Mr. Adams.—Saturday the 29th ult. being the anniversary of the birth of this venerable man, it was celebrated by a company from Boston and the neighboring towns.—The following address was presented him on the occasion:—
To the Hon. JOHN ADAMS, Esq., SIR,
THE return of this anniversary, cannot fail to awaken in our breasts the warmest sentiments of gratitude and esteem. It recalls to view the many important events of your public life, events intimately connected with those principles and proceedings which constitute the greatest glory of our country, and will form some of the most valuable pages in the history of nations.
We hope the liberty we have taken in personally waiting upon you on this occasion, will not be deemed an intrusion. And while we offer you our respectful congratulations, we must beg you to be assured that this visit is the result of feeling, and not of ceremony.
The early and decided part which you took in support of the liberties of America—The series of patriotic and successful exertions which distinguished you the firm, unswerving and able friend of these States—The many stations of high responsibility which you filled so much to the advantage of your fellow-citizens throughout our revolution, gave you an honorable title to their veneration and love.—But your services to your country did not end with the accomplishment of our Independence. Since that period, it has required and you have devoted to its cause, all the energies of your mind. Your civil administration as President of the United States, at a crisis of peculiar difficulty and danger, warded off evils which seemed inevitable, and secured blessings that appeared unattainable. It vindicated the national honor, accommodated serious differences with two of the most powerful nations of Europe, and left the United States with the means of a speedy extinction of the public debt—a full treasury—and a flourishing commerce—to cultivate the arts of peace.
May these things be ever held in fitable remembrance. May no untoward circumstances wholly take away the fair prospect we have had of national prosperity and greatness. For you, Sir, we offer our supplication to the Sovereign of the Universe, that your invaluable life may be long preserved. In any critical conjuncture of affairs, may your countrymen yet have the benefit of that foresight, wisdom and experience, which have so often availed and supported them. And when you shall finally be called to bid adieu to this world, and its concerns, may the cheering words promised to the good and the faithful, hail you to the mansions of blessedness.
To which Mr. ADAMS was pleased to reply.
GENTLEMEN, I SHOULD rejoice in the prolongation of my life for another year, were it only for the pleasure of seeing and embracing so many of my friends.
As every Gentleman here is at least as independent of me, as I can pretend to be of him; as there is no imaginable motive of hope, apprehension, or any sinister or private interest, which could have prompted you, to such a manifestation of your friendly sentiments, I am fully assured that this visit is the result of feeling, and not of ceremony.
The performance of the parts which were cast to me, in the course of the revolution, though the scenes were in the secret conclave of a congress, without galleries, and with closed doors, or at a thousand leagues distance beyond seas, and the few spectators or witnesses are almost all dead, I shall leave to the candor of the public, and the judgment of posterity, with such traditional lights as they may possess.
After as careful a review as I am capable of taking of the civil administration, during the period when I was President of the United States, I see nothing of any consequence to repeat or regret. Some measures were the effect of imperious necessity, much against my inclinations.—Others were the measures of the Legislature, which, although approved when passed, were never previously proposed or recommended by me. Some of them left to my discretion, were never executed, because no necessity for them, in my judgment, ever occurred. I shall say no more upon this subject at present, but this, we were emancipated from two burthensome yokes, the French Treaty and Consular Convention, which were grievous to us, and would have been intolerable to our children. The nation in future, unshackled with positive stipulations, will have only to consider her duties to foreign Powers by the law of nations, and to estimate her interest by an honest and impartial policy.
Let me add one observation more. Under the continual provocations, breaking and pouring in upon me from unexpected as well as expected quarters, during the two last years of my administration, he must have been more of a modern epicurean philosopher than I ever was, or ever will be, to have borne them all, without some inconsiderable expressions at times, of an unutterable indignation. I have no other apology to make to individuals or the public.
The prospect of national greatness is as sure and certain as that of national existence. The Union is our rock of safety, as well as our pledge of grandeur. And for this reason I hesitate not to recommend to you as a sacrament—"A union of honest men."
I wish you, Gentlemen, for the day, and for your lives, all the honest joys and felicitous, which you can possibly with for yourselves.
JOHN ADAMS. Quincy, Oct. 30, 1802.
BERENGERIA, Queen of Castile.
Berengeria united to all the attractions of evanescent beauty, the external loveliness of a cultivated and expanded mind. She was in the castle of Ozesca, with a very inconsiderable number of forces, when it was besieged by the Moors. She considered the terrors of her situation. The ammunition of the fortress was nearly exhausted, and to try the hazard of a sally, would be certain destruction to her few, but brave troops. In this dilemma, she sent the following message to the generals of Tuxelin:—
"Berengeria of Barcelona, Queen of Castile, could not have imagined that cavaliers so renowned for their valor and gallantry, would have seriously determined to attack a castle which was defended only by a woman."
These simple words, in an age which is now called barbarous, were sufficient to induce men to abandon victory, when that victory would be the vanquishment of weakness, though the acquisition of territory. The Moors declared they would immediately retire; only begging the queen would honor them with a view of her person, from any distance that she might prefer.—Berengeria adorned herself in the most magnificent and graceful manner and appeared on the walls with a majesty and sweetness that drew forth the loudest exclamations of applause and admiration from her gallant enemies.—Headed by their Generals, the Moors made her every testimony of reverence and obedience, and filed off; leaving her exulting in her own presence of mind, and deeply impressed by their heroic honor.—Morning Chronicle.
New Religious Soc.—A late English paper furnishes the following novel article, which we think will be read with some degree of interest by many of our readers.
Voralsburg, has formed a new sect under the title of Adorers of the heart of Jesus. He persuades the people that the devil performed a grand character among mankind, and that many men are possessed. He recommended as the means of destroying his power, that his followers should be baptized with holy water. A number of the people of Seathis have been deluded by his doctrine, and have set out on pilgrimages to St. Gerold. The bishop of Constance thought it his duty to appoint a committee to examine the sectaries, and the Helvetic government has given orders to the priest to destroy this new species of fanaticism, and prohibit all nocturnal assemblages; for these people think it is particularly in the night the Devil plays his tricks. We learn that Berlinger, informed of the measures the bishop had taken, would not wait the result but decamped.
EXTRAORDINARY CRIMINAL.
On the 14th of August, was executed at Swabmunchen near Augsburg, a woman aged 38, whose crime is of a nature to fix the attention of those who study mankind. Between the 15th of January 1798, and the 2d of November 1801, this woman set fire to the town of Swabmunchen, 15 times, in consequence of which fifty houses became a prey to the flames, and a great number of persons were reduced to poverty. Several individuals on whom suspicion fell, were sent to prison, but at length happily for them, the real Criminal was discovered by a labourer, who caught her in the fact. Her name is Maria Franklin; after seven examinations, in which she denied the crime, she at length on the eighth, confessed her guilt, and pleaded in her justification, that from her youth, she had been tormented by a violent penchant, to set houses on fire, that she had resisted this desire for a long time, but at length overcome by her passion, she had burnt the houses alluded to, without any end in view, and without any remorse. This woman in other respects has conducted herself with great propriety, and did not appear to be deranged in her mind.—She was beheaded, and her body burnt.—German paper.
Tom Pain.—This execrable atheist has at length reached our shores. His arrival at Baltimore is thus mentioned in the Baltimore Republican, of the 3d inst.—
The noted THOMAS PAIN arrived here on Saturday last. It is far from being the wish of the editor to speak of him in unbecoming terms; yet it is but justice to observe that this man has some claims on our gratitude for his work entitled "Common Sense;" for though the motives that induced him to collect together and publish the general arguments of the day, at that time, were, as might easily be proved, those of a hireling, yet that little work was of essential service in our revolution. Some particulars of his life shall be given in our next.
He went to Fulton's tavern, when he arrived; many persons, from curiosity, went to see him. After sipping well of Brandy, he became somewhat fluent in conversation; and readily declared that Mr. Jefferson's invitations were the cause of his returning to this country. He said he should go in a few days to Washington, thence to Frederick town, to Philadelphia, and Newyork; after which he should return to Washington.
To detail all the laughable conduct and conversation that occurred on Saturday evening, though amusing, would be tedious; yet some anecdotes must be mentioned.
Pain observed several times, "we public characters." He is an abominable egotist.
He considered himself a citizen of the world going about doing good.
One man addressed him, "I am glad to see you, Mr. Pain; I like such fellows as you."
Another bluntly addressed him thus, "How came you to write that letter to General Washington? Pain replied that he had a right to write what he pleased; he had written nothing of Washington he wished to recal.
Pain remarked that many of the old standards of the revolution were gone, since he left this country: a gentleman present observed, "yes, Sir, our great and good Washington"—Pain hung down his head, embarrassed, and soon turned the conversation.
He said something of the autumnal foliage.—He is a very ignorant creature.
The democrats and deists crowded round him, introducing one another with, this is Mr. Such a one, Mr. Pain, a good democrat.
About 8 o'clock in the evening he came into the bar room; made a short address—his private room was not large enough to accommodate all his friends—he should stay in town several days—should be happy to see them again. Some one observed to him that he looked "pretty well," yes, says Pain, few be their age better than I do, I am now 65, I have been through a great deal, but (putting his fingers to his belly, and quoting them) a good heart and good mind will carry a man any where.
A democratic person, who was in company with Pain a considerable time, says that he is neither a philosopher nor a gentleman.
The old fellow was decently clad. He has the indubitable marks of a confirmed sot, yet at eight in the evening he was not greatly affected with liquor, tho' he had swallowed a great quantity of brandy.
The most respectable democrats in the city appeared to know themselves too well to visit him. This day the minor ones ought to turn out, present him an address, and give him a dinner. Do, gentlemen democrats honor him a little, for your idol Jefferson will honor him much.—I'll tell you how the dinner may be paid—Carry him about town in a cage; no one would grudge fifty cents to see the demi human arch beast—a very considerable sum might be collected—enough with which Pain might get drunk daily as long as he lives.
Many democrats doubted whether ever Mr. Jefferson sent for Pain: now he is here, and has already several times declared that he comes by the express invitations of his pupil Jefferson, 'tis supposed even Smith will not call it a federal misrepresentation.
But let us ask every christian and every serious man what will be the consequence of the conduct at present pursued by Jefferson and his party.
Divine religion loses all her fires, And unawares morality expires.'
From the Connecticut Gazette.
The American Mercury of the 23d ult. contains a piece bearing the signature of "One of you," written with an intent to mislead and deceive the honest and uninformed part of the community. Had it been confined to the vehicle of slander only, it would not have merited notice—but since it has been copied into several other papers, and will probably be published in every democratic paper from Georgia to Maine, it demands refutation.
If Democrats could once be prevailed upon to lay aside party prejudices, and read with coolness and candor the productions of that paper, they would pronounce it the most vile of impositions.
A writer that divests himself of all pretensions to truth or decency, it must be acknowledged is a bad antagonist; but such must be dealt with accordingly.
The writer has undertaken to contrast the present and past administrations—he begins thus:
Federal Administration. Republican Administration.
ARMY— Attempts made at different times, to augment it in time of peace, to 25,000, 20,000, & finally to 12,000, the latter effected, exclusive of garrison troops.
ARMY— Reduced to 3,000, the number necessary to garrison our forts.
REMARKS. There was never to the best of my recollection, an attempt made to augment the army to 25,000 men. An attempt to augment it to 20,000, was made, which failed, and 12,000 was substituted in its room. The bill was passed 51 to 40; and if I mistake not was voted for by several democrats. That it was done with the purest and most patriotic motives, cannot be denied.
But the writer asserts that they were raised in a time of peace! It is true we had not declared war, but we had declared the treaty between France and America null and void. We had suspended all commercial intercourse. French national ships were plundering our defenceless commerce, and imprisoning citizens. Privateers and picaroons were at the mouths of our harbors, waiting for their defenceless. Our Envoys were indignantly and brutally treated by the French Directory, and all attempts
at negotiation rejected with disdain. Such was that time of peace; such the situation, such the prospect of affairs when an act was passed authorising the President to raise a Provisional Army of 10,000 men; and this very measure, (with several others equally energetic) saved us from a war with France. But doubtless this "good Republican," tho' with the patriotic Mr. Gallatin, that "We had better let the French go on plundering our commerce and insulting our citizens, "than to take any measures of defence."
The next question is, how much has the army been reduced by the present administration? "One of you" insinuates that it was reduced from 12,000 to 3,000—now for the truth:
The Provisional Army was disbanded about the middle of June, 1800. What number of men then remained in service of the United States, when the present administration came into office. This fact I am not possessed of, but presume it was not over 4,000 or 4,500. So much for the reduction of the army by the present administration.
Again:
NAVY— Frigates and Sloops of war built to frighten the maritime powers of Europe. An act to build six 74's to involve us in every European contest & prepare us, John Bull like, to commence the arbiters of national disputes. These ships were to be the hot beds of pure federal morals; the plants to supply them, our children, torn from the arms of their parents, by murderous precepts!
REMARKS. I anticipate the reader's indignation on reading the above. It is worthy the pen of a Connecticut Democrat; and contains as much truth and decency as their productions generally. A piece that convicts itself of falsehood in every sentence needs no comments. The reader is left to his own reflections. Such is democracy; and "such are thy Gods, O Israel!" JUSTICE.
NEWYORK, Nov. 8.
From the Georgetown, (S.C.) Gazette, of October 16.
"On Sunday last information was brought to this town, that a number of negroes had been landed at Long Bay, from a French frigate, which has been lately seen on the coast, and that the people of Waccamaw were constantly in a state of alarm. This information coming from a source which admitted of very little doubt, caused the officers commanding in town to collect their men immediately, many of whom marched that evening, and others who were collected from the country, followed them on Monday evening. Those who set off on Sunday evening had almost reached the place where the landing was said to have been effected, when they were informed that the alarm was false. It appears to have originated from a French negro's having been taken up in the night near Long Bay, who is supposed to be a runaway.—We are sorry to state that the country for some distance above this place was alarmed, and the men actual ly on their march.
"It is much to the honor of our citizens that they turned out to a man, although some of them had just risen from a bed of sickness; but it is to be feared, that such false alarms will have a tendency to prevent the like attention to duty when danger is actually at hand.—We understand that the business will undergo an investigation."
Extract of a letter received yesterday by the Determined Rover, dated Cape Francois, September 28.
"The government has imposed a tax or contribution on the inhabitants of the island, as follows: on women resident in the country, 6 dolls. per head; on men on the poorest class, without discrimination of colour, 8 dolls.—American merchants from 750 to 900 dolls. French merchants, 450 to 600 dolls. one half to be paid down and the residue in 30 days—in case of default, 5 per cent. for one month is to be exacted, and then an arrest and sale of property without delay.
"Independent of those taxes they have caused every American resident in the Cape, to enrol themselves in the National Guard, and will no doubt have to go in actual service, on a call of necessity—and that this will be the case, appears inevitable, as the brigands are at their gates, in sight of the town, nightly conflagrating the surrounding plains, and murdering the inhabitants."
Extract of a letter, dated Havre de Grace, August 28, 1802.
"All of us have a desire to see celebrated characters, even though they are noted only for monstrous vices: But the gratification is of a different nature from that of meeting with men eminent for Benevolence and Philan-
"I feel my curiosity satisfied in having seen Thomas Pain. I have several times dined and supped at the same table with him, for that purpose. He is a drunken, beastly animal, the most slovenly and dirty in his person of any man I have ever met with—His face is drunkenness personified; and one would almost suppose a candle might be lit at his long bottle nose, the effect of Brandy. He can however appear like a man of sense in company, and has a strong memory. He is on his way to America, if he can find here a countryman who will disgrace himself so much as to convey him to our shores. However, I expect he will be there shortly by some means or other. The present government of France does not suit him. I am informed, that on his offering to dedicate some work to Bonaparte, he declined it; letting him know at the same time he did not choose to receive that honor from so vile a calumniator of Washington."
BURLINGTON, OCT. 16.
SINGULAR ACCIDENT.
On Thursday, the 7th inst. a son of Mr. Simon Griggs, of Colwell's Manor, about six years of age, in a playful mood, slipped the noose of a rope around his body, and fastened the other end of it to a cow's tail, unobserved by the servant who was milking. Soon as the cow was milked, the boy started her with a stick, and she ran, dragging him after her.—The cow made for a lake, a few rods distant, and in her course drew the boy over a log, hitting his head. Mrs. Griggs, observing the dreadful situation of her son, ran immediately into the water, caught the cow, and extricated the boy, by cutting the rope,—but alas! too late—he had expired.
FIRE!
On the night of the 15th inst. about 11 o'clock, the house of Capt. Alexander Taylor, of Millikens Bay, was discovered to be on fire. There were 11 persons a-bed in the house at the time; two of whom a Mr. Baker and his wife, who were journeying to Upper Canada, were burnt to death; the others escaped with little injury. Not even the cloaths of the family were saved. A coal dropping from a pipe, is supposed to have occasioned the fire.
BOSTON, Nov. 11.
By the Salem; Capt. Russel, from Bourdeaux, we have received Paris papers to the 20th, and Bourdeaux Journals, to the 26th September.
All the articles in the Paris papers conspire to shew, that the Consular Government gains strength and vigour daily; and there does not appear one murmur of discontent or disloyalty. All power resides in the First Consul, and the Conservative Senate;—which Bonaparte takes care shall be composed of none but such as are devoted to him. He has the sole right of appointing the Senators; and we find by the Gazette of the 18th September, that he had named on that day, as Senators, Citizen Abrial, Minister of Justice; Duhelly, Archbishop of Paris; Aboville, Major General and First Inspector of Artillery [He served in the United States during our revolutionary war]; Fouche, late Minister of General Police; and Roderer, to be Senators.—While such men enjoy the conservative power, Bonaparte has nothing to fear.
The contest on the subject of the Indemnities between Austria and Prussia was not settled:—But Bonaparte had undertaken to terminate the business; and had dispatched his aid-de-camp Lantillon, to Ratisbon and Vienna with his resolution on the subject. There will be no appeal from them.
A civil war exists in Switzerland, between the larger and smaller Cantons.—The descendants of William Tell do not submit to the Constitutions from the manufactory of Seyes with half the bias of the citizen of the Great Nation.—Blood has been spilt; and the strong arm of Bonaparte will be called upon to restore tranquility and establish the Constitution.
The Bourdeaux papers still indicate an astonishing increase of commerce, and activity of business; and the principal part of the entries and clearances are French.
SALEM, Nov. 12.

FEDERAL ELECTION. We are happy to have it in our power to speak with a degree of certainty of the election of Mr. Bruce, for Kennebec district, in opposition to the very popular Mr. Kindley.
Maine list will stand as follows:— Hon. Messrs. Phineas Bruce, Samuel Thacher,* and Peleg Washburn, Federal—Hon. Richard Cutts, Jacobin.
The Federalists gain a lot in the nomination of Thacher, who is among the ablest Judges—Aurora.
This is a very good specimen of Duane's political knowledge; and will be received as an undoubted truth by M c Keen's enlightened patriots.
If we tell them that the Hon. George Thacher is not a "defunct Judge," but now a Judge of the Supreme Court of this State, and that Samuel Thacher, Esq. is elected Representative for the First Eastern District, we shall be told, that Mr. Duane has declared that Mr. Thacher, a "defunct Judge" of the Circuit Court, is now nominated as a Representative to Congress.
This they will believe, and Duane will never shock their virtue by informing them they have believed a falsehood.
Maine Bank, we understand will discount this week.
Fire!—A very alarming fire happened at New York on the night of the 2d inst. About 30 buildings, mostly dwelling houses, were destroyed.

Poetry.
ODE OF HAFIZ.
[From Persian Lyrics, or scattered Poems from the Divani Hafiz, Sr. translated by Mr. Hindley.]
MINSTREL, tune some novel lay, Ever jocund, ever gay, Call for heart-expanding wine, Ever sparkling, ever fine. Sit remov'd from prying eyes; Love the game, the fair thy prize; Toying snatch the furtive bliss, Eager look, and eager kiss; Fresh and fresh repeat the freak, Often give, and often take.
Can'st thou feed the hung'ring soul Without drinking of the bowl? Pour out wine; to her 'tis due: Love commands thee—fill anew; Drink her health, repeat her name, Often, often do the same. Frantic love more frantic grows, Love admits of no repose: Haste, thou youth with silver feet, Haste, the goblet bring, be fleet; Fill again the luscious cup, Fresh and fresh, come, fill it up.
See, yon angel of my heart Forms for me, with witching art, Ornaments of varied taste, Fresh and graceful, fresh and chaste. Gentle Zephyr, should'st thou roam, By my lovely charmer's home, Whisper to my dearest dear, Whisper, whisper in her ear, Tales of Hafiz; which repeat, Whisper'd soft, and whisper'd sweet; Whisper tales of love anew, Whisper'd whispers oft renew.
BEAUTY.
By a Miller of Thetford—contempore.
WHAT is Beauty? who can show? Eyes that sparkle, checks that glow, Form, proportion, mein and air, Aid, but not essentials are. 'Tis the soul's diviner grace, Beaming o'er the enlighten'd face. 'Tis all these perfections join'd, Fanny's form, and Fanny's mind.
From a London paper of Sept. 10.
Mr. NECKER has just published a new work; it is called Last Views upon Politics and Finance, offered to the French Nation. "Yes," says the author, "they are the last; they are the last views I offer to the French nation—the last; that word suits my age and my health, which becomes weaker. I have shown the political convenience of those timid combinations, which, borrowing some traits from Monarchy, and some from Republicanism, have neither the majestic unity of the one, nor the animated movement of the other. I have traced two plans of government, one under the name of hereditary and tempered Monarchy, the other under a republic, one and indivisible, and submitting, as much as possible, in reason, to the laws of the church. I have terminated the work by reflections upon finance, and I have defined them both for the present time and for futurity."
