Collins' Bible.
PROPOSALS
OF ISAAC ADAMS and THOMAS CLARK, of Portland, to receive Subscribers to a Quarto Edition of the HOLY BIBLE; Generally known by the name of "Collins' Bible," containing an Apocrypha, the notes of Osterwald, and an approved Concordance.
The Publishers deem it both indecorous and unnecessary to dwell much on the merits of this edition. A large impression of the work having been before the public, its character must necessarily have been well ascertained. They might, however, do themselves an injustice not to state, that it has been generally adopted as a standard for correctness, by printers in this country, some of whom have mentioned in their title pages, as a recommendation, that they printed from "Collins' Edition." They ought, perhaps, also to add, that all the difficulties arising from the numerous variations, which are found in the English copies of the Bible, were referred to the decision of the late Dr. John Witherpoon, to Doctor Samuel Stanhope Smith, and other literary characters, who for that purpose, took great pains to collate all those copies in the original languages, to which they had access—and that the former spent much time and labor in compiling the preface to this edition.
The Publishers have often been impounded by different clergymen, and other religious and literary characters, to engage again in this arduous undertaking, and their reluctance to the task has not been overcome has not been overcome without a sense of the very great labor and care which a printer ought to bestow, in order to produce a perfectly correct Bible; nor until they had made arrangements for insuring the accomplishment of the new edition in as perfect a state as that which they have already before the public.
In order to accommodate every class of readers, notes of Osterwald will be printed separate from the Bible, and can, therefore be bound up with it, or otherwise, as shall best suit the wishes of the purchasers. The same accommodation will also be observed with respect to the Apocrypha, as some persons do not choose to have this incorporated with the Sacred Writings.
CONDITIONS.
The Bible will be handsomely printed on fine wove paper, worth 5 dollars and 25 cts. per ream, and a beautiful new type, cast expressly for the purpose. To be well bound in Calf or Sheep, at the option of the purchasers. The work being already in the press, subscribers may depend that no exertions will be wanting to have it completed as speedily as possible.
Persons who procure, and become responsible for twelve subscriptions, shall be entitled to the thirteenth copy gratis.

Biographical.
From the Louisiana Gazette.
Biographical Sketch of the late Col. THOMAS BUTLER.
THE characters and actions of meritorious men, in all ages, have been read with pleasure. It is a tribute due to virtue, to record the actions of those who are worthy of emulation. Our country is and has long been at peace—war achievements and war-like men, are almost forgotten; unless when a newspaper announces in a few lines the death of some revolutionary chief—and the type has not been employed in recording the death of one more lamented than the late Col. Thomas Butler. If virtue, honor, benevolence, honesty, a sound heart and clear head, united with bravery, constitute a good man, he possessed them. He was in the year 1776, (the year that is so much boasted of— that tried men's souls ), a student at law with the eminent Judge Wilson of Philadelphia; early in the year he quit his studies and joined the army as subaltern—soon arose to the grade of captain, and continued in it till the happy and glorious close of the revolution—There were five brothers of the Butlers that joined the American cause, and fought during the war, and left the service with the following grades, viz. Col. Richard Butler, Col. William Butler, Capt. Thomas Butler, Lieut. Pierce Butler and Lieut. Edward Butler—none of them now living but Pierce Butler. Thomas Butler, whose memory we wish to perpetuate, was in almost every action that was fought in the middle states during the war—at the battle of Brandywine, he received the thanks of the illustrious Washington on the field of battle, through his aid-de-camp Gen. Hamilton, for his intrepid conduct in rallying a detachment of retreating troops, and giving the enemy a severe fire. At the battle of Monmouth, he received the thanks of Gen. Wayne for defending a defile in the face of a heavy fire from the enemy, while Col. Richard Butler's regiment made good their retreat—history records the unfortunate events of that day.—At the close of the war he retired into private life as a farmer, where he enjoyed rural and domestic happiness until 1791: when he again took the field to meet a savage foe, that menaced our frontier, and the unfortunate 4th of November, of that year, is too well known! He was dangerously wounded, and with great difficulty and with great hazard, his brother capt. Edward Butler got off the field, where they left Gen. Richard Butler a corpse! In 1792, he was continued on the establishment as a Major, and was promoted in 1794 to Lieut. Col. Commandant of the 14th sub legion,—He commanded Fort Fayette at Pittsburgh that year, when his name alone (for he had but few troops) prevented the deluded insurgents from taking the Fort. In 1797 he was named by President Washington as the officer best calculated to command in the state of Tennessee, when it was necessary to dispossess some citizens that had imprudently settled on the Indian lands; accordingly in May of that year he marched with his regiment for the Miami on the Ohio, and by that prudence and good sense that has ever marked his character through life, he in a short time removed all difficulties, to the satisfaction of those concerned—and as a firm and lasting proof of it, he holds the respect and esteem of all the virtuous men in the state. He made several successful treaties with the Indians while in the state of Tennessee. In the year 1802, at the reduction of the army, he was continued as Col. of the 2d. Regiment of Infantry on the peace establishment. Here his biographer stops—pauses—what can he write more? He can announce to the world that Col. B. was arrested by the Commanding General in 1803, at Fort Adams on the Mississippi, sent to Frederic-Town, Maryland, where he was tried by a General Court Martial, and acquitted honorably of all the charges, except wearing his hair, which he held as a gift of nature, and was of opinion, that no power on earth had a right to take it from him—which opinion he held till his death.—After his trial he was ordered to New-Orleans, there to take command of the troops which he did on the 20th of Oct. 1804. and on the 20th Nov. following was again arrested for not cropping off his hair! and not until the 6th of July did a court convene for his second trial—the result of their decision is not yet known. Since his last arrest he lost his wife, who, like himself, was justly lamented by the good and
virtuous.—She died at Nashville Tennessee. In consequence of her death and the deranged situation of his affairs, he solicited leave from the Hon. Secretary of War, and the Commanding General to return to Tennessee so soon as the Court Martial was over.—No answer to this application was ever given! He was advised to move out of the city, which he did in the latter part of July, and on the 7th of September paid the great debt of Nature, aged 51 years—he has left three sons and one amiable daughter to lament his loss; yes, and he has left a virtuous world of his acquaintance to lament his loss; and none will feel it more severely than the valuable part of the army of all grades.
The writer of this short biography does not wish to wound the feelings of the prosecutor of the deceased; he himself is old, and will soon have to pay the debt that Col. B. has already paid. Comparison can then be made by the friends to virtue which of their walks in life were most worthy of imitation.

No. II.
AS you have commenced an attack on me for adhering to principles in exclusion of men, I think it my right, in my turn, to commence a similar attack on you for adhering to men in exclusion of principles; and I do therefore now, tax both you and your leaders of having changed your professions, particularly with respect to the salaries of the secretaries, and certain other officers of the general government. It is an incontrovertible fact that the whole people, claiming themselves to be republicans, both in and out of congress, rulers and ruled, were all professedly dissatisfied with the federal act passed under Adams' administration, raising the salaries of the secretaries and certain other officers of the general government, and we did all of us avail ourselves, of this circumstance; and it was of all others the most availing argument in turning the people over to the republican interest; for in this they felt that their purses were concerned. The people were easily led to believe and see that five thousand dollars given to a secretary barely for his attendance and services for one year was unreasonable and extravagant, no capital being employed and required in the business; while on the other hand they well knew that a farmer with a capital of fifteen thousand dollars employed; together with his unremitting application through all the inclemencies of the season, through heat and cold, through wet and dry, returning every night to his habitation, weary from the laborious field could not make a quarter that sum. They therefore viewed the measure to be both ungenerous and unequal, tending to make lords of the rulers, and tenants of the ruled. These were the pleas made use of by the leading republicans. And those pleas and arguments so made use of were tantamount to an express engagement on their part, in the event of a change of men to redress this grievance. And it was from an express expectation of such redress that the farmers and laboring part of the community, who always have the money to pay instead of having it to receive, did exert themselves, and did in fact effect a change of men. Let me ask you, Mr. Allen, what was the result? No man needs at this time to be informed that no sooner than our leaders had effected their design of displacing others and establishing themselves, than they with brazen front turned upon their heel, deserting their late pretensions and professions, and did in fact, in this case enhance the burden of their credulous friends, the farmers and mechanics who had just raised them to place and power. For instead of diminishing the salaries as was expected, they revived the federal act which raised them for a short period, while things were bearing war prices, and directly modelled the thing again, and in several instances raised the salaries still higher, and this has been continued, ever since. So that IT IS A FACT, not to be denied, that republicans have from year to year taken MORE WAGES from the FARMER and MECHANIC in times when things bear peace prices than the federalists ever had HARDHOOD to do while things bore war prices. I call on you now to reconcile your professions with your practice. In this particular case I shall have no ear, to hear you lug in other remote and

foreign circumstances, and undertake to attach them to this, this being a case by itself unconnected with any other, and this being a circumstance by itself, by you particularly and pointedly, clamored against, in the federalists.
Tom, how do you get along with such palpable inconsistencies and impropriety of conduct? Have you any pride left? If you have, I imagine your face must redden with confusion when attacked by your political opponents. I can indeed discover no other method for you to ward off the blow, when attacked by discerning federalists, than that which I have adopted, which is immediately to fall before them and acknowledge your disappointment and mortification, that we have failed of the expected redress, that we were better off in the hands of federalists in this case, than we were in the hands of republicans, that it was a palpable desertion of professions, if not an intrigue to get in themselves; that it was an insult upon the credulity and confidence of their friends; that I felt sufficiently mortified and mortified and chagrined, and therefore implore their clemency. In this way and in this only have I been able, invariably, to get along when attacked by discerning and acute federalists. I would further wish to ask you what you do you think of the farmers and mankind in general? Do you think they are natural fools and dupes, and do not see these things and feel the insult too, or do you think they had a particular choice to pay five thousand dollars to you, instead of paying it to another; or I might with propriety have asked, whether you think that the people had a particular preference or choice to pay to you something over five thousand dollars rather than pay another just five thousand dollars? Is this like the economy of our farmers? Will they give one merchant five dollars for an article of the same kind and quality which they can have of another merchant for four dollars, No, Tom, I think you cannot calculate with any degree of certainty that they will do this more than once or twice knowing it. They will soon spurn indignant the flattering tone of the merchant who has thus deceived them. But I begin to think that all this will amount to as good evidence to you of a change of politics, as my voting that it was the duty of the state governments to watch over the rights guaranteed to them by the constitution, &c.
I will wait on you again at another opportunity upon the subject of the excises. PHILANDER RATHBUN. West Stockbridge, October 9th 1805.
LATEST Foreign Intelligence.
Received by the ship Frederick, Capt. Moore, in 37 days from Liverpool.
Stuttgart, Oct. 5. —The French Troops are marching on all sides, from the Rhine to the Danube. This city, and all the environs, are full of troops. The French have published, that war is declared. It is said, that the head quarters of the French will be transferred to Louisburgh. The Emperor took his residence there, in the night between the 2d and 3d of this month; soon after which, at the publication of war, a courier arrived here from Louisburgh, and two foreign Ministers, with their Secretaries of Legation, and a Counsellor of State and Charge d'Affaires , were immediately arrested. They were not permitted to go out nor to speak to any person whatever.
Swabia, Oct. 3. —On the 1st of October, the first act of hostility took place at Vaihingen, in the territory of Württemberg, An Austrian patrol of cavalry being surrounded by a French detachment to retire and refusing, were obliged to surrender prisoners.
Mentz, Oct. 5. In a few days, the six principal corps of the great army, which is rapidly advancing towards Swabia and Bavaria, in the direction of Newburg and Ingolstadt, will have formed a junction; they amount in the whole to 140,000 men. It is reported to-day, that Count Phillip Cobentzel has passed through Strasburgh, on his return from Paris.
The Electors of Bavaria, Württemberg, and Baden, have joined their troops to the French.
Bayreuth, Oct. 4. —The army of Marshal Bernadotte, 20,000 strong, passed in two columns, on the 3d of October, through the Margraviate of Anspach, notwithstanding the representation of the Prussian Generals and Ministers. It is stated that the army of General Marmont, joined by the Bavarian troops, will take the same road. Major Howen, at the head of his squadron, offered to oppose the passage of the French; but General Kellerman, at the head of 800 men, declared he would pass by force. The representations of Baron Schlegel, the Minister of His Majesty, were equally vain.
The French Generals declared that they had positive orders to effect their march through the Margraviate.
Banks of the Rednitz, Oct. 5. —Yesterday afternoon, a Bavarian Column, of 16,000 men, infantry and cavalry, from the camp at Forcheim, appeared unexpectedly, before Bayersdorf, and prepared to enter the Prussian territory. The strongest protestations were made against this proceeding, on the part of the Prussians; but the Bavarian General replied, that he had express orders for what he did, that he would pass by force. The thirty grenadiers who were there, being unable to make any resistance, the column proceeded by Seebach, Schallushoff, and Fach, at Furth. They encamped on the head of that name where another Bavarian column is expected to-day, which will make an army of 30,000 men. The French are, in like manner, on their march to join the Bavarians; and, it is supposed, in conjunction with them, will penetrate towards Nuernberg, in order to take the Austrians in flank and rear.
Franconia, Oct. 5. —Circumstances here have suddenly changed. It was supposed, that the French were drawing towards Bohemia, but they have suddenly turned to the South, towards the Danube, in order, as it appears, to take the Austrians in flank. Bernadotte is marching by Uffenheim, towards Neustadt; Marmont by Mergentheim, towards Donauwerth; and the Bavarian corps under Leroi, towards the Ingolstadt.
To arrive the sooner at their destination, the foreign troops have entered the Prussian territory. The principal column has entered the territory of Anspach, at Offenheim. A protestation has been made by the Prussian Minister, Plenipotentiary, Baron Von Schlegel, against this violation of the Prussian territory.
Berlin, Oct. 8. —His Prussian Majesty, proposes to set out in a few days, to comply with the request of the Emperor of Russia. The interview of the two Sovereigns was to be at Pulavi; but it appears that the departure of His Majesty is deferred.
Major Haake is returned, and has brought to our Sovereign a letter, from the Emperor Alexander, in the hand-writing of that Monarch.
Roveredo, Sept. 27. —The head-quarters of the Archduke Charles will to day be removed from Padua to Vicenza. The spirit of the Austrian army in Italy, is excellent; the regiments have mutually sworn to each other, not to retreat before the enemy; but to conquer, or die.
Vienna, Oct. 2. —His Excellency Count Haugwitz, the Prussian Minister, arrived here on the 26th of September. It is known that the object of the journey of his Excellency is to maintain the tranquillity of Europe, and to conciliate, by the means of mediation, the powers which are on the brink of a rupture. It is said, that our court is much inclined to this reconciliation, under certain conditions, and especially if security can be obtained.
It is believed that the Emperor will be present at the approaching interview between the Emperor Alexander, and the King of Prussia.
BONAPARTE'S SPEECH.
PARIS, SEPT. 28. On the 21st inst. the Emperor met the Legislative Senate; and delivered the following most gracious speech from the throne:
SENATORS IN the present circumstances of Europe, I feel the necessity of appearing in the midst of you, and of making known to you my sentiments.
I AM about to quit my capital to put myself at the head of my army, to carry a speedy succour to my allies and to defend the dearest interests of my people.
THE wishes of the eternal enemies of the continent are accomplished: War has begun in the heart of Germany. Austria and Russia have united with England; and our generation is drawn anew into all the calamities of war. A few days ago, I still hoped that peace would not be disturbed; menaces and outrages found me impassible; but the Austrian army has crossed the Inn; Munich is invaded, the Elector of Bavaria is driven out of his capital; all my hopes are vanquished.
IT is at this instant that the wickedness of the enemies of the continent has unveiled itself. They were yet apprehensive of the manifestation of my profound love of peace; they were apprehensive lest Austria, at the sight of the abyss which they had dug under her footsteps, should return to sentiments of justice and moderation: they have hurried her into war. I am grieved at the blood it will cost Europe; but the French name will obtain a new lustre from it.
Senators, when at your desire, at the voice of the whole French people, I set the Imperial crown upon my head, I received from you, from every citizen, the engagement to maintain it pure and unspotted. My people have given me in every circumstance proofs of their confidence and their love. They will fly under the colours of the Emperor and of his army, which in a few days will have passed the frontiers.
Magistrates, Soldiers and Citizens, all with to maintain the country free from the influence of England, who, if she prevailed, would grant us only a peace surrounded with ignominy and shame, and the principal conditions of which would be the burning of our fleets, the filling up our ports, and the annihilation of our industry.
All the promises I have made to the French people, I have kept. The French people, in their turn, have taken no engagement with me that they have not surpassed. In this circumstance so important for their glory and mine, they will continue to merit that name of Great People with which I flattered them in the midst of the fields of battle.
Frenchmen, your Emperor will do his duty my soldiers will do theirs, you will do yours.
By the Quails.
RICHMOND, NOV. 16. On Thursday a public dinner was given by the citizens of Richmond, to our brave countryman General Eaton, to testify their grateful sense of his distinguished services and heroic enterprize, in the expedition to Denne. Among the guests were the Chief-Justice of the United States, &c. &c. The toasts were judicious and patriotic.
Gen. Eaton has communicated for publication a letter from Mr. Mountford, Chargé d'Affaires at Algiers, to Capt. Campbell, dated Algiers, Sept. 9, 1805, stating, that on the 30th August the soldiers rose in a body, and murdered the Dey, and his Prime Minister. That a new Dey was immediately elected, and that not a life was lost except the above mentioned.
BOSTON, NOV. 27. LITERARY.—A periodical work will shortly be published in this town, entitled The Polyanthos .—Each number will be embellished with the portrait of some distinguished character; and is intended to contain Biographical Sketches, (particularly of those who have distinguished themselves in America)—Moral and Literary Essays, History: Theatrical Notices, Poetry, &c. Literary gentlemen, who write on any of these subjects, for their own relaxation, or the amusement of others, are respectfully invited to send a portion of their productions to the editor. Communications superfluous, "for the Polyanthos ," left at the Bookstore No. 43, Newbury-st. or at the Union Circulating Library, No. 5, School-street, will be gratefully accepted. The first number, which will be issued in a few weeks, will be ornamented with an elegant portrait of Commodore Preble, from an original likeness, taken at Naples.
Horrible Murder! —On the night of the 10th inst. a man named Abel Clemmons, at his place of residence upon the lands of Col. George Ekston, near Clarkburg, (Virg.) under circumstances of the most unprecedented cruelty, murdered his wife far advanced in pregnancy, and their 8 small children, the eldest about 12 years old, by striking them on the head with an ax while they were asleep in three separate beds, lying in the same room! He escaped!

PORTLAND, MONDAY, December 2, 1805.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By the Ship Frederic, capt. Moore, who arrived at this port on Saturday, in 37 Days from Liverpool, we have been favoured with London dates to October the 18th.—They confirm the intelligence of Bonaparte's having declared WAR against Austria. This event took place the 27th of September, immediately after which Bonaparte left Paris to command in person, the army formed to oppose the Austrians.
On the 30th of September, Citizen BACHER, the French Chargé des Affaires to the Diet at Ratisbon, presented a Note, full of rancour and violence against Austria, and charges her with being the enemy of Bavaria, and with meditating the destruction of that Electorate.
Bonaparte having persuaded the Elector to believe that this charge is true, a convention was executed between them on the 27th of September, which stipulates, that the Bavarian troops shall join the French army; and that the fortress of Wurtzburg shall be delivered up to the latter.—Both which conditions have been carried into effect.
PARIS OCT. 6.—This day a Message ( a la mode de Jefferson ) from the Emperor, was read in the Senate, informing that he had appointed the Grand Elector Joseph, ( Bonaparte's Brother ) to preside over the civil administration during his absence.—The Senate voted thanks to the Emperor, and sent a deputation to Joseph Bonaparte, expressive of their satisfaction, at his nomination.
The first column of the Russian army, 56,000 strong, reached the Bavarian frontiers the 8th of October.
The Emperor Alexander left Petersburg on the 21st September, accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prince Czarsky, Gen. Winsinjerode, and several other Generals; the 26th arrived at Pulavi, which is considered very rapid travelling, and were to proceed to Vienna, where apartments in the Imperial palace were fitted up for the reception of the Emperor. Accounts speak in high terms of the order and discipline of the Russian troops.
The new levy of troops ordered in Russia, to augment the present military force, is fixed at the rate of four men for every 500 souls, throughout the Empire—this according to the present population of Russia will amount to 240,000 men.
Prussia, it appears is endeavouring to prevail on the Hans Towns, and petty Princes of the Empire, to contribute to the maintenance of the cordon which is to preserve the neutrality of North Germany.
The neutrality of Switzerland has been formally proclaimed.
The annals of Europe do not afford an instance, when such powerful and well appointed armies have been brought into the field, as at present: three Emperors have quitted their palaces for the " tented field ," aided by Generals who have grown grey in the camp . The troops of Austria, Russia, and France, in readiness for immediate operation, are stated at upward of 700,000.
The Austrian troops which have already taken the field, amount to 200,000, and are to be divided into two armies; the first consisting of 130,000 men, commanded by the Emperor Francis II. in person, assisted by the veteran Gen. Mack, Duke Ferdinand, and Prince John of Schwarzberg.
The army in Italy will be commanded by the Arch Duke Charles, having under him the celebrated General Belgrade, and Prince John—the army of reserve is composed of 280,000 men.
The Russian troops, most of which have reached the post of destination, amounts to 122,000. The Grand Duke Constantine, (brother to the Emperor) the veteran Gen. Rutusoff, and Prince Panceration are Commanders. Those are followed by the Emperor with powerful reinforcements.
The French army now in motion amounts to 200,000 men, the principal part of which is assembled upon the banks of the Rhine, and is commanded by Bonaparte in person. The army in Italy which is to consist of 100,000 men, is commanded by Marshal Massena.
LONDON, OCT. 18.—The Hamburg mail due on Wednesday, arrived this morning, with letters and papers to the 12th inst. They bring an account of new crimes and aggressions committed by Bonaparte against the laws of nations, and the sacred rights of the diplomatic character. At Stuttgart, two Foreign Ministers, with their four Secretaries of Legation, one Counsellor of State, and a Chargé d'Affaires, have been arrested, and are now in close custody, debarred from all communication with their friends. This order was issued by Bonaparte, from Louisburgh, in the night between the 2d and 3d instant. This atrocious mandate could meet with no resistance. Stuttgart, and its vicinity, were filled with French troops. A corps of 8,000, under Marshal Ney, had entered that city on the 30th of September. The diplomatic characters thus arrested, are not named, but they were probably the Ministers of Austria, Russia, and England. But this is not all. The French and Bavarian troops have entered the Prussian territories by force. The army of Marshal Bernadotte, 20,000 strong, passed, in two columns, on the 3d of October, through the Margraviate of Anspach, notwithstanding the representations of the Prussian Generals and Ministers. Major Howen, at the head of his squadron, offered to oppose the passage of the French; but General Kellerman, at the head of 800 men, declared he would pass by force. The representations of Baron Schlegel, the Minister of His Majesty, were equally vain. The French Generals declared that they had positive orders to effect their march through the Margraviate.—On the next day, a Bavarian column of 16,000 men, infantry and cavalry, from the camp at Forcheim, appeared, unexpectedly, before Bayersdorf, and prepared to enter the Prussian territory. The strongest protestations were made against this proceeding, on the part of the Prussians; but the Bavarian General replied, that he had express orders for what he did, and that he would pass by force. The thirty grenadiers who were there, being unable to make any resistance, the column proceeded by Seebach, Schallushoff, and Fach, at Furth.—The Prussian Minister, at Anspach, has protested against this proceeding. On the receipt of intelligence of this event at Berlin, a grand council of state was held in that city, but the result was not known. These events are of great importance, and may serve the cause of Europe more than the most brilliant victory over the troops of the usurper. If Prussia be not in collusion with France, this violation of her territory must unite her to Austria, or certainly alienate her from France. The arrest of the diplomatic corps, at Stuttgart, also farther develops the hideous character of Bonaparte.—At the moment when he boasts of the accession of the Duke of Württemberg to his cause, he insults him in his capital, and subjects him to the greatest mortification which a sovereign can endure. If such be Bonaparte's treatment of his Allies, what are his enemies to expect? Surely, if any thing were wanting to enflame the indignation of the Continental Powers against the Usurper, his conduct at Stuttgart would suffice.
Extract from a private Letter dated St. Petersburg, Sept. 24. "On Thursday last, the Emperor, accompanied by the Prince Czarskiy, Gen. Novosiltzoff, &c. set off to join the army on the frontier: (the place of rendezvous is Brezlitoffsky) whither, it is said, the British and Austrian Ministers will shortly follow. The Russian army already marched amounts to 320,000 men, the army of reserve consists of 300,000, and a general recruiting has taken place, which is to produce 250,000 more."

WESTED, OCT. 2. The Count General Tolstoy, who is to command the Russian troops in this neighbourhood, arrived here yesterday in a Russian frigate. The transports, with the troops on board (which are said to amount to 22,000 men) are in sight.
The Dey of Algiers was murdered on the 30th of July; and the high priest of the nation compelled to accept the Deyship. The people first offered it to a military chief. He declined, and recommended the Mufti. "Why did not you accept," (said the priest to the soldier) "you have an arm." "Yes, (replied the soldier) but you have a head." A tolerable double entendre—as there are two ways in which the head is often put in requisition by the Turks. The Mufti's government is expected to be mild. Pal.
"FRENCH HUMANITY" A letter from a gentleman at Charleston, dated Nov. 6, 1805, received last evening, says, "You will have heard of the capture of the British ship Ether , off our port, a few days ago, by a French privateer schooner. I heard the cannonading very plain. From all accounts the Britons fought very bravely; but were inhumanly butchered after capture. The Captain was cut in pieces in his cabin by seven Frenchmen, with one Russ, an American at their head." The Charleston papers contain a very detailed account of this violation of neutral ground and unexampled barbarity.  Cent.
"BRITISH CRUELTY" The Consul of the U. S. at Maderia, has written a very handsome letter to capt. Rawley, of His Britannic Majesty's ship of war Raisable , attributing to the exertions of the officers of that ship, at the hazard of their lives, the preservation of the ship Octavian of New York, and her cargo, when on fire, and in imminent danger of being destroyed. Capt Rawley returned a polite answer, in which he observed "We feel every satisfaction in the success of our endeavors to preserve a ship bearing the flag of the United States of America." Pal.

POETRY.
THE VICTIM OF SEDUCTION.
THE rough wind whistles o'er the plain, The storm descends with floods of rain, The thunder rolls, the lightnings glare, And sable clouds obscure the air.
When on the heath a female form Stood, unprotected from the storm: Her tattered clothes were drench'd with rain, And deep her bosom throbb'd with pain.
Her looks were sad, her cheeks were pale, Her matted locks flow'd in the gale; Her streaming eyes, and scanty dress, Bespoke her misery and distress.
The piercing hail her bosom beat, And naked were her trembling feet; She closer wrapt her ragged cloak, And thus in broken accents spoke:
"Cast off, infatuated, doom'd to rove, The victim of ungenerous love, Of hope bereft, my prospects drear, My broken heart no friend to cheer.
"Oh! Henry, could'st thou see me now, How would'st thou mourn thy broken vow? Repentance sure, would wring thy heart, For acting such a faithless part.
"For well thou know'st, that by thy way My simple heart was led astray; 'Twas thou who forc'd me thus to roam, And leave my doting parents' home.
"Perhaps, o'er now, with gestures wild, They mourn their hapless, guilty child; Perhaps—Oh, dreadful, cruel thought! I've to the grave my parents brought!
"But see—the storm drives fast away, And soon will shine the morning ray: But ne'er shall I that morning see; For clos'd in death my eyes will be!"
Beneath yon yew tree's gloomy shade, Neglected lies the hapless maid; With none to weep her early doom, Or deck with flowers her lonely tomb!
"To aid the cause of virtue and religion."
Propagation of the Gospel.
To all who love the prosperity of Zion, and are disposed to aid in propagating the Gospel among the heathen.
The subscriber, lately returning from a voyage to the East-Indies, touched in Eu- rope, and was in London in August last, when he received from the Baptist Mission- ary Society, in England, for propagating the Gospel among the heathen, one thou- sand guineas, to be sent in the Spring to the Missionaries in Bengal, for the purpose of printing the sacred Scriptures in one of the languages of that country. There are seven languages that the Missionaries there aim to translate and publish the scriptures in. They have made such progress in three of them, that it is expected the above sum will enable them to complete the work.—This money is now in the hands of Robert Ral- ston, Esq. of Philadelphia, who will for- ward it in due time. Should any individual society or congregation in the U. States of America be disposed to contribute to this good work, Mr. Ralston will gladly receive whatever may be sent to him for that pur- pose, and add to it the above sum, to be forwarded to the Missionaries, at Seram- porc, near Calcutta.

Humour.
An eccentric Barber, some years ago, o- pened a shop under the walls of the King's Bench prison—The windows being broken when he entered it, he mended them with paper, on which appeared "Shave for a penny," with the usual invitation to custom- ers; and over his door was scrawled the following poetry;
Here lives Jemmy Wright, Shaves as well as any man in England, Almost—not quite.
FOOTE, (who loved any thing eccentric,) saw these inscriptions, and hoping to extract some wit from the author, whom he justly concluded to be an odd character, he pulled off his hat, and thrusting his head through a paper pane into the shop, called out, "Is Jemmy Wright at home?" The Barber immediately forced his own head through another pane into the street, and replied, "No, Sir, he has just popped out.—FOOTE laughed heartily, and gave the man a guinea.
A Jew pedlar travelling through Flint- shire, being exhausted with fatigue, called for refreshment at a little Welsh alehouse, where they could furnish him with nothing but eggs and bacon, which were according- ly fried and brought to the table. The first morning he put in his mouth there happened to be a clap of thunder that made the house shake again.—"Good God Almighty!" (cried Moses,) "what a 'fists here is about a bit of bacons—take it away!"
