Poetry.
[Incessantly called upon, as we are, by poetasters and pseudo-critics, to prostrate our taste at the shrine of gew-gaw diction and vapid thought, it is with delight we seize upon the following truly exquisite production. In this poem, ardor of feeling, and vigor of intellect are presented to us, in language fresh from the "pure well of English undefiled." All is strength, illumination and beauty. To the admirers and imitators of the voluptuous poetry of Moore, we would observe that here is poetry, as warm as love can wish, and yet wholly free from every attempt to undermine the moral basis of society: A proof that there is no necessary connection, whatever his votary's may believe, between the amatory and the vicious.]
MADRIGAL.
Say, didst thou sleep, or wake, my love, When yestermight, by Bacchus fired, I clasp'd thee, loose and unattired; And circling all thy heav'n of charms With mannerless, unlicensed arms, Transported into madness, strove To paint by many a burning kiss, My keen enjoyment of the ravisht bliss?
Thou didst not speak—scarce stirr'd thy breath— Thy twins of sight, those starry peers, Lay veil'd within their secret spheres; Thy pretty hands no motion made To check my lips, howe're they stray'd; All senses pass'd as in a death! So fix'd a stillness seem'd to prove Thou were unconscious, and didst sleep, my love.
Yet ah! where 'er my gaze presum'd, Methought, to curb the lawless eye There watch'd a living Modesty That pierc'd thy sleek and silken veins With red involuntary stains, Till all thy form like roses bloom'd! Southern lights with shifting glow O'erflay reflecting worlds of unsunn'd snow! Nay, more, as oft I wildly press'd, Methought so oft, a tell-tale smile In dimples would thy mouth beguile; And oft the sob of pleasure stole, With faint, fond murmur from the soul— Do smiles and sobs betoken rest? I doubt—one word can doubt remove— Say, prythee, didst thou sleep or wake, my love!

Trial of Col. Burr.
RICHMOND, AUGUST 18.
Commodore Truxton's Testimony.
About the winter of 1805-6, Col. Burr returned from the western country, and came to Philadelphia. He frequently in conversation mentioned to me certain speculations in western lands. These conversations were uninteresting to me—and I did not pay much attention to them. Col. B. observed that he wished he could get the navy of the U. S. out of my hands, as he had something in view, both honorable and profitable, which he wished to disclose to me. I considered this as nothing more than a desire to get me interested in land speculations. These conversations were frequently repeated; and sometime in the month of July, 1806, he stated that he wished to see me unwedded from the navy of the United States, and to think no more of those men at Washington; that he wished to see or make me (I do not recollect which) an admiral, as he contemplated an expedition into Mexico, in the event of a war with Spain, which he thought inevitable. He asked me if the Havanna could not be easily taken in the event of a war. I told him that it would require the co-operation of a naval force. Mr. Burr observed, that might be obtained. He pursued the enquiry as to Carthagena and La Vera Cruz; what personal knowledge I had of those places, and what would be the best mode of attacking them by sea or land. I gave my opinion very freely.—Mr. Burr then asked me if I would take the command of a naval expedition. I asked him, if the executive of the U. States was privy to, or concerned in, the project. He answered emphatically, that they were not. I asked him that question, because the Executive had been charged with knowledge of Miranda's expedition. I told Mr. Burr that I would have nothing to do with it; that Miranda's project had been intimated to me, and that I had declined any agency in those affairs. Mr. Burr observed, that in the event of a war he intended to establish an independent government in Mexico; that Wilkinson, the army, and many officers of the navy would join. I replied that I could not see how any officers of the navy would join. He said that General Wilkinson had projected the expedition, and that he himself had matured
it; and many greater men than Wilkinson were concerned (or would join;) and thanks to the westward.
Mr. Hay. Do you recollect, whether he said that Gen. W. had seriously joined it? A. Yes, he said so; and many greater men. Mr. Hay. I will ask you, first, whether at that time you were in the service of the United States? A. I was declared not to be. Mr. Hay. I wish not to wound your feelings, commodore, by my question—but it is necessary to account to the jury, for the application which was thus made to you by the accused. Did you not feel yourself hurt at this declaration? A. I certainly did.
Mr. Burr asked me if I would not write to Gen. Wilkinson, as he was about to dispatch two couriers to him. I told him that I had no subject to write on, and declined writing. Mr. Burr observed, that several officers would be pleased at being under my command. He spoke highly of a lieutenant Jones, and asked me whether he had not failed with me. I answered him that he had not; and that I could give no account of him, as I never had seen him. Mr. Burr observed that the expedition could not fail; that the Mexicans were ripe for revolt; and that he was incapable of any thing chimerical or that could lead his friends into a dilemma. He showed me the draft of a peremptory, such as plays between Powle's Hook and New-York; and asked me whether they were adapted to the Mississippi river and the waters emptying into it. I gave my opinion that they were. He asked me whether I could get a naval constructor to make several copies of the draft. I spoke to a naval constructor; but he could not make them as soon as they were wanted, and I returned the draft. Mr. Burr told me, he wanted those boats for the conveyance of agricultural products to New Orleans, and in the event of a war for transports. I knew they were not calculated for transports by sea, nor were they calculated for carrying guns; but having determined not to have any thing to do with the Mexican project, I said very little about the boats. But in the latter end of the month of July, I told him there would be no war with Spain. He seemed very sanguine, that there would. He said however, that disappointed in that, that he was on a bargain for a large tract on the Ouachita; that he intended to invite his friends about him to settle it; that in one year he would have 1000 families of fashion and some of property, who would constitute a charming society; that in two years there would be double the number; and that being on the frontier he would be ready to march immediately whenever a war took place. I have endeavored to narrate these several conversations verbatim as they passed; I am not positive however, that they are; but my statements are at least the substance of what did pass.
Questioned by the Prosecution.
Mr. Hay. Did these conversations take place after the declaration that you were no longer in the service of the U. S.? A. The whole of them—(Col. Carrington, one of the jury. Did they take place in July? A. Yes. I observed to him, there would be no war, though I don't there was great cause for it)—Mr. Hay. Had you expressed your dissatisfaction at this procedure? A. Yes; frequently.—Q. I believe that you made some publication on the subject? A. I did. Q. Your first conversations were about building bridges, settling lands, &c.? A. Yes; when Col. B. first returned from the westward. Mr. M'Rae. He did not expect to see his designs respecting the Ouachita land, till he had discovered your attention to the Mexican project? A. He had not spoken particularly about the Ouachita land; but previously about speculation in western lands generally. Mr. Wirt. Did he say at the latter end of July that he was about concluding a bargain for the Ouachita land? A. I think so. Mr. Hay. When he proposed to make you an Admiral, did not the thought strike you; how he was to accomplish this? Mr. B. denied that commodore T. had said that Mr. B. had promised to make him an admiral.—Com. Truxton. Mr. Burr told me he wished to make or to see me one. I do not particularly recollect which was his expression. He said there was a formidable navy to be established.—Mr. H. From what quarter of the world was the expedition by sea to go? A. I do not know. I did not ask him, where it was to go from. Mr. H. Did you understand that you were to command the expedition by sea? A. Yes; but I declined and asked no questions particularly on the subject. Mr. Baker. I understand you to say, that the navy was to have been erected, after the government was to be established? A. Yes. Mr. M'Rae. Did he not talk of a naval expedition against Havanna? A. I told Mr. Burr that Havanna could not be taken without a naval force. He said, that could be obtained.
Cross-questioned.
Mr. Burr. Did I not say, I had never seen Lt. Jones? A. I do not recollect that. You spoke highly of him. Q. Do you not recollect I stated, if there was a war, that private enterprise and private expeditions would be lawful? (Mr. Hay objected to the question because seemingly intended for the jury.) Q. Did I not often talk several years ago about naval concerns? Did I not say, that you were duped by the Smith's and others? That they had no serious intentions of serving you? Was not that the reason, that I wished to unweave you from the navy? A. You did state those facts. Q. Do you not find that I was right about your advance in the navy? A. I know that. Q. Did I not often talk to you about the settlement of lands? A. You did. Q. Were we not intimate? Yes. Q. Was there any reserve between us? A. None.
Q. Did you ever hear me say any thing about dismembering the union; or seizing on New Orleans? A. Never. Q. Did I not often express the pleasure I should feel from doing service to the common interests of this country; and of preferring a strong connection with my countrymen? A. You did. Q. Did I not say that the peremptory would be useful for the conveyance of agricultural products? A. Yes; and in war for transports. Q. Had you reason to doubt my intention to settle lands? A. If there was no war, I took for granted that such was your intention. Q. If there was a war, and Mexico was invaded, and the government favored it, would you not have joined me? A. I would have got out of my bed at twelve at night, to fight against England, France and Spain if my country had called.
Mr. M'Rae. Did he speak of any commercial speculations in which he was about to engage; or of any commercial establishments he was about to form? A. He spoke of the settlement of the Ouachita; and the bringing down of agricultural produce. Q. Were the remarks which he made on your relation to the navy, calculated to fill your bosom with resentment? A. My bosom was already full enough, but certainly Mr. Burr spoke in concert with my feelings. Mr. Hay. Could an expedition as a sea be made as effectually against La Vera Cruz from any other port in the western world, as New Orleans? A. Certainly not. It would be a very proper place, or from any place above the river. Larger vessels cannot get up to New Orleans; and small craft must take the expedition down. Mr. Parker, (one of the jury.) Did you understand for what purpose the two couriers were sent by col. B to gen. Wilkinson? A. I understood that there was an undertaking between them about the Mexican project. Mr. Burr. Are there not preparations now making in Philadelphia, in contemplation of a war with England? A. In New-York there are. Mr. M'Rae. Are not the preparations going on openly? Has any commander been appointed independent of the government? A. No. Mr. Bots. Can ships be built secretly in a corner of a room? A. No.
Intelligence.
The Chesapeake Pirate.
Amidst the uncertainty of report, we are happy to be enabled to lay before the public the following concise statement of facts.
The boat which boarded the Othello, was purchased and fitted out in this city by four Frenchmen, and her crew consisted chiefly of deserters from the Patriot and L'Eole. They sailed from this port on the night of the 1st of August, in pursuit, as they alleged of an English brig then supposed to be in the Bay, bound out; not finding the brig, they were afraid to proceed to sea on account of the British ships of war off the Capes, and returned up the Bay. The Othello, they say, was represented to them as British property, but discovering the error, they were induced to give her up. The captain who was part owner, and two other owners, with a sailor, fled on board the Patriot, (having made their escape from the boat just before she was taken possession of by the volunteers from this city) where they were secured, and sent by the Commodore, under guard of Lieutenant Calhoun, to the French Minister who immediately directed they should be delivered over to the civil authority; they were then received by the Register of the City [the Mayor being sick] and by him committed to prison.
The crew originally consisted of 21 persons—12 are in confinement, and a search is making after the remainder.
Capt. Comegys returned this morning from the Patriot of 74 guns; he has politely informed us that he was treated with the greatest attention by commodore Krohn and his officers, who knew nothing of the affair of the Othello, until Friday evening last. Commodore Krohn indignantly disclaims all kind of connection with the Pirate.—Baltimore paper Sept. 1.

Department of State, Aug. 21 1807.
EXTRACT FROM A LETTER.
"I am on the point of renouncing politics, and turning my attention wholly to moral and literary subjects. I am sick of proclamations, gun-boats, torpedoes, and all the arts with which a baby administration amuse and delude the people. I am seriously afraid that the spirit of the nation is broken, and that it can with difficulty, if ever be recovered. All the meetings, resolutions, offerings of volunteers, hard expressions, and burning in effigies, pass with me as worse than nothing. Such are not tokens of that spirit which will make a determined, effectual, and persevering resistance to foreign aggressions, but of weakness, madness or folly.
"What can be the reason of so much pains taken to provoke a war, when no means of defence are provided? Is it intended that we may fall an easy prey to the power provoked? Or is the scheme to gratify another power, and throw ourselves into its grasp? I remember the fate of Switzerland, of Holland of Venice, &c. and fear that "this world was made for Caesar." Could I see my countrymen putting themselves into a respectable state of defence against the British nation, or any other (for there should be no distinction) I would have hope; but at present I am almost in despair.
"Whether we are to have war or peace, I see no prospect of a remedy for our misfortunes. The nation in either event is degraded, and may be ruined. In case of war, we must begin it without preparation; and in case of peace, we must obtain it by submission, or a protracted and senseless negotiation. To call in the aid of France, is so devilish a project, and would consign us to such slavery and chains, that helpless and abject as our administration has made the people, they would refuse their consent.
"The only remedies which offer but are not likely to be applied, are either to build a sufficient navy, at this late and unfortunate day; or to call into office the wisdom and virtue of the country. Will the people do these things? I am afraid that they will not. Piddling politicians have spread among them an infatuation more general than the influenza and more deadly than the yellow fever. Nothing but the blasts and storms of adversity can check the dire disease!"—Balance.
A poor man had an affair that puzzled him, and he much wished to have the advice of a neighboring lawyer. "Indeed, my friend," said the lawyer, (not expecting any great fee from the man's appearance,) "your affair is so intricate, I cannot see where to begin." The man took the hint, and giving him two half guineas, all he had, "there's a pair of spectacles for you, sir."

Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, JULY 23.
FROM THE BANKS OF THE ELBE.
"to return to a serious reflection upon the threatening prospect of an union between Russia and France. The incalculable evil of such an occurrence, you will say, is equalled only by the improbability of its taking place. Alas! we live in an age of wonders, and our faculty of feeling astonishment is nearly exhausted. To me, I must confess, such an incident does not appear so very surprising or improbable. I would not willingly do injustice to the amiable and generous Alexander, whose domestic virtues are universally acknowledged, whose internal government has evinced humanity, liberality, and justice, and whose public measures have hitherto been worthy his Imperial title and station. His war against France partook of a generous spirit; he had nothing immediate to gain or to lose in the contest; nor could we impute to him either motives than generous zeal for the cause of European liberty. Shall we therefore precipitately suspect him capable of uniting on a sudden with the foe against whom he had displayed so fixed and honorable an hostility? Nem. repente fuit turpissimus , is a truth founded on invariable and infallible observation; but who can foresee the effects of court intrigue? Who can calculate the result of illusion? Alexander is environed by the guards, the agents, the ministers of Napoleon. He sits at the same table, and drinks of the same cup! It is doubtless true that indignation, that resentment, that hate, cannot be suddenly quenched in the human bosom; but it is less difficult to conduct and to turn them upon other objects. The sorrow, the mortification, which the Emperor of Russia must feel, dwelling in the head-quarters of the French army cannot be repressed; but they may be dexterously employed to work upon his mind and produce that sentiment against England which he had a few hours before had felt against Napoleon. I know, at least, that persons allied to the Emperor of Russia, and little disposed to hazard a political opinion opposite to those of their Imperial protector, have not scrupled to indulge in open declarations against the English, since, the battle of Friedland, which they hardly dared to whisper before. One might have hoped these suggestions would at length be terminated, for the sincerity of the English Government is at length proved, by the actual arrival of the long expected expedition. Alas! this assistance, which was a few months since loudly called for as the salvation of Europe, is now become a word of mockery and scorn!"
By the Sails.
HALIFAX, AUG. 14.
The following information is derived from a very respectable source; and the reconciliation of Bonaparte with Moreau—together with the well known fact of the latter being now actually employed by the American Government,* leave no room to doubt, that the outline of the plan is correctly given; though the vigilance of the British Government may easily destroy it in the bud—or completely prevent its accomplishment.
PARTITION OF AMERICA.
"The Correspondence of Talleyrand and General Moreau, which caused such furnaces at New-york in February last, is at length developing; and we can scarcely be surprised at the events which have since followed;—
"Bonaparte & Moreau are reconciled.
"If Moreau can persuade America to break with England, 10,000 French troops are, in conjunction with the Americans, to drive the English from the continent—Canada and Nova-Scotia are to be erected into a Monarchy; and Moreau to be crowned King of Acadie and both the Canadas. America is to have the Floridas, as well as Louisiana; and the Island of Porto Rico, or some other valuable West-India Island, to be given up to them.
"The Government of America not having sufficient energy, by the present constitution, the President to be supported in his endeavours to change it, and a new form of Legis-
lature adopted; in which the Chair is to be assumed for life.
"The only difficulty is stated by the American Government to arise from the Northern States; who might be averse to such a neighbour as the Kingdom of Acadie and Canada, governed by a Frenchman; but this may possibly be overcome—if the war with England can be made a popular one.
"Authenticity of this intelligence cannot be doubted; and the Americans who are now loudly crying out for a war with England, may know how completely they have been made the tools of France and its pensioners."
* MOREAU is not employed by the American government. The Halifax editor probably suspected so, from his visiting the forts in New-york harbor with the Secretary of War; but he was merely an invited person, who more particularly received that compliment from being a military character.
COURT MARTIAL
HALIFAX, AUG. 28.
On Wednesday last a, Court Martial was held on board H. M. S. Bellisle, Rear Admiral Sir A. F. Cochrane, K. B. Capt. N. C. Cochrane, for the trial of John Wilson, alias Jenkin Ratford, (lately taken from the American frigate Chesapeake) on charges of Defection Mutiny and Contempt .
PRESIDENT
Rear-Admiral Hon. Sir A. F. Cochrane, K. B.
Capt. F. Piekmore, capt J. E. Douglas, W. Fahie, P. Beaver, F. Hawker, N. D. Cochrane,
It clearly appeared on the trial, that the prisoner was born in London—was a volunteer in the service—had been some years in H. M. S. Leopard, but last in the Halifax. That, on the 7th of March last, the ship being then in Hampton Roads, the prisoner was sent with four other men, under a petty officer, in the jolly-boat, to weigh a kedge anchor; when, taking advantage of the dusk of the evening, the men mutinied upon the officer, and some of them threatened to murder him; but the rest interfering, they desisted—and landing at Sewell's point, the five made their escape. A few days after, the deserters were seen parading the streets of Norfolk, in triumph, under the American Flag:—One of them, H. Sanders, being accosted by Lord Townshend, asserted that he had no intention of deserting, but was compelled by the others; and would embrace the first opportunity to return on board. At that moment the prisoner, Jenkin Ratford, took the arm of Saunders, declaring that neither he nor any of the others should return to the ship—with a contemptuous gesture, asserted—That they were then in the Land of Liberty , and instantly dragged Saunders away: That the prisoner had entered on board the Chesapeake—had proceeded to sea in her—and had been found on board that ship, after the action (by an officer of H. M. S. Leopard) hid in the coal house.
A variety of other circumstances were developed in the course of the evidence.—The whole of which tended to prove, that although Defectors from the American naval or military establishments had been readily given up by H. M. ships on the station; yet, on the other hand, they had ever been refused by the Americans, when demanded by the British officers.
Two men had entered on board H. M. S. Chichester; who, being demanded by an American officer as deserters from their service, were instantly restored notwithstanding they were confessedly Englishmen. But, W. Phillips, corporal of marines John Mahoney, 37th regiment, and others, having deserted from the Chichester, and entered, with their uniforms on, into the American service, were positively refused to be given up to the British officer sent to demand them.
The evasion and duplicity of the American Commodore, in denying that there were any deserters on Board his ship, were strikingly contrasted with the humane and honourable conduct of Capt. Humphries; who, evidently demonstrated the greatest reluctance to pursue the steps, which the refusal of the American Commodore rendered absolutely necessary.
After a full and patient hearing of the evidence on both sides, the Court withdrew for about half an hour;
and on its return, the Judge Advocate pronounced the sentence— Death!
The President addressed the unhappy criminal in a most pathetic and impressive style.—lamenting much the depravity, which had induced him to desert the cause of his King and Country in the present eventful moment; when the very existence of that Country was threatened by inveterate and implacable enemies, on every quarter—and earnestly recommended him to occupy the remaining moments of his life in making his peace with the Almighty.
SEPT. 1.—The above sentence was carried into execution yesterday morning, at a quarter past nine o'clock, at the fore-yard-arm of his Majesty's sloop of war Halifax—the ship he deserted from—He was one of the four deserters taken out of the American frigate Chesapeake.
* Application was then made to Lieut. Sinclair, the American officer at the Rendezvous; but without effect.
MORE PIRACY.
The following is a narrative of captain James Brown, late of the brig Sumner, of this port.
On Sunday the 29th of March last, sailed from Norfolk, bound to Port Antonio, in the Island of Jamaica; on the outward passage, in going through the Calcos passage, was boarded by a privateer under Spanish colours, but which I knew to be a French privateer, which on a former voyage, I had seen at Point Petre, Gaudaloupe; took from me a barrel of flour, the oars of the boat, some plank, and other small articles, for which they refused payment. On board of the privateer was a negro, that I recognized as the property of Mr. John Granbery of this place, who was as expert a thief as any on board the privateer.
On the 21st of June I sailed from Port Antonio, in Jamaica, for Norfolk, with a cargo of 67 puncheons of Rum. On the 26, being almost 7 leagues S. S. E. of Currientes, was brought to by a schooner French privateer or pirate, called the Revenge, one Paul Ribie, commander of a motley crew of French, Spaniards and Italians. They took possession of the brig Sumner, and brought her to an anchor off Point Phillipia in Cuba, where I found the sloop Catherine-Eliza of Newyork, which these pirates had previously taken, and there anchored.
On the morning of the 27th they got the sloop and brig under weigh and run them into Phillipia Bay. They took out of the sloop forty-one puncheons of Rum, which they put on board the Sumner. They robbed the subscriber and his crew, the captain of the Catherine-Eliza, her crew and some passengers, of their watches and clothes, leaving us nearly naked. They then put us all on board the sloop, without the necessary stores of provisions or water, and ordered us to make the best of our way to America; we were fortunate enough to get safe to Newyork. The Sumner came out of Phillipia Bay, with the privateer and the sloop, but what has become of her and cargo I know not, but do suppose they went with her to Batabano Bay. They kept all the brig's papers, and my own papers and accounts, with which they will endeavor to impose on some one.
JAMES BROWN.
TRIAL OF MR. BURR.
RICHMOND, (VIRG.) AUG. 31, 1807.
The Chief Justice delivered the opinion of the Court, on the motion made by the Counsel of Col. Burr, to exclude all other evidence from the consideration of the Jury, as irrelevant upon the present indictments;—the result of which opinion was, that under the particular circumstances of the case, as detailed in the evidence already given, no further testimony could be relevant. At the request of Mr. Hay, (who wished time to consider as to the course which it would be proper for the Counsel on the part of the United States to pursue) the Court adjourned until to-morrow.
Burr not guilty of Treason.
SEPT. 1.—Mr. Hay observed, that the opinion delivered by the Court on yesterday, had been maturely considered by the Counsel for the United States, the result of which was, that he had nothing further to offer to this jury, either of evidence or argument.
The jury then retired and after an absence of 20 minutes returned a verdict in these words: "We, of the Jury, find that AARON BURR is not proved to be guilty under this indictment, by any evidence submitted to us. We, therefore, find him not NOT GUILTY."
This form of the verdict was objected to by Col. Burr, and his Counsel, who insisted that it should be in the usual form, simply, Not Guilty .—Mr. Hay contended that the Jury had a right to find their verdict in this form, &c.—One of the Jury observed, that
if he were sent out again he should not agree to return a verdict in any other form; and if he were to answer cre tenus , he should use the very same words. The Chief Justice said, the Court could not reject it; because it was a full answer to what was given them in charge.
Col. Burr observed, that he should not move for a discharge until to-morrow; and that if any objection should occur to that course it might now be made.
The Court adjourned until to-morrow; when the Counsel for the United States will determine upon the course to be pursued with respect to Col. Burr.—Previous to the adjournment, however.
Gen Jonathan Dayton appeared in Court, to answer the indictments found against him by the Grand Jury, for treason and misdemeanor. He entered into bail, in the sum of 10,000 dollars, and Mr. Williamson and Mr. Martin entered as his sureties in the recognizance.
Mr. Martin was nearly thirteen hours in delivering his argument, on the 28th and 29th Aug.
Portland,
Monday, September 14, 1807.
The week past has furnished no intelligence from England of a later date than was published in our last.
The first arrivals will probably inform us what impression the statement by the Executive of the United States, respecting the Chesapeake affair, will make on the British Government, and what reparation is demanded; till this information is received, it is very uncertain what the issue of the present pending negotiation between the two countries will be.
From the Baltic.
Capt. Lamson arrived at Salem on Tuesday last, from St. Petersburg, informs that at Copenhagen he perceived a considerable degree of satisfaction among the Danes at the success of the French arms, on account of its effects upon the English, against whom there is a prevailing antipathy.—Capt. L. saw two fleets of the English transports, with troops, pass over the ground for Stralsund, their number said to be 40,000; and he passed another fleet between the Scau and the Naze. These troops had been long before expected by the Russians, so as to have made a diversion in favor of the common cause; but their arrival was too late to produce any effect.
Capture of Stralsund.
Further from the Baltic.—The brig Sally-and-Mary, capt. Cobb, arrived here yesterday, from Copenhagen, which place she left the 29th July. Unfortunately Capt. C. brought no papers; and we lament it the more, as had he brought any we should have been in possession of very late news from the Continent of Europe. Capt. C. informs, that a report had just been received of an attack upon Stralsund, and its capture, by the French; that previous to the attack, the English had joined the Swedes; that the battle was very severe, and that the loss of the French was very great. Off the Naze, capt. C. saw 47 sail of British vessels, 27 of them ships of the line.—Cent.
DEFENCE.—The plan adopted by the Corporation of Newyork, for more effectually defending that port, will cost by estimation, 300,000 dollars to carry it into effect.
One of the Gun Boats in the harbor of Charleston, (S. C.) has been struck by lightning and considerably damaged.
The Gun Boats that sailed from this port a short time since, have arrived at Newyork—one of them was brought to off the harbor of Newyork by the Jason Frigate, on suspicion of having deserters on board.
A singular affair.—We are informed by the Newyork Evening Post, that a British armed brig, charged with dispatches to our government, had been cruising for several days off Sandy-Hook, but the famous Proclamation interdicting all intercourse with British ships of war, there was no way of making it known, that she had dispatches, until a lieutenant of one of our gun-boats, maugre all proclamations, went on board. A pilot then went down and brought her to an anchor at the Horse shoe. This provision that vessels bearing dispatches shall be allowed a pilot, at the same time enjoining it upon them to shun all other ships of war, is about as ingenious, unless they possess some spirit of divination, as the post placed in a stream, with direction—"when the water is two feet above the top of this post, it will be dangerous crossing."—Repertory.
A copy of the following address, delivered to the members of the late Senior Class in Bowdoin College on commencement day, by Professor Annot, was furnished at the request of several of the Trustees and Overseers; and with pleasure we lay it before our readers.
BY a very affliction dispensation of divine providence, and by the appointment of the laws, it is made my duty on this occasion to stand in the place of
your late much loved and highly respected President;—who, though dead is still speaking to you, in the important instruction, which you so often received from his lips, in the interesting examples, which he set you of piety and virtue—and in a life strongly marked with candor, prudence, benevolence and kindness—and distinguished by high attainments, and great public usefulness. Though dead,—his example still speaks—loudly speaks, and invites you to go and do likewise.
Having completed the course of studies appointed by the laws, and being about to receive the public honors of this institution, you may soon be expected to engage in the concerns and employments of active life. And I take this opportunity to express to you the deep concern we take in your success, your usefulness and prosperity in this life, and above all,—in your happiness in the future.
You are not insensible, I trust, that for the attainment of eminence in literature and in science, it is only the foundation which can be laid at College: that the superstructure must be reared by patient industry and persevering diligence amidst the business and duties of active life. Let this distinction be the object of your ambition—it is a laudable ambition. But while you are desirous of high attainments in useful knowledge, let the motive, which shall impel you to action, and which shall, principally, stimulate your exertions, be the consideration,—that by increasing your stock of useful knowledge, you increase your means of usefulness, and multiply your opportunities of promoting the happiness and improvement of mankind.
It should be remembered, that we are not born for ourselves only, but also for others. Society has equitable claims on all, especially on those, who possess the best means and opportunities of ministering to the improvement and happiness of those who compose it. And, for our encouragement in well-doing, it is kindly ordered by providence, that benevolent and useful actions shall be amply recompensed by that complacency, that self satisfaction, which it always felt in a correct and well regulated mind, while performing actions intrinsically good, and which are calculated to make others better and happier. Were our accountability for the talents committed to us, and the strict account which we must certainly render of our improvement of them, out of the question; still, it might be safely and confidently asserted, that a life directed by a strong sense of duty, governed by undeviating integrity and honor, and conducted by the principles of philanthropy, candor and charity, may be safely relied on to produce a much greater sum of, even, temporal happiness, than one governed by the selfish and crooked policy adopted by mere men of the world. A desire to enjoy the regard and esteem of others, is found to exist, in a greater or less degree, in all minds: and under proper regulation, it is a laudable and useful principle. But, when we are willing to purchase them by mean and criminal compliances, and by sacrificing what virtue and religion require of us, it is not only highly pernicious, it is sinful.
To possess the good opinion of all with whom we are connected, and to whom we are known, if it can be procured by honest means, is highly desirable; as it will enable us more effectually to benefit ourselves, and will, likewise, furnish us with more frequent opportunities of becoming the instruments of good to others. But it is of much greater importance that we stand well with ourselves. He who cannot look into his own heart and view the springs and motives of his actions without despising himself—that man who shrinks from his own reflections, and lives, if I may so speak, a kind of exile to himself, must be wretched indeed.
Would you be useful, respectable and happy—would you secure the confidence and approbation of your own minds, make it your constant endeavor—let it be the high mark at which you shall always point, that "your hearts shall not reproach you so long as you live."
In a word—let me earnestly recom-

commend to you to govern your whole conduct in life, by a strict adherence to the principles of virtue, and an inviolable regard to the rules of our holy religion. So doing, you will, probably, enjoy the esteem and confidence of men—certainly of the wise and good;—but, what much more concerns you, you will secure the approbation of that great Being, whose favor is life—and is of infinitely greater importance to you than the applause of a world.
G. W. Campbell is re-elected a representative of the state of Tennessee, for the next Congress.

ST. GEORGE'S MILLS. THE Subscriber offers for Sale, his MILLS; lately the property of General H. Knox; situated in the town of Warren, and county of Lincoln, and a little above the head of Navigation, on the great Falls of St. George's River—together with the Lands and Buildings thereto adjoining and belonging. The natural advantages that here present themselves, together with the very great improvements that have been made at this Mill-Seat, render it one of the first, if not the very first situation, for that branch of business in the District of Maine. There are three distinct Saw Mills, each of which contains two Saws. One of said Mills, is of a very unusual length, and calculated more particularly for sawing dimension Lumber: it will saw a stick upwards of sixty feet in length. This long Mill contains also, a gang of seven Saws, moving together, and cutting a log into six boards at one operation, but is remarkably well adapted to the cutting of vessel plank, making them as equal in thickness, as smooth and perfect, in every respect as those sawed by hand. There is also, a Grist Mill, of the best kind and construction, whose custom is from 6 to 10 bushels per day, thro' the year; with a Bolting machine for the manufacture of Flour. The supply of water is very abundant, (with the exception of the three driest months of the year) to keep four of the Saws in motion, and for four months in the year, will keep them all going together, with the grist Mill; and there is no part of the year (except an unusual dry season) when two Saws may not be employed, even in the three summer months. Each of the Saws is capable of cutting four thousand of boards a day:—The tail of water, is 15 feet on an average. The St. George's River, which together with its Ponds, extends thirty miles into the back Country, affords upon its banks an almost inexhaustible supply of Lumber, of various sorts, well adapted to the Saw Mill. In addition to the Mill, the Canal is also offered for sale, with all its privileges, as established by Law: This Canal is a magnificent work, connecting the waters above said Mills with the tide waters, and Calculated as well for the use of the Mills, as the Lumber Merchants of the Back country; as very much of the Lumber of that extensive Country passes thro' them to the head of navigation; making them productive of a revenue of more than 500 dollars a year exclusive of the advantage derived to the Mills from them. This Canal may fairly be calculated, on as a progressive and certain revenue. Adjoining the Mills, is a Farm of about 150 acres of excellent Land; one half of which, is cleared, and under improvement, lying on both sides of the river; and in every point of view, whether of soil, situation, or increasing value, is an object of great importance. On this farm, is a large, handsome and well finished mansion House, Barn and out houses; a large Store, and Tenements for work people, with a Cooper's shop, beautifully situated upon the bank of the river, and one quarter of a mile above the Village. This estate is an extremely pleasant summer residence; To a Merchant or Trader, it is decidedly the best stand on the river, for the Lumber trade; and is generally considered by those who are best acquainted with it, as one of the most eligible situations for business in this part of the country. Any person inclined to purchase, on application to EBENEZER THACHER, Esq. living on the premises, can view the place, and receive any further information respecting the peculiar advantages of this estate. Forfeiture will be given on the first of March next. If not sold previous to that time, the whole of this valuable property will be let at an annual rent, or on shares as may be agreed upon. For terms of sale, apply to H. JACKSON, Buxton, September 1, 1807. (14)
