TO THE PEOPLE CALLED
Quakers,
Residing in the State of New-Jersey, worthy of the perusal, however of every class of Citizens in the United States.
FRIENDS & FELLOW-CITIZENS,
AMONG all the arts and deceptions, which the enemies of Republicanism have practiced, to delude their less informed fellow-citizens, none have been more successful, though none were more wicked, than that of persuading them that Mr. ADAMS followed the system, and imitated the measures adopted by General WASHINGTON. They knew that the administration of President WASHINGTON was popular, because it was peaceful, economical, and simple. They knew that Mr. ADAMS' administration was the very reverse. But by blending them together, they hoped the name of WASHINGTON would act as a shield to the conduct of ADAMS, and defend him from scrutiny or censure. Their hopes have been too far realized. Many persons who loved WASHINGTON, and approved of his official conduct; have transferred their love and approbation to ADAMS and his measures; merely because they were told his principles and plans were the same. Let us, my fellow-citizens, before we applaud any further the measures of the late administration, on account of their similarity to those of WASHINGTON, enquire in what that similarity consists? I have reflected not a little on this subject, and I must confess I have not been able to discover the least of our liberty-principles of WASHINGTON in him therefore, pursuing a conduct that reflect honor on himself and his country. Perhaps they contrast, action?
ROWSE TAYLOR Has of
WASHINGTON.
Gen. Washington was the warm friend of the French Revolution, and the panegyrist of the people who produced it. In his Speech to a Representative of that nation, in 1794, he used the following language:—"My anxious recollections, my sympathetic feelings, and my best wishes, are irresistibly excited, whenever, in any country, I see an oppressed people unfurl the banners of freedom. But, above all, the events of the French Revolution have produced the deepest solicitude as well as the highest approbation. To call your nation brave, were to pronounce but common praise. Wonderful People! ages to come will read with astonishment the history of your brilliant exploits!"
Notwithstanding Gen. Washington's predilection for the French Nation and their cause, so great was his love of peace, that he was determined at all events to preserve it; and for this purpose issued his proclamation of a perfect neutrality.
In 1793, when the convulsions of Europe were at their height, and the intrigues of foreign agents in this country rendered our situation extremely precarious, Gen. Washington declared in an address to Congress, that the Militia ought to be considered as "the depository of the national force," and that it was equal "to every military exigency of the United States."
In Washington's Farewell Address, he cautions his successors against foreign alliances or enmities. He tells us, "Europe has a set of primary objects, which to us have none or a very remote relation." He asks, "why should we, by interweaving our destiny with any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalry, interest, honor, or caprice?" And adds, "Let me not be understood as patronizing infidelity to existing engagements." "So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith—Here let us stop."
At the close of the Revolutionary War, in answer to an address from some Irish Aliens in New-York, after paying a handsome, tho' just tribute to the virtue and valor of the Irish people, Gen. Washington says:—"The bosom of America is open to receive, not only the opulent and respectable stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all nations and religions; whom we shall welcome to a participation of all our rights and privileges, if by decency and propriety of conduct, they shall appear to merit the enjoyment." Washington was as good as his promise, nor ever attempted to repel unhappy foreigners from our shores by unconstitutional Alien laws, or inhospitable bills of Naturalization.
Washington always solicited an investigation of his official conduct, and challenged the severest scrutiny. His intentions being pure, his conduct was upright; and, conscious of this, he fought the light; knowing, the better his actions were understood, the greater would be the approbation bestowed upon them by his fellow-citizens.
Washington was celebrated for the economy with which he administered government, requiring only trifling duties on a few of the necessaries, in addition to those levied on the luxuries of life. Nothing was taken from the mouth of labor, by land-taxes or stamp-acts. Farmers and Mechanics pursued their occupations, with scarcely knowing how Government was maintained, at least not feelingly.
Washington was an avowed enemy to kingly government, and rejoiced at its overthrow in America and France. He was a warm friend of Republican governments, and conceived them the only ones by which the safety of a people could be secured, at the same time their liberties would be freed from the fear of invasion. And in his farewell address, exhorts the people to preserve their present form of government free from infraction; as their only pledge for happiness and prosperity.
Washington, during the whole time he was President, never bestowed an office upon any one of his family; the places in his gift were dispensed as equally as could well be, through the different States, uninfluenced by political or religious distinctions.
ADAMS.
In 1797, Mr. Adams, in answer to some of his adulatory addressers, expresses his doubts whether Liberty was ever the object of the French Revolution; declares his belief that it could never be attained; laments the downfall of kingly government, and the explosion of popish idolatry and superstition; vents the most unseemly and indecent execrations on the French people and their rulers, without a single exception; and echoes, with evident signs of complacency, the language of the addressers, stigmatizing the French Nation "a band of robbers," "a horde of pirates," jacobins, cutthroats, &c.—a language unbecoming any rational person, much more the sovereign Magistrate of a civilized people.
Some of the first official acts of Mr. Adams were to sacrifice the neutral position taken by his predecessor, to commence a predatory warfare against the vessels and commerce of France; and impiously to declare that the "finger of Heaven pointed to war!"
When Mr. Adams became President, the Militia were neglected and treated with the utmost contempt; and his whole reliance was placed upon an army of mercenaries, drawn from the dregs of society; and who, possessing little property and less principle, were better fitted to be the tools of an aspiring Cromwell, than a bulwark of defence to a free people.
Mr. Adams in his inauguration speech, talks about our "forming a weight in the balance of power in Europe, which can never be forgotten or neglected." So far from fulfilling all our existing engagements with good faith, (agreeably to the paternal injunction of Washington,) our treaty with France was annulled; and equally far from adhering to the other principles of Washington, to stop here, and form no new engagements; embassies were projected to almost every nation in Europe, even to Constantinople, where the whole amount of our commerce would not pay an ambassador's outfit, of 9,000 dollars.
So far from the bosom of our country remaining open to receive "the oppressed and persecuted of all nations," an Alien law was enacted and signed by Mr. Adams, placing every foreigner who might arrive on our shore at the discretion of the President, who might banish him whenever he should think proper to suspect him of being a suspicious character. And instead of being "welcomed to a participation of all our rights and privileges," they were, by a naturalization law, required to live 14 years in America, before they would be even entitled to a vote at a common election. And every measure was adopted to prevent foreigners from coming here, which a narrow and illiberal policy could suggest.
To prevent the official conduct of Mr. Adams and his co-adjutors from being investigated, they enacted a Sedition law, by which every person who presumed to discuss or censure their acts, was subjected to fine and imprisonment. Thus tacitly confessing, that theirs were the works of darkness, and shunned the light.
The administration of Mr. Adams was profligate and profuse in the extreme. The ordinary income was far short of being sufficient. Immense sums were raised at an immense interest, to disburse immediate requisitions; and the people were burthened with a tax on dwelling-houses, lands and slaves, a tax on the paper on which they wrote contracts, an additional tax on salt, &c. to prevent bankruptcy.
Adams declared the government by kings, lords, and commons, the perfection of human invention. He declared "Republican government might be made to mean any thing." He declared, "this country would never be happy till the President and Senate became hereditary or for life." Of course, he was a decided enemy to our present Republican institution, and it is therefore less wonder that he so often invaded and infringed them, and contemned the authority of the People recognized by them.
Mr. Adams, in the bestowal of offices, provided first for his relations and friends; confined all his favors to his party in politics; and in his appointments was extremely partial to the States of Massachusetts & Connecticut. (To be Continued.)

To those Gentlemen of the Committee of Merchants, who signed the Circular Letter in 1785, for the purpose of Restricting the British Trade, and who are in favor of the British Treaty.
GENTLEMEN,
WHILE reading your important Letter, (which was communicated to the Citizens in every commercial town throughout the United States,) on the alarming situation of the American Trade, and observing the name of HANCOCK among the subscribers, we cannot but drop a tear of condolence for our country that this Patriot is no more. His spirit has ascended to the Heavenly regions, and we trust receives those rewards peculiarly assigned to the Philanthropist and Patriot. He was always foremost in the cause of his country, he ever stood conspicuous as the friend to the rights of man; in every instance, he placed himself in a responsible situation, when the welfare of America demanded it—but alas the People lost a friend, when the death of HANCOCK was announced. In him, every patriotic heart was united, and he continued to his last breath, uniform in an adherence to his principles. In honor to his memory be it spoken, he never advocated a political measure, which his real friends, during the revolution, reprobated; neither was he reduced in any part of his administration, to look to the old enemies of his country for approbation. The patriot HANCOCK lived revered by his friends, and during the period of his existence, only the foul, invenomed, torified pen of a LAGO dared to impeach his integrity. The fidelity of HANCOCK was rewarded by the universal detestation of this abandoned miscreant.
Your Circular Letter, Gentlemen, in 1785, honored with the name of our deceased friend; and no doubt, was he now alive, he would be active in vindicating the sentiments to which he then gave his signature. His heart and his hand even beat and moved in unison.—Hamilton never poisoned his mind nor a British Faction intimidated him to alter his determination—he was in no instance the dupe of a party, and never foolishly trusted to the support of men, who were planning measures to supersede him in his official capacity. He had such sagacity as would have detected the designs of his enemies, if under the garb of flattery, they had meant to bring forward a rival to mar his political reputation. If a Pinckney had lived in this Commonwealth, our Patriot would soon have discerned the artifice of a Junto to eclipse his glory. If his original choice rested on the vote of his fellow-citizens, he would not have blasted his reputation by depending on the fly manoeuvres of the Legislature.
Thy political reputation, HANCOCK, will ever be revered by the Republican citizens of America. You will live, illustrious Spirit, in the hearts of your Countrymen—and while liberty and the Rights of your Country are duly estimated, thy name will be held in grateful remembrance. The proscription of George the Third is a "MAUSOLEUM" to thy memory, which will survive a ponderous monument of marble.
Your Circular Letter of 1785, contains five principles—1st, that the Carrying Trade is important to the United States—2d, that the impositions of Britain are intolerable and grievous—3d, that the balance of trade with Britain is greatly against us—4th, an earnest recommendation to Congress, to place the commerce of America upon a footing of equality with every other nation—5th, that British Factors are ruinous to the commerce of our own citizens.
Upon these several particulars I shall occasionally address you. As some of you were strong advocates for the British Treaty, and as this baneful instrument is now brought forward in our Tory papers as the test of Federalism, I now call upon you candidly to answer the following questions. As truth, and a fair statement of the subject before the public, are my sole objects, if you are right, and I am wrong, I will readily make an acknowledgement of my error.
If the Carrying Trade is important in your minds, does not the British Treaty essentially injure it? Does it not, by extending the Contraband Articles, annihilate a large portion of this branch of Commerce? Does it not, by depriving us of our freighting business in the East-Indies (which we enjoyed before the Treaty without any obstruction) greatly lessen this profitable part of our trade? Does not the subjecting our vessels to be searched by the British, and their being liable to be bent into their ports upon bare suspicion, embarrass us in almost all our foreign mercantile connections? Does not the admitting provisions to become a contraband article essentially destroy that valuable part of our exports, and expose the produce of America to the rapacity of British imposition, under the sanction of ministerial orders?
In short, Gentlemen, if you are now in favor of the British Treaty, you cannot hold the same sentiments you did in 1785. To be consistent with your Circular Letter, you cannot now say, that the Carrying Trade is of the utmost importance to this country—if you are in favor of the Treaty, you must
be obliged to change your language, and say, that the Carrying Trade, instead of being of the "utmost importance," is but of little consequence to our Commerce. If British impositions were then tho' grievous, surely the wanton captures and arbitrary decisions on our vessels since the Treaty, must convince you, that Britain has not relaxed in her severities, since the adoption of it.—What boon have you obtained, gentlemen, by the Treaty? Some of you came forward in the Old South as the champions of our national honor; the astonished multitude clapped with utmost vehemence your enthusiastic speeches; the ignorant satellites within your influence, fancied they had got their depredation money in their pockets, the moment the obliging Moderator declared the vote in favor of the Treaty appropriations. The individuals who had resolution enough to oppose the measure, were sneered at through the streets, and even derided by a clan of miserable wretches, whose folly led them to fancy that Pitt had all the money counted out in the Exchequer, as soon as Mr. Gore should appear in England to receive it. They strutted from the "Old South" with a degree of superlative arrogance, and thought, after Lawyer Otis had abused Mr. Gallatin, that they had secured their whole demand on Britain for illegal captures. They fancied that such an orator would terrify the whole British government, and his pretty speech would either sooth or intimidate the nation to cancel our claims. They even thought that if our resentment was roused against Mr. Gallatin for not having "a second shirt," that the commiseration of Pitt would be excited to bestow on the claimants a large proportion of his wardrobe. The town-meeting of that day is an epoch in the American annals, and we cannot but pity the ignorance of those who retired to dinner, under the full assurance that the Speech of Mr. Otis would force the British nation to grant us the utmost extent of our demands. But the opposers of the Treaty knew at that time, we should have occasion to repent of our folly, and they now have occasion to think their predictions have been verified. The predictions of lawyer Otis and the integrity of Mr. Pitt were "one and indivisible."
To return, gentlemen, if you approve of the British Treaty, you must disapprove of your former conduct; for the instrument agreed to by Mr. Jay destroys every principle on which you predicted your Circular Letter in 1785. At that time you were alarmed at the arrival of a few British Factors and Agents; you represented them as "destructive and ruinous to the American commerce," as having a "tendency to monopolize our whole Trade." But the Treaty admits such persons to greater privileges than at the period you were opposed to them—and yet, supposing it as it may seem, you become bolder against them at that time, and now with the most submissive complacency accede to their admission.
This reverse of conduct requires some explanation. I would ask you, gentlemen, why the Carrying Trade was not in the year 1795, (when the Treaty was adopted) equally important as in 1785, when you wrote your Circular Letter? Did not some of you flatter the tradesmen, that upon the ratification of the Treaty the Carrying Trade would be extended? But since the Treaty has been ratified, has not this important branch of commerce become subject to innumerable restrictions? If the decisions in British Courts of Admiralty are the supreme law of the land, will not the navigation of the United States in a few years fall a sacrifice to British policy? Will not our harbors and wharves, instead of being filled with American ships, freighted on our own accounts, be thronged with British manufactures, consigned to English agents & Scotch factors, residing in our sea-ports for this purpose. A Scotchman will e'er long be the principal vender of British commodities.
The next article, Gentlemen, in your Letter is, that the British Trade is against us. If this was the case in 1785, why not in 1801? If it was against us at that period, is it not more against us since we have submitted to the Treaty? As by it, we allow greater privileges to the British than we did before—we rather encourage British subjects to carry on this pernicious trade—we give them a right to purchase stores, wharves, warehouses, &c. without limitation of time, and to pursue their business to the injury of every young American.
Some of you, Gentlemen, may possibly think, that you are now beyond the destructive influence of these British residents and itinerants—no doubt some of you are, by having your property in the Banks or Funds. But reflect, Sirs, how many Young Men, now comfortably situated in business, and whose Wives and Children will depend on their industry, must feel the effects of a Treaty, which gives residence to a body of Aliens, to prosecute business in every part of the United States to the injury of our own citizens. In a few years, this will be experienced, and the Young Men will have reason to rue the day that they attended to the artful designs of a British Faction, who pretend to rule and influence the Commerce of the United States. For, be it remembered, that some men are in favor of the Treaty, who considered the residence of British and Scotch Fac-
tors, as destructive to the American Trade, in 1785, when they were in the Old South. If British Trade, but have strangely altered their sentiments in 1801, and for no other apparent cause, than having placed the principal part of their property in the Banks & Funds, or turned their business into another channel. On these things let our Young Men think and reflect accordingly.
During the reign of Terror, the author of these Numbers experienced a four-fold vengeance of his opponents. He scorns to retaliate in scurrility, but he is determined to pursue a course of enquiry, to prove the propriety of his conduct.—His enemies rose triumphant and insolent by their falsehoods, but Truth shall eventually place them in their original deformity.
OLD-SOUTH.
From the AURORA.
THE Philadelphia Gazette tells its readers that the sending of the Treaty to France, cost 20,000 dollars, suggests that by the time it is brought back it may cost 40,000, every farthing of which might have been saved if the same mode of proceeding had been pursued as in the case of the infamous British Treaty.—When will the incorrigible ignorance and stupidity of these people be cured? Why do they not tell us that the 20,000 dollars have been expended—or how it is to be increased to 40,000; or at what time the enormous sums expended on the conveyance of the British Treaty were refunded. We have never heard, that Mr. Jay gave up his salary as Chief Justice, or Ambassador, we have always understood that he received the salaries for both! If it is not so, let us be told when the salary of the one or the other office was refunded. As to Mr. Dawson's salary it could not have exceeded that of an Envoy at most—(we suspect it did not amount to one half) and that at the utmost, could not amount to ten thousand dollars for a year. Mr. Dawson's mission did not extend to four months. As to the mean expressions of needy Frenchmen or Frenchified Americans, who are supposed to bring back the Instrument, the style of the expressions is suitable to the party with which it originated, which at all times was composed of all the swindlers, needy adventurers, bankrupts in character and fortune, gamblers, and scamps which infested the country: Needy adventurers of every kind took refuge under the standard of John Adams, every man whose moral character was lost, or whose finances were exhausted at the Billiard Table or the Brothel, or in speculating upon the honest part of the community, rallied there—Discounts were open to them at the public Bank—and they were suffered to speculate upon the public property, while the public were taxed directly and indirectly; directly upon their property, and indirectly upon the discounts given to men whose speculations were carried on without judgment or regard to their engagements. We trust that Congress will demand from the Banks an account of the monies due or which have been declared bad debts for the last six years, then we shall have a clue to many transactions in this city and elsewhere—then we shall see what Federalism was made off—then we shall see the native principle of riots, disorders and outrages in this city—we shall then see the moving principle of Macpherson's Mamelukes, and the hot water war.
From the NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
PERSONS in Europe who read the newspapers published in our seaport cities, would conceive, by their style, that a violence of party exists, threatening a convulsive explosion destructive of our Constitution and government. But they should consider that idle persons pen these inflammatory paragraphs, which the editors admit to promote the circulation of their papers, when European intelligence is wanting. Facts, however, evince the tranquility, prosperity and security of the United States.
Elections for President have taken place without even a bloody nose on any side, and create no more disturbance than a change of ministry in the European Governments. Where is the predicted anarchy on Mr. Jefferson's election? His government is respected abroad—abundant crops display the beneficence of Providence—the funds are higher than at any period of the late administration—and lands rise in value.—If the Federalists, as they were termed, form the most wealthy class of the community, why are they erecting stone and brick houses on their estates, and large barns, &c. Why do they purchase more and more stock? If Europeans are alarmed, why has the emigration to this country exceeded this year that of any preceding the last ten years? Let any one visit our seaports, and he will behold increasing ship-building and commerce of every kind. Let him travel over the interior of our country and he will be astonished at the spirit of industry in cultivating the fields, in building houses, and in erecting mills, &c.—and he will perceive that every one is compelled to obey the laws by the power of the people.

Census of the United States
By a calculation from the late ... House of Representatives shall be apportioned according to the present ratio (one Representative to every 33,000 inhabitants) there will be 133 Representatives in the next Congress, beside those from Tennessee, whose return is not yet received, and from the Territory N. W. of the Ohio; both of which districts were not included in the census of 1790. The House of Representatives now consists of 105 members exclusive of the Representatives from Tennessee.—The advance in the number of Representatives will be about 27 per cent.
The States that will acquire a proportional increase of Representatives are Vermont, New-York, Pennsylvania, South-Carolina, Georgia and Kentucky.
Those which will sustain a proportional decrease of Representatives, are New-Hampshire, Rhode-Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New-Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina.
Number of Representatives, North and South of the Potomac.
According to the last Census, the number of Representatives were north of the Potomac 66
South of Potomac 39
Majority North of Potomac 27
By the present Census, there will be North of Potomac 81
South of Potomac 52
Majority North of Potomac 29
This majority will probably be reduced to 25 by the additional Representatives of Tennessee and the district North of the Ohio.
Had the whole number of Representatives on each side of the Potomac advanced according to their previous proportion, there would have been on the North side of the Potomac 83
South of Potomac 50
Making a Majority of 33
The difference between 25, the majority under the new Census, and 33, the majority which would have existed had the population north of the Potomac kept pace with that south of it, constitutes the gain of Representatives by states south of the Potomac, viz. 8 representatives.
Relative Strength of the New England States.
The four States of New-Hampshire, Rhode-Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, commonly called the New-England States, had by the census of 1790, 27 Representatives; by that of 1800 they will have 31 Representatives. Had the number of their Representatives kept pace with the aggregate number of all the States, they would be entitled to 34 Representatives.—They have therefore lost 4 Representatives.
Political Effects.
After this view of the local influence of the new Census, it may not be unimportant to exhibit its probable political effects.
The subjoining table will show the strength of parties in the next House of Representatives, and that under the new Census, taking the existing state of the public mind as the criterion; whereas every recent political event announces still greater changes in favor of the Republican interest.

...the ship given to me by the owner of the privateers who captured her, and when I was on the point of sailing for America, I was arrested and cast into a wretched prison by Patrick Mullony, Vice Consul of the United States at that place, who set gun-boats to guard the ship; and after keeping me a prisoner for the space of seventy-seven days, without alleging any thing to my charge, and withholding from me the means of subsistence, which I in vain repeatedly applied for; he then verbally released me, and told me to take my ship, and go when I pleased, and where I pleased; and when he was asked the cause of such proceedings, his answer was, he had acted by instructions from the United States; but his refusing to show them, induces me to doubt the truth of his assertion. "I should no doubt have suffered greatly in prison but for the hospitality of Don Espenola, interpreter for the Royal Navy at Algeziras, who furnished me gratis from his own table, with something to subsist on during the term of my imprisonment."

Mr. Jefferson has been but a short time in office, yet it will be found he has rendered more real good in this short time, than his predecessor did during the whole of his administration. Fred.

WILLIAM POWEL. NEW-YORK, September 29. The following copied from a Paris paper, are said to be the leading articles of the Treaty of Peace lately concluded with Portugal. By the first article Portugal cedes to Spain all the country this side of the river Guadiana, and this river for the future is to be the limits of the two kingdoms. 2. Portugal obliges herself to indemnify Spain for all the expences incurred since the declaration of war. 3. All the fortifications and strong places which the Spaniards have taken other than those ceded, shall be demolished; that is, all those that are beyond the limits. 4. Portugal shall pay to France four millions of dollars, as an indemnification for her expences. 5. She cedes to France an establishment in the Brazils. 6. The fleet of Portugal shall be placed at the disposition of Spain and France, who make use of it in the projected expedition. 7. All the ports of Portugal shall be guarded under a general peace with England, and at the expence of Portugal, by 20,000 Spaniards and 10,000 French. We do not know whether there are any secret articles or not.
SALEM Oct. 5. THE FRIENDLY BRITISH! Mr. FRANCIS STEVENS, of Marblehead, late Chief Mate of the ship Industry, of Norfolk, Capt. Vickery, had been impressed on board an English man of war, and after repeated solicitations to the commander, he was released, on furnishing in his room, three English Sailors, at 20 guineas per head—amounting to the moderate sum of SIXTY guineas!—There is no doubt but some "tory" Editor will justify or palliate this conduct. However "contemptible" they may affect to treat the epithet, they all feel that by their deeds they merit it.
Mr. JEFFERSON is probably the greatest living master of style in the English language; witness his Declaration of Independence, his Notes on Virginia, his official correspondence with Hammond and Genet, his Reports as Secretary of State, his Letters to Governor Henry on the story of Logan, his Inauguration Speech, and other political and literary performances, all which are recommended to the perusal of the learners of style and the lovers of sentiment. [Sun.]
The forces which the French have now in Italy, is said to exceed one hundred and twenty thousand men. The additional allowance, to the Prince of Wales (says a late London paper) is £8000 per annum, but it is not given to him. When his debts are paid off, which will be in about 5 years, this 8000. per annum then amounting to 40,000. will be deducted from his income, so that it is only money lent. His income, before this allowance, was 68,000. per ann. of which 22,000. is appropriated for the use of the Princess of Wales. His own income, therefore, with the additional 8000. lent, is 36,000.
ELEGANT EXTRACT. A Delightful serenity attends that state of holiness, which arises from an humble confidence in God; such as would render it devoutly to be wished for, if its consequences extended only to the pleasurable enjoyment of this life. It causes our journey to resemble a passage thro' those charming countries, where the air is genially soft, the sky clear, and the prospect variegated with every beauty of nature. The cold, shivering, self-dependent mortal, who walks through the world all solitary, who has not God for his friend and companion, may be compared to the forlorn savage, prowling for prey far from the solar beam, in the regions near the pole. How would he rejoice in the warm sunshine and sweet serenity of an Italian climate? [V. Knox.]

NEW-BEDFORD, Oct. 2. THE SICKNESS. Much alarm having been excited respecting the prevalence of a malignant Fever in this village, the subscribers inhabitants thereof, think proper to give the following account of its progress and present state, the accuracy of which may be relied upon: From the 1st of the 9th mo. (previous to which time it had been remarkably healthy) up to this day, 10th mo. 1. [at 6 P. M.] there have been but ten deaths in this village, of all disorders; and one of a young man who belonged here and was taken sick at his father's 7 miles distant, where he was on a visit—Making in the whole, eleven deaths, seven of which were of the Fever. The following is a list of the deceased, with the time of their death, the disorder, and their ages: 9th Mo. 6.—A child of Job Allen's, aged 10 months—Teething. 7th, A son of Henry Beetle's, aged about 7 years—the Fever. 8th, widow Marcy Burrill, aged 70—With a consumption, attended with considerable fever at the time of her death.—Severance Enlier, aged about 16—the Fever. 9th, A daughter of Joseph Ayers, aged about 3—Diseased doubtful. 10th, A son of Abraham Hicko, aged about 6—the Fever. 11th, (out of town,) Daniel Taber, son of Joshua Taber, aged 17, and Thomas Shearman, aged 20—the Fever. 21st, Richard Beetle, aged 22—the Fever. 23th, A child of Caleb Jenne's, about 3 years old—Consumption. — Besides which, seven persons have been sick with the Fever, and have recovered; and two now remain sick.—There have been no new cases for a week past.—The inhabitants have very generally remained at their homes, and the village excepting as above, we believe is as healthy as usual.—This statement is given on the authority of the attending physicians, whose names are also hereunto annexed.

THE SHIP PRESIDENT,
NEWPORT, Saturday, October 10, 1801. On Wednesday last, arrived in this town from his seat in Massachusetts, Gen. DEARBORN, Secretary of War, with his family; and on Thursday morning, took passage for New-York, on their way to the city of Washington.
A gentleman of observation and respectability, who has lately travelled through Vermont and New-Hampshire, assures us that REPUBLICANISM is rapidly gaining ground in those two states. As the diffusion of true political information is accelerated or retarded, in particular districts, by local or incidental causes, the progress of republican politics is unequal in different states and parts of states; but "great is TRUTH and it will prevail."
On Sunday morning the 20th ult. a decent looking man, who appeared to be about five and forty years of age, was found lying under the walls of the capitol in the city of Washington, with his throat cut in a horrid manner, and lifeless. A jury of inquest was called, who were unanimously of opinion that he had put an end to his own existence. From the testimony of several witnesses, it appeared that he was a stranger who had made his appearance at Washington about three weeks since—that he had resided in Albany, in the city of New-York, and Philadelphia, and that his name was William Houle, which name was marked at full length on his pocket-handkerchief.
From the FEDERAL SPY. Messrs. Printers, In your paper of the 15th inst. I observed the following paragraph: "The President of the United States has ordered a removal of the arms from Springfield to the Southward. Who were more active in the defence of our country than the plain men of New-England? and are they to be disarmed?"
As this information appears to me calculated to excite the passions & give unnecessary alarm to the well disposed people of New-England, I think it my duty publicly to state, that it is a fabrication without the least shadow of truth. Since the election of Mr. Jefferson, I have not received an order to send away a single musket.
JOSEPH WILLIAMS, Military Store-keeper at Springfield, Mass.
Sept. 22. Upon the upright conduct and political deportment of Mr. Jefferson, we have placed our hopes and most unlimited confidence—we have entrusted to his care our dearest privileges; we have appointed him the guardian of our liberty and happiness. To behold him therefore, pursuing a course which will reflect honor on himself and his country, en-
of this port, Andrew Pinkham, master, arrived here since our last, from Algeziras was captured on her voyage out, from New-York to Gibraltar, by the Spanish, and carried into Algeziras where vessel and cargo were condemned, but the vessel afterwards given up.—We formerly mentioned the imprisonment of Capt. Pinkham, by the American Consul, and are now furnished with the following statement of that mysterious transaction, contained in an extract of a letter from Capt. Pinkham: "After being captured by the Spanish privateers, & condemned by the tribunal at Algeziras, and the ship given to me by the owner of the privateers who captured her, and when I was on the point of sailing for America, I was arrested and cast into a wretched prison by Patrick Mullony, Vice Consul of the United States at that place, who set gun-boats to guard the ship; and after keeping me a prisoner for the space of seventy-seven days, without alleging any thing to my charge, and withholding from me the means of subsistence, which I in vain repeatedly applied for; he then verbally released me, and told me to take my ship, and go when I pleased, and where I pleased; and when he was asked the cause of such proceedings, his answer was, he had acted by instructions from the United States; but his refusing to show them, induces me to doubt the truth of his assertion. "I should no doubt have suffered greatly in prison but for the hospitality of Don Espenola, interpreter for the Royal Navy at Algeziras, who furnished me gratis from his own table, with something to subsist on during the term of my imprisonment."

From a late ENGLISH MAGAZINE.
The following STANZAS, recently written by that celebrated genius and traveller, Governor HENRY ELLIS, on seeing an infirm old man treated by a young rabble with indecent mockery in the streets of Pisa in Italy, (a country where every inanimate vestige of antiquity is viewed with so much veneration) have been translated abroad into French and Italian, and are well worthy of being preserved.
THE mould'ring tower, the antique bust, The ruin'd temple's sacred dust, Are view'd with rev'rence and delight; But man decay'd, and sunk with years, And sad infirmities, appears An object of neglect and slight!
Ah, thoughtless race! in youthful prime You mock the ravages of time, As if you could elude its rage! That piteous form which you despise, With wrinkled front and beamless eyes, That form, alas! you'll take with age.
Some vital sparks, that ev'ry day Time's rapid pinion sweeps away, Prepare you for that hapless state, When left and slighted in your turn, Your former levities you'll mourn, And own the justice of your fate.
Of Mr. JEFFERSON.
The President is too good to persecute his enemies, too great to insult an unsuccessful rival; and too generous to forget the services of men whose talents and resolution have eminently assisted in establishing the independence of America. Fixed in his purpose, he is sure of the support of honest and enlightened men; and is satisfied in knowing that his opponents generally speaking, are the enemies of public liberty. [Wil. Mirrir.
Our beloved Jefferson, like the oak of our forests, stands unmoved & uninjured by the blasts of an envious and noxious wind, and as our oak is nourished by a generous soil, and lifts its proud head over all the other trees, so shall our Jefferson live in the hearts of his countrymen triumphant over the little arts of detraction and falsehood—And when approving Heaven shall call him hence, his name and his fame, shall still resound far and wide among the nations of the earth, while his enemies, (who are the enemies of mankind) will sink into oblivion, unknown & unregretted. Salem Reg.
The following humorous account of a fracas between two natives of Africa, is from the Washington Federalist.
DUEL.
On Friday evening a duel was fought here between two of the Natives of Africa, of fable hue and of high pretensions to honor. The battle commenced about 8 o'clock. Dinah was armed with a cow skin, while Cloe had nothing but the ample weapons of nature, length of nails, and hardness of knuckles. Jupiter sent Mercury Tom to hold a flambeau while the Gods, as usual in such engagements, were ranged a part on one side and a part on the other. Victory now is perched on the cow-skin, & now on the knuckle, ready, like many a good patriot to declare for the conquering party. At one time Dinah bit the dust, at another Cloe hugged the earth. The sanguinary rills began to flow copiously from lacerated cheeks and disfigured noses. The cow-skin breaks and is useless. The battle becomes wholly pugilacur;—while thump succeeds to thump, & heavy blows to heavy blows respond. And now dreadful deeds had ensued and uproar wild, had not a reverend figure advanced to the scene,
deus dignus vindice modus, with venerable grey wool and white teeth, whose presence caused an immediate cessation of hostilities, and whose peaceful words awed & silenced the else mortal encounter. "Now Dinah and Cloe," he cried, "an't it a shame for two of the Fair Sex to be boxing on't so?"
We understand some affair of honor was the unhappy cause of this duel.
ANECDOTES.
IN a debate in the British Parliament on the 11th of June last, an Irish member, Mr. Martin of Galway, said, "if he found his vessel in danger of being lost, he would not fail to throw one half of the cargo overboard, for the purpose of saving the whole,"—a loud laugh rising in the house, he corrected himself, by saying, "he meant, that the whole had only been sacrificed to save a part."
AS two Africans in an evening's walk happened to stroll over a burying ground, one unfortunately barked his shins across a grave stone, and in agony exclaimed. "Who de dibel turn dis stone up so edgemays." Whist! whist! Tom, says the other, dead folks live here.
