FROM THE CENTINEL.
THE INJURED MAN'S SOLOQUY.
CURS'D be the day, and curs'd the hour that bore Thy direful rap to my once happy door: There had I dwelt in peace full many a year, Devoid of guilt, of course devoid of fear, And thought no such hideous rascal near— My unsuspecting heart, with friendship warm, At thy approach had felt no dire alarm— Resting secure, I envied not the great Their boards of wealth, or pow'r in church or state: And when I heard thy well-known rap begin, My dear, said I, pray let the CAPTAIN in— When you were feared by my bland fire side, How blithe and happy did my moments glide! But, Oh! how transitory's human bliss! You Judas-like, betray'd me with a kiss! Robb'd me of all that's near or dear below— And, tho' I thought you friend—you was my foe: Have made me wretched my remaining life— Destroyed the sacred tie 'twixt man and wife! The few remaining hairs which God hath gave You will bring down with sorrow to the grave. Altho' my cup is fill'd to the brim, (Of human woe no more can enter in) [sin] My conscience is clear—and you have all the When I lay down at night, oppress'd with care, I durst to raise my foul to Heaven in prayer: Not to with you—in your ADULTEROUS bed: To Heaven you dare not raise your impious head— Should MORPHEUS deign your languid eyes to close, You cannot find the balm of sweet repose— But direful spectres, present to your fight, Unclose your eyes—& staring with affright You look, for day—but all around is night On morn or eve may you no comfort find, But guilty conscience harrow up your mind: And after death when you are thus interred, May noxious weeds and ev'ry baneful bird Grow round and hover o'er your filthy corse. And may each passenger, as passing, say, (With loorn contemptuous as his head will toss) There lays a villain—and there let him lay.

GENERAL WILKINSON.
Extract of a letter dated New Orleans, April 23d, 1807.
Since I mentioned to you the cir- cumstance of the Affidavits of the two military men from the Mississippi Territory who accompanied Wilkin- son to the Sabine, & who since their return deposed that they saw a quan- tity of specie upon Mules introduced at his quarters in the night from the Spanish camp, other facts have been brought to light which serve strongly to confirm their account. A gentle- man of this city of the highest res- pectability for family character and influence, by birth, I believe, a Casti- lian, was called last winter, soon after the commencement of our dis- turbances, by his business to La Vera Cruz. Upon his arrival he was sent for by the Intendant who asked him what Wilkinson was doing at New Orleans. He answered that he was taking vigorous measures to defeat a conspiracy (as he said) against his own country and a scheme for the invasion of the Spanish Provinces of Mexico, &c. The Intendant then asked this gentleman his opinion of the inhabitants of Louisiana upon that subject. To this he answered, that in the opinion of those who best knew the character of Wilkinson, the whole was an invention of his own for the purpose of his private emol- ument. The Intendant replied he thought so too; and proceeded to in- form the gentleman with whom he had been conversing, the reasons which induced him to entertain such a belief. He said that General Wil- kinson first communicated intelli- gence of the general nature of this plot to Governor Cordero upon the Sabine, and proposed to him that if he would withdraw his forces from that river and prevail upon the Vice King to furnish him (Gen. Wilkin- son) with 300,000 dollars, he would undertake to frustrate the designs of the conspirators and save the Prov- inces of his Catholic Majesty from in- vasion; employing for that purpose the forces and other resources naval and military of the United States. Governor Cordero knowing Wil- kinson to have been for a long time
in the interests of his King, lent a favourable ear to his propositions.— He immediately consented that both armies should retire from the banks of the Sabine. The Spanish force for the purpose of reinforcing their posts on the frontiers of New Mexico, and the American troops to defend the passes of the Mississippi. He also dis- patched couriers to the Vice King in the city of Mexico, and furnished Wilkinson forthwith, with 120,000 dollars, which was sent from St. An- tone upon Mules. The Intendant further informed this gentleman, that before the arrival of Cordero's dis- patches the Vice King was by no means inclined to place full confi- dence in Wilkinson, and refused to transmit 180,000 dollars, the balance of the sum which Cordero had un- dertaken to promise him. Soon after this refusal, the Intendant, said that Wilkinson dispatched a confident- ial Aid-de-camp, Captain Burling, to Mexico, with further proofs of the conspiracy, and with further dis- closures relating to the part taken in it, by the inhabitants of the Spanish Provinces, and with a request for the immediate payment of the 180,000 dollars to Gen. Wilkinson. The Vice King refused to receive the in- formation from Burling, and refer- red him for the payment of the mon- ey to the Intendant at La Vera Cruz, for which place he immediately or- dered him to depart. "Upon his ar- rival here," said the Intendant, "I refused to furnish him with anything but a guard, and ordered him to take his passage immediately for New Or- leans." When the gentleman to whom this was spoken returned to this place 2 or 3 weeks ago, he men- tioned the circumstances and the sub- stance of this conversation to some of his friends, who immediately gave it circulation. It at last reached the hesitation he was compelled after some notice of it. He sent an officer to the gentleman with three written in- terrogatories, to which he requested an answer in writing. 1st. He de- manded whether he had authorized the report of such a conversation with the Intendant at La Vera Cruz. 2d. Whether such conversation actually took place of the nature and at the time reported, and 3d. Whether he believed the relation of the Intendant to be true. To each of which, this gentleman answered by a laconick yes! and he has since heard nothing fur- ther from the General.—From the weight of this gentleman's name and character, as well as from a thousand other corroborating circumstances, his report is almost universally ac- credited. For my own part, I confess I believe every title of it, and I absolutely begin to entertain compass- ion for the wretch who is the sub- ject of it; for it would seem that he is now cut off from all retreat—even to the Spaniards. And so ends the triple game he undertook to play. [N. Y. Ev. Post.]
Laughable. —One of our vulgar democratic prints, after the example of Duane, has undertaken to give out a Political Dictionary , or "a brief explanation of some words not always correctly understood." It thus states the definition of " Amiable :"
" AMIABLE —The private character of Mr. Jefferson—as much so as his public conduct is useful"—[Here the goblin has hit the nail on the head— but he goes on and adds further]— the forbearance and moderation uni- formly displayed by republicans (mean- ing democrats) towards their oppo- nents."
I'll bet a counter said a sharp eyed fellow, standing by, "that that there jockey who talks so queer, has got some office, robbed by " Amiable Republican moderation " from one of his political "opponents."
As a specimen of the " amiable moderation of democrats to their op-
ponents" the maker of this biting sarcasm on his party, just before he gives this definition of amiable , thus speaks of his political opponents:—
"They [the Federalists] seem to have taken the fallen Angels for their pattern, and they [the Federalists] act the part of devils to the very life ."
Now there is something so very amiable and moderate too, in the spirit which dictated this description of Federalists, that we cannot help ad- miring the ingenuity and justice of the writer, in ascribing such amiable and such moderation to Jefferson and Democracy . The fact is he has a "full view of the whole ground." [Tren. Fed.]
THE MILLENNIUM.
The Happy day has at length ar- rived, when we shall enjoy all the benefits that Democracy can bestow. It will soon be ascertained whether our burdens will be diminished, our taxes abolished, our harvests grow more abundant, our food afford a more exquisite relish, or our pains of body be wholly prevented. We certain- ly shall gain nothing by this change, unless our new rulers effect all these things. For many years past our government has been ad- ministered with a great degree of prudence, wisdom and integrity; as can be found in a state of humanity. Whence then the present change? Burke, in the following extract, ex- plains the means by which discontent are propagated, and revolutions pro- duced:
"It is an observation which I think tations against the sophists, that it is far more easy to maintain a wrong cause, and to support paradoxical op- inions to the satisfaction of a com- mon auditor, than to establish a doubtful truth by solid and conclusive arguments, when men find that some- thing can be said in favor of what, on the very proposal, they have thought utterly indefensible, they grow doubtful of their own reason; they are thrown into a sort of pleas- ing surprize; they run along with the speakers, charmed and captivated to find such a plentiful harvest of reasoning, when all seemed barren and unpromising. This is the fairy land of promise. And it very fre- quently happens, that those pleasing impressions on the imagination sub- sist and produce their effect, even after the understanding has been dis- satisfied of their unsubstantial natures. There is a sort of glos upon inge- nious falsehoods, that dazzles the im- agination, but which neither belongs to, nor becomes the sober aspect of truth. There is an air of plausibility, which accompanies vulgar reasonings and notions, taken from the beaten circles of ordinary experience, that is admirably suited to the narrow ca- pacities of some, and to the laziness of others."—Pallad.
Let it be remembered, that the motion for rescinding the Provisos in my commonly called the Standing Army, was made by Gen. Smith, while a member of the House of Rep- resentatives, the same gentleman who, during the last Session of Con- gress, moved to increase the State of Alabama . A few years ago at my first visit and to our the hearts of the people for hero- crats; but now when some demo- crats are used to State military pow- to prostrate civil authority, and are to State , and enjoy such privi- ges, as our State — Ibid .

The Emperor Alexander, and King of Prussia, who have been at Memel, will visit the army in the vicinity of Konigsburg. A Prussian corps was embarking at Memel to reinforce Dantzic.
APRIL 20, 1807. The Swedes have taken Swinemunde, by the aid of gun-boats. All the rumors of Armistices, Pacific Negotiations, &c. have completely vanished. Talleyrand, it is said is shortly going to Berlin.
PARIS, APRIL 10, 1807.
Five legions of conscripts, each legion to consist of 6000 men, to be commanded by a Senator, are to be stationed at Lille, Mentz, Rennes, Versailles, and Grenoble. Each legion is to have but one eagle, (or standard) and the uniform is to be that of the line. The ostensible object of these establishments is the protection of the interior, the frontiers and sea coast.
M. Desgenetier, Inspector-General of Hospitals, is ordered to join the Grand Army.
From a London paper.
The Emperor of China, with the characteristic wisdom of his ancestors, has replied to one of Bonaparte's agents sent to stimulate him to make war with Russia—"We maintain ourselves, and stay at home." It would be well if a brother Emperor were to put himself in a situation, when he could, with truth, make the same declaration.
TURKEY.
The spirit of rebellion, which has caused such troubles in Servia, is now extended to the province of Bosnia. By authentic accounts from Sarajevo, a great rebellion broke out in the month of Feb. of the Catholic Christians against the Turks. The misfortune was occasioned by the Commandants of the fortresses who had concerted to kill the Bishop, all the Clergy, and all the Christians, to plunder the convents & dwellings of the Christians, and to divide the spoil. Orders were already given to the Janissaries to murder all the Christians, when two Priests escaped, and informed their brethren in the neighbourhood of Sarajevo of their imminent danger. The dreadful news spread like wildfire through the whole country; the Christians resolved secretly to arm themselves. In one night they fell on the Turks, and made a terrible massacre. The Christians in the Turks, it was not difficult for them to execute their purpose: 8000 Turks, including women and children, are said to have perished.

Miscellany.
A case for consideration. —Suppose the lord lieutenant of Ireland should send to a military officer commanding at Sligo, to arrest an inoffensive and respectable young Irishman, while quietly pursuing his professional business. In consequence of this order, suppose the young gentleman should be seized by a file of soldiers; hurried away without the knowledge of his friends; confined in a wretched hovel infested with rats and toads; at length sent on board a crazy boat and transported in the dead of winter, to Liverpool, in England; in the mean time denied the use of pen and ink, and all other means of communicating with his friends; on his landing suppose him carefully secreted to avoid his being reached by a habeas corpus writ; there suppose him taken before a judge to be examined, and instantly discharged without an accusation of any kind being brought against him, and left to find his way home at his own expence. Suppose it should afterwards appear the only reason which could be given by the government for these wicked acts of oppression was that the young man had been applied to in his professional capacity to advise and assist certain persons who had before been rendered the objects of similar outrage contrary to all law and to every principle of justice. What would be thought, what ought to be thought in this land of liberty of a government under which such enormities could be committed with impunity? With what patriotic ardour would all our republican editors (and with good reason too) cry out against such wicked acts of the British tyrants? After having contemplated this picture, let the reader turn to the conduct of Mr. Jefferson, the friend of the people, in the case of young Mr. Alexander of New-Orleans, which will be found to differ from the supposed case only in its greater enormity, inasmuch as the distance from New Orleans to Baltimore is much greater than from Sligo to Liverpool, and that in his passage Mr. Alexander ran the eminent hazard of falling into the hands of the Spaniards, who, had they taken him under the impression of his being concerned in an expedition against Mexico, would have sent him to the mines to drag out a more wretched existence than the once miserable inhabitants of the Bastille.
It is a miserable subterfuge in the democrats to say that the numerous outrages of this kind which have been committed are the acts, not of government but of gen. Wilkinson. Gen. Wilkinson is as perfectly under the control of the executory as any clerk in any one of the departments, and, it is not to be supposed that he would usurp such enormous powers without the approbation of the government whose pleasure he holds his commission. But this objection is effectually silenced by the president himself, who in one of his messages to congress, applauded in the highest manner, the general's conduct.— U. S. Gaz.
The officers of a British cutter have behaved with much insolence towards
the masters, &c. of several vessels near Passamaquoddy Bay. The Passamaquoddy divides the British from the American territory—and though the ignorance, impudence or indiscretion of officers disputes may unfortunately often arise there. It is probable the British vessel was a revenue cutter, as the British pretend much smuggling is carried on near the Bay.—Disagreeable as the affair is, we hope we may be permitted to doubt, that the cutter acted under any special instructions from the British Cabinet Council! or that she has been sent from England on purpose to prove to us either British friendship or British enmity!— Pat.
"De novelty of de ting" says the Newburyport Herald, induces us to publish the following advertisement from the Connecticut Courant of last week.
"Thomas Hutchins has advertised, that I have absented myself from his bed and board , and forbid all persons trusting me on his account, and cautioned all persons against making me any payment on his account; I now advertise the public that the said Thomas Hutchins came as a fortune hunter into this town about a year ago, with a recommendation, which with some artful falsehoods induced me to marry him, and take him into my house and bed , from which his brutality has drove me with wounds and bruises; he has threatened my life, kept me by force from entering my house to take any of my cloathing, money or other property; he has also forcibly detained the chest, money and property of my sister; his fears that any body will trust him are vain, as I will not pay his debts; some debts due to me when I married, will not be paid to him; I have never heard that any body owed him a debt, if they do they had better pay him immediately, as he will want it, for I shall maintain him no longer.—Of the four wives he had before me, the last three quarrelled away, how the other three came by their deaths, he can best inform the public—but I caution all widows or maidens against marrying him, be their desire for matrimony ever so strong. Should he make his advances under a feigned name, they may look out for a little strutting, talkative, feeble, meagre, hatchet faced fellow, with spindle shanks, and a little warp'd in the back!
"THANKFUL HUTCHINS."
East-Windsor, May 22, 1807.
A Gentleman and his wife were reduced from a life of splendor and luxury (by unavoidable losses of the former in trade) to a more modest living. He had been for many years either extremely captious and unkind, of morose and gloomy, and it was a lively reply of his affectionate partner that caused a change in his temper and behavior, more than a counterbalance, in her eyes, for their peculiar misfortune. "Wife," said he, one morning, "my affairs are embarrassed, and it is absolutely necessary that I should curtail my establishment. I should like to have your opinion as to the reduction." He spoke this in a more gentle tone than usual; and the amiable woman, taking advantage of what appeared a favorable opportunity, approached him with an engaging smile, and tenderly squeezing his hand, said, "My dear husband, I shall be perfectly happy in you will get rid of the unlucky , and let us remain the sociable ."
The following infamous paragraph originated in The Imperial Observer , a democratic paper published at Richmond. That General Eaton, emphatically styled "the hero of Derne," should have received such a salutation on his arrival at the Capital of Virginia , is a disgrace to that City.—We trust its inhabitants will be solicitous to wipe away the stigma:— N. Y. Spectator.
"TO THE CURIOUS AND INQUISITIVE. Soon will be seen in this city, A PAIR OF GENERALS."
"The one is already arrived: the other is said still to be traversing and doubling about in a wild stormy ocean, his friends being apprehensive that he may possibly be swallowed up by the gulph stream. tho' his enemies insist upon it, that such a bag of froth would float a thousand miles without sinking. The one took the town of New-Orleans from with-in : The other seized the town of Derne from without . What astonishing gallantry—Bravissimo!—The one is a man of rank and honor —the other is a soldier of fortune , whose goddess has lately smiled upon him and prevented him from being lodged in a prison.—If Gen. E. says that Gen. W. has behaved like a d—r in the affair which is hanging over Col. Burr—Quere, what will the redoubtable hero of the south say, of the conduct of the valiant knight of the north? The general who is now here may be distinguished by several characteristic and peculiar circumstances, one of which is, that he is generally alone, both in the streets and out of them: From which it is presumed either that he looks with contempt upon common citizens, or that they look with contempt upon him.—Possibly, however, they may only avoid him as a man dangerous in every stage."

Foreign News.
ON Thursday we received by the John and Adam, capt. Knight, from Liverpool, London dates to May the 5th.
No event of importance has taken place between the Grand French and Russian Armies in Poland since the battle of Eylau. It appears as if each army were apprehensive of exposing itself to the attack of the other.
The Emperor Alexander has joined his army and Gen. Beningsen still retains the confidence and countenance of his sovereign.
The English Squadron under Admiral Duckworth, has repassed the Dardanelles, after having been unsuccessful in their attempt against the Capital of the Turkish Empire; the fleet in passing through the straights, destroyed one Turkish ship of the line, and five frigates.
While the English Admiral was endeavouring to negotiate the Turks assisted by French engineers, erected batteries, which greatly endangered his fleet; some of which threw stones of 800 pounds.
The Swedes, after having obtained several advantages over the French general Mortier, have, in turn, been defeated by his division, and driven back with the loss of 1500 men taken, and several pieces of cannon. After this affair the Swedish commander proposed an armistice which has been signed, subject to the ratification of the King of Sweden, which, if he delays or refuses, is to expire in ten days. The two principal articles of the armistice, proposes that the Islands of Wiedom and Wollin, are to be taken possession of and occupied by the French—and that the Swedes shall not oppose the sieges of Dantzic and Colberg.
Whether these events, if correct, will lead to a peace between Sweden and France, is impossible to say, it is idle to suppose the former power, however spirited, can long contend with the latter.
Dantzic is garrisoned by 30,000 men under the command of Gen. Kalkreuth. The inhabitants momentarily expect the bombardment will commence. The streets have been unpaved and strewed with straw, &c. to prevent the balls from rebounding.
The Turks are making preparations to carry on the war with Russia with an army of French.
The most friendly understanding still subsists between the King of England and the Emperor of Russia.
It is stated that the King of Prussia has restored Baron Hardenberg, an avowed enemy of Bonaparte, to favor, and placed him at the head of the war department; this does not look like peace.
In England the approaching election of members to the new Parliament engrosses the principal attention.
We do not find any thing official respecting Sir Sidney Smith's having taken possession of Alexandria, (Egypt)
The following were the positions of the hostile armies on the 10th April. The Russian head-quarters were at Bartenshein; Count Tolstoy at Heilsberg; Prince Bagration with the van near Gutstadt; Gen. Lestocq in Heiligenbeil. Bonaparte had his head-quarters still at Finkenstein, Bernadotte's corps was at Braunsberg, Ebing, and Holland; Soult in and near Leibstadt; Ney in and near Gutstadt; Davoust at Dettenstadt; Massena in Pollusk. Thorn was the grand depot of the army.
The Emperor Alexander, on joining his army, made numerous promotions, and distributed medals, &c. among the deserving soldiery.
Affairs in Louisiana still wear a squally appearance. Governor Claiborne is extremely unpopular both with the legislature and inhabitants; discontent and mistrust is exhibited in the countenances and actions of all.
At a meeting of the Orleans Rangers, at Madam Fourage's, Capt. Ross resigned to them the appointment, to which they had elected him nearly 3 years ago; representing to them, that from the late conduct of governor Claiborne, towards him, he could not reconcile to his feelings the holding of a commission which had his signature. [ N. Orleans pap. ]
BURR'S TRIAL.
The great comic state farce of Burr's trial still hangs on. The jury is dismissed, and adjourned from day to day on account of the non-arrival of Gen. Wilkinson; who appears to be the pivot on which this mighty affair is to turn.
The southern papers contain the arguments of Col. Burr, and his council to the Court, but they are too lengthy for insertion in a weekly journal.
A political society, established in Louisiana, united to oppose the Jeffersonian system of military despotism in that region, have passed votes of approbation of the Congressional conduct of Mr. John Randolph; and of the House of Representatives, in refusing to concur with an infatuated Senate, in suspending the writ of Habeas Corpus. [ Central. ]
We understand the Legislature of this state was to be prorogued on Saturday last.
COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT.
Mr. Forbes, American Consul in Hamburg, under date of the 6th April, 1807, says "I have now to add the agreeable news that the navigation of the coast, from Tonnigen here is permitted by the English, and hopes are entertained that in a short time we shall have a modification of our blockade. Ade by the English, which will permit neutral vessels coming from neutral places to enter this river except such as may be loaded with provisions and other articles necessary for the French armies. The present times are difficult, but the general consolation is, that the crisis is past and we hope things are on the mending hand. A regulation has been made by Marshal Brune, touching foreign trade, and producing protection to neutrals; such as arrive from the United States, will not be subject even to the accustomed visits by the French Consul, and unless they have touched in England, will be admitted an unmolested entry.—It is said that already licences are freely granted by the English government for neutral vessels laden with colonial produce to enter the river and proceed as far as Glickstadt."

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! WHEN the attention of the public is solicited by the author of a recent discovery, and in declaring its virtues he becomes the patentist of his own merits, he will usually incur the imputation of vanity; but it is not impossible that with such a defect, more noble qualities may be united.—I suggest, therefore, of judging liberally respecting the motives of those who make themselves the heroes of their own tale, though 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 reflection.

Improved Jaundice Bitters; OR THE Grand Antibilious Corrective.
The Jaundice is discovered by want of appetite, coivuliveness, dullness and oppression, at times an irresistible propensity for sleep, and at others, too great watchfulness, a yellowness is by degrees diffused over the complexion, tinged the urine, and whole mass of the fluids are infected with bilious secretions and in process of time the blood acquires a tendency to dissolution and putrefaction; in these cases it either degenerates into a dropsy or ends in an apoplexy. A discharge by urine 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 bowels; to accomplish 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 coivuliveness, and in an oppressed and weak stomach. They are gratefully warm and pungently aromatic; expel wind in the easiest manner, without in-moderately heating or inflaming the bowels; they are extremely serviceable in all seasons, but in the course of my practice I have proved them particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bilious habits experience such a total loss of appetite, listlessness and oppression; in such instances, by the application of this remedy the stomach is invariably fortified, appetite and digestion effectually promoted, and plentiful perspiration produced. They possess moreover 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 passages, they are singularly serviceable in dropsies, 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 calculated for sea-faring persons, to whose attention they are respectfully recommended. Persons leading sedentary inactive lives, are most subject to these complaints. All, therefore, in such situations, though not immediately aware of inconveniences, would act wisely by securing a continuance of health, by means of this generous stomachic, as well as all epi-curiers and bon vivants who wish for a delicious and delicate preparation for the appetite the best companion at the festive board.
