CHARACTER OF THOMAS JEFFERSON,
President of the United States. By ALLAN B. MAGRUDER, Of Lexington, (Ken.)
THE superior distinction which Mr. Jefferson has acquired, in the political world, was founded upon the alliance of virtue and fortune. Great events give birth to great talents. It is not difficult to say, however, that had the revolution in America never taken place, he would have arisen to considerable fame, in the republics of letters and philosophy. The advantages of an excellent education, habits of application and study, were circumstances that gave to his mind an inclination for philosophical and literary pursuits.—His Notes on the State of Virginia, a work though incomplete, and considered merely as bearing the features of its title, is however not without considerable merit.—It discovers a mind at once sagacious and inquisitive; and capable, by the gradual means of experiment and rational deduction, of unfolding the sublime principles of truth.—But the same great event which has immortalized the genius of American patriotism, and drawn from obscurity the most brilliant talents in the field and the cabinet, paid an equal tribute to the virtues of Mr. Jefferson, and gave him distinction in the first rank of statesmen.—At the first shock of that convulsion, which eventually separated the continent of America from Great-Britain, the philosophical apparatus fell from his hand. Governed by that genuine patriotism which sacrifices private interest to public felicity, he exchanged rural ease and retirement for the bustle of active life, the amusements of the laboratory, for the more interesting duties of the cabinet.—In this situation, Mr. Jefferson appears to have been designed by fortune, and accident, to combine with the solidity the durability of a reputation. His advancement was gradual; and every step of it, was marked by a display of talents that was equally honorable to himself and competent to the difficulties occasioned by the precipitancy of events. There is a contemplative activity which sacrifices personal dignity and independence to the rage of ambition and the desire of fame. Not contented with the internal consciousness of deserving applause, and waiting, with composure, for the period which shall bestow it, it goes in search of unmerited laurels, and courts the acquisition, at the expence of every sentiment of delicacy and propriety.—This imputation never tarnished the character of Mr. Jefferson. The suffrages of his country were wisely disposed of. He deserved consideration and he obtained it. He never followed fame; but fame appears to have pursued him, through every department, in which fortune or accident may have placed him. An understanding clear and sagacious, integrity unpolliuted by public reproach or private malice, and principles whose soundness and moderation are the best testimonies of their sincerity, were qualifications that called him to the highest departments of state. It may be permitted to give an opinion of the political principles of Mr. Jefferson, it will be drawn from the aggregate qualifications of his character.—This mode, however, may be a very fallible one in forming the judgment; because the most manly virtues, and the most brilliant intellects, are, too frequently, in conflict with the latent feelings of the heart. But it would be uncharitable, in the present instance, to conceive of a disparity, which nothing confirms and every thing refutes. It would be barbarous to violate the sentiments of benevolence; and to reproach the judgment with a defect, without the evidence of truth and reason.—It is difficult to make the progress of personal interest, in the actions of a man, every part of whose conduct has been connected together, by a chain of uniform morality, whose tone is decisive, whose style and language, clear and nervous, whose principles convey the reality of justice and the convictions of experience and reflection.
The political principles of Mr. Jefferson, are drawn from an expanded intellect, that consults the oracles of nature and reason as its only guides.—Born at a period when the whole universe was convulsed by the conflicting passions of mankind; his study is to reconcile the jarring elements and to extract felicity and order from misery and confusion. Experience and observation have pointed out to him the wrecks of ambition, and the disposition of error and prejudice. They have conveyed his mind through the various regions of society, familiarized it with the melancholy exhibitions of lost dignity, of injured innocence, of polluted virtue; and left it in the awful contemplation of scenes, at which his humanity shudders.—It is no wonder, therefore, that his opinions are the pious innovations of the philosopher, who wishes to repair the injuries which an unjust policy has occasioned in the world; that he cherishes them as a peculiar tribute to his own feelings, which the understanding confirms and the heart ratifies. Upon this moral plan of philanthropy, Mr.

Jefferson is the true citizen of the world. Like Cato he feels an attachment for his country, but like Socrates, his affections embrace the universe.
It will be difficult to reconcile the principles of such a character, with the views and inclinations that govern the parasite of despotism. The first are founded upon a basis whose truth is irresistible; whose origin is nature; whose attitude, morality; whose essence, reason. The last are nature at defiance, consider man as a mockery, and reason as a fool. If therefore, Mr. Jefferson differs in opinion with many of his countrymen, it is because he differs in the degree of estimation in which such things are mutually held. He considers nature the source of every human right, morality the basis, and reason the unerring guide of every human action. Of course he perceives no grades in society, no partial distinctions; considers the people as the source of all power, and the peculiar guardians of their own rights. He makes allowances for the particular situation in which he has found mankind. He endeavors to reconcile their different interests by institutions that are calculated to produce the most extensive and complete felicity. Consulting nature, his maxims of government are simple and refined. They do not partake too much of that overstrained energy, which borders on oppression, or of that loose, licentious fanaticism, which is connected with the subversion of all order and security in government. They point eventually to a reform of abuses, which have constituted the greatest share of misery in society; which he considers the excellence of state, and the germ of despotism.
It is said that Mr. Jefferson is a philosopher; that consequently he possesses a peculiar cast of mind, that unites him for the duties of a statesman. Let this objection rest in the bosom of the illiberal parasite of power, who sits at the foot-stool of despotism, and draws the influence of a single qualification that might loosen the affections of a nation. For my part, I perceive not the incompatibility complained of. The philosopher is nothing more than a being, whose morality is elevated; whose opinions are drawn from the convictions of truth & reason; whose expanded intellect disdains the shackles of prejudices, and whose soul looks with complacency upon the errors and fallibilities of mankind. The reverse of these qualifications, constitutes the features of tyranny, whenever it is blended with extensive power. There is an invisible chain which connects immorality with a contempt for truth, a contempt for truth with the delusions of error, and the delusions of error with the most brutish tyranny. Hence the licentiousness of courts, and the patriotic crimes of antitots; hence that cold philosophy which chills the warmth of benevolence, and sacrifices, on the polluted altar of despotism, the felicity of millions.
Disclaiming the character of the courtier, where pusillanimity and flattery are the steps by which the obsequious rise to fame and distinction, Mr. Jefferson has held the highest office of government, by his own intrinsic merit. The simplicity of his manners and the reservedness of his temper, are the characteristics of a vigorous mind, which grasps at higher objects than the mere arts of pleasing. Yet there is no man in private life more amiable, none more dignified, and none whose manners possess, in a higher degree, the incomparable felicity of inspiring the combined emotions of attachment and respect.
He has contemplated men and things in the different lights in which they are, and in which they should be. His reflections on this subject are the sources of his humanity and forbearance; qualifications which travel; business and books, have matured into practice, and given to his mind a degree of philosophical tranquility, infinitely superior to most of his contemporaries. Let not this placidity of temper be mistaken for coldness and apprehension. He does not possess an understanding incapable of being inspired with intrepidity, when great objects demand its energy. The American declaration of independence, his negotiations in several of the most subtle cabinets of Europe, and his communications with the intriguing ministers of France and England, whilst secretary of state, will remain the durable memorials of a great mind, at once capable of combining the various qualifications of energy, deliberate coolness and penetration.
The candour of amicable negotiation, is too frequently the victim of court intrigue and of diplomatic ceremony. There was no cabinet that afforded more presents for both, than the court of Louis the 16th. To mislead, to bribe, and to corrupt by all the arts of chicane and deceit, constituted the peculiar skill of every minister, and were the preliminaries of every negotiation. When Mr. Jefferson went to France, he carried with him the friendly views of a people whose simplicity had not been corrupted, and whose manners, founded upon that candour which flows from an elevated freedom, disdained the licentiousness of a court, that was calculated to embarrass and betray. Arrived there, it was very reasonable to suppose, that the recent dismemberment of the American colonies from Great Britain, and the natural intercourse which had for ages, existed between the cabinets of France and England, would have been the means of depreciating the popularity of our negotiator. Mr. Jefferson at an early period of his residence at the court of the former, foresaw, with the intuitive eye of sagacity, what he might reasonably expect from the opposition of the latter. His unshaken integrity, however, his candour and impartiality, were the grounds for fair dealings from all parties. They not only inspired the friendship and confidence of the Count de Marmontin, the venal minister of a corrupted court, but of that party, who from sentiment, felt favorably disposed towards the American revolution. This could only be the result of a principle, which with courts as well as with individuals gives to character the impulse of involuntary respect,
when it is found to be invulnerable to unjust calumny and reproach. Were the views of the French cabinet disclosed? Mr. Jefferson studied them. The first cause and the probable effect, were the direct objects of investigation. Were they hid from his immediate inspection? He assumed the powers & the language of prophecy; predicted with the sagacity of an ingenious mind, and unfolded, as far as the comprehension and the nature of things would permit. Accustomed to judge of men, more by their actions than their professions, and constantly in the habit of regulating himself by the former, the courtly language of dissimulation, made no impression on him. It was by a display of those qualifications, so little looked for, in the ambassador of a rustic people, that he preserved his own, and the dignity of the nation he represented. Recalled to fill the department of state, he left France, after having rendered to his country as much service by his abilities, as he had bestowed honor on himself, by the combination of the various qualities of integrity, sagacity, and prudence. He quit it, leaving on the mind of the nation, these sentiments of veneration and respect which have not been erased by the recent convulsions of state.

PARIS, May 23. BONAPARTE'S MESSAGE.
LAST Friday, at 3 o'clock, the following Message was delivered by several of the Orators of Government to the Senate, the Legislative Body, and the Tribunate:
MESSAGE.
Saint Cloud, May 20.
The Ambassador of England has been recalled; compelled by this circumstance, the Ambassador of the Republic has quitted a country where he could no longer hear the language of peace.
At this decisive moment the Government submits to your view, and it will submit to the view of France and of Europe, its first relation with the Britannic Ministry, the negotiations which were terminated by the treaty of Amiens, and the new discussions which seem to finish by absolute rupture.
The present age and posterity will there see all that it has done to put an end to the calamities of war, and with what moderation and patience it has labored to prevent their return.
Nothing has been able to interrupt the course of the projects formed to rekindle discord between the two nations. The treaty of Amiens had been negotiated amidst the clamours of a party hostile to peace. Scarcely was it concluded, when it was the object of bitter censure. It was represented as fatal to England, because it was not disgraceful to France. Soon after, alarms were disseminated; dangers were pretended, on which was established the necessity of a state of Peace, such as to be a permanent signal of new hostilities. There were kept in reserve and hired, those vile miscreants who had torn the bosom of their country, and who were intended to tear it anew. Vain calculations of hatred! We are no longer that France which was divided by factions, and buffeted by storms; but France restored to internal tranquility, regenerated in her administration and her laws, ready to fall, with her whole weight, upon whatever foreign State may dare to attack her, and to unite with her banditti, whom an atrocious policy would once more cast upon her shores to organize pillage and assassinations.
At length an unexpected Message, all at once, terrifies England with imaginary armaments in France and Batavia, and supposes the existence of important discussions which divided the two Governments, while no such discussion was known to the French Government.
Immediately formidable armaments took place on the coasts, and in the ports of Great-Britain; the sea is covered with her ships of war; and it is in the midst of these preparations that the cabinet of London demands of France the abrogation of a fundamental article of the treaty of Amiens.
They wanted, they said, new guarantees; and they despised the sanctity of treaties, the execution of which is the first of guarantees which nations can give to each other.
The papers respecting the negotiation were sent with this Message.
In vain did France invoke that faith which has been sworn: In vain did she appeal to the forms received among nations; in vain did she consent to shut her eyes to the actual non-execution of the article of the treaty of Amiens, from which England pretends to release herself: In vain was she willing to delay taking a definitive resolution until Spain and Batavia, both of them contracting parties, could have made manifest their disposition: In vain, in short did she propose to request the mediation of the Powers who had been invited to guarantee, and who, in effect, did guarantee, the stipulation required to be abrogated.
Every proposition was rejected, and the demands of England become more imperious and more absolute.
It was not in the principles of the Government to yield to menace; it was not in their power to bend the majority of the French people to laws prescribed to them with forms so baughty and so new. Had they done so, they would have consecrated in favor of England the right of annulling, at her sole pleasure, all the stipulations which bind her towards France. It would have authorized her to demand from France new guarantees on the slightest alarm, which she might have tho't proper to pretend; and hence two new principles would have been placed in the public code of Great-Britain, by the side of that by which she has disinherited the other nations of the common sovereignty of the seas, and submitted to her laws and to her regulations the independence of their flag.
The Government stooped at the limits traced out by its principles and its duties. The negotiation is interrupted, and we are ready to fight, if we are attacked.
We shall at least fight for maintaining the faith of treaties, and for the honor of the French name.
Had we yielded to a vain terror, we should soon have had to fight and to repel new pretensions; but we should have fought dishonored by a previous weakness, fallen in our own eyes, and degraded in the eyes of an enemy, which should have once made us bend to her unjust pretensions.
The nation will repose itself in the consciousness of its strength, whatever injuries the enemy do us in places where we shall not have been able to prevent them or to reach them. The result of this contest will be such as we have a right to expect from the justice of our cause and the courage of our warriors.

PROCLAMATION.
Augustus Ernouf, Gen. of Division, Inspector-General of the French infantry, Capt. General of Guadalupe and its dependencies.
To the inhabitants of Guadalupe, and to the army.
CITIZENS, The English government will have war! In vain the father of Frenchmen, the immortal Bonaparte has exhausted before it every proceeding, every means which could insure to France that enjoyment of tranquility, of which she has hardly tasted the first fruits. Every sacrifice has been made to obtain that end; but that implacable enemy of Frenchmen has not been satisfied with the incalculable advantages which it has obtained by a peace, which it alone ought to have enjoyed. It is not against France alone that it directs its attacks, but against the whole world. Its ambition embraces all, from the Indian Shores to the mouths of the Oronoque, from the Nile to the Tagus, it pretends to exercise its tyranny. In the extravagance of its ideas, it believes that on it the empire of the seas is devolved. Among the powers that have supported
the destructive war, which of them has been enriched by the spoils of the other? Is it not England?
Inhabitants of Guadalupe, who have already so victoriously sought her soldiers. You, brave warriors, who have seen the phalanxes fly before you in the fields of Honskotte, on the coasts of Flanders and Holland; prepare yourselves to encounter that enemy, who, forgetful of honor and the right of nations, cowardly takes your defenceless shipping sailing under the faith of treaties. Remember Quiberon, the camp of St. John, and the horrible attempt of the 3d of Nivose.
Soon will the hero of France re-establish the liberty of the seas, soon will he prescribe just limits to the inordinate ambition of that government, alike the perturbator of his country and of the world.
The colony of Guadalupe and its dependencies, are placed in a state of siege.
Done at Basseterre, Guadalupe, the 5th Messidor, 11th year of the French Republic. (Signed) ERNOUF.

From the Philadelphia Aurora.
There is reason to believe that the Porcupine system which was pursued during a great part of the late war, in this city, and in others of the continent, is about to be revived, and that the British commissaries in our ports and elsewhere, will labor by means of the public prints, to embarrass the progress of the American people in the contest. Already has another Porcupine, in the person who calls himself Carpenter, commenced the career of defamation against our government, our institutions, and the administration of it. This man, loaded not quite two years ago at Charleston, from England, provided with printing types. On his way from Charleston to New-York, he sold part of his types in this city; he remained some months in New-York, and wrote several articles for Hamilton's paper; in the course of last year, however, he travelled Southward again, and types were provided for him, part in this city, and part in N. York, and these were landed at Charleston, in the name of Loring Andrews. We have been informed by a very respectable man, that the types, &c. were provided by a character who John Adams once said was at the head of the British party in this country, and who is considered as the devoted creature of the British. The paper called the "COURIER," at Charleston, it will be remembered, is in the full tide of patronage and of favor with those who are opposed to Republican institutions; with those who are hostile to the administration of the government; with those who advocate every thing British at the expense of every thing American; with those who are eternally railing against foreigners, particularly Irish republican exiles.
Yet this man, who goes by a name not his own, has not been two years in America. This man is an Irishman and an avowed monarchist, but in fact a man without any principles political or personal. This man was to the knowledge of the Editor of this paper, a writer hired and in the service of the two treasury prints at London, the Sun and True Briton.
This man wrote an unfortunate sort of a pamphlet by way of a defence of John Rutledge, in the matter of the forgeries in the name of Nicholas Geoffroy, which was never sold nor even sent to any but Rutledge's select friends. This Carpenter is the avowed adherent and dependant of the same British businessman Windham, who was the patron of Porcupine here, and continues to be the patron of Porcupine in England.
But the system is not limited to the Courier of Charleston—it is in various shapes and modes diffused over the whole continent; and already it begins openly by interference and dissemination of the political calumnies and deceptions for which in Europe, in such a way as to engage the American public in a contest with which we have nothing to do on the score of justice, of propriety, of pure prudence, of sound policy, and even of solemn and serious interest. It is our duty to avoid all concern in the contentions of the old world. We are fortunately remote from them, and our interests as well as our government rests upon a basis totally separate and removed from them; and it is our duty to keep about from them, and if possible to prevent them from molesting or disturbing us by their passions, their intrigues or aggression.
We had hoped that a sense of national dignity, a consciousness of the blessings of peace, prosperity and liberty would prevail upon men of all parties, to check and control every effort to embark our feelings in the unhappy contest of European powers; but unfortunately that bias to British institutions and antipathy towards our own laws, too many men and too many of our public prints are open to this pernicious influence.
In a late Boston paper we saw an avowal of a wish that the British should in defiance of our recent treaty seize upon Louisiana! Nothing but the most confirmed hatred of American independence and prosperity could have dictated such a sentiment nothing but a hired agency or a corrupt or treacherous devotion to Britain.
We make no doubt that we shall in such papers very soon see, the impression of our former by the commanders of British ships of war in our own territory DEFENDED AND JUSTIFIED.
From the HARTFORD MERCURY.
In a late New Haven "Vindicator," we find noticed what we said of the arrival of the honor-able John Rutledge. In this following paragraph of theirs, something is said about honor, manhood, honor of the State, hospitality, &c. and to cap all, Rutledge is called an "illustrious stranger!" Illustrious for what, in the name of common sense?—Is he illustrious for having written the letters to Mr. Jefferson, over the signature of "Geffrey"—illustrious for having written abusive anonymous letters to Mr. Gerry—illustrious for having shown his contempt of the laws of God and Man, by sending a challenge to Mr. Ellery on the Sabbath—illustrious for having attacked the same Mr. Ellery while at breakfast, (unarmed, and unsuspecting of such an attack) and beating him with a club. If for all these he deserves to be called an "illustrious stranger" then we believe him to be such. If we mistake not, the circumstance of his challenging Mr. Ellery on the Sabbath, is sufficient to render him illustrious in the opinion of the steady people of this State. It is perfectly in character for this contemptible vehicle of slander (the Visitor) to complain of our noticing this illustrious man; for there is not a paper in the United States (considering its insignificance) in which there has appeared more abuse of the general government, and men in private life, distinguished for their abilities, & support of our republican government in opposition to those who would destroy it, than in this same Visitor—a paper under the immediate direction of Simon Holdraft & Co. and as destitute of every good quality as those who have
the management of it. Let the miserable conductors of that miserable paper, examine its filthy leaves, and mark the abuse therein contained, of many worthy men, our own citizens—see the insinuations respecting Col. Kirby and others, and then talk of honor, manhood, and hospitality.
Hitherto we have taken but little notice of what has appeared in that paper—a paper known only by its disregard for truth and decency, and its abuse of republicans.—Knowing that the people of this State will not much longer pay for abuse of their rulers, and that consequently the Visitor must soon wither the shade of its predecessor, the "Messenger," we are willing it should die as easily as its guilty conscience will let it.
With respect to Rutledge, the Visitor need only be silent, and he shall have every attention paid him which such an "illustrious stranger" merits.
LEXINGTON, (Ken.) July 12.
By a gentleman who arrived in town yesterday from New Orleans, we are informed, that the company in which he was, consisting of 25 men, were attacked by a party of robbers (15 in number) well armed, about 35 miles on this side Bay-au-Pierre. The attack was made about day light; the robbers discharged near twenty guns without touching a man, and rushed into the camp. The company all left the ground, to be without their faldbags or clashing, which were taken off by the villains. The loss sustained is computed at between four and five thousand dollars. Next morning the company pursued the robbers, and overtook them in about 15 miles; they immediately prepared for battle, but the resolution displayed on the part of the robbers, and the company having only two or three guns, all in bad order, induced them to retreat.
NEWPORT, Saturday, Aug. 6, 1803.
We are authorized to state, for the information of the proprietors of stock in the public funds of the United States, that altho' the principal of the six per cent. stock to be created by virtue of the treaty with France, is reimbursable at the Treasury of the United States, the interest is payable in Europe.—Nat. Intel.
We are enabled to state from good authority, that the eleven million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, to be paid to France in six per cent. stock, on the purchase of Louisiana, agreeably to treaty, is not redeemable, under the term of fifteen years. Balt. Tele.
Federal Rander, bestowed upon the President and other distinguished Republicans, in some measure in proportion to their distinction, has become so proverbial, that to be abused in a federal newspaper, is now generally considered good presumptive evidence of personal and political merit. Repub. Spy.
A New-York paper of July 30. says, "The number of deaths in this city for the week ending on Saturday last, amounted to 45."
A Fredericktown (Maryland) paper of July 15. says, "We have had no rain for 40 days—the kitchen gardens are burnt up, and scarcely a vegetable can be procured in Frederick, or for many miles round it. The crops of corn it is feared will be poor indeed. We are informed by a gentleman from Genesee, that no rain has fallen there for ninety-one days."
Capt. Nichols who arrived at Salem, from Rotterdam, has furnished the editor of the Salem Gazette with a paper of that city of the 8th of June; from which some translation has been made. The orders, which had been issued in Russia for the troops to hold themselves in readiness to march, had been countermanded.—Accounts from Berlin, of May 28th, mention, that Prussia, and another German power, were concerting measures to be taken in case the French enter the North of Germany.—They add, "it is also extremely probable, that though Hanover should be left to its fate, Prussia will, however cover the remainder of the North of Germany, particularly the Weser and the Elbe, and the cities of Hamburg and Bremen."
HAGUE, June 4.—The Bishoprick of Osnaburgh surrendered to the French by capitulation. On their approach the Hanoverian garrison evacuated the country. The French, in three columns, are in full march for Hanover. They have a park of 50 pieces of artillery.
"Mr. Linton (English Minister) has demanded his passports.—He will leave a charge des affaires."
ROTTERDAM, June 7.—The number of French troops, which entered Quakenburg, in the Bishoprick of Osnaburgh amounted to 6000."
The account we sometime since published, that the Dey of Algiers had sent the British Consul from his dominion, is confirmed by the late London papers. The Dey has demanded 180,000 dollars of the English.
A shocking murder was committed on Monday last, a few miles from Shelbyville, on the body of a young woman of the name of Bean, by a negro fellow belonging to Mr. Stephen Smith, of Shelby county. The unfortunate girl was returning early in the morning to her father's from a neighbor's house, where she had staid all night, when she was met by the unholy monster, who speedily put an end to her existence—Her cries were heard by some persons at work in a cornfield near the spot, who we are sorry to learn were not sufficiently alarmed, instantly to desert from their labor and to fly to her assistance, until roused by the noise of a number of hogs contending for the carcass;
The feelings of her unhappy parents must be excruciating indeed, and will, doubtless draw a tear from the eye of humanity. But if it were possible in such a state to receive consolation, it must afford them some to hear that the unprincipled villain is in custody and likely to meet the punishment due to his atrocious crime.—We understand, he was immediately apprehended, confessed the fact, and is lodged in Shelby jail. Revenge for some offence given him by her father, is the cause he alleges for committing the murder. [Kentucky paper.]
Extract from Mr. Fox's Speech in the British House of Commons, March 11th.
Our friends of order are invited to read this attentively, and if they do not blush, then we say they are the most incorrigible blockheads in the world. S. Reg. Mr. Fox says, speaking in favor of the Treaty of Amiens—"If I am fond of that treaty, it is because it was the means of ridding us of encumbrances of the most oppressive kind. Not that it freed us from connection with allies, for allies we had none at the time it was concluded, but that it delivered us from the detestable and abominable principles on which the late war was conducted. I do sincerely hope, Sir, that we shall hear nothing more of wars undertaken for religion and social order. I speak not disrespectfully of religion or of the blessing of social order, but I speak of that detestable hypocrisy which held forth these as the ostensible objects of contest, while we were all along fighting for ends of a nature totally different and opposite. I believe that such hypocrisy is forever destroyed; and I trust that as long as a sentiment of justice, as long as a detection of such base and infamous deception shall be reprobated among men, such attempts to impose on a generous people must be held in eternal execration. I unfortunately, Sir, we are to be doomed to a renewal of hostilities, I hope the object of the war will be clearly and distinctly understood. What are the objects which may eventually lead to such an unfortunate result, I profess to be totally ignorant."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Manchester, (Virg.) to the editor of the BEE, dated July 18.
CALLENDER is no more. He yesterday went into the river to bathe, and, as was his daily custom, very drunk. The boatmen from the ferry saw him fall, in water about 3 feet deep, and, from his long stay, conjectured the consequence; but before they could reach him he was lifeless. Thus has the greatest of all scoundrels been untimely summoned to answer for his black deeds.
Alas, poor torties! what will they do? He was found dead in the river, between eleven and twelve o'clock; and agreeably to law the Coroner held an inquest over his body. The verdict of the jury was as follows: "The jury say, upon their oath, that "James Thompson" on the 17th day of July, 1803. did go into the river, commonly called "James River," with an intent to bathe, but being in a state of intoxication, as appears to the jury, the said James T. Callender came to his death by an accidental drowning, and not other-wise." Such was the verdict of the jury. But there is much difference of opinion upon this subject. Our own opinion is, that Callender's drowning was not "accidental," but voluntary—and for this opinion we shall state our reasons in the next EXAMINER. Examiner.
DIED.—At Nassau, N. P. on the 6th of June, General JOSIAH TATNALL, jun. late Governor of the State of Georgia.
IT is a task from which the moral and religious perceptions of the mind derive, though a sorrowful, yet pleasing sensation, to depict the features of departed worth. To speak of merit, even while blooming in this world, inspires the heart, or ought to inspire it with deep solemnity; but to speak of it after it has become consummate, & ascended thro' the skies, adds infinitely to the emotion. By merit, I mean those principles of virtue, combined with those other qualities of the understanding and affections, which at once endear and adorn it, and render it useful in the movements of its social, moral, and religious duties. To speak of it then, when divested of those attributes which connect it with earth and render it the object of human observation! To speak of it when it has thrown off its tabernacle of clay, burst the bars of death, and ascended to the bosom of its God! How solemn and awful the task!
While the mind is intensely occupied by those ultimate, and paramount principles of improvement and wisdom, which teach the relations of time, and eternity—of human nature, and the beneficent author of it; sensibility is awakened & urged by a natural, and tender sympathy for temporal and personal affliction. Here the inquisitive, and confirmed tortitude of the philosopher is overcome and gives place to a friendly participation in devoted grief. Yes! that deep and pungent anguish which fills and distresses the bosom of the most near and tender attachments, diffuses its melting influence and unites in the deluge of tears even the stout heart of philosophy itself. Such are the attractive powers of lamentation and sorrow where the object of those sufferings blends those qualities which reason and virtue approve.
These reflections are dedicated to the memory of Mrs. MERITABLE MANN, the truly amiable comfort of Doctor JOHN PRESTON MANN, who died of a long and lingering illness on the 27th ult. But let the faithful mourners imbibe and receive consolation from this reflection, that "Beyond the bounds of this terrestrial sphere Is plac'd a world on 'other side the seas'; A life of virtue will conduct us there, There our best hope and our best interest lies."

THE GRUMBLER.
COREUS unmarried, grumbled for a wife; Married, he grumbled still, and lives in strife! A child is wanted; Heaven the blessing sent; Yet still he grumbled, still is discontent. Why, what's the matter, Coreus? Worse and worse!
The seeming blessing turn'd into a curse; The nurse and mid-wife drain my pockets dry; I've nought to keep the boy with by and by. A nurse he finds; yet now, as heretofore, He grumbles on, "Had it been so much more, I might have left off labor, liv'd in peace; But to it happen, all my swans are geese." He sickens; now he grumbled without doubt; "When will my health return? My money's out."
Death came and struck him; at one fatal blow, He sent him grumbling to the shades below.
FEDERAL ORDER!
Extract of a letter to the editor, dated Trenton, 12th July, 1803, 9, P. M.
"This day has produced another evidence of the disappointed views, the low ambition and savage ferocity of the federalists of this place.
"At two o'clock this afternoon, a mob of those calling themselves federalists assembled in front of the True American office, (the republican paper.) Mr. Wilson was called for at the door, he went forward and told the person that his name was Wilson, and if he had any business with him to be kind enough to walk into his room—yet unsusppecting and defenceless, he was without notice dragged into the street and surrounded by above thirty of the creatures of those who were afraid to appear. These men, armed with bludgeons attacked, and of course thirty to one overcome Mr. Wilson, whom they barbarously wounded and bruised so that he is at this late hour of the evening unable to attend to the duties of his office, and his partner is from home.
"Mr. Wilson is bruised very severely, and as medical aid, here, can only be called from those of the faculty who would rather kill than cure; it is likely his wounds may become the cause of a long and painful sickness.
"As to the past conduct of the leaders of the federal party in this place it has been reviewed by the editors of the Trenton American, and their disorderly and dissolute characters have been exposed, with, however, fewer comments than were necessary for a full explication of their wickedness. I will thank you to insert the above in your paper, it must undoubtedly convince every unprejudiced citizen of the U. S. that no conciliatory efforts can lessen the rancour of such men, and that we are not "all federalists, all republicans."
"From my personal acquaintance with Messrs. Wilson and Blackwell, I can assure you they are worthy citizens, and deserve well of their country." Aurora.
