"Hast thou ever weighed a fish; Or felt the philosophy of tears?"
To moderate and refine the passions, is one of the noblest efforts of the soul. As no passion is given us in vain, it becomes us to search diligently, and turn all to their proper uses. There is a certain weakness, which is more or less found among every class of people, and in every state and condition in life. It is a mistaken kind of sympathy, a sort of overstrained sensibility, which affects to feel the miseries of life, with anguish the most poignant. Every person, of common understanding, must feel assured, that the present state is full of imperfection. No happiness is complete, no bliss is unmixed, and bitter disappointments will often thwart our path, and corrode our dearest joys. 'Tis then the part of wisdom to stem the torrent, to "gird up the loins of the mind," to "watch and be sober." But this is not the conduct of those weak minds, who would be thought so susceptible and plastic. The hardness of their own fortune, the peculiarity of their own situation, and their particular griefs, are their constant themes. Their friends are tormented with the relation of their misfortunes; and instead of persevering in the path of honor and virtue, they sit sluggishly down, brooding over troubles which all their facility could never have evaded. When they meet a common mortification, or disappointment, you will see them in an agony of grief, with streaming eyes, and heaving bosoms; making a bitter lamentation, as if life itself were dissolving. But, for the honor of human nature, we will allow that this is not always affected; though at the very best, the person that is easily melted into tears, gives by this no additional proof of fidelity or friendship, and certainly can make no pretensions to firmness or fortitude. Equally dangerous, however, and perhaps more so, is a stoical indifference to every passing indifference to every passing occurrence. The tender and exquisite feelings of the heart, ought ever to be nourished and cherished with the most assiduous care. But such as indulge themselves in paroxysms of grief, on trifling occasions, rather weaken the better passions, impede the course of genuine feeling, and add new and unnecessary bitterness to the cup of human woe.

Miscellaneous Selections.
Battles of the Danube. —History affords but few instances of two such obstinately contested and sanguinary battles, fought in so short a period, as the two fought near Vienna, the present campaign. Of the last battle we have indeed but imperfect accounts; but we have enough to convince us that in blood and carnage, it was equal to the first. In these battles not less than one hundred thousand men, the most of them in the bloom of life, have perished! In the short space of seven weeks one hundred thousand men have been cut off from the face of the earth! Had famine or pestilence swept away such a number of healthy men—had the earth opened and swallowed them up—had lightning stricken them to the earth, or had the lava from a volcano overwhelmed them, what consternation would have overspread the human race. But they perished more miserably than they could in any of those ways, and how little do the survivors think of their fate. They are dead, and they are forgotten. So little attention do we pay to the melancholy circumstance, that we hardly enquire into the causes of such dreadful destruction among the human race. Had small pox, yellow fever, or any other loathsome disease made such ravages among mankind, the skill and exertions of the world would have been put in requisition to eradicate such scourges to humanity. But when a vile mortal sacrifices thousand and tens of thousands of his fellow creatures, to his ambition and avarice,
we hail him as the "deliverer of mankind" the "generous conqueror," the "commander of the legions of liberty," the "champion of the freedom of the seas," and a thousand other ridiculous titles. Is this infatuation? Is there no bounds to the ambition of this curse to mankind, and to the folly of his vile adherents? Has divine providence in wrath destined the world to destruction? Is civilization to give way to barbarism, and another dark age to succeed the present enlightened state of society? My countrymen, ye who rejoice at the success of the upstart Corsican, consider these questions.

General Wilkinson. —Our patriotic Commander in Chief has discovered another plot in his army, and has published some more loyal orders to his troops, somewhat in the same style with his celebrated affidavit in the case of Burr's conspiracy. It seems, however, that he has learned a little by his former experience. In giving the account, the writer, whoever he is, says—"The general had heard, that an overt act was necessary to constitute treason, and to justify accusation; but he reflected that if he should in this instance wait for the act, the actors might perhaps enter the plea of justification, and put his authority and the law at defiance: he therefore resolved, as on a former occasion, to anticipate the conspirators." Notwithstanding his having heard that Generals and Presidents, as well as common men, were, or at least ought to be, subject to law in this country, and notwithstanding the ill success of his former attempt to set the law at defiance, he still, in the heat of his zeal to prevent conspiracies, and preserve the commonwealth, bravely resolves once more to turn his back upon the rights and security of the people, and try his hands at arrests and accusation, without waiting for the overt act as the basis of his proceedings.
Whenever the great Napoleon, whose disciple it is probable our Segar Hero means to be, wished to hoist himself one degree higher in his ascent towards the Imperial throne of France, he would contrive to discover some treasonable plot against his life. Sometimes an infernal machine was attempted to be played off against his precious existence, and sometimes one thing, and sometimes another. Every new plot raised him higher in the affections of the people, until at length, to save Bonaparte from being murdered, they let him mount the throne, and tyrannize over thirty millions of abject slaves. Since which he has done little else, than to cause them, and the people of other nations, to be butchered by hundreds of thousands. Whether our military Patriot has the throne in view or not, need not be determined. But that he finds it necessary to perform some deed of high merit, cannot be doubted, to meet the publication of his own corrupt and treasonable conduct, detailed in Mr. Daniel Clark's book, which has just begun to circulate. Wilkinson, probably, is unwilling to wait for the overt act here, as in the case of his troops. He knows very well, that he has nothing but what is base in character and conduct, to oppose to the strong evidence contained in Mr. Clark's book and therefore wishes by some splendid deed , to turn the public eye away, from the record of his intrigues, and treason. But although he may exercise his military tyranny upon a sergeant, a corporal, or a few private soldiers, he will find it a difficult task to arrest the march of public indignation towards himself. The country will not much longer endure the disgrace of seeing such a man in the office of Commander in Chief of our troops, and the call for his removal will, we think, be such, that it cannot be resisted. Whatever private reasons Mr. Jefferson might have had, for continuing him in his place, or for screening him from disgrace, and punishment, it is presumed that Mr. Madison is in this respect differently situated. We think he cannot be in the power of so many wretches as his predecessor was and therefore may venture to act more independently in this particular. At all events, we are confident
he must be rid of the Commander in Chief.—CONN. MIRROR.
Poor "Common-sense in Dishability," the editor of "the Boston Patriot," has plunged himself into business for life, in retailing old President Adams's Diary of his Diplomatique life. The old gentleman seems resolved to load his democratic friends to the muzzle, whether their guns kick or split. It would be amusing, if the venerable scribbler would mix in with his letters a second edition of the answers he gave to the Addresses which were sent to him in 1798 and 1799, just for the sake of giving his democratic admirers, a little of all sorts. We are mistaken if such a procedure would not reduce the Patriot's common sense not only to dishability, but even to strip her to the buff. It would throw him into as great a perspiration, as Col. Pickering's letter to Mr. Wagner did. [Ibid.]
General Wilkinson.
We are enabled to assure the Public, from unquestionable authority, that an enquiry into the official conduct of General Wilkinson, embracing every act of his official life, (since the Revolution) will be moved in the House of Representatives, early in the next session of Congress. And from the present complexion of that body, we do not hesitate to say that a majority will be determined to conduct the investigation, as Mr. Jefferson pretended to conduct his mock military one, "with rigorous impartiality."—Freeman's Journal.
Independent Chronicle.
The most abominable and detestable publication in the United States, or any where else. We do not notice it once a year, and shall not probably ever notice it again. To no other paper would we apply such severity of remark, but, in such a case, although we will not set down ought in malice, God forbid we should extenuate. It is French, or more than French; it is all over Corsican. It professes to take "Truth for its Guide, and Liberty its Object." But it must appear to every real republican that Falsehood is its Guide, and Despotism its Object. He who does not hate it, does not love liberty.
The following is our justification for what we have said.—Ib.
Extracts from the Chronicle.
"Bonaparte instead of oppressing Hungary, offers and gives her freedom and independence."
Instead of aiming at universal empire, he is endeavouring to restore the freedom of the ocean."
One thing is certain, the United States have discovered the most ardent desire to be on friendly terms with England, while France has been neglected."
The aggressions of France have been only in retaliation of the English orders in council."
Bonaparte has discovered a pacific disposition towards us. His conduct has been marked by magnanimity."
How wonderfully a demagogue's professions differ from his practice. When the late Lieut. Governor LINCOLN wrote his inflammatory farmer's letters, he wished to enrage the people against their rulers. The people were then every thing; they possessed all power; they were to decide on the legislative proceedings; they were the true sovereigns, and public men were but their servants. A few years after, Mr. Lincoln was made Lieut. Governor, and by the decease of Gov. Sullivan, became the acting chief Magistrate of the state. He lent his aid to enforce oppressive and destructive laws, though at the expence of his allegiance to the laws and Constitution of Massachusetts. The people were justly incensed, and held meetings to express their disapprobation of such measures. The Lieut. Governor was wroth; and denounced them as "multitudinous assemblies." Mr. Lincoln was a candidate for the office of Governor, and lost it.
Governor GORE has made a visit to several parts of the state. The most respectable among the democrats join with the federalists in shewing him respect and civility. Mr. Lincoln is
wroth again; and his paper, the Agis , is filled with abuse of the people, for their polite attention to the Governor; and undertakes to prophesy. Hear what his last paper predicts—and mark the respectful manner in which it treats the people. It says "Governor Gore and his lady may journey into every town and village in the Commonwealth, and he may shake hands and bow and scrape to THE RABBLE round his coach wheels, but we (Lieut. Governor Lincoln and my brother Abraham) will answer for it, not a single vote does he gain next spring, by such shallow manœuvres."

Party papers. .....Were a stranger to read some of the violent papers of our great towns, he would be led to suppose that we are the most licentious and most profligate people on the face of the earth. That we are entirely without government, and that a peaceable man can hardly live in safety in our country. That the lives and property of our citizens are continually exposed to the depredations of an unprincipled mob, which can in a moment be set in motion by any scape-gallows foreigner, who may have the impudence to set himself up as a leader. This would certainly be the conclusion which a stranger would draw from such papers as the Whig , Aurora , Public Advertiser , Chronicle of Boston, &c. &c. But he would be mistaken. There is not a more peaceable, and more happy people on the face of the earth, than the people of America. The people as a body, have nothing to do with the papers above mentioned. And were the stranger to travel through the country, and enquire for the supporters of those papers, he would be surprised to find that every man of character and consequence in the country despises them. Even those who make use of them to answer their vile purposes are ashamed of them; and it is none but the ignorant or infatuated that will acknowledge their attachment to them. It is indeed a disgrace to the country that such papers should be supported at all; but it is some consolation to reflect that no native American of knowledge and understanding would wish to be known as supporters of such nuisances. [Independent American.]
The democratic editors, from one end of the continent to the other, discover the most extreme uneasiness at every syllable of intelligence received from Europe, that looks the least like Bonaparte's being defeated. They directly set to work to try and explain away the thing, by telling the people that it is only a British story, &c. How is this to be accounted for, unless we suppose them so devoted to their master Napoleon, that the very thought of his being worsted carries with it something of a dismayng nature to them?—The truth is, they are contending on the same side with the mighty Corsican:—the material difference rests in their respective situations, and of course begets different modes of action. While Bonaparte is contending in Germany and Spain, with the bloody myrmidons at his heels, for the total subversion of the liberties of Europe, his agents in this country, (your Duanes, your Irvines, your Everetts), are attempting to sap the vital principles of our government, in order to pave the way for the more easy and safe reception of his Imperial Majesty, or some of his faithful generals, whom he, in the plenitude of his condescension, shall please to appoint our king.—N. J. Telescope.
The jacobins have been making a great hubbub about their wonderful success in the present elections in Vermont, but they will find when too late, that they have not only been ruining their country, but cutting their own throats, and kindling a fire to roast themselves. Like a pack of blind puppies they are playing on the very verge of a precipice, and snap and snarl, and make a horrible howling if you point out their danger or attempt to coax or drive them into a secure situation. Common sense gets their eyes open in nine days, but jacobins partake of the qualities of the mole & the catamount, and remain blind and savage during their lives.—Reporter.
The only excuse offered for the detention of Americans as Prisoners of War in France is, that they have belonged to vessels which have been at an English port. Is this a sufficient reason to excuse the insult and aggression? Is this a sufficient reason to call for us to withhold our resentment at the treatment they have received, and to deny our sympathy to our countrymen in bondage? Will it justify any American in saying those poor fellows deserve their fate; that their cruel punishment is just? Is there any immorality in having been at an English port?—Coop'n. Fed.
DUANE can readily discover that our vessels detained in ports under French controul, have false papers or are engaged in British business; he cannot perceive the possibility, that any American Vessel has ever covered French or Dutch property, or carried an article contraband of war; or that any of the tales of impressment, are exaggerated, or founded on error or misrepresentation, or that English sailors have shared our sympathies with American seamen.
An Error Corrected. —In the Norfolk Herald of the 5th ult. we observe the article relative to the late trial of the British privateersmen, in capturing an American vessel, republished, with the following note attached thereto:
"The preceding article is published, in order to correct a material mistake, committed by us. Instead of a British privateer, we should have said a French privateer. The vessel captured was the sloop George , captain Reid, on a voyage from Honduras for this port. The captain of the privateer was named Cyrus , but not having the master's protest, we cannot state the name of the privateer." It is hoped that such editors as have noticed the above article, will correct the mistake, and thus "place the saddle upon the right horse."
Bonaparte, on the 13th of July, addressed a circular mandate to the Bishops, commanding them to offer up praises on account of the victories of Edzerdorf and Wagram—In this instrument he says—"Though our Lord Jesus Christ sprang from the blood of David, he sought no worldly empire; on the contrary, he required, that in concerns of this life; men should obey Cæsar—His great object was, the deliverance and salvation of souls.—We, the inheritors of Cæsar's power, are firmly resolved to maintain the independence of our throne, and the inviolability of our rights. We shall persevere in the great work of the reformation of the worship of God; we shall communicate to its Ministers that respectability which we alone can give them; we shall listen to their voice in all that concerns spiritual matters and affairs of conscience."—"We shall not be drawn aside from the great end which we strive to attain, and in which we have succeeded in part—the restoration of the altars of our divine worship; nor suffer ourselves to be persuaded that these principles, as Greeks, English, Protestants and Calvinists affirm, are inconsistent with the independence of Thrones and nations. God has enlightened us enough to remove such errors far from us. Our subjects entertain no such fear."
In the retired parish of Landehr, in the isle of Anglesea, there is now living a woman of the name of Winifred Rees, who has attained the patriarchal age of 119 years, and nearly seven months; she enjoys the unturbed ease of a cottage, in which she has resided 105 years.—She is blessed with the perfect use of her mental faculties; her eyes being as good as they were when she was in her 50th year; and strange as it may seem, has scarcely a grey hair in her head. On the 27th of March, she walked the distance of 8 miles and back to a relative's cottage, bringing home with her a parcel which weighed upwards of 22lbs.

Foreign Intelligence.
Agreeable News from Spain.
OFFICIAL.
Seville, July 27. 1809.—On the 22d inst. the combined English and Spanish army entered Talavera de la Reyna, putting to route the enemy's rear, which made a precipitate retreat to the Alberche.
Galicia and Asturias are now free of the Vandals. They did no damage to the dock yard in Ferrol, nor to the musket manufactory in Oviedo.
In Arragon, the public spirit rises higher and higher. Their army (Blake's) is increasing at Torroja. A battalion of 1000 "Faithful Saragossans" have joined them.
Geronia, though seriously attacked by Angereau's division, and though the reinforcements sent to its aid have miscarried, still makes a heroic resistance.
SEVILLE OFFICIAL GAZETTE.
A dispatch has been received from Gen. Cuesta, dated El Braw, July 24, 1809, which states, that
"The French under Marshal Victor, who had entrenched themselves on the banks of the Alberche, and were on the eve of being attacked, fled, in silence, in the night of the 23d; and the Anglo-Spanish armies are pursuing them in their retreat. Our advanced guard is in Cebola.
CADIZ.—His Excellency Don Martin de Garay, Secretary of the Supreme Junta, writes thus to the Consulate of Cadiz.
"The Supreme Board of Government has just received the important intelligence, that the united English and Spanish armies had most COMPLETELY DEFEATED the French Army on the banks of the Alberche, after two days most severe fighting and great slaughter; in which all the troops have entitled themselves to the national esteem. I M. hastens to impart this favourable news to the Consulate of Cadiz.
General Cuesta's Despatch.
Gen. Cuesta sends information from the camp at Talavers, under date the 28th July, that upon being apprized that the enemy, to the number of 40,000 men were making dispositions to attack him, he crossed the Alberche, to take up a position previously, agreed upon with the British Commander in Chief.
At 5 in the afternoon of the 27th, the enemy presented themselves, made a most vigorous charge with fixed bayonets, and were repulsed with great loss, the battle ending at 8 at night.
On the 28th, very early in the morning, the enemy renewed the attack, which they were still carrying on at 7 in the evening, when the despatch came away; at which time, the whole of the enemy's troops were driven back. The Gen. flatters himself that such will be the issue of every successive action, the English and Spanish army displaying the gallantry characteristic of their nations.
The Usurper was present in person; on that evening he withdrew to St. Gilala, with 93 carts of wounded. Lacy's division is close to Toledo; and Venegas's army must have been in Arranjuez yesterday, with an intention to proceed to Madrid.
Signed, GARAY.
P. S. Intelligence has just been received, by Express, that the enemy have been completely defeated.
CADIZ, AUG. 2.—Reports have reached this City from Seville & follows:—
FIRST REPORT.—That a glorious Victory had been gained by the combined Armies under Field Marshal Cuesta and Lieut. Gen. Sir Arthur Wellesley, over the French Army commanded by Marshal Victor.
"The loss of the British is said to be two Gen. Officers killed, and three wounded, and from 4 to 5000 men."
SECOND REPORT.—(By an Express arrived here this day, the 2d) "That Marshal Victor, with 18,000 men, has surrendered to the Combined Armies."
FROM ENGLAND.
The following articles, respecting the English Edition, are more authentic and decisive than any heretofore published—and were copied from London papers received at Baltimore.
"TO THE LORD MAYOR."
Downing-street, Aug. 6.
MY LORD—I have the honor to acquaint your Lordship, that despatches have been received from the Earl of Chatham, dated the 2d and 3d inst. from Middleburgh, by which it appears the island of Walcheren has been occupied by his Majesty's troops, (and Flushing invested after some resistance, in which a considerable number of prisoners were taken from the enemy.
"The island of South Beveland has also been taken possession of by the division under the orders of Sir John Hope."
(Signed) "CASTLEREAGH"
DEAL, AUG. 8.
The Expedition—Arrived the Idas (1) hired cutter, from the fleet off the Scheldt, whose officers landed yesterday morning at Margate, with despatches, the crews of which report that our troops were all safely landed on Sunday last, and had got possession of the island of Walcheren, except the town of Flushing, which our ships began to bombard at twelve yesterday noon, and when these vessels left at 7 o'clock in the evening, it had not surrendered, but it was thought could not hold out long.
On the arrival of the armament in the Scheldt, the wind and weather were such as to render it necessary instead of sending the troops from the West Put, as was originally intended, to proceed to the Veer Gat, on the North East side of Walcheren. On Sunday morning the troops were put on board the boats appointed for their conveyance to the shore, and moved in excellent order to the Sands. Our brave troops speedily overcame every obstacle. Campveer, Rammakins, and Middelburgh, the capital of the island, successively fell into our hands. They all surrendered by capitulation, after the enemy had made as much resistance as they could.
VIENNA, JULY 15.
Negotiations for Peace.
Yesterday afternoon, Prince John of Lichtenstein, who has been very graciously received in his audience by Napoleon, arrived here to negotiate the peace with the French minister of state, count Champagny.
The Emperor Francis is generally asserted here, is much in favor of peace, and charged the Archduke in writing to open negotiations for it, even for considerable sacrifices in order to put an end to the dreadful effusion of blood. Previous to the signing of the armistice, some chief points had been agreed upon, which are to form the basis of the peace about to be made. An immediate peace was expected, nay, bets were laid that the Emperor Napoleon will be at Paris by his birth day, the 15th of August.
BLAKE'S DEFEAT.
Gen. Blake's account of the cowardly flight of the troops of his army, when attacked by the French at Belchite, near Sarragossa, on the 18th June, has been published in the United States. In consequence of that disgraceful occurrence, the Supreme Junta of Seville issued the following Address:
"The Supreme Board has read, with no less indignation than grief, this true and melancholy relation. It fondly hoped, that an Army so well provided and conducted, would by driving the Enemy from Arragon, and gathering fresh strength in its victorious progress, prove one of the main anchors of the State. One unfortunate moment has blasted these hopes for the present; and although it be sure to find, at all times, in the loyalty and enthusiasm of the nation, abundant means to make up the loss sustained, the reputation and honor of our arms, tarnished by a dispersion so disgraceful as inconceivable, are not to be restored in the same manner.
And, indeed, what is it to be ascribed to? To a want of confidence in the Chief? The worthy General, who commanded those Troops, celebrated for his gallantry, had promised them fresh triumphs. To fear? And of whom? Of an enemy whom they had gloriously conquered but a short time before. Perchance to treachery? It is horrid to lay so, and impossible to credit it. In short, to pique, ill-will or envy? Ah! unhappy men! your country is in danger; and you can think of your miserable petty quarrels and puerile
pretensions, and abandon her in that perilous situation! Lay, then, on the Spanish name aside; put on the French uniform; disgrace yourselves by the adoption of the French badge; and tear your own country's bosom to pieces.
"O ye, who, in prosperous as in adverse circumstance, have shown yourselves worthy of the great name by which we are distinguished, and of the cause which we defend! Andalusians who at Baylen succeeded in humbling the French Eagles to the dust; Galicians who so boldly raised the Standard of Freedom when the World thought you subdued forever, and who know no better days than those on which you can overtake the enemy to attack and destroy him; Asturians who maintain, wherever you happen to fight, your ancient & venerable character; Castilians, Extremadurians, who, in the fields of Cabezon, Rioseco and Medellin, compelled Fame to confer upon you the prize of valor, although Fortune would not deck your brows with the laurels of victory; Catalonians, who, notwithstanding the occupation of your frontiers and fortresses, incessantly harrafs your treacherous Oppressors; Valencians who so gloriously defended your walls in the preceding campaign; valiant Arragonese, heroic Sarragossans; august pattern of loyalty and constancy, who were on the point of seeing your fetters broken, and of raising your head bending under the yoke! come ye all to this field of battle, come and pass sentence upon the infamous authors of that unheard-of flight! Tell them, that the Chieftains and the Generals who commanded them, although left alone, were escorted by their honor, their virtue, and the esteem and confidence of their country, of which they never were undeserving; but they, they who so vilely abandoned them, who ran away in so dastardly a manner, let the cause of their flight have been what it will, they are the objects of the execration of all good Citizens, and the disgrace of the Spanish name; in short, they deserve the exemplary and most just punishment which Government will inflict upon them, wherever they can be found.
By the Scales.
SAVANNAH, SEPT. 9.
The following has been handed us for publication, in order to contradict a report recently circulated of forty sail of American vessels having been sent into Jamaica for adjudication.
"I, John Davidson, master of the schooner Ann, lately arrived from Jamaica, do hereby certify, that the report which has been circulated of American vessels being carried into Jamaica, is unfounded; and so far from being a fact, that, during my passage to and from that island, I was boarded by five or six boats from British ships of war, and they never examined a man, nor asked for a protection.
"JOHN DAVIDSON."
BALTIMORE, SEPT. 21.
Liberty of the Seas.—An American gentleman of respectability lately returned from Holland, says, that though vessels are permitted under certain conditions to leave the ports of that country, and return to them, by the laws and ordinances of king Lewis, the poor Dutchmen are entirely subjected to the French laws, which forbid it. That some time in June, three Dutch vessels were coming into Helvet, with salt, an article of necessary consumption, and a little boat, manned with 10 or 12 Frenchmen, with muskets and cutlasses, rowed out and took them. They were brought straight into the port to which they belonged, and libelled at the court of the French consul. The gentleman adds, that there was not the least doubt of their fate, or that the appeal to the council of prizes at Paris would relieve them. He says indeed, that both the American captain, with whom he came home, and himself, entertained apprehensions that the same row boat would follow and capture them on leaving the port, and seriously believed it would have been the case, if the pirate had not been detained to prosecute his condemnation of the Dutchmen.
It is manifest that the Dutch government can afford no protection, even to its own subjects, if indeed it has not combined with that of France, to inveigle innocent Dutchmen, as well as neutrals into the traps of the grand destroyer.
NEW-YORK, SEPT. 22, 1809.
HANET CARAMALLI, the Ex-Ba-
shaw of Tripoli [who was in the United States two or three years since, and to reestablish whom, Gen. Eaton, and other Americans made so many exertions] has been formally installed Dey of Berne [perhaps Bey of Derne] and has taken possession of his government. This province, and its revenues (12,000 sequins), has been ceded to this well-meaning old man through the influence of Dr. Davis, agent of the United States at Tripoli.
On Sunday morning last, an Affair of Honor (as it is called in the fashionable jargon of the day) was settled between Dr. L. and Mr. H. both of the 6th regiment of U. S. Infantry, at the spot where Gen. HAMILTON fell a victim. The parties were reconciled after the first fire, without either of them having received the smallest injury.
Yesterday se'nnight about 4 o'clock arrived at Norfolk, the United States Frigate Essex JOHN SMITH, Esq. commander.—Incredible as it may appear, this ship took her departure from the Light House off Newport, at 1 o'clock on Wednesday morning, and made Cape Henry Light House on Thursday morning at 8 o'clock, and was moored in the harbor of Norfolk at 3 the same day. This Frigate is generally considered one of the fastest sailers that ever was launched—the beauty of her model reflects the highest credit on the naval architecture of our country. [She was built at Salem, Ms.]
FATAL ACCIDENT.—At the Elizabethown races, on Saturday last, one of the horses bolted and run among the crowd, perfectly unmanageable, and at length came in contact with Col. MAYO's carriage, with one or more ladies in it. As the animal rose to leap over the horses, one of his hoof struck the fore wheel with such force as to knock out four of the spokes. This threw him heels over head between the horses and driver clear over both horses, pitched his rider upon his head and killed him on the spot.
The following article, which has been exatly copied in most of the Jacobin papers, as affording evidence of the cordiality subsisting between Americans and Frenchmen, we now insert for the very opposite purpose of showing how much the nation has been debased by her representative on this occasion. We believe that there is not a man in the country who has genuine patriotism that will not become indignant on perusing the article. We ask, whether at any time it would be decent, or proper, or excusable in the ambassador of a country effecting the strictes neutrality to sanction by his presence a spectacle in which one of the belligerents is depicted in so degrading a posture. But at a season when we are experiencing every species of contumely, insult, outrage & injury from France, was not the conduct of general Armstrong enormously foolish or flagitious, and such as requires that he should no longer represent these "free, sovereign, and independent states?" We did hope that the cant of affiliation & fraternization between the two republics was at an end. [U. S. Gazette.]
PARIS, JULY, 10.
On the 4th inst. the Americans residing in this city, celebrated the anniversary of the ever memorable day which gave birth to their independence. The greatest taste was displayed in the decorations of the room in which they assembled: The walls were covered with emblematic figures of exquisite workmanship. At one end of the room America and France were seen sitting together in the Temple of Psae, united with laurel wreathes, each holding a horn of Plenty, with England in a humble attitude at her feet. Another emblem represented the president U. S. and the senate of the same, before whom stood an old warrior, bearing a standard on which is inscribed—"4th of July, 1776. Freedom of the seas for neutrals, or war with England!"
General Armstrong ambassador from the U. S. the gentlemen composing his legation and many French gentlemen of the highest distinction partook of the entertainment.
Considerable anxiety must naturally exist to know the result of Mr. Armstrong's Negotiations at Paris—our honour and interest being both at stake—particularly as the democrats contend that a Government must ratify what its Plenipotentiary agrees to.
Of what avail would a new Treaty with France, be to this country? We already have one with that nation; and how is it adhered to? In violation of its plainest, and most solemn stipulations, our vessels have been seized and burnt on the high seas, or have been carried into port, and either condemned or detained until the property has been lost to the owners, and their vessels
rotted in port; our seamen too have been imprisoned, and treated as slaves; and our flag insulted by the grossest outrages. This is well known to every American; and yet we hear such men, as the editor of the Salem Register, approving and vindicating the conduct of France; and charging us with British influence for merely suggesting our fears that any new alliance with a nation so perfidious, must bring on the country the worst of calamities.

HARTFORD, SEPT. 25.
There appears to have been less party spirit, and, of course, less exertion, at the Freeman's meeting in this state, on Monday last, than for many years past. In a considerable number of towns, no votes were given for the Nomination, by the democratic party. In this town the meeting was not so numerous as usual. Our returns are not complete, and we cannot therefore state the precise strength of the parties. In this county, there are but 7 democratic Representatives. In May last there were 10. In the county of New London, there is a gain of three democratic Representatives, in Windham three, and in Tolland one. The county of Litchfield is entirely federal. From the other counties we have not heard.

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
On Saturday last, arrived at this port, ship Franklin, capt. Salter, in 48 days from Liverpool. By which we have received London dates to Aug. 10, four days later than the accounts published in the last Gazette. They however contain little or no information of importance. We give the following extracts:
LONDON, AUG. 10.
Last night Paris Papers to the 31st ult. reached town. They contain the 29th Bulletin of the French Army, dated Vienna, the 22d July. This document is remarkably barren of information, particularly with respect to the point upon which we are at present the most interested, viz. the execution of the Armistice. It states, indeed, that General Regnier occupies Presburgh; but whether the other stipulations of the Armistice have been complied with, or whether any obstacles have arisen to prevent their execution, we are not told. The fortress of Gratz was, according to the terms of the Armistice, to be given up to the French on the 16th ult. and yet, on the 22d, they had not got possession of it: the Bulletin only says, that it was expected that Marshal Macdonald would enter Gratz on that day, viz. the 22d. The report of Bonaparte's having left Vienna on the 15th, for the purpose of returning to Paris, appears to have been unfounded; The Bulletin does not talk of his departure, but says, that he is employed every morning in reviewing his guards.
TWENTY-NINTH BULLETIN.
VIENNA, JULY 22.
"Generals Durosnel and Foulers have returned to the head-quarters. All our surmises with respect to the fate of the former have proved erroneous. He was not wounded, and had no horse killed under him; but as he was coming back from carrying the Duke of Montebello the order for concentrating his movements on account of the destruction of the bridges, on the 22d of May, he crossed a hollow where he found twenty-five hussars, whom he fancied formed one of our out-posts. He did not perceive they were Austrians until they had made him their prisoner. As we had been so long without hearing from him, as well as from other probable reasons, we thought he had been killed.
"The General of Division Regnier has taken the command of the Saxons, and occupies Presburgh.
"Marshal Macdonald is gone to take possession of the citadel of Gratz, which it is expected he will enter to-day.
"The Marshal Duke of Ragusa encamps with his corps on the heights of Krems.
"His Imperial Majesty passes his guards in review every morning. The veites and foot grenadiers of the Italian guard are remarkable for their excellent order.
"Prince John de Lichtenstein, on his return from Buda, was presented on the 18th inst. to his Imperial Majesty. He was bearer of a letter from the Emperor of Austria.
"Count Bubna, Major-General and Aid-de-camp to the Emperor of Austria, has dined several times with Count Champagny.
"The commercial boats, which the events of the war had scattered in various directions, have been collected and repaired on the banks of the Danube.

They come every day laden with wood, vegetables, corn and flour. "The whole army is encamped."
LONDON, Aug. 9. —No further official despatches had arrived from the Expedition at a late hour this morning—The date of the last is on the evening of Saturday last. The commandant of Flushing is General Macey, and the garrison is said to be composed entirely of French troops—they amount to 4000 men—The siege of this place, whether it be protracted or not, will not delay the ulterior operations—The troops are all to go through the Slough; and the men of war, it is said, can pass Flushing without any great danger, even though it should not have surrendered—Lord Rosslyn's, Gen. Grosvenor's, and the Marquis of Huntley's divisions, are reported to be already in the West Scheldt—The project is stated by some to be to land the troops near Antwerp, but we should rather suppose that they will be marched along one of the banks of the Scheldt, whilst our ships of the line, frigates, gun-boats and bomb vessels proceed up the river—The six sail of the line which were at Flushing, are stated to be moored across the Scheldt, from fort Lillo to fort Lickenshoeck—in front of the ships of the line is a flotilla of gun-boats—But we rather imagine, that of the ships that were at Flushing, three sail of the line grounded on the sand off South Beveland, and have not been got off. These, we should suppose, will first fall into our hands. The naval obstacles in the Scheldt to Antwerp, will no doubt be overcome by the superior skill, valor, and decision of our seamen. Many of the forts on the banks of the Scheldt have been long destroyed. Fort Frederick, on the left Bank is in ruins, as well as Fort Saint Philip—Fort Lies, and Fort Saint Mary, on the right Bank, are also in ruins.—The present forts are, Forts Lillo, Lickenshoeck, and Perle. At the entrance of the Scheldt, leading to Antwerp, there is a fort on the left, called Fort St. Martin. None of these forts, we should suppose, are likely to make a very long resistance against our heavy ships, and our large force of artillery, with an immense train of heavy battering cannon. The horses for the battering train sailed some days ago.
Extract of a letter, dated off Walcheren, August 4.
"The fortress of Camvere stood a furious bombardment before it surrendered; many houses are damaged, one completely burnt by Congreve rockets. The island is beautiful, though the weather is very bad, which prevents our seeing it to advantage. Ramakins must be taken before Flushing can be well attacked. It is reported that the Duke D'Abrantes is marching towards Antwerp with 30,000 men. We are going to join Lord Gardner in an attack upon Flushing: the land batteries were opened yesterday evening. I could observe the smoke from the mast-head, the smoke is very visible."
"The French fleet are run up towards Antwerp, I fear out of our reach at present. Our small gun-boats did great execution, only two men were killed on board them. The Royals stormed a battery in a most glorious style."
VIENNA, JULY 15. —It is stated that the French and Austrian Plenipotentiaries, who are to conclude and sign the Treaty of Peace, will meet at Brunn; and General Count Andreossy, and Prince Lichtenstein, are pointed out as the persons entrusted with that important mission. Nothing has yet transpired of the negotiations which have already taken place. It is only remarked, that the greatest activity prevails in the office of Count Champagne, Minister for Foreign Affairs. His Excellency repairs every day to Schoenbrunn, and spends several hours with his Imperial Majesty.
PARIS, JULY 30. —His Majesty has ordered an immediate stop to be put to the reprisals lately decreed against the subjects of the Dey of Algiers as the Dey has given satisfaction for his conduct towards Mr. Dubois Thainville, and the Frenchmen in his dominions. In consequence, the sequestration laid on his vessels and goods is raised.
His Majesty also revives the decree of September 16, 1808, relative to colonial produce coming through Holland, and which had been annulled by the decree of the 11th June last. No colonial produce coming through Holland shall therefore be admitted on the territory of the French Empire, whatever be the mode of its importation, or the certificates with which it is attended.
MUNSTER, JULY 22. —His Majesty the King of Westphalia is expected at Hanover, which place General Renbell entered the 19th inst. at the head of 6000 Westphalian troops.
By the Franklin we learn, that just before she sailed, reports were in circulation, in Liverpool, that the Swedes had shut their ports against the English.
FOR THE GAZETTE.
DE SENECTUTE.—No. III.
IT is, as the Ex-President confesses, a great pity, that any one should attempt to write on a subject, which he does not understand. And it is perhaps as great folly to write concerning what no one wants to hear. Yet in perusing the correspondence alluded to, we are often wearied with the recital of circumstances which are neither instructive nor entertaining. Instances of this may be seen, in his letters of June 22, 29, 29, and 30, of the present year; where
he narrates affairs, too frivolous to attach to themselves the least notice, and are here mentioned as a proof that the shining qualities of our political champion are impaired.
But notwithstanding this, many phrases have crept into his late composition, which are used by the party from which they must have derived their birth, in a manner calculated to delude, rather than inform, deceive, rather than correct. Some of these have been already noticed, and others will be in this and future numbers.
In his letter of December, mentioned in No. I. he says, "I conclude with acknowledging that we have received greater injuries from England than from France, abominable as both have been." That we have been injured by both nations, is an incontrovertible fact: France, by her decrees, Britain, by her orders in council. What Britain did, was while no obligatory instrument existed between the two nations; what France has done, is in violation of an established treaty, in full force between her and the United States. But "England has taken our men from our own vessels." And has not France done the same, and burnt our ships besides? Wherein, then, have we suffered "more from England than from France?" Great Britain has forbidden us to trade with France, and France has done the same as it relates to England. The British orders being retaliatory to the Berlin decree, the French must be considered the aggressors, and the party from whom we ought to seek redress. But if the immediate injuries from France, are not equal in magnitude to those from England, and do not directly affect our interest so largely, yet as the Berlin decree was the procuring cause of the orders in council, though the consequent injuries of them be vastly superior to those of the former, in proportion to their maritime strength, Adams' assertion is not correct.
In his letter of June 6, he says, "I am somewhat disappointed, in not finding in this pamphlet, the word obscure applied to Mr. Pinchon, because the newspapers in Boston, Newyork, and Philadelphia, written by Mr. Hamilton's coadjutors and fellow laborers in the same field of scandal, had profusely scattered their dull sarcasms on the obscurity of the agent or agents, at the Hague." This sentence goes, to its full length, to convey what thousands have reported. And Adams himself, through the whole of this correspondence, intimates, that a party under Alexander Hamilton had combined to overthrow our excellent constitution, and make us subservient to the English monarchy. Yet it proves an argument against itself, for had there been such a company of "coadjutors and fellow laborers in the same field of scandal" as the writer describes, he could not, in any probability, have been thus disappointed. His expectations would have been verified, and he would have seen the looked for word, and made a long discourse thereon. But no such a club of coadjutors, &c. existing, he was disappointed, as every one must be, who attempts to prove, that the federalists have a predilection for any foreign nation whatever, or any inimical disposition to our own.
On the 10th of June, he informed the editors of the Patriot, that Mr. Hamilton related some things, which he could not have known, unless informed by some of the cabinet, and says, "I believe that all the privy councillors in the world, but our own, are under oath of secrecy, and ours ought to be. But as they are not, their own honor or sense of propriety, ought, with them, to be obligations as sacred as an oath." Had Mr. Adams extended this sentence to the length he ought, it would have embraced the President also; for it must be as detrimental to the interest of the cabinet, for the president to promulgate the conduct of its several members, as it is for the president to have his conduct developed by them. Yet Adams has done it in this correspondence, although he considers "their own honor ought to be as obligatory on them as an oath." He says, "If there existed such a spy (that is, one who communicated these things to Mr. Hamilton) he had as clear a right to communicate the conferences to Mr. Liston, or Marquis Yrujo." In the very time of making these complaints, for developing secrecy, he is unfolding mysteries, which he had no more right to do, than Hamilton's spy had for his conduct, which the ex-president disapproves. This resembles lunacy, and cannot be the production of sound policy. For no man, having common sense, would blame another for revealing a secret, which he himself, at the same time, was publishing to the world.
In his letter of June 8, he says, "I have great reason to believe, that Mr. Jefferson came into office, with the same disposition, that I did, that is, with a sincere desire of conciliating parties, as far as he possibly could, consistently with his principles." What the disposition of either was, on entering into office, is unknown to any but themselves. We must judge of their intentions, by their after conduct. If President Jefferson was disposed to conciliate parties, as far as was consistent with his principles, he soon thrust aside so meritorious a disposition, or it was not "consistent with his principles" to have a federalist in office. Witness his appointments. Albert Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury; Henry Dearborn, Secretary of War. The for-
mer of whom had headed a rebellion in Pennsylvania, and the latter, while in office, paid more than fifty thousand dollars extra, to Gen. Wilkinson, which was so much more than the law admitted, by which Gen. Wilkinson had the audacity to demand of Gen. Dearborn to deliver, and Thomas Jefferson to allow. Is the appointment of such men to office, a favorable prelude to conciliating parties?—Gideon Granger was appointed Postmaster General, and followed the steps of his august Chief, by turning from office worthy men, and putting worthless wretches in. Under Thomas Jefferson and Gideon Granger, the worn-out soldier, whom Washington had appointed to office, was sure to be remanded from his station, to make room for some turbulent renegado, or outcast foreigner. The patriot bearing scars of balls, and trophies of battle, was ousted from what station soever he held, to make way for him who wore the deformities of intemperance, and whose body oft was brought subject to Bacchus' feet.
How different is such conduct, from that godlike course of executive proceeding, mentioned by Adams himself, in the former part of the same letter, where he says, "An honest party man will never exclude talents and virtues, and qualities eminently useful to the public, merely on account of a difference in opinion." Yet Jefferson has rejected the most brilliant talents, on this account, and followed the pernicious practice of a "factious man," whom Adams, in the next succeeding sentence, says, "will exclude every man, alike a saint, or sinner, who will not be a blind passive tool." Has Mr. Jefferson, in pursuing such a course of conduct, exemplified a sincere desire of conciliating parties?
Another proof of the debilities of John Adams, is apparent in his expressing such an opinion, which his son believing, doubtless drew from him.
It is submitted to the public, whether a man, writing such inconsistencies as the ex-president, merits the attention attached to him by the democratic party.
LAEIUS.
Settlement with France.
The Democrats are buzzing about a new treaty with France—but we cannot discover that Gen. Armstrong and Mr. Hauterive have come to any conclusion. We should most heartily rejoice could our difficulties with France be terminated. Such a measure would be the most complete evidence of the humiliation of Bonaparte,—and it would clearly demonstrate to the people that all our difficulties have sprung from him. An amicable arrangement with Britain would follow of course. On no other ground is a treaty with France of any consequence. We already have a treaty with her; but that has never stood in competition with the interest or whims of Bonaparte. Nor would any new treaty be any thing more, than a cobweb. He would no more be bound by it, than by the former, or by his treaties with Spain, Holland and other countries.

American Prisoners in France.
The Jacobins are terribly enraged against Mr. Barnard, the American Consul at Havre, who has sent over an authentic list of 55 Americans detained in French prisons. Duane has a long story about it, in which he attempts to prove that the French, as usual are not at all to blame. He affirms that those seamen have neither right or reason to complain. "As well," says he, "might a fellow caught picking pockets, and sentenced by our courts to fine and imprisonment, complain of the law of nations, and talk of the ransom demanded from him by the government of the United States"—such is the language applied to American seamen, by such a rascal!!! Other French advocates, by way of a set off, have told us that the British have impressed 3, 4 or 5,000 of our seamen—but this is not confirmed by any consular certificate, and they are capable of saying any thing. They might as well have said 10 or 20,000, when they were about it. But as they are conscious their bare ipse dixit goes but for little they have mentioned the names of ten or a dozen men on board two British vessels of war; but this they have done at random: we believe no such persons are there. It is possible the British may have some Americans which they have taken in exchange for Frenchmen. For, from the report of the Secretary of State dated October 1, 1796 wherein the robberies of the French were stated, we learn that, "The persons also, of our citizens have been beaten, insulted, and cruelly imprisoned; and in the forms used towards prisoners of war they have been EXCHANGED with the BRITISH FOR FRENCHMEN. American property going to or coming from neutral, or even French ports, has been seized: it has been forcibly seized when in their own ports, without any pretence or no other than that they wanted it. At the same time their cruizers are guilty of wanton and barbarous excesses, by detaining, plundering, firing at, burning and distressing American vessels." Capt. William
Martin of the Cincinnati, was tortured by thumb screws by a French officer for nearly four hours, to make him confess that his cargo was British property. All these things were justified by the Jacobins, just as they now justify the imprisonment of our seamen by the French. France can do no wrong, is their motto.— Ibid.
News from Jerusalem.
[Translated from a late Paris paper.] The most distressing intelligence is received at Constantinople from the Holy Land. It is reported that the Armenian inhabitants in the neighborhood of Jerusalem have quarreled with the Christians there, and proceeded to such extremity that many persons have already lost their lives. It is added, that many disasters have happened in the Holy City, and that several Christian churches have been destroyed.

Poetry.
THE CAMBRIDGE SCHOLAR, AND THE GHOST OF A SCAG OF MUTTON.
In the days which are past, by the banks of a stream Who's waters but softly were flowing, With ivy o'ergrown, an old mansion house stood, That was built on the skirts of a chilling damp wood, Where the yew tree and cypress were growing.
The villagers shook as they passed by the doors, When they rested at eve from their labours; And the traveller many a furlong went round If his ears once admitted the terrifick sound, Of the tale that was told by the neighbours.
They said that the house on the skirts of the wood By a saucer-eyed ghost was infested, Who fill'd every heart with confusion and fright, By assuming strange shapes in the dead of the night, Shapes monstrous, and foul, and detested.
And truly they said, and the master well knew That the ghost was the greatest of evils; For no sooner the bell of the mansion toll'd one Than the frolicksome imp, in a twinkling begun To caper, like ten thousand devils.
He appeared in forms the most strange and uncouth, Sure never was goblin so daring! He utter'd loud shrieks and most horrible cries, Curf'd his body and bones, and his sweet little eyes, 'Till his impudence grew beyond bearing.
Just at this nick o' time, when the master's sad heart, With anguish and sorrow was swelling, He heard that a scholar, with science replete, Full of mystical lore as an egg is with meat, Had taken at Cambridge a dwelling.
The scholar was vers'd in all magical arts, Most famous was he throughout college; To the red sea full many an unquiet ghost, To reprove with king Pharaoh & his mighty host He had sent thro' his powerful knowledge.
To this scholar so learned, the master then went, And as lowly he bent with submission, Told the freaks of the ghost, and the horrible frights That prevented the household from resting a night, And offered his humble petition:—
"That he, the said scholar, in wisdom so wise, "Would the mischievous fiend lay in let-ters; "Then send him in torments forever to dwell, "To the nethermost pit of the nethermost hell, "For destroying the sleep of his betters."
The scholar so vers'd in all mystical lore, Told the master his prayer should be granted; Then ordered his horse to be saddled with speed, And perched on the back of his cream color'd steed, Trotted off to the house that was haunted.
He entered the doors at the fall o' the night— The trees of the forest 'gan shiver; The hoarse raven croak'd, and blue burnt the light, The owl loudly shriek'd, and pale with affright The servants like aspens did quiver.
"Bring some turnips and milk!" the scholar he cry'd, In a voice like the echoing thunder:— They brought him some turnips, and suct beside, Some milk, and a spoon, and his motions they eyed, Quite lost in conjecture and wonder.
He took up the turnips and peel'd off the skin, Put them into a pot that was boiling; Spread a table and cloth, and made ready to sup, Then called for a fork, and the turnips fished up In a hurry for they were a spoiling.
He mash'd up the turnips with butter & milk; The hail at the caement 'gan clatter; Yet this scholar ne'er heeded the tempest without, But raising his eyes and turning about, Ask'd the maid for a small wooden platter.
He mash'd up the turnips with pepper and salt; The farm came on thicker and faster: The lightning blue flash'd and with terrifick din The wind at each crevice and cranny came in, Tearing up by the roots lath and plaster.
He mash'd up the turnips with nutmeg and spice, The mice would have ravish'd a glutton; When lo! his sharp bones hardly cover'd with skin, The ghost from a nook o'er the window prep'd in, In the form of a loaf of mutton.
"Ho! ho!" said the ghost, "what art doing below! The scholar look'd up in a twinkling— "The times are too bad to afford any meat, "So to render my turnips more pleasant to eat, "A few grains of pepper I'm sprinkling."
Then he caught up a fork, and the mutton he seiz'd, And found it at once in the platter: Threw o'er it some salt, and a spoonful of fat, And before the poor ghost could tell what he was at, He was gone!—like a mouse down the throat of a cat, And this is the whole of the matter. Falsehood is like a wound which leaves no scar,
