FOR THE GAZETTE.
SPRING, summer, and autumn are o'er, Like visions of night they have pass'd; Their pleasures and ills are no more, Chill winter succeeds them at last. Ah, what then is life but a dream, Its pursuits but follies at best; Its fortunes are ever extreme, Exalted, then quickly depress'd. Then why should man labor and toil, And seek after honor and wealth? Misfortune his projects will foil, A phantom beguins for his health. Frail man, like a plant in the field, Thou must blossom, flourish, and die! To worms thou thy body must yield, In dust, whence thou sprang'st, thou must lie. With wealth canst thou buy a reprieve? Will Death, think, thy greatness respect? Thy gold and thy friends thou must leave: Maa! when wilt thou learn to reflect? O childhood! life's springtime thou art— Thy scenes often sit through my mind, And oft draw a sigh from my heart, A tear that's by memory rekind. Thy careless and happy career, The summer, more grave, does succeed; And soon yellow autumn draws near The white locks of winter to dread. The seasons revolving around, Yon languishing plant yet may save; But life, hoary winter does bound, No spring will revisit the grave.

The Importance of Punctuality.
"Go sell the oil, and pay thy debts, and live thou and thy children of the rest." 2 Kings, iv. 3.
THERE is a class of people who, tho' not tainted with criminals, occasion much inconvenience and vexation in society: these are those that are prompt to promise, but slow to perform. Some there are who deceive others in dealing by first deceiving themselves. They are so misled by an ardent imagination as to think, without any solid grounds, that to-morrow will be much more abundant with them than the present day. They can do this, and can do that, and indeed do almost any thing, a while hence . They take credit with eagerness and with confidence, because, without consulting their understandings, they blindly follow the impulse of a romantic hope. "The thing is rather dear, and I might do without it, but can have six month's credit"—Six months credit! 'tis half as good as though it were given out of hand; for surely I can make payment in all that time, and scarcely feel it."—Well, among a thousand possibilities, it is barely possible that a man who has no money now, nor any adequate means to raise it, may nevertheless have money enough six months hence.—Hope fastens upon this single possibility. She ventures in the lottery when the chances are nine hundred and ninety-nine to one against her, and draws a blank.—Pay day arrives; the creditor comes.—"You must wait; the world, you know, is full of disappointments, and I have had my share of them; I will positively pay you in sixty or ninety days; but cant for the life of me do it now."
There are some who would scorn the imputation of falsehood or of knavery; yet they readily promise, by word or by note, without even intending to perform their engagements punctually : they know they must pay at last, but mean to shuff it off as long as they can, and never think of blessing themselves in earnest till after they have received two or three duns , or a visit . There are some who are slack to pay, when it is completely in their power: they wait to be urged, and discharge their honest debts with as much loathsomeness as a miser gives alms.—There are some who are particularly heedless of the small sums they owe. They suffer little bills which they could pay at any time, to be preferred to them over and over again, till the trouble of collecting nearly equals the value of the debts.—Finally, there are some who, though they never expect to pay at all, add to the misfortune of their creditors by amusing them as long as they possibly can with fair and flattering promises.
Now it happens that a large part of these are classed by the world among your milky-good-n-ed people. They are thought not to have the flinty rigour of your strait-laced dealer, who is punctiliously himself and exacts the same of those he deals with.—They are excelsis, but condescending, hardly just, but profusely liberal; hating to pay away, but free to give away, and even to throw away. But after allowing them all due credit for their good nature; after allowing too that they don't mean the mischief which they occasion; it may be affirmed for truth, the community generally suffers ten fold more from these good natured folks than from all the down-
right robbery and theft that are committed in it. It is seldom that one is robbed of his money, or has his goods stolen; whereas disappointments arising from want of punctuality, are evils that are felt daily, and by all; by farmers, mechanics and labourers, as well as by merchants and traders. One disappointment of this kind frequently occasions many more. A owes a sum to B, and B owes it to C, and so on, perhaps, throughout all the letters of the alphabet; and by reason that A disappoints B, all are disappointed.
Many of those who are heedless of their pecuniary engagements have become so by habit . Their first negligence began in early life, and in trivial affairs; and the first violations of their promises gave them, perhaps, considerable uneasiness. By frequent repetitions their minds gradually became callous; till at last they are brought to forfeit their word without shame or compunction. It is therefore a necessary and important part of education to guard the young mind against this evil. Children and youths should be taught punctually, both as a moral duty and as a necessary step to their own interest & respectability in life: I speak of lawful engagements only; for " criminal engagements are absolutely null, & never to be fulfilled. " They should be cautioned often against being imprudent or prodigal in promises, and exhorted to a strict and punctual performance. Bend a twig in any particular direction, and keep it so for a long time, and it will continue in that direction after it has grown to a tree. Thus persons who had been always accustomed to be scrupulously exact in the performance of their promises and engagements during the periods of childhood and youth, are seldom heedless in such respects afterwards; for punctuality becomes natural to them, and the longer they live the more clearly they see the benefits of it to themselves as well as to the community.
The ability to be punctual in fulfilling engagements depends greatly upon prudence in making them. A man who would support a fair character for honesty and punctuality should be cautious of plunging too deeply in debt; should never pass his word rashly; should never engage in too hazardous undertakings, nor promise further than he has a reasonable expectation of being able to perform. One who values his honour or his credit should carefully shun the scandal of being a bad paymaster; it is a blot on the character, and an impediment to worldly interest.
One who properly regards his own peace of mind and the duties of society will not unnecessarily keep others out of their dues, even a single day. "Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will (pay); when thou hast it by thee;" consume not a drop of the " oil " which belongs to the creditor. Live upon your own; for it is infinitely better, with a bare competence, to live honestly, than, by means of keeping others out of their just dues, to live splendidly.

APPROACH OF WINTER.
An extract. —How short the day, how long and gloomy the night. The verdure of the field is faded; the garden and the grove mourn. There no bird sings; there no lilly blows! How altered from the bloom of Spring!—The bloom of Spring is fled; summer is past; cheerful Autumn is retiring; and frowning winter will soon triumph, in the midst of desolation. The blast blows cold, it rises to a tempest, it roars from the frozen mountains of the north. How sad the scene! How dismal the future prospect!—Mourn not; Spring again will bloom, the field and the garden again rejoice; and the grove resound with the singing of birds.
Behold frail mortal, the picture of thyself! Thy vernal infancy, thy youthful summer, and thy cheerful Autumn of withering age; How swift are thy days; how soon pass. What next awaits thee? The winter of death, the cold, the silent grave. How sad the present, how dismal the future prospect! Yet mourn not; hope still smiles! Thy sleeping dust shall be re-animated, thy mouldering body be clothed with immortal beauty. Then shalt thou rejoice in unfading youth; the blast of adversity shall blow no more! The night of death will be succeeded by celestial morning! the Winter of mortality, by a long eternal spring!

The Monitor....No. XIII.
"Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel."
THE character of king Saul is one of the most singular recorded in the Old Testament. A melancholy picture, indeed, is exhibited, when we trace him through all his unrighteousness to the last tragical scene of his life, when Gilboa's awful mount received his blood, shed by his own wicked hand. He had been highly favored of Heaven. Elected by the Almighty, to reign over his chosen people, and placed under the care and tuition of pious Samuel, he seemed every way calculated to make a distinguished figure in the history of the primitive Church. But with such peculiar advantages his fall was the more dreadful. His enormities were at length so great, that even the common influences of the Spirit were withdrawn, and he was left to grope in the dark, bewildered in the multitude of his own sins, and not knowing which way to look for relief.
In the midst of his distress, he appears to have felt the necessity of the counsels he had received from his former friend and instructor. But here a new difficulty suggests itself. God had ceased to answer him in any way. His dreams were a mere jargon of confused ideas. The prophets had forsaken him—And even the Urim and Thummim were to him as useless names. In this dilemma, we see depraved human nature in its most hideous deformity. He doubtless said, as many do at the present day, " the end shall justify the means; " and had recourse to sorcery and witchcraft, to raise from the dead the form of Samuel, that he might know his destiny. It is not to our purpose to follow Saul any further, but now make the comparison between him and the sinner of gospel days.
'Tis true that at this day of light and knowledge, people do not resort to witches or magicians; but there still exists a certain spirit of divination, which is equally criminal, and much more destructive to the peace of society. It becomes not man to pretend to fathom omnipotence; but weak, vain, and ignorant, he would fain dive into the secrets of futurity, and if possible penetrate the eternal counsels. That raging curiosity which may indulge, which is even on the stretch to peep into the events of to-morrow, betrays a mean distrust of the dispensations of providence which is wholly unbecoming a christian, and leads the mind insensibly astray from virtue and truth, to the deplorable condition of those, who " proclaim their sin as Samaria, and say, Thy God O Dan, liveth. "
Quarrels in the Haut Ton; OR, The Cheltenham Fashionable's.
Lady Mary Lindsay Cranford and Mr. Brissac, are next door neighbours at Cheltenham, and have quarrelled about their party wall. Unlike Pyramus and Thisbe , they have not been kissing through the wall—but on the contrary, have been knocking their heads against it; being to them a wall of separation from all neighbourly and friendly intercourse and kindness.
Among the various modes to which they have resorted to shew their mutual dislike, the lady built her wall so high as to entirely exclude all view of his premises; and Mr. Brissac, in revenge, erected very high poles, topping the wall—on each of which he hoisted an old pair of breeches; thus surrounding her ladyship's premises with this article of male attire, so peculiarly offensive to the eyes of an old maid, to which class lady Mary belongs. Mr. Brissac contended, that this was done merely as a precaution to frighten the crows; but the lady felt that it was an insult levelled against the tabbies. It would be a matter of surprise indeed, if so angry a quarrel did not produce a law-suit. An action was tried at the late assizes, brought by the lady against the gentleman—and a verdict was had for the defendant.— Lond. post.
Some very extraordinary instances of abstinence are recorded in medical works, but we do not recollect any that in all respects can be compared with this—
"Ann Moore, aged forty-eight, now living at Tisbury, in Staffordshire, has swallowed no kind of food whatever, either solid or fluid, for the last two years and a half. Her appetite began to decline about seven
years ago, in consequence of weak digestion, and in March, 1807, the passage to her stomach became completely closed, so as not to admit of her swallowing even a drop of water; from the pit of her stomach downward she is a mere skeleton, notwithstanding which her countenance is perfectly cheerfull and has the appearance of good health. So late as last Friday, she was visited by the writer of this article, and was then in excellent spirits, and felt no pain whatever, except a slight shooting across her forehead; she has been offered a thousand pounds to visit the metropolis, and the poor, she declines leaving her home and friends. She never sleeps, but amuses herself by reading all night, and receiving the visits of vast numbers who daily flock to her humble roof. Her memory is amazingly retentive, and she feels no inconvenience but from the approach of persons who have been drinking spirits, which affects her much. Numerous medical men have gone from London to behold this wonderful phenomenon, and on examination, are fully convinced, from her appearance, that no imposition whatever has been practised."
A FAT JURY.
At a court held in Sampson county, in North Carolina, on the 25th ult. the weight of the twelve jury men amounted to 2,710 lbs. Two of them weighed 600, three 700, one 230, and the remaining six 1,180. As those gentlemen have long been residents in the county, we may form some idea of the healthiness of it, particularly as they were not selected on account of their size, which is thought moderate in that place.
[Fayetteville Paper.]
A more wanton act of barbarity we never remember to have heard of, than that which was committed on Saturday last. A gentleman in the neighboring county, having consigned the management of his farm to his nephew, a young man of an irritable disposition, he quarrelled with one of the plough boys, whom he tied to the tail of a cart and flogged him unmercifully. The lad remonstrating against the treatment he had received, brought upon him farther and more severe punishment. His inhuman master next fastened him to the tail of one of the cart horses, then giving the animal a cut with his whip, he sprung forward, and finding an incumbrance behind, kicked to get rid of it, and hitting the poor boy in the stomach, he immediately expired. The body was taken to a public house in the neighborhood, for coroner's inquest to be taken upon it. The farmer was immediately arrested and conveyed to jail.

DAVID BAILIE WARDEN.
This important personage, who now figures in the prints as General Armstrong's consular and agent of prize causes at Paris, defender, witness, certificate maker, &c. ought to be known to the public, in order that they may be able to judge what degree of credit he is entitled to. I therefore present them with the following account of him received yesterday from a respectable friend:—
"David Bailie Warden was born in Ireland, and was ordained there a presbyterian minister. He came to this country about ten years ago, but was never naturalized, as I believe. He was considered a zealot, attached to French politics, and, though generally guarded, was viewed to be at heart a bitter jacobin. He relinquished his ministerial functions when here, excepting that he preached now and then. He at first had the charge of the academy at Kinderhook, in Ulster county, and afterwards of the one at Kingston. He boarded in Armstrong's family, and Armstrong took him with him when
he went to France, to serve in the double capacity of tutor to his children and private secretary to himself. And now it appears he is in the unaccountable manner, confidant and agent of prize causes at Paris. He is a good scholar, and understands French well."
The same correspondent informs me, who and what he himself is, and what he has been. But I know him well already, and so do the public generally, by what becomes necessary, they shall know more. He was once a federalist, am told. I know it.
"A fairer person lost not heaven; he for For dignity compos'd and high exalted But all was false and shallow; his tongue Dropt manna, and could make the world The better reason, to perplex and dally Maturest counsels: for his thoughts were low: To vice industrious, but to nobler deeds Tim'rous and slothful."
Milton.
I merely give this as a beautiful quotation from an admired author.
[New York Herald.]
"Burn, Sink, and Destroy."
The Swedish ship Gustavus , Capt. Evers, 31 days from Liverpool, in distress, bound to Amelia Island, arrived at Charleston, on the 14th ult. Sailed 8th Oct. and on the 14th, in lat. 49, 18, long. 26, was captured by the French privateer ship of war, Le Decade , from Bordeaux, Capt. Briollet, of 18 guns, and 150 men.—Capt. Briollet informed Capt. Evers that his orders were to Ransom, BURN or DESTROY all vessels from or to England, provided the value of the vessel and cargo captured did not amount to 40,000 dollars; If the amount exceeded that sum, he was to send them to France. The Gustavus and cargo not being considered worth 40,000, the captain of the privateer insisted on having her immediately ransomed, or he should destroy her ; which induced Capt. Evers to draw bills on England for 35,000 dollars, being the amount required.
Capt. Briollet said HE WAS FITTED OUT PURPOSELY TO CAPTURE AMERICANS—he, however, treated the master and crew of the Gustavus with decency.
A gentleman of our acquaintance has put into our hands, the Nova Scotia Royal Gazette , of August 8th, 1809, containing an official publication of the Orders of Council as modified in May last, and the Orders, relating to Mr. Erskine's Treaty—in fact the whole code of recent instructions for the government of British cruisers and Courts of Admiralty.
We have perused them attentively, and cannot find any thing, if we rightly understand them, to authorize the recent condemnations at Halifax, on account of certificates of origin.
Certificates of origin certainly fly in the face of the principle that neutrals shall be suffered to export to an enemy's country, the produce of her colonies, only on the presumption , that it was imported for the home consumption of the neutral, and exported, as being the surplus of the national flock of that produce. But we do not know that exception has been taken heretofore, in cases where certificates of origin appeared with the cargo; and we are informed, that in some, if not in all the insurance offices in town, having certificates or not, did not affect the rate of insurance.— Boston Repository.
NORFOLK, NOV. 3.
The ship Pintarch , capt. Bacon, arrived this morning from Cadiz, which place he left the 30th of last month. He says nothing new had

occurred in Spain. No Regency had been appointed. A reinforcement of 25,000 men was expected from England.
Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, OCT. 18.
THE Paris Moniteur announces the signing of PEACE between Austria and France, on the 3rd October, at Vienna. This fact, it is said, has been announced by salutes in France and Holland. No specification of the conditions have been received; and it would be a waste of time and paper, to repeat, or notice the shrewd conjectures and we hours of pretended wire-pulling : or the lamentable croakings of profligate party hirelings on the subject. We do not permit ourselves to doubt the fact; but a report equally as direct, reached us many weeks since, which events demonstrated to be a sheer fabrication. It is said, Austria gives up her southern provinces, as well as Upper and Lower Austria, retaining only Hungary, Bohemia and Moravia; and that Francis renounces the title of Emperor.
REPORTED PEACE
Between France and Austria.
OCT. 19.—Government we are told, have received information, that the long protracted negotiation between France & Austria, has terminated by a Treaty of Peace, on the 3rd of October. The terms are not known, but it is said Austria retains only Hungary and Bohemia.
Bonaparte returning to France.
LONDON, OCT. 19.—On the 1st of October relays of horses were placed on the road from Vienna to Paris to convey the French Emperor home. He was expected to leave Schoenbrunn, on the 3rd or 4th October.
Peace between Russia & Sweden.
RAMBURG, OCT. 6.
On the 5th September, a treaty was concluded between Russia and Sweden, Russia restores to Sweden the conquests she has made in Bothnia; but is to retain the Grand Duchy of Finland.—The Torneo is to form the boundary between the two nations. The ratifications are to be exchanged in four weeks. English ships of war and merchantmen are to be excluded from Swedish ports; but Sweden reserves the right to import from thence salt and colonial produce.
LONDON, OCT. 12.—Mr. Canning has perfectly recovered of his wound; and yesterday delivered up to his Majesty his seals as Secretary of Foreign Affairs.
The Marquis Wellesley will certainly be recalled from Spain, to fill one of the departments of Government.
At present the following are the Cabinet Ministers—Rt. Hon. Spencer Perceval, is First Lord of the Treasury, (a) and Chancellor of the Exchequer:—Lord Bathurst, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, (b)—Rt. Hon. Robert Dundas, Saunders, Secretary of the War Department, (c)—Rt. Hon. Charles Yorke, Secretary at War, (d)—The other Ministers retain their seals.

M. Champagny to Gen. Armstrong.
LONDON, OCT. 18. The French papers contain the following letter from the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the American Ambassador in Paris.—
Letter of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of France, M. CHAMPAGNY, to Gen. ARMSTRONG, minister of the U. S. at Paris, dated Altenburg, August 22, 1809.
"SIR—His Majesty understanding that you are about to despatch a ship to the U. States, commands me to make known to you the unalienable principles which have and will regulate his conduct in the great question respecting neutrals.
"France admits the principle, that the flag protects trade. The trading vessel which carries the licence of its government, may be considered as a moving colony; to insult such vessels by search, pursuit, or any act of arbitrary power, is a viola-
tion of the fundamental law of colonization, and is an attack upon the government of the flag. The flag belongs to every nation, without exception: They are the common property and domain of all mankind.
"Consistent with this doctrine, merchant vessels, belonging to individuals may pass by inheritance to persons who never exposed themselves to be made prisoners of war. In all her conquests France has considered sacred, private property, deposited in the warehouses of the vanquished State, and such have had the complete disposal of matters of trade; and at this moment convoys by land or merchandise, and especially cottons, are passing through the French army and Austria, to proceed to the destination commerce directs. If France had seized the monopoly of the seas, she would have accumulated in her territory all the products of the earth, and she would have obtained immeasurable wealth.
"Undoubtedly, if England had the dominion of land, which she has acquired on the ocean, her acquisitions would have been equally enormous. She would, as in the times of barbarism, have sold the conquered, and distributed them as slaves throughout her land. The avarice of trade would have absorbed every thing, and this government of an enlightened nation, which has brought the acts of civilization to perfection, would have given the earliest instances of the return of the savage ages. —That government is fully impressed with the injustice of its naval code. But what has that government to do with justice, which only inquires for profit?
"When France shall have established her naval power, which, with the extent of her coasts and her population, will be soon accomplished, then will the Emperor reduce these principles to practice, and apply his mandate to render it universal. The right, or rather the usurpation of blockading rivers and coasts by proclamation, is palpably contrary to reason and equity. —A right cannot possibly spring from the will of an interested party, but must always be founded on the natural relation of things. A place is not properly blockaded to prevent the introduction of assistance, by which the surrender of the place might be protracted; and then we have only the right to prevent neutral ships from entering the port when a place is thus circumstanced, and the possession of it is matter of doubt between the besiegers and the besieged —On this is grounded the right to prevent neutrals from entering the place.
"The sovereignty and independence of its flag, like the sovereignty and independence of its territory are the property of every neutral. A state may transfer itself to another state; it may destroy the archives of its independence, and pass from Prince to Prince, but the right of sovereignty is indivisible and unalienable; no one can renounce it.
"England has placed France in a state of blockade.—The Emperor has, in his decree of Berlin, declared the British Islands in a state of blockade.—The first of these regulations forbid neutral vessels to proceed to France; the second prohibited their entering English harbours.
"England has, by her Orders of Council of the 11th of November, 1807, levied an impost on neutral ships, and obliges them to enter its ports before they sail to France. By the decree of the 17th of December, of the same year, the Emperor has decreed, that all such ships be denationalized, which had entered English ports, or submitted to be searched.
"In order to ward off the inconveniences with which this state of things threatened her commerce, America laid an Embargo in all her harbours; and although France had done nothing more than used the right of retaliation, its wants, and those of its colonies, suffered much from this measure; yet did the Emperor magnanimously connive at the proceeding, in order rather to endure the privation of commerce, than to acknowledge the authority of the usurper of the seas.
"The embargo was raised, and a system of nonintercourse was substituted for it. The powers on the Continent, in alliance with England, having the same object in view, made a common cause with her, that they might derive the same advantage.
The harbours of Holland, of the Elbe, of the Weser, of Italy, and of Spain, were to enjoy those benefits from which France was to be excluded; and the one and the other were to be opened or closed to commerce, as circumstances rendered expedient, for as France was bereft of it.
"Thus, Sir in point of principle, France recognizes the freedom of neutral commerce, and the independence of the maritime powers; which she respected up to the moment when the maritime tyranny of England that respects nothing, and the arbitrary proceedings of its government, compelled her to adopt measures of retaliation, to which she resorted with regret. Let England revoke her blockade of France, and France will recall her declaration of blockade against England. Let England revoke her Cabinet Orders of the 11th Nov. 1807, and the Milan Decree will expire of itself. The American commerce will then recover its complete freedom, and be assured of finding in the harbors of France favor and protection. But it belongs to the U. States to attain this happy object by their firmness. Can a nation, resolved to remain free, hesitate between certain momentary interests, and the great cause of maintaining her independence, her honor, her sovereignty, and her dignity?
(Signed) "M. CHAMPAGNY."
By the Quails.
From the Providence American.
Much has already been said respecting the conduct of our minister, general Armstrong, and more we doubt not will soon be developed, to place his infamy in strong and lasting colours. Hundreds of our unfortunate countrymen, whose fate has cast them within the purview of his diabolical agency—who have received the hug of "French fraternity," and wasted their health and strength in the dungeons of Arras and the infectious prisons of France, call loudly for vengeance, and demand of their injured and insulted country redress for their wrongs, and punishment of that wretch who tamely submits without murmur to the greatest injury, and seals by his terpsitude the wound inflicted on the honour of his country. For such perfidy perhaps no parallel can be found on the pages of history; for had it ever have existed, nature would have revolted from the page, and none but an Armstrong could ever have recorded it. Washington knew him and despised him; and it was left to democracy to reward "his talents" and "exalted virtues." Like Cain he ought forever to be exiled from all society, and every friend to his country—every friend to the feelings of our common nature should shun him as "the pestilence that walketh in darkness." His country's honour demands that he suffer the last of justice. And to his eternal judge the sufferings of the injured will cry for redress, and like Milton of Satan, we may yet say—
"Him the Almighty power Hurld headlong from th' ethereal sky, With hideous ruin and combustion, down To bottomless perdition; there to dwell In adamantine chains and penal fire."
Facts respecting the British Minister.
We averred in many successive papers, that the paragraphs of the Intelligence respecting the rupture with this minister were false and fabricated. This we did from a knowledge we possessed, that the chief statement was a gross misrepresentation. But we had no conception of the extent of the profligate falsehoods, with which, that paper has dared to abuse and deceive the people. From the hesitation, which it was so natural for cautious men to feel in such circumstances, and the desire to expose the truth in its true colours, we some days ago wrote for the facts to a friend in Washington, who moves in a circle enabling him to obtain correct intelligence. Yesterday evening, when the matter for our paper was too nearly completed to admit of sufficient room for the whole communication, we received his answer. The following is a contraction of his statement.
On Saturday preceding the Intelligence's manifesto, Mr. Jackson did send not for a passport to leave the country, but for a safe guard for himself and his family, foreseeing what has since happened, that as soon as the government had broken off communication with him, an attempt would be made to influence the passions of the people, and to excite them to violence, to which they had before been rendered
prone by the same pens, which afterwards pretended to calm them. Mr. R. Smith was expressly informed, that the minister did not mean to leave the country. On the Monday before he knew that the rupture was published, a notification was given of the minister's intention to remove from Washington, accompanied with such explanations as might have led to an accommodation, if it had been desired. An inclination was even shown to further explanations, which was abruptly refused by Mr. Smith, unless the minister would consent to say, that was not fact, which he had before been told by the same secretary was a fact.
There has been no impeachment of veracity. Mr. Jackson took Mr. Erskine's statement as he found it (which is not verbal but written ) without vouching for the correctness of it. He would have received Mr. Smith's contradiction, as he says, in the same manner, if Mr. Smith had given one, which he did not, and that he had nothing to do with the veracity of either party, but to take the fact officially stated by the one and admitted by the other, to wit, that the three conditions, forming the whole substance of the instructions of the 22nd January, had been not only communicated but expatiated upon at considerable length.
This is a fact and no insinuation, and beyond this, he declares, nothing was meant nor said. There was no intemperate or indecorous language used, but only a resistance to an attack upon the independence of a foreign minister, who, it is to be remembered, treats upon a footing of perfect equality, and who would be condemned by his government, if he submitted to be schooled. —Baltimore Fed. Rep.
A loqu hole.—We suspect that the note in the National Intelligencer of Monday last, which we have been led to consider as official, is only a paragraph of the editor, unauthorised by the government. We can hardly believe the government could make an explicit avowal , that they had no knowledge of Mr. Erskine's instructions. For the honour of the great Mr. Smith, we think the little Mr. Smith must shoulder this paragraph. For, paradoxical as it may appear, the little man is much more able to bear it than the great one.—Alexandria Gaz.
Something new in the annals of Democracy.—In the republican Legislature of Maryland, on the 15th ult. on motion, leave was given to bring in a bill, entitled, an act to prevent FREE NEGROES, MULATTOES or SLAVES from attending a place where a regiment or battalion may be convened for military duty!
From the Kennebec Gaz. 25th ult.
SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.
On Thursday was closed the prosecution against the prisoners charged with the murder of Paul Chadwick—the Court having been solely employed seven days successively in the trial.—The first day was taken up in empanelling the Jury; the second, third, and fourth in examining the witnesses; the fifth and sixth in hearing the pleas; and the seventh, till one o'clock afternoon, in summing up the evidence by the Court. Eight persons were indicted, 1 of whom being called by the Solicitor-General by the leave of the Court, as a witness for Government against his accomplices, was not put on trial. Every possible indulgence not inconsistent with the duties of their office, was shown by the Court to the prisoners at the bar—their Council were seven hours, and the Solicitor-General four hours, in addressing the Jury.—The prisoners were ably defended by their Council, who displayed in their behalf much learning, ingenuity and eloquence.—The Solicitor in closing his plea for the Government, united argument, perspicuity, eloquence, pertinent scriptural and polished metaphorical allusions to a degree we have rarely witnessed in the judiciary tribunals of our country. In this part of the country, where no man has paid the forfeiture of his life to public justice for nearly twenty years, it was a spectacle tremendously solemn and novel to behold seven promising young men, all under the age of 26, and all but two connected in marriage, arraigned at the bar of public justice for the horrid crime of murder.—The occasion called together more than 500 spectators, who constantly crowded a large Court-House seven days. Judge Parker summed up the great mass of evidence produced on trial in a manner so pertinent, candid, luminous and satisfactory, that the presiding Judge observed to the Jury, that although the Bench intended separately to have addressed the Jury, their observations had been so perfectly anticipated by the Judge who spoke, that they found it necessary to add nothing, except their prayer to the Father of Lights, that he would aid the Jury in their deliberations on this solemn occasion.
Since the receipt of the above, we learn that the Jury had returned a verdict of NOT GUILTY.—We are informed the trial of the persons indicted for the murder of Paul Chadwick, is in the press and will be published in a few days, when the public will have an opportunity of seeing the evidence which was adduced against the prisoners.
[Ed. Gazette.]
The democrats pray, that Bonaparte may have the same supremacy on the seas that he has on the land; when that is the case, they add, we shall be freed from the shackles which now embarrass our commercial speculations. Pray, what kind of freedom has Bonaparte yielded to the continental powers of Europe?—Ask Switzerland, Austria, Prussia, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, the Italian States and Spain. Here may be seen the monuments of his justice and mercy.—Boston Gaz.
Plain Irish.—In the Baltimore Whig, of the 8th of November, is the following paragraph:—
"As we wish well to man, we wish for the destruction of his greatest pest, the British government, that insatiable Moloch, whose avarice all the gold of the Indies cannot satisfy; whose thirst for blood the sacrifice of millions of human beings cannot slake; whose hatred of liberty is keen as the scent of the blood hound, while one free nation remains on the face of the globe. Such being our sincere opinion, we expressed it the other day in these words—As we wish an end to the infernal government of England, we are glad to behold incapacity and wickedness leading it to swift destruction.—Where is the man of feeling and honesty who has not the same desire?"
This seems to comport pretty well, with what we have repeatedly said, when warning our countrymen against the impudent and pernicious politics of foreigners. These renegades, who have fled from justice in their own countries, steeped with the spirit of rebellion and anarchy, labour incessantly to draw us into all their passions and resentments, and would gladly make us nationally avenge their cause with Great Britain. We have disputes enough of our own to settle with that nation, without taking sides with every Irishman who chooses to flee from his native country, and adopt ours. If we could conveniently rid ourselves of multitudes of them, we should be much better off. But it is to be lamented, that any portion of native citizens, are willing so deeply to degrade themselves, as to patronize such unprompted foreigners, as those, who conduct some of the newspapers in the country.
It is but a few years since the Bonaparte family were inhabitants of the island of Corsica, in humble life, probably not tormented with ambition, nor dreaming of crowns, thrones, or empires. What must be the emotions of mind, with which Madame Letitia, the mother of this strange race, must view the changes which have happened to herself, and her children? Instead of the peaceable pursuits of the farmer, or the shepherd, or whatever employments they were born and nurtured to follow, if her head is not giddy and addled, she must feel a good degree of amazement, as she looks round, & sees one son Emperor of France, and King of Italy, and Tyrant of continental Europe, pulling down from their thrones one generation of monarchs, and creating another, with as much ease and facility, as the merchant buys and sells his commodities, and living at an expense, and in a style of magnificence, which eclipses the splendour of Caiphs and Sultans.—Another of her sons wearing the crown of Holland; a third, that of Westphalia; one of her daughters Queen of Naples; and a second Princess Borghese. In short, a large proportion of the wealth and territory, and almost the whole of the power and dominion of Europe, is in the hands of her offspring. Surely, the good old lady, when she compares the past with the present; when she thinks what she was, and what she is, must stare about, and once in a while ask herself, whether this is all a dream, or a living reality.
"Thus, first of birds, the turkey cock so bold, Around the dung-hill ranging uncontrol'd, With all the pride of self-importance big, Struts, and looks stately at each passing pig; While hens and geese around at distance stare, And wonder who the devil marches there."
[Comm. cor.]
Capt. Field, arrived at Boston, reports that he was boarded on the 13th of November, from the English sloop of war Atalanta, 2 days out from Halifax, bound to Barbadoes, and treated politely. The boarding officers informed, that the brig American, and ship Susquehanna, bound to Teminigen, had been carried in there and condemned; those being the only vessels, sent in; but that they should detain all vessels bound to the same place.

Communication.
FOR THE GAZETTE.
I am glad to see the passions of men subsiding, and reason and good sense resuming their controul over the minds and feelings of our citizens. The deceptive statement in the Intelligencer of the late affair at Washington, together with the prejudice against Mr. Jackson which has been created by the infamous abuse poured out upon his character through the jacobin gazettes, were calculated to dupe the feelings of many good men. The more however we know of the rupture, the more reason have we to suppose it a contrived thing on the part of a war faction, to rouse the passions of the multitude and throw us into the arms of France. The cowardly and skulking editor of the National Intelligencer , after inflaming the minds of the people by his partial if not false statement, seems now to shrink from the consequences, fearing that he has gone so far as to expose the duplicity of his masters, and defeat their object, which we have too much reason to fear is a war with England.
The partizans for war in this State may be divided into two classes—the real “unanointed unannealed” jacobin, whose object is confusion and bloody anarchy, and the calculating speculator, who wishes not for war, but only to excite apprehensions of it in others, that he may profit of their alarms. At the head of this party is an honorable ex-senator, not more distinguished for argument than noise, for truth than declamation, for good actions than professions, for honesty than zeal. The conduct of this self styled patriot during the revolution, when he balanced so well between tory and republican, that no one could say what he was till the issue of it was foreseen, is known to many. His history since the embargo and enforcing system is known to every one. Nor will his elaborate statements, logical reasoning, and eloquent harangues in the senate, in defence of those measures, ever be forgotten. But what he values himself more particularly upon, is his disinterestedness, consistency, pure patriotism, and regard for the laws of his country. The first he discovered by defending the Embargo, a measure which did not put into his coffers more than $250,000, by the rise of merchandise on hand, besides some trifling sums made on the purchase of American produce, at about two thirds its present value. His consistency and regard for truth has been displayed by his having, not many weeks after he declared in public, that if the embargo was raised, he nor any prudent man would not send a vessel to sea, dispatched his fleets to all quarters of the world, before there was any change in the decrees, or settlement made with Mr. Erskine, upon the sales and returns of which, it is supposed, there will be the moderate profit of half a million. His patriotism and regard for the laws of his country remain yet to be proved by the trial of a certain ship, captured on her voyage from the coast of Barbary to Marseilles, under Moorish colours. This man & his party are too wise, or too selfish, to wish for war; their intentions are to discourage further shipments, that theirs may arrive at better markets; to prevent further importations, that their stocks may go off at embargo prices, or to depress domestic produce, that they may buy of the distressed farmer at half its ordinary value. This is the mock-war party who viewing every thing through the medium of their interest, care not what mischief they do, provided they can gratify their insatiable avarice.
Of the jacobins I shall say but little; their intentions have been so long avowed, that no one at this day can be mistaken in their object. Honestus is at the head of this Junta—a wretch in whom nature, inclination, and habit unite to render him worthy the distinguished situation. With audacity sufficient to embolden him to slander the fairest characters in the community; with ingenuity enough to invent falsehoods as fast as the press can circulate them; with boldness and violence to alarm the timid, and courage enough to assassinate those whom he
dare not openly attack—he is preparing to play the same part in the revolution which he contemplates, as Marat, Danton, Robespierre, and other cut-throats of the French revolution. Liberty, equality, and love for the people are his watch words—disorder, pillage & massacre, his objects.
Fellow citizens, I have attempted to unfold the views and objects of the war party, that you may be on your guard against their falsehoods and their arts. I trust I have done it with candour and fairness. If there are among them any good but misguided men, God forbid I should ascribe to them impure motives—I believe they are few in number, & when a full disclosure of the affair at Washington is made, no doubt they will unite with all good men, and with one voice make known to the nation who are artfully playing upon our passions, that we are not to be driven into an embargo or an unnecessary war.
MAINE.
The Mongrel Prince.
This motley noble-boy can boast of more eccentricity of origin than any one extant. There is something so strange in his birth, that he must necessarily become a great man.
Three of the greatest nations on earth, may hereafter contest their property in him. The English will set up the strongest claim, although less meriting so high an honor. The Dutch, and for ought I know the Turks, will also lay a distant claim on the score of pedigree. But he is more immediately of French invention, American conception, and English production.—Democrats! bend the knee—Behold your future lord and master.
QUID NUNC.
Portland,
Monday, December 4, 1809.
In our last, London dates to October 7th, were given—since which, by arrivals at New York and Boston, intelligence to October 21 has been received.
The most important article of information is an official account of the re-establishment of Peace between France and Austria; the conditions of which had not at the last dates been published, but they were understood to be very humiliating to the latter power: the Emperor of Austria being permitted to retain only the two provinces of Hungary and Bohemia.
Bonaparte had recovered his health, and immediately on the settlement of peace was to set out for Paris. Relays of horses were provided on the route in order to expedite his journey.
On the 6th of September, peace was concluded betwixt Russia and Sweden, among the conditions of which, Sweden is to surrender the Grand Duchy of Finland and shut her ports against English ships and manufactures, with permission to import salt and colonial produce only.
A naval force was fitting out in England, to assist the Turks in the Black Sea against the Russians.
No later accounts respecting the war in Spain is received than were published in our last.
Since the conclusion of peace between France and Austria, the idea generally prevailed even in England that Spain must shortly submit to the yoke of French tyranny.
But little mention is made in the English papers of American affairs:—much confidence existed on the success of Mr. Jackson's mission, and our produce was in demand and commanded a high price.
The Marquis de Someruellos is confirmed in the Government of Cuba by the Supreme Junta. He offered to serve as a common soldier in the war for independence.
M. Champagny's Letter
To Gen. Armstrong, published in this day's Gazette, affords proof positive that Bonaparte is determined to persist in the execution of his decrees; which, he says, were issued as retaliatory against England—when the fact is, the British Orders in Council were issued in consequence of the decrees of Bonaparte. The assertion that Bonaparte “magnanimously connives” at our Embargo, go to show that the adoption of that measure was in unison with the views of the French Emperor; and that it was well calculated to aid Bonaparte in his plan of obtaining universal empire.—It will be recollected that Mr. GARDINER, on the floor of Congress, alluding to the democratic policy of stopping commerce, declared that the finger of Napoleon was in that thing.
The French armed schooner Titide , has arrived in Hampton Roads, in 53 days from Bayonne, with despatches for the French Minister, Barre .
The U. S. frigate John Adams , is under sailing orders for foreign service; but neither her object or place of destination is mentioned.
In the English papers, intimations are given of intended negotiations for peace between England and France; but if an opinion may be formed from the declarations and conduct of the governments of both these nations, so desirable an event as the restoration of a general peace in Europe, is not likely to take place soon.
BONAPARTE'S LATE ILLNESS
Is stated to have been a violent fever, accompanied with delirium, which seized him the latter part of August. During the whole of one forenoon when the weather was extremely hot he had been employed in reviewing a division of the army, and giving orders, and just returned to Head Quarters at Schoenbrunne; an Ambassador Extraordinary had just arrived with a letter for the Emperor. Bonaparte, without taking rest, or change of clothes directed the Ambassador to be introduced, and after reading the letter retired with it to the garden, where he remained with his head uncovered more than two hours. The night following he was taken sick, and the next day his disorder became so dangerous that expressions were sent to Paris to the most eminent Physicians. After being confined a month his constitution triumphed over his disease. During this time the army were kept ignorant of his situation.
Bonaparte is expected soon to visit Holland—the situation of that country is represented as truly deplorable. September 28th, 1500 troops were ordered to march from Rotterdam, into the province of East-Friesland, to compel the people to pay their contingent (taxes) which they refused to do, having risen in arms to resist the demand.
CONGRESS. —Last Monday was the day appointed for the meeting of Congress. It is probable a quorum of both branches assembled that day; we may presume the President's Message was communicated on Tuesday last. It had not come to hand when this paper was put to press.
Good News.....New York City Election.
The late election for Charter Officers in New York, has terminated in the triumph of Washington principles. In seven out of the ten wards, the federal ticket was completely successful; so that it has terminated in the election of 16 Federalists and 4 democrats. Last year, the democratic majority in all the wards was 1350; this year the federal majority is 261—making a federal gain of 2211.—For several years past New York has submitted to the democratic and anticommercial policy introduced and fostered by Jefferson and his partizans; which has involved this country, particularly the northern section of it, in innumerable difficulties and embarrassments. But this election having terminated in the triumph of correct principles, is a circumstance from which we predict much good will arise. It shows that the citizens of the first commercial City in the U. S. are aware of the dangers which surround them. They are determined to oppose the Virginian plan of annihilating commerce, and of retiring to the mountains to live like savages. If the Emperor of France has determined that Young Bonaparte, of Baltimore , shall be a king in America, let him have the southern States, (who are so much attached to every French measure) for his empire; he nor his tools in this country will never be able long to dupe a commercial people. New York will form a barrier against the destroying deluge of democracy.

CONSIDERING the alarming situation in which we are placed respecting the lands we possess, and the evils and affecting calamities that have taken place in some parts of our District, in consequence of claimants or pretended proprietors to our lands; the inhabitants of the town of Bethel, did on the 26th of October instant, convene and appoint the undersigned as a Committee to correspond with, or publish in such a manner that our fellow citizens through the District, in similar circumstances, may apprehend the motives of our proceedings, that they may be induced to cooperate with us in some manner to relieve us from the calamity with which we are threatened, and which we have in some measure, ourselves experienced. In the first place we disclaim the idea of opposition to the Constituted Authorities, or the rights of individuals, but look to them for protection.—Claimants are coming on us one after another; and even contending with each other which shall share our lands, and should they recover can give us no title. We therefore request the citizens of Maine to take the matter into consideration, and cooperate with us in devising some measures of redress. We propose that a Committee or Agents be appointed by each town, to meet in convention in some central and proper place, for the purpose of draughting a petition to the Legislature of this Commonwealth, requesting them to take our situation into consideration and afford us that relief which they in their wisdom may conceive most proper.
