, and to give out our opinion of the tendency of the measures.
"It has been said that the president cannot administer the government on his own principles and plans, unless his agents and servants shall coincide with him in opinions upon civil and political subjects. This assertion, in the latitude it is intended, cannot be true, or be consistent with political propriety.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman of high respectability in Maryland, to his friend in Beaufort District, of this State.
"YOU have no doubt heard of the election of Senate in this state. It is one of those evil events from whence good must result. Men have been chosen without attention to abilities or respectability; but merely with a view to organize the Legislature for party purposes.

did not temporize for a moment, but took his stand as an American and risked his all in support of our Independence. He filled various civil departments during our struggle, and was always distinguished for his talent and decision of measure. He was the intimate and confidential friend of Gen. Washington, and was in habits of "treasonable" correspondence with him at the time of his death. He was a member of the old Congress; has been in the Senate since the adoption of the federal government, and has served this state with the utmost industry, ability and integrity, for the last thirty-five years. He is a man of polished and superior education; frank and conciliating in his manner, a very able statesman, and possesses an amiable, virtuous and dignified private reputation. He in addition to all these qualities has an estate worth three millions of dollars. Still he was not considered by the inflammatory democrats as sufficiently attached to the state to be a member of its public councils. He has been superceded by a young lawyer who is destitute of political information, and on whom the community have no political ties. Thomas Johnston who so eloquently supported our declaration of independence in Congress, who was our Governor, at a trying and tempestuous period; who has held every appointment that Maryland could confer on him; who was appointed by Gen. Washington one of our national judges, and offered by him almost every office within his gift as President; has also been rejected, as one of those persons whom Mr. Jefferson has in his letter to Mr. Wise, denominated old Tories. He has been superceded by a physician who never was in public life, and who is remarkable for nothing except his violent politics; and being a very good eye doctor.—But "I should give you a fever" if I were to travel through the list of our new created fagots.—The avowed object of the change has been to get persons who will go to all lengths with our chief magistrates.—There is a vacancy in the National Senate, which will be supplied by our Legislature at their next session. They will also elect a governor and Council who will co-operate in the general plan.—You must recollect that the Senators of this State are chosen by electors, and not immediately by the people. It is said, and I believe with truth, that many of the moderate jacobins are disgusted with the choice. It appears to me impossible that the present mania can last. Our citizens have been grossly deceived, and the veil which has obscured their vision must be torn asunder.
From the NEW YORK EVENING POST. The Editor of the New-York Evening Post is requested to publish the following extracts and remarks.
THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. The immortality of the soul remains unsupported by any evidence, either direct or analogical, and considered as a cause, is inadequate to its supposed effects. The phenomenon which this hypothesis is framed to account for is the thinking power in man; a power or quality which it is supposed cannot be owing to matter; a supposition which is not well supported; for, that organized matter can and does think, may be proved by analogy, which is the only kind of evidence the subject will admit of.
"The doctrine of the resurrection, as taught by that transcendent philosophy" which was "confirmed by that pot which raised a Lazarus from the tomb," evidently supposes man to be wholly material."
"It is one of those opinions of mankind in theology which have the least evidence in favor of the probability of their being true."
"When it is 'asserted that certain positions are truths which are destitute of evidence sufficient to prove that they are truths, it is surely an evidence of philosophy in any to attempt to show mankind that in such instances they are mistaken."
"By referring to the scripture it will be found, that Christ 'taught that death is sleep, and that man would sleep eternally if he was not to be awakened by the Governor of the Universe.'
REMARKS. TO THE PIOUS CHRISTIAN OF WHATEVER POLITICAL TENETS
In the above extracts, the immortality of the soul is denied; it is asserted that matter can and does think; that man is wholly material; that death is sleep; and that the soul dies with the body.—To enter upon a discussion of these principles, for the purpose of showing them to be contrary to sound reason, and to the holy scriptures, is not intended; it would be a discussion evidently improper in a newspaper.—They are quoted merely to disclose the principles which certain men are indefatigably disseminating at this day, and of which certain papers are made the vehicle. These papers which are industriously spread among our citizens, are calculated to disturb the minds of the uninformed; to encourage the licentious, and to corrupt the young and the thoughtless.
Christians—do you not believe that for you to die will be gain? That when absent from the body you will be present with the Lord? Are not these truths your support and consolation under the evils of Life, and the prospect of Death? Do you not wish to live under the continual influence of them, and to have them impressed upon the minds of your children? What then are you to think of writings intended to shake your faith, to destroy your hope, and leave you to wander in awful darkness and uncertainty?
Can you continue to support these newspapers? or to wish for their circulation among the people? Party spirit cannot surely have so far blinded your eyes, as to prevent your seeing that while you side with persons in political principles, you are in danger of encouraging avowed enemies to the Christian religion.—Though you mean not this; nay, though you abhor the thought, yet, can you be innocent, while you countenance or aid them in any degree?
Be assured there is a determined and systematic attempt making to overthrow the christian faith.
There are numerous and well attested facts to prove this beyond all contradiction. The agents are disguising themselves under the show of an attachment to liberty and philanthropy, and are endeavoring to make use of this flattering pretence to draw to their purpose the honest and unsuspicious. Christians—be entreated seasonably to consider the danger, and to act the part to which you are most solemnly called.
Whatever may be the political opinions, all should unite in the support of this one sentiment, That an opposer of religion is an enemy to the liberty, and to the peace and happiness of mankind.
From the BILANCE. ASTONISHING effects are produced by the busy little creature, man, when he is so situated that his energies are drawn forth and directed to the best advantage. He turns a wilderness into fruitful fields and gardens, he masters Leviathan in its own element, traverses the vast ocean, and binds together the most distant nations in the golden chain of commerce.
But he is a proud little animal, and as selfish as he is proud; and, therefore, his powers and his fruits become torpid, unless his situation gives him to feel a degree of independence; and also unless he can appropriate to himself the fruits of his own earnings. The meaning of the word mine is learnt in infancy; it is imbibed, as it were, with the mother's milk: and the desire of appropriating the means of enjoyment to one's own dear self, is, in a general view, the great spring of human industry. When man labors for himself, and is secured in the exclusive enjoyment of his earnings, he feels a powerful stimulus to action. And this is the favorable situation of New England. In that country of real freedom the husbandman acknowledges no landlord, but the Lord of all lands. His heart is not withheld, nor his arm unnerved by the corroding consideration, that he holds his farm merely by the feeble tenure of a life lease; and that, when he dies, his widow and fatherless children must abandon her home, and be cast homeless upon the world.
Very different and highly pleasing ideas arise in his mind. "These acres (he says in his heart) are mine: the fee of them is in me and my heirs forever. I shall exclusively reap the benefit of the improvements, which may be effected by my industry.—Every building that I erect, every rod of ground that I subdue and enrich, every tree I plant, every seed that I put into the earth, will turn to my own advantage. When I die my children will inherit this spot of ground; and the marks of my prudent industry will help to keep me in their memory. Planting with their hand, they will say to each other and to the stranger: "These trees our father planted!—this orchard he grafted—this garden he laid out and fertilized—these meadows and fields he freed from bushes and enriched." Such reflections and anticipations, while they gladden the heart, do also nerve the arm and make it strong to labor.
In New England, the habit of industry is formed in early life. The children there are not dandled in the lap of sloth and served by slaves; they are taught betimes to serve and help themselves.
Massachusetts, in particular, HAS NO SLAVES. Happy people! Foremost in the American Revolution, you venerate its principles and give to others the liberty that you claim for yourselves.—Human flesh is not bought and sold in your markets.—No hapless African is bound by your yoke, or bleeds under your scourge.—In the mean time, your children are not taught a negroish dialect and manner; their bodies are not enervated, nor their minds poisoned by the attentions and company of slaves.—They are nursed by the FREE-BORN, and from their early years, their faculties are gradually drawn into action. VIATOR.

LITERARY NOTICE. Mr. JAMES HUMPHREYS, of this city has lately republished a book entitled, "The Rockford, or the Friendly Counsellor; designed for the instruction and amusement of the Youth of both sexes. Two volumes in one."
At the present time, when several presses in the United States are employed to fill the country with obscure and licentious books, purposely calculated to vitiate the taste and to corrupt the morals of the youth of both sexes, it is important to every parent, who regards the reputation and happiness of his children, to know something of the character of books offered for their perusal, before he can safely put any into their hands. Those who are acquainted with Mr. HUMPHREYS know, that he is honorably inquisitive of the character and tendency, of every book offered to the world through his press.
The work before us is happily calculated to arrest the attention, and to interest the feelings of juvenile readers, and at the same time to give a proper bias to the sentiments and affections of children. The characters introduced in the course of the work are such as to impress the mind with importance of early cherishing honorable and manly sentiments, cultivating the social affections, respecting the institutions of religion & of society in general, and suppressing all the mean, sordid & vicious passions of the heart. The book may, with safety and profit, be introduced into every family, and put into the hands of every child; and indeed, many parents may derive from it useful hints, as to the government of their families, and the kind of familiarity proper to be indulged among children and between children and their parents.
The work is handsomely printed and neatly bound in a small and convenient volume.
REVIEW OF DR. TRUMBULL'S HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT.
[In the Supplement to the British Monthly Magazine, published July 1801, under the head of Retrospect of American Literature, are to be found the following observations.]
"A work which, on the score of much excellence, has claim to notice, is "A complete History of Connecticut, Civil and Ecclesiastical, from the emigration of its first planters from England, in 1630 to 1713, by Benjamin Trumbull, D. D." As a complete history of America is only to be collected from the local history of its several states, contributions like the present towards such a general history are particularly valuable. The author has divided his work into chapters, the two first of which contain details of the discoveries, settlements, situation, &c. of Connecticut. He then gives a cursory but interesting account of the aborigines of the country, together with its animal and vegetable productions. Many subsequent chapters are employed in enumerating the purchases of the first settlers, their several wars with the Indians, their progress in the organization of a regular government, and their various improvements from 1630 to 1635, the period of union between Connecticut and New Haven. From this time is given the civil and political history of the State, to the year 1713, with which the volume closes: the ecclesiastical history of Connecticut and New Haven both antecedent and subsequent to the union very properly occupying distinct chapters of the work. Dr. Trumbull, in the preface to the publication, informs his countrymen that he is now engaged in compiling "A History of the United States," on a very extensive plan, and we may allow them to anticipate from the present specimen much impartiality, much minuteness of investigation and much fidelity in the exhibition of facts."
From an English Magazine, for May 1801.
Mrs. CHARLOTTE SMITH, is engaged upon a small History of England, for the purposes of education, and expressly adapted to the use of young ladies. Instead of being confined solely to the horrid details of battles, murders, and crimes, this History will treat rather of the progress of society, manners and civilization, illustrated by suitable anecdotes, connecting the political events, chiefly with a view to illustrate the British constitution.

NATCHIZ, SEPT. 29. REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT.
We learn that 7 Spanish officers have been committed to the Principal in New Orleans, for committing a gross insult to the flag of his Catholic majesty; hanged it first and then sat it on fire. It is conjectured, from the nature of the crime, that they will suffer the severest punishment the laws of Spain can inflict.
FRANKFORT (Ken.) OCT. 30.
WE understand that Col. James Smith, who was despatched some time since by the Presbyterian churches of this state, to endeavour to prevail on the Western Indians to receive ministers of the gospel among them, and educate their children, has returned, without having been able to accomplish the object of his mission.
It seems the Indians hold the same ideas, with regard to education and christianity, that they have for centuries. They informed Col. Smith, that if schools could be established amongst them to teach them in their own language, they would encourage it, but to send their children at a distance among strangers, they could not, as they would learn nothing that could be of advantage to them and would forget their own language; when they returned, they would not know how to build a cabin, or hunt for a livelihood.
With regard to religion; they say, they are satisfied with their own, and they do not see any advantage that would result to them from a change; but could they be made sensible of the superior advantage of the Christian religion over theirs they would embrace it.
We further learn; that where game is scarce the Indians cultivate the earth, & are beginning to raise flock; that civilization appears to advance slowly among them, and the pleasing hope is entertained, that they will in a few years, make more rapid advances. They express the warmest friendship for the United States, and say war would prove their ruin, if not their extermination.
We are also told, that Col. Smith is preparing an account of his mission, for the press; it will include the talks between him and the Indians. His being perfect master of several Indian tongues will enable him to give their talks literally translated.
The public, who must feel interested in the mission, which, had it succeeded, would have tended greatly to extend the light of the gospel, will we make no doubt, be highly entertained with the intended publication.
BALTIMORE, NOV. 16.
Of the CAPTURE of the TRIPOLITAN CORSAIR.
The United States Schooner Enterprise, commanded by the gallant Sterrett, arrived yesterday, from a cruise in the Mediterranean. Capt. S. touched at Gibraltar on the 8th October, but having been ordered by commodore Dale to America, with dispatches, he failed immediately without going ashore.
The accounts which we have heard of the capture of a Tripolitan corsair by the Enterprise, have been pretty accurately stated, and the particulars may be expected in a day or two from the navy department, of an action the
most destructive and obstinate that has occurred in many years. The affair was a Greek built ship, of about 250 tons, 14 guns, and 85 men. After fighting very desperately for nearly two hours, the hauled down her colors; and the men of the Enterprise left their guns, and gave three cheers for the victory. At this with his colors, and renewed the combat with fresh vigor, continually attempting to board, and the crew brandishing their sabres glittering with the sun, shewed all the frantic fury of cannon-prowels and skill of the brave and persevering crew of the Enterprise, the Barbarian struck her quarter, keeping his men to their guns. As soon as they had gained the position ordered, they opened a whole broadside again into the time, and attempted to board.—Fight on, was then the cry on board the Schooner, and sink the perfidious villains to the bottom! Every nerve was strained to get a permanent victory; and Capt. Sterrett's superior skill in the management of his vessel enabling him to rake her incessantly fore and aft, and make great havoc and devastation on board his antagonist, the issue was certain. Her mizen mast was carried by the wounds it received, sixteen or eighteen shot between wind and water opened her sides for the sea to pour in at, and fifty men killed and wounded livered her decks. Her treacherous commander, seeing their total destruction or surrender inevitable, implored for quarters; and bending in a supplicating posture over the waste of his vessel, threw his colors with his own hands into the sea, to convince his opponents that they should not be hostile again.—Capt. Sterrett, touched with the humanity of a brave conqueror, notwithstanding their infamous behavior, stopped the effusion of blood; but as his intentions would not permit him to make prize of her, he ordered them to throw every gun, sword, pistol, their ammunition, and every thing which had the appearance of an implement of war, into the sea, and then bid them to go about their business, and tell their countrymen the treatment they might expect to receive from a nation determined to pay their tribute to such villains in powder and ball.
The Enterprise, during the whole affair, which lasted about three hours, lost not a man.
The corsair fell in with commodore Dale in his way to Tripoli, and told him that it was a French ship of war which had used him in a rough and uncouth a manner, and begged a few articles which he stood in need of.
An officer of the Enterprise, has politely favored the editors of the Federal Gazette with the following articles:
August 1, 1801, off Malta, fell in with and captured a Tripolitan corsair, (a ship) mounting 14 guns, and 85 men, after an obstinate engagement of three hours.
August 5, an inter edition took place at Tripoli amongst the principal inhabitants in consequence of a report that the admiral was captured by an American vessel.—but, by the policy of the Bashaw, it at length subsided.
The Tripolitan corsairs are still at Gibraltar, and nearly defeated by their crews; the few that remain are reduced to the necessity of carrying barlens to obtain a wretched subsistence. The admiral left Gibraltar in an English vessel for Malta, and thereby escaped the vigilance of our vessels.
The report stated in the American papers, of the dissatisfaction of the Maltese towards the English, is erroneous; they appear perfectly satisfied with their present situation.
Alexandria has not fallen; and having procured a supply of water, was expected to make an obstinate resistance.
The Spanish gun boats at Algeciras are daily carrying in our vessels, 15 of which lay there, but being under quarantine, while at that place, could not procure a list of their names. The Spanish government have issued orders to their gun boats to molest no vessel bound to Gibraltar, bringing supplies for the American squadron. The report of the Spaniards making preparations for an attack on Gibraltar, is without foundation. The frigate President was at Gibraltar, and the other frigates cruising in the Mediterranean; but, however, expected in.
The following are the particulars of an affair that happened at Algiers about the 18th September, as stated by consul O'Brien:—When the Dey was in his mosque at prayers with his aids, 10 Turks entered the palace armed, took possession of his seats, hauled down his colors, secured the palace doors, hoisted a flag for a new Dey, and, from the windows above, offered a reward of 10,000 sequins to any person who would take his life. As he could not come out of the door of the mosque, on account of its being situated under the windows of the palace, and the Turks within having it in their power to fire upon them, they cut a passage through the back of the building, and entering the palace attacked the insurgents, seven of whom made their escape, the other three fought until two of them, overcome by loss of blood, were compelled to surrender. The other was cut to pieces in the Dey's seat, after usurping that post of honor for three hours. All, however, was quiet when we left the Dey, the 22nd September.
PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 18. By several letters from the officers and crew of the American vessel detained at Algeciras, it appears, that these unfortunate men are treated by their unmanly victors, with more than savage brutality. We have now before us a letter from one of the crew of the ship Molly.

port dated Oct. 20. state. "our captain, with cargo, mates and crew, without exception, have been plundered, and those who refused to give up their lives, have been mangled by the swords of the pirates, the blood issuing at every stroke. The pirates had a flag at him across the table which had it reached him would have gone to his heart."
AMERICAN CHEESE IN ENGLAND.  Extract of a letter from a Physician of great eminence in London, to his friend near Boston. "The two Cheeses came safely to hand and were truly acceptable. At an entertainment, on long since, at my country residence at Grove Hill, which was very numerous, I could hardly convince some of my guests that the Cheese was any other than in England, until I shewed the mark on them of "Callender's Cheese Celler, Boston." They all agreed that they would give some credit to the first dairies in England."
Portland,  Monday, November 30, 1801.
Thursday last, was observed throughout the states of New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, as a day of Public Thanksgiving, in conformity to the wise and pious custom of our forefathers. Notwithstanding the Legislature of Rhode Island has not countenanced the observance of a day of Thanksgiving this year in that state, we hear that the religious societies of Providence, and some other towns, concurred at the 16th inst. as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer, in common with their brethren in New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.
Mr. Dudley Pickman, lately arrived at Salem, from Sumatra, informs, that there was a report at Bencoolen, the 19th of July, that Batavia had surrendered to the English. It was known that an English squadron from Bengal had for some time formed the blockade of that place; and this report was brought to Bencoolen by a vessel which spoke one of the English squadrons in the Straits of Sunda, from which she received the account. The report was not fully depended on, but highly credited.
Capt. Story, who arrived at Newburyport on Wednesday last, in 35 days from Lisbon, informs that the news of peace had reached there, and occasioned a great stagnation of business.
Extract of a letter from Madrid, dated October 13th, to a merchant in Newburyport. "The preliminaries were signed for a general peace on the first day of this month, at London, by Lord Hawkesbury, and M. Otto, and that they have since been ratified by his Britannic Majesty, and the First Consul of France."
"A Congress is to be held at Amiens to adjust the definitive treaty, to which the Allies are requested to send Plenipotentiaries."
"A treaty of peace between Russia and Spain, has also been signed at Paris, by Messrs. Azara and Ma- liff."
A letter from a respectable gentleman in England to his friend in Newburyport, informs, that a loan of fifty millions sterling had been requested from the people by the British government.
A considerable shock of an earthquake was felt at Philadelphia, on Thursday 12th inst. accompanied with a severe explosion, followed by a rumbling distant sound. A slight agitation was perceptible in several houses. No injury of any kind was sustained.
Accounts from New Orleans, state that the yellow fever was increasing. A letter from thence mentions, that that country and province is absolutely ceded to the French by the Spaniards; and that Bowles and the Indians are very troublesome, having killed several Spanish soldiers and settlers.

EXTRACTS.
"Men who are opposed in opinion to the government, as it is established, cannot be safely trusted with its administration. Those who have no confidence in an elective republic, but believe an hereditary monarchy, and a line of descending nobility as necessary, can never administer an elective republic with firmness and patience. Those men who are opposed to all settled rules, and adverse to all the maxims, which experience and wisdom have established, can never administer any government well. Yet this is a case very wide from those opinions, which divide the body of the people in our country: the extremes on each side ought to be rejected, but whether a man is in favor of Adams, Jefferson, Burr or Pinckney, ought by no means to be considered as a qualification, or as a disqualification to office."
"Should the idea obtain, that men are to be appointed to, or excluded from office, on account of political opinions upon the administration of the government there would be an eternal warfare between the outs and ins . Contentions would be sharpened, and the hopes and fears of men in office, or those who want offices, would have the full effect of bribery and corruption. The number who are in office, will always be a minority, and those who are out, and under disappointment, must ultimately prevail: these will have their day of triumph, and an opportunity to share in the coveted emoluments of the treasury."
Previous to a late election in New-York, money was raised by subscription to qualify certain democrats to vote. They are called "Tontine Voters," and are said to have decided the election in one or two wards. Democrats are surely the most virtuous people in the world! Liberty must be safe in their hands!

"The attention which a distinguishing public in this country as well as in England (where it has run through 2 editions) have paid to Julia and the Illuminated Baron, has drawn from the same pen another volume which we venture to pronounce not inferior to the former, in depth and delicacy of plot, in imagery and accuracy of description and in strength and shade of character: a candid public will stand by the offspring of American genius, nor suffer her sons or daughters to languish through the want of public spirit."

Poetry.  FROM SEWALL'S MISCELLANEOUS POEMS.  The following Speech, for substance, was actually made by a noted gambler in N. H. on obtaining a verdict against the unanimous opinion of the Judges, by tampering with the Jury.  WE cut and shuffled, stirr'd out stumps, But z—ds! they put us to our trumps. They held court-cards, led suit beside, With all four bonos on their side; They play'd the d—ce! but we, more brave, Finesse'd on hearts, and play'd the knave. We better knew the pack to fix, And won the game at last by tricks!
The cant word love , which is so common among cockneys and coxcombs, is not, as generally supposed, the quaint invention of the present day. In Shakespeare's Henry VII. the Duke of Buckingham describing the malice and threatening looks of Cardinal Wolsey, proceeds thus,
"I read in his looks, Matter against me; and his eye recoil'd Me, as his object; at this instant He loves me with some trick."
WHEREAS my wife RUTHEY STACEY, has conducted in a very unbecoming manner—all persons are hereby forbidden to trust her, as I will not pay any debts of her contracting. JOHN STACEY. Parsonfield, November 7th, 1801:
