Poetry.
THE PILGRIM. FROM MOORE.
A humble pilgrim here I plod my way, May no ambitious dreams delude my mind, Impatience hence be far—and far be Pride; What e'er my lot, on Heaven's kind care reclind, Be Piety my comfort—Faith my guide. Let others rise, by guilt and meanness great, Riot in Luxury, and stalk in state Their short liv'd days, till death, relentless foe, Strikes their vain grandeur to the gulf below; The godlike soul regards with just disdain The passing pageant of the proud and vain: Her with the wings beyond the bounds of time, To joys more pure, to glories more sublime. Her bold ambition, of no mortal size, Does like some Colossean statue rise, And hide its tow'ring forehead in the skies.
Political.
Where is our Government?—It can hardly be forgotten, that in the year 1793, when the calamities of pestilence rendered it necessary to remove the offices of government out of the city of Philadelphia, great clamour was raised by the democrats, because the president and heads of departments did not keep together in one place. We were every day informed of the amount of salary drawn by these officers as a compensation for devoting their time to the service of the people, and yet, that they were on that occasion so separated as to render it extremely inconvenient to transact business with them. They were accused of deserting their posts; abdicating the government; cheating the public out of the amount of their salaries, etc. etc. We should now be glad to know of these watchful guardians of the people's rights, whether the duty of public officers have materially changed since that time; or whether their salaries have been reduced; or whether any new principle has been introduced and sanctioned, excusing the officers of the administration from devoting their time to the public. Unless some such change has taken place, how are we to account for the uniform absence of almost every public officer from the seat of government during the recesses of congress? There has not been a single summer, since Mr. Jefferson came into power, that the president and heads of departments have not been dispersed into different and remote parts of the country, though they have never been driven away by the terror of yellow fever.
During the whole of the present summer, the public mind has been agitated with a variety of important transactions, which required the continual vigilance of government and on which it was the undoubted duty of the administration, to give some public information. Yet all that we have been able to hear from the man of the people is, that he has quietly retired to his mountain where he remains as snug, and as unconcerned, and as silent as though he had nothing to do but to receive his five and twenty thousand dollars a year; unless indeed, when he gets a letter from captain Lewis, with a present of prairie dogs or magpies; then the official paper is set to work, and the public are called to admire the wonders of Louisiana. But while nothing more interesting occurs than the blockade of two or three of our ports; or the failure of a negotiation set on foot for the recovery of property of which our citizens have been plundered; or for settling our title to a district of country for which we have paid fifteen millions of dollars; or an alleged order to seize and confiscate our property according to the law of nations; the intelligence is left to find its way to those concerned through newspapers, extracts of letters, and uncertain rumours.
Our merchants have recently been freely embarrassed by a new and, as has been supposed, illegal restrictions upon their commerce. In such cases they wish to consult the government, in the first place to know, officially, the real state of facts; and in the second, to be informed whether any or what steps will be taken for their protection. Upon inquiring where such applications are to be made, they learn that it is convenient to the public officers, in summer, to have any government. It is true there is a president some where in the mountains of Virginia; a secretary of state in Philadelphia; a secretary of the treasury in the western parts of Pennsylvania, &c. &c. But in order to do business it is necessary that these
officers should consult together; that there should be an interchange of the information which may be lodged in the respective departments, as well as an interchange of sentiments and opinions resulting from that information. Every one must perceive that nothing of this kind could take place in the present dispersed condition of the administration. The only advantage, therefore, which we the people can derive from having a government during the summer months is that we have an opportunity of sending applications to the city of Washington where, no doubt, they will safely repose until it may please the administration to return there to spend the winter, and receive their salaries. [Philad. Pap.]
The powerful MAGIC of the word ECONOMY.
If we shew that our nation is treated with disrespect, scorn, and insult; that the American commerce has become a prey to every pirate or freebooter; that our seaport towns and harbours are blockaded; that our seamen are impressed, flogged, and imprisoned; that the cowardly Spaniards, as well as the English and French, insult our flag, capture our vessels, and cuff and kick the American sailors without any seeming apprehension of consequences. If we view that these things are, and that they are becoming every day more and more intolerable—the consoling reply is, that the internal duties are abolished, that there is no land tax, no expensive navy; that the public debt is diminishing, &c. &c. This fascinating lullaby quiets the public mind. If we shew that the constitution of the general government has been rent and mangled to answer party purposes; that Virginia governs the Union; that the influence of Newengland is reducing to a cypher—If we prove all this, the magic force of the word economy more than counteracts the whole. The demagogues of the day have much reason to say with Peter Pindar, "Economy is a very useful broom." For with this broom they sweep away the cogent arguments of their opponents as easily as if they were cobwebs. Hartf. pap.
Louisiana.—The salt mountain, the value of which our democrats had calculated to exceed some thousands of times, the price to be paid for Louisiana, has already disappeared, and another more serious evil now is threatened. It appears by the following extract, that a certain gentleman is authorized to sell lands within the territory claimed by the Emperor of Louisiana, the proceeds to be the property of the King of Spain. Who would not admire the wise arrangements of Mr. Jefferson and his friends, when on the same ground, we are "erecting ports of entry" and a Spanish Agent is selling the toll, for "the King his master."
NEW-ORLEANS, AUG. 5.
It was yesterday reported and this morning we are told from a correct source, that the late Spanish Intendant, Morales, has received orders from his court to sell all the vacant lands in East and West Florida, and it is said sales will be immediately made, even of lands within the boundary claimed by the United States
Counterfeiters.—By the Peacham, paper we find Samuel Spring, Russell Underwood, John St. Clair, and John Giles, were severally convicted at the session of the Superior Court in Orange County, Ver. of counterfeiting or passing bank bills of the N. H. Bank, payable at Philadelphia, Boston Branch Bank, Providence and Cheshire Bank. They were sentenced to stand in the pillory one hour for two or three successive days—to receive thirty-nine stripes, and pay fines from 20, to 400 dollars, according to the enormity of their offences.
Spring is an old offender, being concerned in the Burroughs Canada manufactory. The state has been benefited 4400 dollars, by the forfeiture of bonds from seven others.
The Court ordered sundry plates to be destroyed and 1000 dollars in counterfeit bills to be burnt.
In Savannah, a woman was lately apprehended, indicted, tried, found guilty, fined and imprisoned, for walking the streets, with her clothes a little higher, than the fashion.
A broadside at federalism.—The ship Sally , capt. Gilday, from Londonderry, arrived at Newcastle, on the seventeenth inst. with one hundred and fifty passengers on board—So we go. [Constitutionalist.]

By the last mail we received, from an anonymous correspondent at Washington, a letter, of which the following are extracts. We cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information they give. The writer affirms he is actuated by those motives; and he appears to have derived his intelligence from correct sources. We will not therefore withhold them from our readers.
WASHINGTON, SEPT. 23, 1805.
DEAR SIR—I have just seen the Centinel of the 21st inst. in which, a writer very natural attributes the conduct of our Philadelphia Peace-makers to jealousy of the additional fame to be acquired by our gallant Eaton, if he were suffered to go on. But the writer was indeed misinformed respecting the part which commodore Barron took in this hasty business. The blame will rest entirely on Lear, who, from the moment of Eaton's arrival, conceived a jealousy and formed a plan to defend his hopes to reinstate Hamet, at Tripoly and then, with the aid of his troops, to bring first Tunis, and Algiers to such terms as might be dictated by THE PRESIDENT of the United States. All the officers join in blaming Lear, as the prime mover of the mischief; for if Lear had consented, Eaton would have headed the 100 marines, and with 10,000 dollars, and the co-operation of the small vessels at the different fortified ports along the coast, on the march to Tripoly; would have succeeded. But this small assistance (and it was all he asked) was shamefully withheld; under what pretext I have yet to learn. But the cause will be stated by Eaton himself, should he ever arrive safe.
"The facts I transmit are obtained from our officers themselves; and they are communicated from the best motives—inquiry and justice. After the battle of Derne many deserters came in; but more, after a second battle, in which the reigning Bashaw's Mameluque guards were totally defeated, by Eaton's forces. The news of these defeats excited a movement toward insurrection in Tripoly; and the affrighted Bashaw, having learnt from the Danish Consul, the jealousy which Lear had of Eaton, sent to inform Lear, that "he should make no more propositions but to the brave General Eaton, who, he doubted not, would be more generous from a character he said he had of him." On this Mr Lear—from jealousy, as some of my informants say, and, as others to secure the few presents which are always made on such occasions, instead of waiting further, offered the Sixty Thousand dollars ransom. —At which the Bashaw pounced with the rapidity of an hungry hawk.
"I am assured, Our Executive is in possession of all these facts, and many more; but the part Mr. Lear is suspected of having acted in procuring the original of certain letters, and the copies of the answer of Gen Washington, on the subject of the famous Manzie letter, &c. will probably screen him, at the sous of inquiry.
"The officers present declare, they never were in danger from the mere secularization threats of the Bashaw; and that he had even asked, if he could be permitted to fly on board the American squadron, if life should be endangered by the pending revolution (in favor of his brother) of his own guards in Tripoly. Nothing can be more true, than that this vile usurper was ready to submit to any terms whatsoever. The only palliative which can bear, for the conduct of Lear, is that one of the officers told him he was frightened at the mock threats of the Bashaw; and that this officer will defend Lear: But Dr. Cowdry, who was permitted to act as physician to the Bashaw (Jussuf) has assured me, there never was the smallest danger of the lives of a single individual. Mr. Lear, I understand, was told, that Hamet Bashaw was a drunken sot, but from Mr. Eaton I can assure you, this is false. Mr. E. never saw him in the least disguised; on the contrary, that he is an amiable man, of a philanthropic, genteel and princely demeanor.
"I am assured, that Hamet Bashaw, Afsed Bey, and the young Bey of the next fortress to Derne, who arrived at the moment when Eaton was ordered out of Tripoly by Lear agreeably to the treaty, are expected here in the first ship. Gen. Eaton would have remained at Derne, and tried his fortune for the Ex-Bashaw; but from an apprehension it would appear like insurgency against the government of his country; and that Lear would try to injure his reputation at home. He has, I am told, written a series of letters, which the Executive will not show to any one at present. Time will disclose all things.
"A gentleman here, who left Mr. Eaton and his Mahometan friends, at Syracuse, says they were all extremely angry with Mr. Lear—who kept himself out of their way—The Ex-Bashaw and his friends now and then curse the Americans, as faithless Christian dogs! for they had been deceived by them, and not by poor Eaton. The latter is not to blame; he had reason, even to the last, to hope in the wisdom and honor of those who could (if jealousy or
something worse had not intervened) have enabled him to have exalted the fame of his country to an enviable height, and to have placed his amiable friend and our firm ally, where he ought to be.
"Mr Eaton, and the Bashaw, I am told, left Derne, in the night; and that the next day there was a massacre of all his Bedouin followers, to a very great number.—I hope this is not true."
Latest Foreign Intelligence.
By the arrival of the ship Galen at Boston, from London—Dates to August 18.
SUMMARY
It appears from the latest accounts, that the English government, in the East Indies, has experienced a series of ill success in their warfare against the numerous and powerful friends of Holkar, particularly in his strong hold, of Bhurpore. Terms of peace had been offered to the British; but refused, on any other principle, than that of an unconditional surrender. To this, it is said, the Rajah who had with him in the fortress, his family and treasure, had declared his determination, of blowing up the whole place should they obtain a halting there. To this account, however, it is added, "That previous to the sailing of the Packet, which brought the late despatches from India, a new negotiation was understood to have been opened; that several communications had been interchanged, and it was supposed that some kind of treaty would at length be concluded to the Court of Directors, contain intelligence, either of the actual termination of the war in India, or that there was every probability of its being speedily brought to a conclusion.
On the subject of an immediate coalition between Austria, and England, much speculation is made. The latest intelligence from the continent, states the increasing activity of Russia, who is assembling a large body of troops at Corsu for the purpose of making a descent upon Italy, under the protection of the British fleet in that quarter; and it is likewise reported, that a strong force is on its way to the southern frontiers of Poland, in order to cooperate with the troops of Austria, which are known to be assembling in that quarter; though under a pretext of maintaining an independent and safe neutrality. The establishment of this formidable coalition, uniting all the Northern powers, except Russia and Denmark, will bring against France a military force infinitely more powerful, vigorous, and better concerted than any of the former associations under that name.
It is correctly ascertained, that the Grand Signior, is augmenting and organizing his army; and that the most friendly intercourse exists between his government and the Ministers of Russia and England.
In addition to the general and uniform opinion which prevails in all parts of Europe, that an alliance of almost all the Northern Powers has been established against France, we are enabled to relate, on the authority of a private letter received here from a high source of respectability in London, that "a subsidy of 35,000,000, in specie, was then packing up at the Bank, destined principally for the continent; but to what power was not publicly known."
Letters from Madrid, state, that the most active preparations are going on in all the ports of Spain. At Cadiz four new ships of the line, one of 136 guns, were ready for sea.
The Emperor Napoleon arrived at Bologna on the 3d inst. and the following day reviewed the infantry, which were drawn upon the beach, and extended from Cape d'Aspre as far as Cape Grenez. The number of troops exceeded 112,000 and his majesty was on horseback from 10 in the morning, until 7 in the evening.
After a short stay at Bologna, Bonaparte will proceed to Helvotshuys and the Helder, to inspect the formidable preparations making at both those places.
It was thought that Bonaparte, on his visit to Holland, contemplated to receive in that country, the same honours he obtained in Italy. Switzerland, it was also said, would share the same fate.
The French and Italian troops, in upper Italy are estimated at 70,000.
Intelligence has reached England, that the whole of the French coast, from Morlaix to Bologna, is lined with troops for the avowed purpose of invading England; that the cannon, camp equipage ammunition, &c. provided for the grand expedition, is beyond all example; and that the soldiers speak of the invasion in terms of capture and enthusiasm. Some letters from the continent state that the expedition was to have taken place early in Aug; but a squadron of men of war which was expected from Rochefort, or Brest (more probably the French and Spanish fleet) had not arrived, but was momentarily looked for. No doubts appeared to be entertained, through-
cut the whole of the armed coast, which stretches from Brest to Toulon, but that the invasion of England shall be attempted, and that too immediately.
Such thorough and effectual measures of defence have been adopted in England, that the public spirit, instead of fearing appears to court the embrace of its invading enemy.
The combined French and Spanish squadron, after being joined by 7 ships of the line, supposed to be the L'Orient fleet, entered Ferrol on the 8th or 9th Aug. with a force of 37 sail of the line. Admiral Calder, with his fleet of 9 sail, having been forced to quit the blockade of that port, joined Admiral Cornwallis, on the 11th.
The escape of the combined fleets appears to have caused a great degree of dissatisfaction in England. The battle, though a victorious one, seems to have been below the hopes of that nation; murmurs begin to arise, and to grow louder by repeating. It is in fact stated, that the Court of Admiralty have judged it necessary to be made known, that an investigation of the conduct of Admiral Calder, would take place, a-greably to the provisional articles of war.
A dissolution of Parliament was expected to take place in the course of last month. Three percent Consols, 57 2 3.
LONDON, AUGUST 18.
It is a curious fact, that the natives of Owhyhee, where Capt. Cook left his life, have, since the era of the well known voyage of capt. Vancouver, made astonishing advances to dexterity and skill in our most useful European arts. Hama-hama, the king, is another Peter the Great. Capt. Vancouver laid down the keel of his first vessel in 1792.—He is now master of more than twenty vessels, some even copper-bottomed, of different sizes from 25 to 50 tons. He encourages Europeans to settle in the island, provided they be industrious, and acquainted with the arts which may be of use to them. He has a company of body guards, whom he makes to imitate the European discipline. He has a palace, built in the fashion of Europe, of brick, with glass windows. His subjects have learned to make trading voyages as far as the North-west coast of America. He has accumulated large stores of fire-arms, gun powder, hard ware and cloth of different sorts, more than he has occasion to consume. And it is a truth, however surprising it may appear, that he and his subjects already meditate the design of a trade with China, to be carried on in vessels of their own construction navigated by their own people. The population of the Owhyhees and the other Sandwich Isles has increased considerably since they were first discovered. On the contrary, that of Orahite, has, in between 30 and 40 years been diminished by doluteness, idleness, child murder, small pox, and a certain odious disorder, from 200,000 souls to a little more than 5000!
According to accounts which Dr. De Carro of Vienna has received from the East Indies, no less than 145,840 persons have been vaccinated there between the 1st of September 1802, and the 30th April 1804. The Rajah of Tangore is a zealous supporter of vaccination; and the Dewan of Travancore has himself submitted to the operation. Among the vaccinated persons were 414 Bramins, 41,801, Malabars, and 10,926 Mahometans.
The following circumstance is the subject of much conversation at Deal; —A large American ship, detained by the Boverto, sloop of war, on suspicion of having French property on board, was carried into the Downs, and reported to Admiral Halloway, who immediately ordered a detachment of men from his flag ship to take charge of her till she was inspected, with orders that none of the hatches should be uncovered. They had not been long on board, when they observed the mate go below with a lighted candle. He was instantly followed by three seamen of the Utrecht, who detected him in the act of setting fire to some gunpowder, which was prevented only by the seamen knocking the candle out of his hand. On searching further they found the vessel was laden with 60 bbls of gunpowder. Had the mate succeeded in his purpose, the mischief both to the men of war and merchantmen in the Downs, would have been incalculable. The fellow has been sent in irons on board the flag ship, and an inquiry will be immediately instituted into the cause of this diabolical attempt.
VIENNA JULY 29.
We understand that Sir Home Popham, has failed for Constantinople, for the purpose of instructing the Turkish navy in European tactics, at the request of the Grand Signior.
Bonaparte is stated to have demanded a categorical answer from the Court of Vienna, with respect to the object of its present extensive military preparations.
Bonaparte set out from St. Cloud on the
2d inst. to inspect the troops on the coast. It is thought, that from Boulogne Bonaparte will go to Holland, in order to unite that country to France in the same manner as Genoa; and that Switzerland will soon follow.
Neither the Moniteur , nor any other Paris Journals, have dared to insert the Note of M. Novosiltzoff. This, while it proves the wretched state of the press, is as convincing a proof as could be adduced, that Bonaparte is afraid to bring his cause to the test of fair examination. He is afraid to let his subjects see the true state of their affairs, or to possess the means of forming a judgment on the conduct of their rulers. There cannot be a stronger mark of tyranny and conscious guilt in a government.

CHARLESTON, SEPT. 24.
"The frigate Adams is still cruising off our bar; several of the officers came up to town yesterday in a pilot-boat.
"The Schooner St. Michael, from Baltimore, bound to Jamaica, with a cargo of dry goods, was captured and sent into Baracoa about the 7th inst. The orders of Gen. Ferrand to the privateers commissioned by him, are to capture all American vessels having on board dry goods to the amount of more than one hundred dollars, which are bound to either an English or Spanish port, where those articles are not permitted to an entry; and on this principle the St. Michael will undoubtedly be condemned.
Capt. Leberne, who arrived yesterday from Baracoa, informs, that about 900 people of color arrived at that place on the 1st inst. in two vessels from Port-au-Plat, on the Spanish side of St. Domingo. They stated that they had left that place in the search of the necessaries of life; but it was generally supposed they had been driven off by Gen. Ferrand, they having refused to assist him in his war against Dessalines."
BOSTON, OCT. 9.
Commercial Information.
Letters by the Galen communicate information highly interesting to the American Merchants, who are obliged to depend on private sources for that Commercial Information which ought to be afforded them by the government they support. They learn from England that, agreeably to the Laws of that kingdom, "Neutral vessels cannot go from the enemy's countries in Europe, with cargoes, or ice, even indirectly to their colonies; and that every vessel which attempts it by touching at Lisbon, Madeira, or the United States, for fresh papers and clearances, act imprudently; and will be liable to capture. All the American valuable expeditions to India, should originate in the United States."
"It has been ordered, that those neutral vessels, which shall have cleared out from enemy's ports in America, or West-Indies, prior to November 1, 1805, will be allowed to come to Great-Britain, or any port in Europe; but not after that time. American vessels from any other colony of France, Spain, or Holland, excepting as above, cannot now come to any port in Europe."
"No recent orders have been given by the English Admiralty to detain American vessels, as reported. The late detentions have been made by the commanders of cruisers, in consequence of the decision in consequence of the decision in cases of the Effex , and Enoch ."
A letter from Capt. Tyrell, of the Commerce , of Boston, dated, Yarmouth, 15 1805, says "Four of the American vessels lately detained, have been liberated, and have proceeded on their voyages.—I expect to-morrow.—We are not able exactly to inform you what their means, but suppose, it is on suspicion of having enemy's property on board. The Portsmouth, of Baltimore; and Hope, of Portland, are not yet liberated.—We are to pay we understand, if cleared, light money and pilotage. The vessels liberated are the Huntress, Chase; Herminie, Hopkins; Samuel, Eastbury; and Waite, of Portland."
From Lisbon.
Capt. Lathrop, arrived here yesterday, in 38 days from Lisbon, informs, that the combined French and Spanish fleets arrived off Cadiz, about the 29th August, but did not enter that port. He was informed, however, at Lisbon, that the squadron was destined for the Mediterranean; and that an English fleet, having gained intelligence of this event, had, two days after, gone in search of them. The name of the latter fleet he did not learn.
Last from France.
By an arrival, on Tuesday last, of the brig Acorn , capt. Poirier, Paris accounts to the 23d August, have been received. It does not appear, however, from the scanty intelligence which they furnish, that any events of importance had recently transpired on the continent of Europe. They men-

tion the return to Paris of the Emperor, from his tour and review of inspection on the coast; and state a report, that the camps were breaking up, and the troops filing off towards Germany. On the general occurrences of the foreign or internal relations of France, they are as collative as a Dutch Circular.
NEWBURYPORT, OCT 8.
Few instances of shipwreck, even at sea, bring more distress [exclusive of the loss of lives] than the following instance: Capt. Henry Brown, in the sloop Blue-Bird, a coaster between this town and Boston, returning from the latter place on Friday night last, there being a heavy swell, fortuitously got on shore, on North Point, in this river, and a heavy sea filled her. She was literally full of the most valuable merchandise in market, containing the fall and winter supply of a great number of our English goods merchants. By exertions, stimulated by the greatest anxiety, she was hauled in so near with Plumb Island, that at low tide the water left her so as to enable the people on Saturday and Sunday to effectually unload her. We have taken considerable pains to ascertain the value of her cargo; and shall speak on sure grounds when we say it amounted to between 80 and 100,000 dollars; and an intelligent merchant informs us that there will be an average loss of 40 per cent on the whole amount, others say 25, or less.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By arrivals at Boston, accounts have been received to August 27th. The prospect of a Continental war appears to increase daily. Bonaparte has demanded of the Austrian Cabinet the object of the armaments going forward in the Imperial States; and if not explained to his satisfaction, hostilities will commence—at the same time endeavouring to convince Austria that he is much disposed to be upon friendly terms. It does not appear that any measures have been taken by the French Government to effect a reconciliation with Russia. A Russian army of 118,000 men is said to be assembled at Dubno, in readiness to pass the frontiers at a short notice—[Dubno is situated within about 20 miles of Austrian Galacia; and it was from that place the Russians under Suwarrows commenced their march and operations against France, in 1799.] Lord Nelson has arrived in England, & was received with acclamations, at the place of Landing, and wherever he was known, on his way to London. He left 9 sail of his fleet with Admiral Cornwallis off Brest, on the 15th of August. A respectable fleet was to be placed under Lord Nelson's command, to be employed wherever it might be necessary.
LONDON, August 26 1805.
Mr. Elsworth the Messenger, who arrived on Friday, from Peterburgh, is understood to have brought his Imperial Majesty's Ratification of the treaty of Alliance with this country. The immediate accession of Austria to it may be expected, if it be true, as generally asserted, that the insolent tone and demands of France, have induced the emperor of Germany to require the execution of a treaty with Russia, by which the two powers bind themselves to assist each other under certain circumstances, with a stipulated force. Russia has willingly and instantly complied with the requisition, and 6,000 Russians are said to be actually on their march to the Austrian frontiers. A contract has been entered into by our government and that of Russia for building at St. Peterburgh and other Russian arsenals, 12 sail of the line and frigates, for the service of this country.
Mr. Anderson, who came to England with Madame Jerome Bonaparte, embarked on Sunday at Dover, in the Robert Brig, and failed for America. Madame Jerome Bonaparte will remain in England. The Russian fleet, of Cronstadt, and Revel, consisting of 18 ships of the line and some frigates, is now cruising in the Baltic. The British have 70 sail of the line in Europe, in service or ready for service. A late return of the French troops state them at near 500,000. A letter from Cadiz, dated Aug. 19, states, that a new duty of one dollar per barrel has been imposed on all flour imported into the ports of Spain. Cadiz and St. Lucas were rigorously blockaded.
DELEWARE—DOVER, OCT 3.
James Broom, esq. the federal candidate for Congress for this state, has been elected by a majority of 828, over Mr. Hall, our late governor, the democratic candidate. In our next Legislature we have a federal majority of three in the Senate and seven in the House. The election has terminated in the most gratifying manner.
Capt. Bainbridge, has published in the Philadelphia Register, an address of the Officers and crew, formerly of the frigate Philadelphia, to the Danish Consul at Tripoli, gratefully acknowledging his continued kindness and attention to them during their captivity. The crew subscribed a sufficient sum, and effected the redemption of a Neapolitan slave, who was placed as an overseer of them, and who generously did all in his power to render their unfortunate situation as comfortable as it would admit of being.

TOWN MEETING.
At a legal Meeting of the Inhabitants of this town, on Monday last, on the subject of Theatrical performances—The following votes were almost unanimously passed in a very full meeting, and ordered to be printed. Voted as the opinion of the Town. 1. That the Evil arising from a frequent attendance at a Theatre, or Play House, are greater than any advantage that can be derived therefrom. 2. That the establishment of a Theatre in this town, would not serve any good purpose, that it would have no tendency to the preservation of the peace and good order of the town—to the promotion of good habits, good morals, prudence, industry, sobriety, honesty, charity, or any of the virtues which render their possessors useful to each other, and do honor to a community—that it would in no way promote the interest of Religion, the true happiness of man, the good of our neighbors, or the glory of God, which ought to actuate us in public as well as in private life; but that it may and probably will have a contrary tendency. 3. That it is our right and duty to discourage the design which appears to have been formed of erecting a Theatre within the Town; and that whoever should attempt it, will counteract the interest and wishes and merit the displeasure of the town. 4. That lest any person or persons should, notwithstanding the opinion expressed in these votes, endeavor to carry that design into execution; application be made to the Legislature to pass a law to prohibit the same, and to prevent any theatrical performances here in future. 5. That the Selectmen be appointed a Committee to communicate these sentiments, and make such application to the Legislature in behalf of the town; and that the Representatives of the town be requested to use their endeavors to obtain such a law as will be effectual for these purposes. Attest, STEPHEN PATTEN, Town Clerk. Portland, Oct. 8, 1805.

For Sale, at T. CLARK'S Bookstore, Fish-Street, Portland—(Price 50 Cents per Box) DR. NORTHROP'S NEW INVENTED BITTERS, FOR THE JAUNDICE, and all BILLIOUS COM- PLAINTS.—Prepared in New York.
DIFFERENT from the patent medicines in general, that cure all diseases, this will not cure all but it will certainly cure some, especially those that arise from a wrong distribution of the bile which being effected is the greatest preventative to all disea- ses, and most conducive to health; it being an ex- cellent preventative against noxious vapors, unheal- thy rooms, and infectious diseases. The medicine that has nothing but high swelling words to recom- mend it to sale, ought not to be sold. The elixir of health, the elixir of life, the elixir of grace, &c, all have their virtues, but none of them will cure all the diseases of the human body—This is the elixir of nature the plain, natural produce of the earth, collected from trees, roots, plants, flowers, &c.—It is founded on medical principals, a most safe and effectual remedy against the jaundice and all those fatal disorders in the bowels, occasioned here- by, which carry off such a number of the human species. If a dose were given once or twice a day to all children especially when they are teething, you might thereby prevent many disorders the bow- els are liable to, by carrying off that crude matter which frequently occasions them, the bad effects whereof are often manifested by worms, rickets, convul- sions, or other fatal symptoms, by strengthening the stomach and bowels causing good, laudable chyle, and thereby establishing a good constitution. The author having been long in the study and prac- tice of physic, of a weakly constitution, much trou- bled with bilious habits, not able to find a medicine that would correct the bile and carry off the jaun- dice has made it his constant study in the course of his practice, to observe and find out by experiment a remedy for a disease so prevalent in these States as in the West Indies and other warm climates, to which we and others are so much exposed, and by repeated trials of sweet, sour, and bitter things, of those that were collyre or astringent, that set were physical or purgative, diuretic and diaphoretic; those that would strengthen, invigorate, and give a high tone to the stomach, bowels and body, as opi- ates, &c. or those that would moderate, relax, re- duce and calm the constitution, as sedatives. By trying them different ways with other ingredients, with different persons, at different times, in great va- riety of proportions, both simple and compound; has at last hit upon a compound of proper articles in a just proportion, that he will recommend as an ab- solute cure for the jaundice, and certainly to pre- vent and gradually to carry off and cure all those diseases that arise from the matter collected in the stomach, said to proceed from the over-ruling of the gall; not actually, arise from indigestion, viz. All kinds of nausea, squamish sickness, puking, belch- ing, hiccuping, heartburn; sour stomach, sleepy, out heavy feelings, pressure and distress of the vitals, with faintness, weakness, want of appetite, dim light, diz- iness &c. All these diseases and many more of the nervous kind, such as melancholy, dejection, hectic com- plaints, with pains in the head, sides, stomach, palpi- tation, dropsies, and low spirits, which arise from obstructions of morbid matter in the intestines, stomach and bowels, crudities and fumes of indiges- tion, which these bitters will actua-ly remove.—They in a remarkable degree promote digestion, by open- ing the prime viæ and clearing the biliary passages cre- ate a natural appetite, correct the bile, strengthen the coats of the stomach, and thereby supersede the necessity of any other physic.—No one need be a- fraid to take them. They are a pure cordial, for he weakly stomach.—They promote an easy digestion, and by increasing the dose, prove moderately phys- ical, by which means they regulate relaxes, dysenter- ies, &c. By clearing and keeping off all continu- ations of the bowels they prevent those disagreeable thoughts as well as feelings, that commonly arise from collyre habits. They are recommended to all by their charity and spectic people, as their comp-aints arise from chachexy, inanition of want or nonishment by constantly taking those they will find their ap- petite return, their mind more at ease and their whole body invigorated. Likewise to students sed- entary persons and all valuerunners, for they take away the fire and in existing quality of the rum that is always injurious. It is the most sovereign vermifuge, the most eff- ectual cure for worms that ever came into practice and ought to be kept in every family of children for no other purpose. 3m July 29.

Commonwealth of Massachusetts. YORK ss. At the Court of Common Pleas, begun and holden at Waterborough, within and for the county of York, on the fourth Monday of August, being the twenty-sixth day of said month, Anno Domini, 1805. Present, the Honorable Nathaniel Wells, Edward Cutts, and Jonas Clark, Esquires; Justices of said Court.
ON the petition of Stephen Bean, Gentleman, and Edward Smith, yeoman, both of Phillipburg, in said county, shewing, that they are tenants in fee sim- ple, and as tenants in common of and in a certain real estate, bounded as follows, beginning on the Norther- ly corner at Saco River, adjoining the Ruelle or Col- lege right, thence running South-West about 1295 rods to the West end of said Ruelle's right; thence South- West about 50 rods to land left off to Bath and White; thence running north-east on said Bath and White to Saco river; thence running up said river to the first mentioned bounds; being a part of the tract known by the name of the Barefoot's claim: containing three hundred acres, more or less.—The said Bean owning one undivided fifth part—and the said Smith owning one undivided fifth part—together with certain other persons unknown to the petitioners. And the peti- tioners praying for their said parts to be assigned and set over to them to hold in severalty. The said petition was entered at October term last, and continued to April term last, and thence to this term. And the petitioners having neglected to notify, a- greably to the orders of Court at said October and April terms: It is now ordered, that the petitioners cause the substance of their said petition, and this order therein to be published in the Portland Newspaper, printed by Adams & Jenks, and also in the Freeman's Friend, print- ed at Saco, three weeks successively in each paper, the last publication of each to be thirty days at least prior to the next term of this Court, to be holden at Biddeford, within and for said county of York on the first Monday of December next; to the end any per- sons interested may then and there appear and shew cause, if any they have, why the prayer of said peti- tion should not be granted. Attest, DANIEL SEWALL, Clerk.
To the honorable Senate and honorable House of Representatives, in General Court con- vened, at Boston, on the last Wednesday of May, current.
THE undersigned delegates from the towns of Frye- burgh, Brownfield, Porterfield, and Lovell, re- spectfully represent—that deeply impressed with a sense of the justice and impartiality of this honorable Court, they deem it their right and duty, at all times, to make known their grievances, and petition for a redress of the same.—That the formation and constitu- tion of the new county of Oxford, are extremely detri- mental to your petitioners—that said county, was for- med agreeable to the wishes of its projectors, contra- ry to the interest of your petitioners and all others in the western part of said county, and without their knowledge or consent—that although an order of notice had issued for dividing the county of York, at the fourth line of Lovell, about thirty miles from great Of- fice river, (the fourth line of the county of Oxford) and the Court of General Sessions for the county of York had appointed an agent to object to said division, unless it should be at said Office river, yet relying on the uniformity of procedure of this Honorable Le- gislature and believing that in other cases, even of much less importance, a division could not be effected until notice had been ordered and published, nor then contrary to said notice—your petitioners expected that no division unless at the said fourth line of Lovell, could be made, till after notice had been given to all con- cerned; and therefore considering objections made, before notice, premature, rested assured, that nothing could be done to their injury—That, if notice had been given of the intended formation of a new county according to the model of the county of Oxford, well- grounded and powerful objections might have been made; and in all probability would have convinced this honorable court, of the impropriety of such a measure. Your petitioners lamenting their calamitous situation, and reposing full confidence in this honora- ble court, do therefore pray your honors, to establish Fryeburgh a half third town, in and for said county of Oxford, and that the October term of the Courts of Common Pleas and General Sessions of the Peace may be held at said Fryeburgh, instead of Paris; and as in duty bound will ever pray.
