From the (N. Y.) TRUE AMERICAN. TO THE
People called Quakers,
But worthy the perusal of every Individual.
FRIENDS & FELLOW-CITIZENS,
OF all the calamities with which mankind is afflicted, War is far the most dreadful, as like the baleful comet, it draws in its train every misery to which the human race is liable. This truth is strikingly illustrated by the choice of David, the man after God's own heart. When the prophet Gad announced to him the displeasure of his divine master at his people, and propounded to him the three judgments, viz. War, Famine, and Pestilence, of which he must choose one as a punishment for his guilt, he wisely chose the latter, for this emphatic reason, that "it was better to fall into the hands of God, for with him was great mercy."
The pages of history record the calamities of war in such glowing colours, that the feeling mind is frozen with horror at the detail of miseries produced by or incidental to it. But a living picture, still more horrible, is now exhibited in Europe. The hardy peasantry of England are dragged from the plough, to perish on foreign shores, or linger out a wretched existence in their floating battalions; while her fields remain untilled; and famine daily thins the ranks of her wretched inhabitants. Nor is Europe alone suffering from the visitation of this offspring of avarice and ambition. Africa and Asia are bleeding at every pore, and their miserable sons forgetting their sufferings in the oblivion of death!
How ought America to thank that BRING who averted from our peaceful shores this destructive visitation, in despite of the machinations of wicked and the delusions of weak men! How ought they to praise and bless that BENEFICENT PROVIDENCE who rules and reigns according to his good will and pleasure, for preserving to us the most inestimable of blessings, the sweetest ingredient in the cup of national felicity—PEACE! In vain did the presumptuous ADAMS exclaim "to arms, to arms!" and declare the "finger of HEAVEN pointed to war!" In vain did the inhuman TRACY propose to "arm the men, women, and children of America against the men women and children of France," and prosecute "a war of extermination"—a war of extermination! In vain did the voice of corruption, ambition and avarice, cry aloud for war; which was declared to be as necessary to the existence of the body politic, as phlebotomy to the health of the human body! In vain were all the arts and intrigues of aspiring, designing, and abandoned speculators employed to entangle us in the toils of Europe, and sacrifice the peace and happiness of the nation to their own private aggrandizement! He who "rides on the whirlwind and directs the storm"—He who "overturns and overturns till he who's right it is shall rule"—confused their councils, defeated their wicked attempts, and from evil produced good.
Remote as we are from the contentions of the old world—distinct as are our interests from theirs—blessed as we are with all the necessaries, conveniencies, and most of the luxuries of life; it requires but a wise and prudent ruler (under Providence) to preserve us forever from a participation in the scenes which devastate Europe, Asia, and Africa. Such a ruler we have now chose; an important part of whose creed is, "PEACE with all nations—ENTANGLING ALLIANCES with none."
Under the auspices of a ruler thus disposed to cultivate peace, we have the most flattering prospects that we may "all repose under our vines and figtrees, and have none to molest or make us afraid." And not only that we may be happy ourselves, but that we may exercise our benevolence, and dispose of our abundance, in relieving the miseries of the inhabitants of these unhappy nations, who are suffering from the combined scourges of War, Famine, and Oppression. This ought to be an additional motive of gratitude to HIM who disconcerted the designs of those that strove to involve us in foreign war. Had they succeeded, our own country would have called for all the efforts of benevolence, and all the surplus of wealth. As it is, we are enabled to contribute liberally to the relief of that nation from whose loins we are descended; and to retard, in some degree the

progress of meagre and deathful famine. In this benevolent work, your society has taken the lead; and even the half-famished inhabitants of Great-Britain have cause of thankfulnes, that war did not extend its ravages to us; for then they would have had no resource from starvation.
But though we have succeeded in electing to the office of the first magistrate of the union, a man who is remarkable for his mild, peaceful, and philanthropic disposition; and who has declared it his intention to preserve peace with all nations; our work is not yet wholly accomplished. To preserve the harmony of the whole, it is necessary there should be an agreement of the parts. However peaceably disposed our general government may be, it is necessary for the tranquillity of the country that the state governments should be administered by men of a like peaceable disposition. Indeed, no man, whatever may be the excellence of his other qualifications, should be entrusted with the confidence of the people, who considers WAR as necessary or expedient. Nor can I reconcile it with the pacific principles which form the ornament and the excellence of your society, that many of you, at the last election, gave your votes for men who had left no stone unturned to produce an exterminating war between us and a powerful foreign nation. It must have been owing to some deep and wicked deception. You could never willingly and knowingly consent to involve our country in all the miseries of War, merely to gratify the wishes of a few ambitious lordlings.
If, on reflection, you should discover that you have been deceived in giving your votes to the friends of war and confusion; if you should approve of the declaration of Mr. JEFFERSON, that he would preserve peace with all nations; I hope you will not bestow your suffrages upon men who are inimical to his pacific and mild administration.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The National Debt of Great-Britain is enormous on paper; and has been a fruitful source of materials for the Jacobin Maginussess to deceive the public with.—But nationally considered, that debt is merely nominal.—It is due from the nation to individuals; and individuals form the nation.—If the entire debt were paid off at this moment it would not add a shilling to the wealth of the nation; nor a sensation to the flock of its general happiness.—On the other hand, were it to be wiped off entirely with a sponge, it would not cause fifty individuals in the whole kingdom to retrench one meal a day in their subsistence.—Centinel.
The intelligence of peace, received here a fortnight since, has been questioned at the Southward. It is nevertheless TOO TRUE.—ib. Nov. 28th.
ALTHOUGH the most violent acrimony and malevolence are displayed in the Tory Gazettes against the President, yet it must afford him the highest consolation, that such publications do not originate in Boston, but are taken principally from a paper which is considered as the immediate successor of Peter Porcupine. That there is a faction lurking in this metropolis, opposed to every republican principle of the Constitution, is too apparent to be controverted; but even this traitorous combination are obliged to keep themselves concealed, and instead of openly avowing their designs, are driven to the "imperious necessity" of using foreign means to effect their purposes. It must be admitted as an incontrovertible truth, that the observations in these Gazettes are the expiring struggles of an English Faction, and the republication of them in our papers, are the paltry ebullitions of a few unprincipled Editors, who, in the reign of terror, wantonly pledged their credit on the validity of their political predictions. Finding, however, that the Corsican Hero has bro't their "best of Kings" to sue for Peace—that the continent of France, stands on a commanding eminence over the island of Britain—that citizen Otto is on a level with lord Hawkesbury—that the Tower guns as readily discharge their sonorous exultations on the issue of the War, as when they resounded to the tune of "Rule Britannia, rule the waves"—that they as readily announce the arrival of a French missionary, to settle the definitive articles of Peace, as they formerly did to denounce the Jacobins of that victorious nation; and, that the English "populace" as readily took out the horses and drew the carriage of a Frenchman, as ever they did that of one of the Royal Family. When they find that such events have taken place, the Anglo Federalists of the United States have recourse to such fugitive observations as a defeated enemy in their retreat are pleased to furnish them.
These British troops, residing in America, are arranged in various directions—one part is assigned to abuse the President, an-
other to calumniate Mr. Gallatin; a few are foolish enough to flatter Mr. Gallatin, as if his integrity and knowledge could be biased by such sycophancy; another detachment is rallied for the express purpose of censuring every removal from office; some to create a jealousy between the Northern and Southern States; while others take a more extensive ground by pretending to exult at the advantages gained by the British in the Treaty of Peace. But not calculating on uniformity in sentiment on this subject, they unfortunately counteract each other in their statements—while some rejoice at the event, others lament the tidings as "too true." Russell takes the latter ground, and yet in the same Centinel proclaims the "glorious news," that Britain has gained every benefit by the issue of the war; that her flocks are in high estimation; that the English "omnium" is more valuable than the French gatherum; that the British have "not lost a foot of ground;" and yet, strange to relate, even in the midst of his boastings on the advantages of Peace, the Editor closes his narrative with a mournful sigh, Alas! it is "too true."
If the English have obtained these great advantages by the Peace, why should their friends express an uneasiness at the close of this European controversy? Why should they lament the issue of a war, provided the preliminary articles are altogether in their favor? If Pitt is satisfied, if Fox says it is a good treaty, if the people of England have become a body of Illuminati, by illuminating every capital city in the kingdom, why should the Centinel become the only mourner? Rachel weeping for her first born, could not express herself with more disconsolate dejection than this poor Editor—in the midst of the universal hilarity, we hear his discordant vociferation, Alas! it is "too true." Whilst thus, "refusing to be comforted," it was expected some emblem of grief would have expressed his condolence; whether a black Cockade, or a display of black crape on the horns of the roasted Ox in Liberty-Square, would have been exhibited by him and his distressed associates, was anxiously looked for by those who have long laughed at his ignorance and folly.
How must the British Faction in America have been mortified, had they seen Citizen Lauriston drawn in his coach by the English nobility through the street of St. James's! Alas, this also, is "too true." How would they have fared to observe the populace in Bristol welcome the London mail, which brought the pleasing intelligence of peace, and, after taking out the horses, drag it amidst the acclamations of thousands to the Bath-tavern! Alas, this is also "too true." How would they have been terrified to behold the French convalescents leap from their hammocks, and dance upon the main-deck of their prison-ships! But above all, how great must have been their mortification to find, that the "immortal" Peter Porcupine, the champion of the British king both in England and America, had his Office demolished, by the London populace, for his refusal to illuminate! Alas, these are all "too true."
(Concluded in our next.)
FOR THE RHODE-ISLAND REPUBLICAN.
MR. PRINTER,
THE anti-republican party in our country, the secret friends to Popery and kingcraft, have been alarmed ever since the republican principles which triumphed in America, spread themselves to Europe and again triumphed in France. Sometimes at foreign influence, then at French invasion, and now they are alarmed for the Church. These people, (convinced that the doings of our Assembly, refusing to call in the arm of the civil authority, in support of a religion, said to be not of man, was no violation, but an act of the highest respect to the Gospel) shun the case in question, and talk of infidelity. This is like the Popish priest, who, wishing to inspire his hearers with horror at the Protestants, after calling them murderers and Christ-killing heretics, passed on to the appearance of a dead body; and having fixed the minds of his hearers on this mournful object, he declaimed on the melancholy, the sorrowful, the affecting, the distressing light, with so much vehemence that the weak part of the audience were all in tears and ready to rush into the street and tear in pieces the protestant inhabitants as the real murderers of Christ. The Popish priests and the aristocratic writers in this country, have too much wit to believe one word they write; but they sometimes succeed in making the simple part of the community believe it. These are the disciples and Brethren of the craftsmen of Demetrius who were alarmed at the progress and innovation of the apostles. These are the men of whom Isaiah spoke, saying, "this people draw near to me with their mouths and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me." These are the people of whom Christ said, you make clean your cups and pots. These are the men who with to make the laborious and unlettered part of mankind believe that the communications between men and heaven must be done on stamped paper, on office days, and office hours; and that the virtuous man, who-
mind glows with benevolence at the bounty of his maker, whose heart is smitten with humility and contrition, at the omnipotence and wisdom of him who has created and sustained this Ball, shall not pour forth the pure homage of the heart, without a licence from the Legislature of Rhode-Island, signed and sealed. These are the men of which number, Newburyport "STANLEY" is one, who after seeing religious freedom driven from Rome by the Pope, from England by the Bishops, from Massachusetts by these very men who fled from England to enjoy it, now wish to see it banished from Rhode-Island. I believe the present inhabitants of Massachusetts are as tolerant and free from persecution as any men; that they lament the cruelty of their ancestors who inflicted, as much as the people of Rhode-Island regret the extravagant enthusiasm of their predecessors, who suffered death. But it seems to me that an inhabitant of Massachusetts, acquainted with the story of Mary Dyer , and others who suffered about that time, if they had the smallest portion of religion or sentiment, would say, that a people, whose ancestors had advocated religion by such horrid means, were very unfit to recommend it.
"By me that holy office were profaned.—Ill fits it me with human gore deftained; To the pure skies these horrid hands to raise, Or offer heaven's great fire polluted praise."
He would say, I leave to all the world beside to preach religion, but as for me and my country, we should only practice it. A people, a country, thus stained with blood, should pass whole centuries in virtuous sorrow and silence to atone for it.
To that part of your readers, if there be any such, who think that religion has suffered by Republican or French principles, I will address myself by saying, every appearance contradicts it. Dean Swift, says, that hypocrisy is better than open impiety. For the state of religion in England, I shall quote Dr. Salmon, a reputable author, who wrote about seventy years past: "Of the religion professed in the British Isles, it may be said as of the Constitution, that it was originally the best institution in the world, but has been so metamorphosed and deformed, the professors broken into so many sects and parties, that bear an implacable hatred to each other, that the spirit of christianity is in a manner lost; vice and profaneness reign triumphant; the sacred truths of christianity are questioned and disputed: And a man that is not an infidel, is scarce allowed to have common sense among those that look upon themselves to be the polite world and pattern for the rest of mankind to follow. Religion is the butt of almost every fool; and if he has no other pretence to wit, his ridiculing every thing that is sacred, intitles him to that denomination in the opinion of the Beau Monde." It must be confessed that French jacobinism cannot make such a religion worse. But on the contrary, the jacobins have driven all the fashionable infidels and rogues within the pale of the Church. They have such a defecation of the mob, and are, as Butler says,
"So perverse and opposite, They seem to worship God for spite."
Our great Hamilton, the light and lamp of the country, after living, as he says, in adultery, what but his spite and hatred to jacobins could have compelled him to confess his crimes to the world, and turn champion for religion? What but his antipathy and hatred to republican and popular government, and all government but his own, could have made a devout man and good christian of Mr. E. R. Potter? Alas! but for jacobinism, this good man might have become grey without feeling any concern for the good of souls. What is more common than to hear one of these new made federal good christians, that hardly knows the Lord's prayer, the apostle's creed, or the way to any meeting house, cursing and denouncing the French for destroying all religion. And admitting that hypocrisy is better than open impiety, it may be fairly concluded, that religion is in a much better state than before the time of jacobinism. Take the religion of the feds, which is to wash cups and pots, and to make long prayers, and commit no outward sin on the Sabbath, and the religion of republicans, which is all that can bless mankind, and it will amount to more religion than ever appeared before, and much of it owing to the revolution in France.

Interesting Remarks on the PEACE.
LONDON, Oct. 7.
THE fair way of judging the Preliminaries of Peace is to consider, first, what we proposed to gain by the war; second, what we have gained by it; third, what France proposed to gain by the war; and fourth, what she has gained by it.
1st. No man, we believe, will deny, that Ministers, if their speeches and their declarations meant any thing, proposed to overthrow the Republican government of France,
and restore the ancient monarchy—to curb the ambition of France;—at least to confine her strictly within her ancient limits—to rescue Holland from her ancient power—to prevent her from obtaining a preponderating influence on the continent—to establish some counterpoise to her power. If it were necessary, it would be easy to prove, that all these objects were repeatedly avowed by his Majesty's ministers.
2d. Such were our objects; have they been accomplished? You have not destroyed the Republic, but consolidated it. You have not curbed the ambition of France, which has been gratified and gorged by a vast accession of power. You have not confined her within her ancient limits. You have not rescued Holland from her grasp, nor checked her preponderating influence, nor established a counterpoise. We have gained Ceylon from Holland, whom we entered into the war to defend. We have obtained Trinidad from a power who was our ally at the commencement of the war. We have also stipulated that the Cape shall be a free port. Will any man say that such acquisitions are a compensation for having failed in all these gigantic projects we originally entertained; or that a peace in which we consent to abandon all those objects which we call a glorious one?
3d. When France first entered into the war, she could have no idea of realizing such projects as she has realized. She wished to establish her revolution and her republican government.
4th. What France has gained by the war we have already amply stated in a former paper.
A Ministerial paper of this day contends "that by relinquishing many of our conquests, we have rendered the duration of peace much more probable; that had we retained the Cape, it would have occasioned a heavy expense without affording any return." This may be true; but is this a truth that might not have been discovered long ago? Did not the former minister who is now said to be such an admirer of the peace, approve of the expression of one of his colleagues which laid the greatest stress upon the possession of the Cape by Great Britain in full and complete sovereignty? The same Ministerial paper adds "that we have left nothing to barter or haggle about." In this opinion we entirely coincide. We indeed have left nothing to haggle about at all.
Before we dismiss the subject we must remark upon one expression in this Ministerial paper about Egypt—"Our arms" it says, "have conquered that country, and by treaty, the French have relinquished the possession of it." This was a great possession on the part of France—they were first dispossessed by our arms of the country, and then being no longer able to retain it, they consent to relinquish the possession of it!
But then the ministerialists say, was not peace necessary? It certainly was. "This peace says the "Times" "no wise and candid statesman will defend upon any other ground than necessity; an humble but a strong and irresistible plea."
The great, and indeed the only ground upon which the peace can be defended, is the ground of necessity; the conviction, that the continuance of the war would have been ruinous, and that France had so consolidated her conquests, as to render it impossible for any efforts of ours to dispossess her of them. Had the peace been defended on this ground, we should have thought it unnecessary to have made any observations upon it. But it is too much to hear the ministerialists boast of it as so glorious, honorable, and advantageous; and demand the unbounded admiration of the country for the negotiators of it.
No one can deny that France has realized all her ambitious projects and all her vast designs.—Look at her territorial acquisitions, and look at ours. Is Ceylon of as much importance as the Netherlands?—Is Trinidad of equal consequence with Savoy?—Is the establishment of the Cape as a free port a compensation for the absolute dominion acquired by France over Italy. We put out of our consideration for the present, the grand point secured by France, of affirming her Republican Government against all the exertions of the coalesced powers. We enter not at present into our enormous expenditure of 250 millions.—But if Ceylon and Trinidad be such important territorial acquisitions, and afford us such ample compensation; if they make the peace a glorious one for us, what must the territorial acquisitions of France make the peace for her? If Ceylon and Trinidad do really give us, as is asserted, indemnity for the past, and security for the future, then will the people have been most grossly insulted and deceived by the assertions of the alarmists, that it was necessary to destroy jacobinism and the republican government; and that the existence of such a government was incompatible with the peace and prosperity of the civilized world. Will any one say, that the war was entered into with any view to the acquisition of Ceylon, Trinidad, and the Cape? No. For when we entered into the war, it was in alliance and friendship with those very powers to which Ceylon, the Cape of Good-Hope, and Trinidad belonged.
But we are told that Mr. Pitt approves

the peace. There wanted but this to complete the degradation. Good Heaven! does he approve of such a peace; he who urged us to the war, who spent 250 millions, who armed all Europe against France, who was the moving soul, and spirit, and life-blood of the coalition—who described the Chief Consul as a monster of perfidy and fraud, of cruelty and crime—Does he approve of such a peace? Does he consent to acknowledge the Chief Consul and the Republican Government, with all its vast accession of territory, on condition of receiving Ceylon and Trinidad? And this the man who rumor tells us is again to form a part of our administration, and to be at the helm of affairs?
October 12. The illuminations on Saturday began with the night, and were so general that we had almost said they were universal. A minute description of them will be found in our next paper. They were only exceeded by the illuminations on the King's recovery. There were very, very few houses in London that were not lighted up; those of the poor—those classes were the most brilliant, comparatively speaking. We never before heard so many guns and pistols fired off in the streets, to the great annoyance of passengers and horses. It seemed as if the members of the volunteer corps were giving a farewell salute. In a window in Oxford-street, opposite to M. Otto's, was a picture of Bonaparte, with this inscription: "The Saviour of the Universe!" at this several of the St. George's volunteers in their uniforms were gaping. The proprietors of the Porcupine newspaper, consistently, disapproving of the peace, since they approved of the war, would not illuminate. In consequence, the windows of the office, in Southampton, were smashed to pieces and those of the house of the chief proprietor in Pall Mall, shared the same fate. The sign of the Bible, the Crown and Mitre over the window, was besmeared with dirt, or rather with glory in the cause, as the proprietor will no doubt assert; and just with as much truth as it is said Lord Hawkesbury has covered himself with glory in signing the peace, who if his former language were now acted upon, would be in reality besmeared with dirt like the sign above mentioned.
Between four and five o'clock, Mr. Fox and his friends sat down to dinner, at the Shakespeare tavern, to celebrate the anniversary of his Election; and it will be seen, that his speech is an important commentary on the peace, materially connected with the great events of Saturday, which we have been describing. He said in substance, that the war having been undertaken for an unjust object, namely to force upon an independent nation, a form of government which it abhorred, and with the design of destroying the rights of mankind; the peace was precisely such as it ought to be, disgraceful to the authors of the war, in this country, who have failed in all their real objects, and glorious to the enemy who have succeeded in them all as they ought to do. This is Mr. Fox's approbation of the peace, of which some of the Treasury Journals have boasted! We could not learn whether Mr. Fox will attend Parliament or not. From what we collected, we think he will not. But absence cannot now be occasioned by the want of countenance given to his opinions in the House of Commons. We can positively state, what the reader will not believe till he proceeds further, that Mr. Fox and his friends, hitherto called the opposition, will have a great majority in both Houses of Parliament. This will not be disputed, when the public recollect, as they will on the first mention of it, that Addington, Lord Hawkesbury, and the whole of the present administration, together with Mr. Pitt and his friends, have, on the great political question which has agitated the empire for 9 years, come over entirely to the opinions of the opposition, and have adopted them, by stigmatising the war in the conditions of the Peace.
October 17. As soon as the news of the Peace was received on the French coast opposite Jersey, several boats loaded with different articles of provisions proceeded to that island. The small Normandy sheep they sold alive for half-a-guinea each, turkeys sixteen pence each, and butter six-pence a pound!!! In time of peace, the land forces of this country generally amount to about 40,000 men, including garrisons and troops abroad. Our seamen are from 13 to 15,000, and the navy costs about two millions a year.
We never had so great a war establishment as during these two years. Foreign regiments in English service, and pay included, the whole number does not fall much short of half a million of fighting men.
France owes this country, for maintaining its prisoners, about £. 2,000,000. October 21. Government has received official information of the appointment of Joseph Buonaparte, as the French Minister Plenipotentiary to adjust the Definitive Treaty. A part of the Marquis Cornwallis' equipage has been sent on to Paris—where the Plenipotentiaries will probably have an interview before they proceed to Amiens. It is reported, that the Duke de Liancourt will be appointed the
French Ambassador at the Court of St. James; and M. Otto, Minister Plenipotentiary to America. On Monday next His Majesty will open Parliament by a speech from the throne.
PARIS, Oct. 13. Yesterday the signature of PEACE between France and Russia, was announced under a discharge of 60 cannon. Citizen Laigneau, the bearer of the Preliminary Treaty to London, was received with every mark of distinction by the government and people. The First Consul, on his part, has been impressed with a deep sense of the testimonies of esteem shown for him on this occasion by the English.
HAMBURG, Oct. 9. The Peace has reduced the price of almost every article. Coffee fell from 12. 13. d. Banco, to 8. 9.
[The following observations, upon the subject of Thanksgiving, are from the "Aurora." We copy them in order to show, in a clear light, the difference of sentiment by which the different political parties are actuated. Some have said that they "are concerned to see the severe comments, which continually appear in many public papers, upon the abolition of days of Thanksgiving;" and instantly found the depth, and prove the insincerity of that concern, by publishing in a train, those very "comments" in their own papers. But these artifices have become thread-bare. Hypocrisy may hang up her cloak; it has become sleazy, and thin, and will no longer conceal her designs. Truth, blessed truth! ascends, like an angel of light, "with healing in his wings," and the eyes of the universe seem to be raised to behold it.]
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3. The federal papers in the states of Massachusetts and Connecticut have of late been filled with denunciations and threats of excommunication against the people of the state of Rhode-Island, for having dared to exercise the right of opinion on that subject, for which they are only accountable to Providence. It has been usual with the priests of New-England to set apart one day, and sometimes more, of every year for thanksgiving and prayer, but unfortunately instead of sermons having for their object the promotion of morality, and good will towards man, canting speeches, replete with anti-republican political doctrines have been substituted—in stead of being themselves examples of that patience and resignation which should characterize men in their situation, as teachers of their flocks—they have displayed in many instances their utter want of those virtues, and have descended from the high station of "lights to the world"—to that lowest of all, defamers; they have converted the pulpit into a place from whence only denunciations against their fellow-citizens, because of their difference in politics, have been pronounced—republicans who had frequented their churches to hear the words of a friend, and had been obliged to decline going in consequence of such doings, have been anathematized as infidels—but the clouds, which have been so long obscuring the true character of the people of New-England, are gradually dissipating; republicanism has been progressing with rapid strides for the last 12 months, to regain the station which it held at the commencement of the revolution with so much advantage to the United States generally, and with so much glory to the eastern states in particular.
The people of the state of Rhode-Island, though laboring under many disadvantages from the want of a constitution, have done their best for the promotion of democratic republican principles; they have elected a Governor and Legislature attached to these principles, and of course have received a very liberal share of abuse from some of the neighboring states. A day of fasting and prayer has been appointed by the states of Connecticut, New-Hampshire, and if we mistake not, Massachusetts; but Rhode-Island has fallen out of the ranks, has appointed no day, but left every one to pray on such day, and in such manner, as their consciences should tell them was best. Hence the quantity of invective and of doubly distilled gall, which have been vented against every thing republican by the federal prints—hence the indiscriminate titles of enemies of religion, order, and steady habits, disorganizers and infidels, which have been bestowed on some of the best and most moral men in New-England; and in all probability, instead of praying for themselves and the world, instead of endeavoring to heal the wounds which have been made between man and man, we shall on the next fast day, hear a repetition from the pulpit of what has issued from the press.
By the latest accounts from St. Jago de Cuba, no proofs had been exhibited of the charges against the imprisoned American Consul; and his speedy liberation was expected. By a letter from a respectable gentleman in England, to his friend in Newburyport, we learn, That a loan of FIFTY MILLIONS sterling had been requested from the People by the British government. [Bost. Chron.]
NEWPORT, Saturday, Dec. 12, 1801.
IT is really astonishing (says a Correspondent) to read in some of the newspapers printed at Boston, Providence, &c. the observations that are made on the Legislature of this State's declining to appoint a day of Thanksgiving. These unprincipled scribblers would fain persuade people to believe that it arose from an opposition to christianity. That the large majority of the General Assembly who voted against the appointment of the day, are a banditti of libertines, who pant for the extermination of every thing that wears the appearance of religion from society. Nothing can be more fallacious than such representations, and which can have no other effect on the candid, liberal, and informed, than to excite indignation against the authors. Those who attended the session and heard the reasons given in opposition to the passing of the resolutions, and are acquainted with the members who assigned them, must know it was a sacred veneration for religion, and its author that detered them from doing like Uzza, through ignorance and misguided heat, to give the ark of God an unlawful touch. They knew it did not become them as legislators to interfere in, or direct the Religious concerns of their constituents. But to leave it intirely to the discretion of the different christian assemblies to consult with each other (if they saw fit) and make their own appointment, (which they did not doubt they would do) would be treating them with no more than proper respect, as fully competent, and better qualified to the purpose, and which would most probably tend not only to preserve, but also to ensure harmony and liberality amongst the different religious sects in the State.
These were most clearly the motives which actuated the Legislature; and their wishes and expectations were realized on the 26th ult. for when was the day observed with such perfect unanimity and solemnity? Is it not an additional proof, that those things which appertain to the kingdom of the Most High, flourish most when unpolluted by the hand of civil authority.
If the Rev. Doctor "Geography," whose partiality for aristocratic-federalism, in preference to republicanism, which has been manifested (for "by their fruits ye shall know them") was to come before the public, and apologize for the fabrication of that horrid tale, relative to the "Ocean massacre," it would be far more acceptable to the rational part of the community, and the friends of the crew of the ship Ocean in particular, than an attempt to calumniate that worthy patriot and real friend to his country, "OLD SOUTH," whose exertions in the best of causes, viz. the happiness of mankind, has gained him that veneration and applause, in the estimation of his fellow-men, which time itself will not diminish. Posterity will with gratitude and pleasure, cherish the remembrance of him, while they will execrate the memory of apostates.
Yes, Rev. Doctor! we are decidedly of the opinion, that it would be most consistent with your sacerdotal functions, to cease from your toilsome labors in espousing, any longer, the cause of expiring federalism; otherwise you will justly merit the familiar, but reproachful appellation of "Jacobin."
To no part of the world could the joyful news of Peace between France and England give brighter hopes than to the Republicans of North America. This eventful period arrives after our Constitution has survived the furious ordeal of federalism, after it has stood the test of the most trying experiments. And now in the guardian hands of its best friends, and the world at peace, we may hope that it will for ages exist as the basis of our happiness, and as a model of government to other nations. Hail then the blessed news of peace! The glorious event will be celebrated this morning, at sun-rise, by a discharge of 16 cannon from the guns of the AMERICA, on the Crowninshield wharf. [Salem Reg.]
The news of Peace reached the Havanna about the 1st of Nov. and instantly depressed the prices of importations from America. A letter from Liverpool of Oct. 20, states, what might be expected, that the prices of the articles, which of late formed the cargoes of vessels from America, have fallen very considerably.

ELEGANT LINES.
INDULGENT heav'n voucht safe the boon to fend, A youth I found, and just, and mild was he; Our hearts were mutual, we embrac'd as friends, I need not, Orson! name that friend to thee.
I ask no lone retreat, no shady grove, Nor grove, nor bower can boast a charm for me; I muse on liberty and love, And, need I, Orson! tell my wish to thee?
How oft perverted is the high behest, Oft I am doom'd oppression's rod to see; Virtue unnotic'd, and the poor oppress'd, And, need I, Orson! tell my wish to thee?
How bounds the soul at freedom's sacred call, How shrinks from slavery's heart appalling train; But still her victims do, and will enthral, And many—many were the accursed chains.
Still powers despotic, with ambition join'd, Would crush the soul determin'd to be free; I see debas'd man's dignity of mind, And, need I, Orson! tell my wish to thee?
When prudence governs, then will man be good; Were freedom guarded, then would man be blest; No generous impulse of the soul sedu'd, But love, unfraught with anguish, fill the breast.
I bend, great Justice! at thine awful throne, Eternal Arbiter of good and ill; The sons of foul should make thy laws their own, And form their dictates by thy sov'reign will.
Cure for the Bite of a Mad-Dog: By Doctor DE MONETA, Physician in ordinary to the king of Poland.
The Doctor first advises to cover the wound with fresh earth, or with snuff, to imbibe the saliva of the animal, and then to wash it with water. At the same time warm half a pound of butter in four times as much vinegar, and when the wound is cleared, apply a compress of linen steeped in that mixture and moisten it very often with the same for nine days; after which time, you may safely remove the compress, and cure the wound in the usual way.
During the time that the vinegar is used outwardly, the patient must take it internally four times a day, in doses of an ounce and a half of vinegar warmed with a little fresh butter, and his common drink must be pure water with a little vinegar. Any strong liquor is extremely hurtful, as is any emotion of anger or impatience.
Doctor De Moneta has used the same remedy against the bites of vipers and other venomous reptiles, and always with success.
He has prevented the hydrophobia in more than sixty people; and many other physicians who have followed his method, have found it equally efficacious.
It is remarkable that in Italy, vinegar has also been lately discovered to be a remedy for this frightful disease.
INFALLIBLE CURE For Films and Blood-shot Eyes.
Drop in each eye of the patient, on going to bed, two or three head lice. They will not occasion more pain than an eye-stone, but will so gorge themselves with the film or the blood-shot, that in the morning, they will be discharged dead from the eyes. Let this be repeated for a few times, and the cure will be perfected.
Despise not this lousy remedy, it is invaluable to those who use it.
From a late London paper.
A ci-devant snooker in Strassburgh lately set up for a prophet, and announced that the world in one month would be at an end. Several heads of families and others gave him such full credit, as to leave off labor, and to dispose of their property to such as chose to accept of the earthly goods. Many of them put on their best cloaths, and prepared themselves by alternate feasting and praying, for the coming day! The impostor has been sent before the Correctional Police. A similar circumstance lately took place at Brakenheim, in the Duchy of Wurtemberg, where a Priest and a woman deluded a number of persons to follow them to the Holy Land, where the female was to produce a new MESSIAH. They had already set out on this hopeful march, and others were preparing to follow, when the eyes of the deluded were opened by the caprice of the lady, who banished their oriental hopes by eloping with the money which she had collected for the journey.
A Crim. Con. cause was set down the other day for trial in the Court of Common Pleas, which was obliged to be withdrawn in a very unaccountable manner, owing to two witnesses having got out of the way on the morning of trial. The action was to be brought by a Gentleman at Bristol against another for Criminal Conversation; and the defence intended to be set up was—that the Plaintiff's wife had been won at play. This is playing deep with a vengeance!
An old maiden lady in the North of England, advertises that she has reserved her premises from all sportsmen, except such as may have a licence from the Vicar of the parish!

Doctor BARTLETT
HAS returned from New-York, with a general and excellent assortment of DRUGS AND MEDICINES, and is ready to attend to the application of his friends and the public when called on, in the line of his profession.
Dr. BARTLETT has taken some pains to investigate the nature of the Malignant Fever, as it appeared in New-York during his stay there, and finds it similar to that which appeared in the West-Indies and New-Port—which came under his observation, and therefore has no cause to alter his practice in regard to it. This dreadful malady has subsided in New-York, within the last week, except two cases which appear to be favorable.
