Poetry.
RUINED MARY.
THE shrill gust whistles o'er the plain, The herds their evening shelter seek; And fast descends the pattering rain, That beats on Mary's pallid cheek. Poor Girl! she wanders 'mid the storm, Nor knows her path is wet and dreary For reason fled her lovely form, When love betray'd poor Ruin'd Mary. Her dim eye scarce the path discerns; Her tattered vestments mock the blast Her wounded heart with madness burns, And to the cliff the wanderers fast. Yet I remember well the day, When she was like the rambling fairy; Among the gayest she was gay, Till love betray'd poor Ruin'd Mary. 'Twas in yon vine surrounded grove, A lover won her virgin heart; 'Twas in yon fragrant sweet alcove, She first confess'd Love's trait'rous smart, 'Twas there the voice of art beguill'd A heart that knew not to be wary— Seduction's fiends successful smil'd, And triumph'd over ruin'd Mary. Now sad and mournful pass her days, For innocence has fled her breast: And wild she sings her artless lays, When darkness lulls the swains to rest. High on a jutting cliff she stands, Like some desponding, wand'ring fairy: In robes of white, with folded hands, And breathes a prayer for Ruin'd Mary.
Political.
The following article is extracted from a late Virginia Gazette, as containing matter of considerable interest. Mr. PRENTISS, who now conducts the political department of that paper, has the means of obtaining the most correct knowledge of political men and measures in Virginia; and appears desirous that his fellow citizens should be made acquainted with the information he has been enabled to obtain.
Post Boy. "We believe there are in Virginia a few individuals who have long been determined to sway the nation. The principles of federalism were opposed to them. Every unjust measure was taken to destroy those principles, by enlisting against the federal administration, all the office-seekers, in the union, who used all unwarrantable arguments, and dishonorable and dishonest means, to destroy it. They succeeded. One monument of federal wisdom was knocked away after another. They began to quarrel with one another for the loaves and fishes. The honest among them began to see, that the public good was not the leading object of leading characters. The leading Virginia demagogues found the most important provisions of the constitution opposed to their views; and the honest among the democrats began to discover what those views were. Some of the northern democrats principally, nearly two years since, commenced a gradual opposition to those views. During the last session of congress, the violent leaders were several times opposed by moderate constitutional republicans. At the close of the session, the violent ones came out in full; and we shall see the next session what will be their success. The conduct of these violent men is seen and daily noticed by very many of the democrats in this state. Some of the members of congress are warmly opposed to it. The democrats in this state are most cordially disunited; and the best of them united with the federalists, will probably ere long be a majority of the state. It is not of consequence whether or not the mere name of federalism be observed: new distinctions of names are continually arising every few hours, in a government like ours. Nor is it of consequence whether or not men, who are now called federal, be ever again in office, if others of equal talents are found among those who call themselves republicans. Indeed if there had not been a single federalist in congress these two years past, we are not certain that the interests of federal republicanism would have been benefited. It is true that there is now but one federal member of congress, from this state; yet it is not because the principles of federalism are only in the proportion of 1 to 22. No exertions of consequence were made by the fed-
eralists, except in one district. However, there is certainly in the state a vast proportion of her best and ablest citizens who are and ever have been federal. And we have but little doubt but that in a short time the evil of democracy will be destroyed in the state. Its rage is past in a great degree in the southern states; men begin to think. The rage of democracy in Massachusetts is in truth nothing but the love of office; politics is only a pretence; a tool with which to work; and hence we said, what we really believe, that if federal principles continue predominant in Massachusetts, Virginia will soon be with them; and this opinion is entertained by many here who have been democratical."
[The following letters from Mr. Elliot first appeared in the Aurora. The Editor has not informed us how these private and confidential letters came into his possession, nor for what purpose he has published them to the world. As they throw some additional light on the characters and designs of certain men, who are unfriendly to the invaluable constitution of our country, we think it proper to give them a place in our paper.]
COPIES OF LETTERS, FROM JAMES ELLIOT. (No. 1.)
Washington, January 23, 1804. SIR—Your letter is received. As I am always willing to receive good advice, your observations on my style of speaking are not unacceptable; but in my political conduct I must be dictated by my conscience alone. I have no idea that my constituents with to be represented by a humble slave of the proud, passionate, and aristocratic Mr. Randolph, or a fellow laborer of those whose labors tend to disorganize the constitution, and place the small states at the feet of the large ones, and both large and small at the feet of Virginia. On this subject I believe there is great union of sentiments among the Vermont delegation, both senators and representatives, at any rate, I believe I know the sentiments and feelings of all but Judge Olin. I wish this communicated to those, who accuse me of "straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel." If there be any base enough to accuse me of "a dereliction of principle, and a tempering policy for the sake of popularity," I ought in justice to myself to offer them nothing but the homage of my high contempt. But I have the "vanity" to add the remark that every action in my life contradicts the unmanly insinuation. Besides let me enquire what popularity I had in view, it was supposed in opposing a measure almost universally popular. But I cannot think any respectable man can accuse me of political dishonesty. Your correspondence will at all times be agreeable, and believe me. Sir, very respectfully, Your most obedient servant, JAMES ELLIOT.
(No. 2.) Washington, Feb. 13, 1804.
DEAR SIR—Yours of the 3d inst. is received. On the subject of the American "Chancellor of Exchequer" the peculiar favorite of the president and heads of department, and ostensible leader of the republicans in congress you shall have ample satisfaction. It is now almost the unanimous voice of the northern republicans that Virginia and Mr. Randolph are attempting to rule the house of representatives and the nation by violence. On the subject of the extinguishment of the state balances, every member from New-England, judge Olin excepted, unite in opposition to the measure. On most questions, the northern representatives, republicans and federalists, vote together. Judge Olin with us frequently, in opposition to the salary bill for instance. The consequence of this schism among republicans is that measures are frequently carried against the prime minister by small majorities, on all which occasions and many others, he abuses the speaker and the house in a most infamous manner. In many of his speeches he tells the house that their proceedings are disorderly. The other day he told the house they were under the influence of Mr. Griswold, and used much indecent language with respect to a coalition between Mr. Griswold and Mr. Lyon, whom he represented as the leader of the party opposed to himself. A personal encounter of a most serious nature has taken place between Mr. R. and Alston, which will probably end in a duel; there must also be a duel between him and Mr. Hampton, whom he abused in debate. Mr. R. is fa-
mous in that way, and it is said performed deeds of fatal prowess before he came to congress. Anonymous letters, replete with invective and threats, are delivered to some of the republican members. I have received one in a style of an assassin; and it is evidently in the hand writing of Mr. R. very awkwardly disguised. I every day publicly declare it to be his production, and have demanded of him an explanation, which if he does not give, I shall make a statement of the business to the house, and perhaps move his expulsion. I am in fear of—I dear not say what—you will hear more soon.
Virginia is undoubtedly purely republican. My God! What republicanism! Nearly one half the people in a state of mental and four fifths of the remainder in civil slavery! One man in four or five and elector. My blood chills—I tremble for my country! I know yes know that deep laid plans exist against the constitution of the Union.
I care not how extensively this information is diffused, if it is kept out of the newspapers. We have sixty or seventy orders of the day, and scarcely a question is taken without several days debate. If the session be not made permanent, it will not be that business is wanting.
Your sincere friend, JAMES ELLIOT.
(No. 3.) Washington Feb. 15, 1805.
DEAR SIR.—Messrs. Randolph and Alston have been arrested and bound to keep the peace within this district, the injury Mr. Alston received, was however of so atrocious a nature that that there must be a duel . Mr. Hampton, averse to disturbing the councils of the nation, will it is said suspend his challenge till the end of the session. The difficulty between Mr. Randolph and myself has been accommodated by the intervention of Messrs. Bryan and Nicholson, Mr. R. having denied any knowledge of the letter in question. Yours, JAMES ELLIOT.
(No. 4.) Washington Feb. 27, 1804.
SIR.—I enclose you a set of revolutionary resolutions by Mr. R. the great inquisitor and censor, and not only of the judicial department but of the state governments. In the opinion of many republicans, they tend to the destruction of state sovereignities.
The great principle involved in these resolutions, has already been decided against Mr. R. by 62 votes to 56. But he is too good a republican to submit to a majority. Only one member from New-England votes with him on that question. Yours, JAMES ELLIOT.
P. S. These resolutions involve an open violation of the plighted faith of the nation; by the convention between the U. States and Georgia, by which we became possessed of the Mississippi territory. The U. States are pledged to appropriate five millions of acres to satisfy the very claims which Mr. R. says we must resolve not to satisfy.
(No. 5.) Washington, March 9, 1805.
SIR—The bill for satisfying the Georgia claims, has passed in committee of the whole by a majority of eleven, and the subject of this revolutionary resolution was rejected in the same committee by the same majority. The resolutions are still before the house, but I shall this day move their postponement or total rejection. Mr. R. is more furious than ever, and has poured the full vial of his wrath upon Col. Lyon and myself, he called us "the Bear of the arctic and Lion of the torrid zone." He threatens to resign the dictatorship. Several alterations which to my knowledge have been projected in the constitution, calculated to destroy the remaining weight of the small states will now be kept back for a season.
From present appearances I shall not vote for the impeachment of Judge Chase, but we have not all the testimony. I am a friend to the independence of the judges, but a greater friend to the rights of the people. Yours, JAMES ELLIOT.
(No. 6.) Washington, March 12, 1805.
SIR—The revolutionary resolutions have been postponed to the next session, except the first and second which were abstract

propositions. Col. Lyon created much admiration by a very able speech against the resolutions.
Yours, JAMES ELLIOT.
Mr. —,
(No. 7.)
Washington, March 4, 1805.
SIR—I imagine that the republicans in your quarter will not find much fault with my speech in favor of the impeachment of Judge Chase. I shall be obliged however to vote in the negative ultimately as the question will be taken upon several articles to all of which but one—I am opposed.
If I have sometimes "failed in arrangements," it may be imputed to this, that contrary to the practice of all other speakers, I always trust for manner as well as matter, to my extemporaneous powers; I have never used a single note, or committed to paper a single word of my speeches before delivery.
Yours, JAMES ELLIOT.
Mr. —,
From the Frederick-town Herald
"The story (relative to Mrs. Walker) will never lose Mr. Jefferson a friend or a vote."—Cheetham's paper.
And so we verily believe, that so we have generally said. It is true we did not expect such a "precious confession" from the party would be yet publicly made; but we give full credence to them here, who have found but very few occasions to trust their word in any thing. The extract only amounts to what we have before insisted on, that Mr. Jefferson's supporters are determined to be his supporters "through thick and through thin," let what may be proved against him, and let him do what he will. For, we should have been somewhat obliged to the writer if he had gone on to tell, subit it is that could "lose Mr. Jefferson a friend or a vote."—what vice, what folly or what crime, not already perpetrated or attempted, could impair the popularity, or take from the devotion of his adherents.
To have attempted the wife of his friend, it seems, "will never lose Mr. Jefferson a friend or a vote."
To have conspired against the honor of Washington, and employed the infamous slander of his name, affecting all the while a zealous attachment and then shedding the crocodile tear over his tomb—all this will never lose Mr. Jefferson a friend or a vote."
To have endeavored to cheat his benefactor, the venerable Gabriel Jones in such a matter as £50, will never lose Mr. Jefferson a friend or a vote.
To have falsified promises voluntarily proclaimed in the face of the world, and instead of a messenger of peace to become the demon of desolation, sparing neither age, service or character,—"will never lose Mr. Jefferson a friend or a vote."
To stand convicted of the most palpable incapacity, the most disgraceful inconsistencies and self contradiction in writings under his own name, and to be detected in "every dirty trick for which popular parasites were formed," will never lose Mr. Jefferson a friend or a vote."
To have been the base reviler of men in every respect his superior, to have decked forth a fraudulent fame in laurels not his own, to have long wantonly calumniated and now as indecently arrive to build himself a reputation out of their merit whom he had been trying to rob of all character—"will never lose Mr. Jefferson a friend or a vote."
To have lent himself a willing instrument of a mischievous contriver, of the violation of that constitution whose entirety he was sworn to maintain; and to have been accessory to the degradation of his country by the destruction of her best establishments and a pursuit of the most ignominious policy—"will never lose Mr. Jefferson a friend or a vote."
To have openly scoffed at our Holy Religion, profaned its solemnities and trampled its hallowed precepts under foot,—"will never lose Mr. Jefferson a friend or a vote."
But though such things may "never lose Mr. Jefferson a friend or a vote," we are inclined to think they may have gained or secured him many. With the designing and the vicious, these achievements serve to give him a twofold recommendation:—They prove him eminently suited to their purposes, because they prove him insensible to all the restraints and considerations of duty. They present him highly agreeable to their taste, because he becomes a mirror in which such men see and admire their own qualities, or qualities like their own, had they his power and place of exhibiting them. If "like rejoice in like" (smiles gaudet similes) or as the common phrase is—"Birds of a feather—flock together"—then we may very well understand, why with that description of democrats, of whom we are speaking, the establishment of any even the most atro-
cious guilt in the conduct of Mr. Jefferson, should tend less to lose him than increase his influence. With the heedless multitude, who "never look further forward than their nose," the case may perhaps be somewhat different in form, though not materially so in effect. "They are told that" Jefferson "is on their side, and they are therefore sure" Jefferson is right. They feel the pride of power, they know not why, and they care not to enquire. Their own consequence they are taught is concerned in the glory of the chief, and they will not for the most part attend to what may disparage that glory. When facts are so disclosed that stupidity itself must understand and incredulity be convinced, some of them may perhaps feel for a moment "the compunctious visitings of nature." But the pernicious sway of their prejudices, and the incantation of mistaken interests will again bind them to their allegiance. The struggle is indeed but that of an infant, and it is ever sure to terminate in the same way. The flame of party passion ascends triumphantly over the glimmerings of rationality and the love of their idol is declared victorious over love of virtue or their sense of justice. Justice and virtue they are ever ready to think can be no longer so, when disregarded or opposed by "the man of the people." The wrongs he has done they will not permit, and when compelled to admit they are resolute in their defence or different to their enormity. So that really by disproving their plea of not guilty we only seem to be driving them to a justification of whatever is vile and wicked, till from their fondness for the offend or they appear to favor the very fashions of his offences,—and would, if they knew how, "go and do likewise."
What sort of a "corollary" the "organ of the public will" would draw from such positions, we cannot conjure. Perhaps there are those, who would draw the authors of such treason on a hurdle to the stake. But as that time has not yet arrived, we may as well proceed with our own inferences, while yet the liberty of expression is left. We infer then that, however useful it may be to strip the vizard of Mr. Jefferson's hypocrisy for the purpose of animating the faithful to keep them so, it is in vain to expect at his advanced period that any number of his followers are to be converted by that most glaring view of his iniquities, could these iniquities be ten times greater than they are. The observation holds true with regard to all the inferior demagogues, and sub-agents of democracy. The times are indeed out of joint. Duncan McFarland is not the only Duncan McFarland, whom the spirit of faction has elevated into office, when his desert would have rather entitled him to elevation by judicial appointment. Not content with the growth of our own soil, we must as it were with a bounty encourage the importation of malefactors "to exchange the pillory or the gallows in Europe for places of trust and profit in America." And whether foreign or exotic, the election of a knave seems then most certain, when you have most fully succeeded in showing him to be a knave, nor does there appear now a days any infallible receipt to make a law giver, than by exposing him as a violator of law human and divine—any more available title to rank and importance than a deed of recorded infamy—or a safer passport through "the doors of honor and confidence" than by the exhibition of abandoned profligacy and outrageous terpidude even at the very threshold.
"Has Honour then suck'd back his Sonnet? He has,—and hooting boys may dryll'd pass, And gather pebbles on the naked ford."
Latest Foreign Intelligence.
Prospect of a co-operation between Great-Britain and Russia.
LONDON, JUNE 20, 1805.
Yesterday his Majesty sent the following message to both Houses of parliament:
GEORGE REX.
His Majesty thinks proper to acquaint the House of Commons, that the communications which have taken place, and are still depending between His Majesty & some of the Powers of the continent, have not yet been brought to such a point as to enable His Majesty to lay the result of them before the House, or to enter into any farther explanation with the French Government, consistently with the sentiments expressed by His Majesty at the opening of the present Session. But his Majesty conceives that it may be of essential importance, that he should have it in his power to avail himself of any favorable conjuncture for giving effect to such a concert with other Powers, as may afford the best means of resisting the inordinate ambition of France, and may be most likely to lead to a termination of the present contest, on grounds consistent with the permanent safety and interests of His Majesty's dominions and the security and independence of Europe. His Majesty therefore recommends it to the house of
Commons to consider of making provision for enabling His Majesty to take such measures, and enter into such engagements, as the exigencies of affairs may require. G.R. This Message was taken up in both Houses.—In the Commons a vote of supply of 3,500,000l. passed to enable his Majesty to take the measures, and make the engagements, it contemplates. [This 3,500,000l. is part of the five millions provided for in the Ways and Means when the budget was opened the last winter. Mr. Pitt has stated, that the grounds on which the sum had been reduced from the five millions, which was before required, to 3 1/2 millions, was not any change of system. He was still clearly convinced that if any efforts at all were to be made for a Continental co-operation, they ought to be on a large scale.—Gentlemen would observe, that when five millions were before proposed, it was at an earlier period, when something might possibly have been done this season. It was not now proposed to reduce the scale by which the operations were to be carried on; but the season was now far advanced, and the sum which was required at present would be fully adequate to the purposes for which it was intended, until Parliament met again.] This vote though debated at full length, passed without division. In the course of the debate, the Ministers declared, that though they had not been able to effect the active co-operation of Russia, and some other powers, in the war against France; they were not without hopes of effecting that co-operation upon the principles of joint-war or joint-peace.—That for this purpose a liberal vote of supply was necessary:—That the burden of the war, heavy as it was, was cheerfully borne by the people, because since the treaty of Amiens, they were convinced of the necessity of the war; which, before the conclusion of that treaty, they were not:—That, notwithstanding the war, the resources of the country were flourishing; that the war-income of the last year was 20,000,000l. sterling; and that the regular payment and sinking of nearly eight millions a year, by the sinking fund, in spite of accumulating difficulties, was the best testimony in favor of public credit.—That Great-Britain had a right, from her resources and strength, to insist on honorable terms of Peace:—That she had a force of 140,000 well disciplined disposable troops (which may be sent out of the empire) of which reinforcements to the amount of 17,000 had recently been sent to distant colonies;—besides 100,000 troops who were stationary, and 400,000 volunteers:—That she had ninety four ships of the line in commission and service;—a force stronger, by eleven ships, than all the French, Spanish, and Dutch ships of the line united;—and that 17 more, of the line, were ready for sea.
On the subject of a co-operation of Russia to bring about an honorable Peace, or to carry on a joint war, the following facts, we think may be relied on, viz.
1. That Russia has not abandoned, as has been reported, the idea of such co-operation. 2. That Russia appeared determined, (with the consent, no doubt, of England) to open a discussion with France on the subject of an honorable pacification. To this end, she has obtained, through the medium of Prussia, passports for M. Novosiltzev, to repair to Paris, who sat out from Petersburg, the 2d June, on his mission. Prussia, it is said, has expressed a desire to act as a mediator, and had been accepted as such.
GALLANT NAVAL ACTION.
LONDON, JUNE 19, 1805.
We have to record one of the most gallant naval enterprizes performed, during this or any other war. The Loire frigate, which arrived on Monday, at Plymouth, cruising on the 4th to the southward of Cape Finisterre, received intelligence that a large privateer, a gun boat her prize, and a smaller privateer, with many sail of shipping, were in the harbor of Muros, a few leagues south of Cape Finisterre. Capt. Maitland immediately carried the Loire into the harbor and immediately manned his boats with 50 seamen and mariners, under command of Mr. Yeo, his First Lieutenant, and another Lieutenant, to attack a fort and battery defended by Spanish troops. The boats landed, covered by the firing of La Loire. Our gallant countrymen immediately advanced to storm the fort—the Spanish troops gave way; but the French kept up a severe fire from 2, pounders, loaded with grape. But nothing could daunt the spirit of our gallant tars;—they took possession of the fort by storm, spiked 16 of the guns and threw them into the sea; sent four boats full of long Spanish 12 pounders on board the Loire, and made the Spaniards themselves bring down great quantities of naval and other stores, chests of tools, sails, powder, and cordage, which were also sent on board the Loire. They captured, besides and brought off a Spanish large gun vessel with one long 32-pounder, and six 24 pound-
aroonades, a large Spanish brig sitting for sea, and La Constance, French privateer, of 26 guns, and 170 men, they burnt another French privateer of 16 guns, being without a rudder, and several other vessels. The town of Muros was not plundered; our tars bringing off only the government stores. The loss of the enemy in killed and wounded was great.—We had one man badly, and a lieutenant and eight seamen, slightly wounded.
Another account of this brilliant achievement, from Cork, which the Loire put into with her prize, states, that "at Muros, which was protected by a fort of 12 guns and a battery of 2, some shipping were observed, and the First Lieutenant of the Loire, Mr. Yeo, was detached in boats with 50 men, in order to attack the fort. This service was so cheerfully undertaken, and so gallantly executed, that in about three quarters of an hour after leaving the ship, Lieut. Yeo had stormed and carried both the fort and battery, killed 30 of the Spaniards, and wounding 12;—the guns he spiked and threw into the water. It was his fortune to be opposed to the Governor, whom he killed with a blow of his hanger. Of any loss which his party might have sustained our account is not circumstantial; none however were killed, but a few were wounded. The efforts of Capt. Maitland were not less effectually directed against the shipping. A brig pierced for twenty guns, which was sitting out, was burnt, and all the small craft, gun-boats, &c, with the exception of one gun-boat, were destroyed. A beautiful coppered ship, pierced for 26 guns; a merchant brig, in ballast and the Esperance gun boat, were brought off, with which the Loire on the 13th arrived in Cove harbour.
[The official accounts of the above splendid affair have been published by order of the Admiralty. The conduct of Lt. Yeo, is represented by Capt. Maitland, of the Loire, to have been as gallant, as was ever exhibited by any man. The Lieutenant, on entering the fort, engaged in personal combat with the Governor, "and at one blow laid him dead at his feet, and broke his own sabre in two:—The other officers and seamen exhibited equal marks of desperate courage. "The instant" says the Lieut. in his account of the attack, "the fort was in our possession, the British seamen seemed to try who could be the first to relieve and assist the poor wounded prisoners, who were lying in numbers, in different parts of the fort; and I had the pleasure to see their humanity amply replaced by the gratitude the unfortunate men's friends expressed, when they came to take them away." Capt. Maitland also adds, "It is but fair, to state, that much to the credit of the ship's company, the Bishop and one of the principal inhabitants of El Munros came off to express their gratitude for the orderly behaviour of the people (there not being one instance of pillage) and to make offer of every refreshment the place affords." Lieut. Yeo has been promoted to a Commander; and with Capt. Maitland, has received the thanks of the city of London, in Common Council assembled.]
Trade between U. States and West Indies. HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 1805.
Lord Holland wished for information whether any orders had been sent to Jamaica for discontinuing the restrictions on the importation of goods from the United States in American bottoms:—or whether the House was to understand, that no orders had been sent to enforce the restriction on the trade between the United States and the West India Islands?
The Duke of Montrose observed, that the state of the law on the subject in question was this:—According to the Navigation Act, there could be no communication between the United States and the British West-India Islands, except in British bottoms.—But a power was given to the Governor of every Island to allow the importation of provisions and other articles in case of necessity. It having appeared, however that some irregularities had arisen in the exercise of this power, and that a too general importation had been permitted, directions were sent out to the Governors not to make too frequent use of the discretion which they possessed. There was no ground for supposing they were prohibited from suspending the restriction; they were only required not to give way to too great facility of importation.
Lord Holland, in reply, said, all he had heard convinced him, that the restrictions had been improperly enforced; and he conceived it would be his duty to move for certain papers respecting that trade.
The Marquis of Buckingham said, the Lt. Gov. of Jamaica had understood his hands to be tied up by the orders transmitted to him from government.
Lord Hawkesbury and Lord Camden applauded the conduct of the Lt. Governor and the conversation terminated.

HAMILTON ROWAN.
Dublin, July 1, 1805
This morning, Mr. Hamilton Rowan appearing in the court of Kings Bench, the clerk of the crown, having read the record of his outlawry, asked him, what he had to say, why judgment of death and execution should not be awarded against him? Mr. Rowan, in reply, plead, that he was in Pennsylvania, when he was outlawed; and that he had been instructed by his counsel that the outlawry was erroneous. — After examining the writ, an error in point of fact was acknowledged, and the outlawry was reversed. An indictment for treason was then read, to which Mr. Rowan pleaded his majesty's most gracious pardon; on which he was discharged. Mr. Rowan having risen from the kneeling position in which he heard the pardon read, thus addressed the court: —
"When last I had the honor of appearing before this Tribunal, (several years ago) I told your Lordships, I knew his Majesty only by his wielding the force of the country; since that period, during my legal incapacity and absence beyond seas, my wife and children have not only been unassailed, but protected; and in addition to those favors, I am now indebted to the Royal mercy for my life. I will neither, my Lords, insist upon the rectitude of my intentions, nor the extent of my gratitude, lest my conduct should be attributed to false and unworthy motives: but I hope my future life will evince the sincerity of my feelings with which I am impressed, by such unmerited proofs of his Majesty's beneficence."
To this address the Chief Justice replied: —
"Mr. Rowan, from the sentiments you have expressed, I have not a doubt but you will prove by your future conduct that his majesty's pardon has not been bestowed on an unworthy object."
Mr. Rowan then bowed to the court and withdrew.

MONDAY AUGUST 19, 1805.
The last accounts from Europe, represent the political views, of the different cabinets, more at variance than ever. The continuance of the war upon a more extensive scale, or the prospect of an approaching peace, is left wholly uncertain.
It appears from the message of the King of England to Parliament that but little reliance can be placed upon a co-operation of Russia against France.
The King of Sweden has uniformly opposed the boundless ambition of Bonaparte, and would long since have taken an active part in the war, had he been supported by Russia.
It appears by a late Prussian state paper, that a treaty has been settled between Great-Britain and Sweden by which the latter agrees to furnish 25,000 troops to be paid by the former — The King of Prussia, has addressed a note to the King of Sweden, stating that he shall oppose the fulfilment of this measure to the utmost.
Of late some disunion has existed in the British cabinet, but it has subsided, by the resignation of Lord Sidmouth, (late Mr. Addington) as President of the Council.
It is expected Mr. Fox, or some of his friends will be admitted into the administration.
Combined Fleet. — This fleet was seen on the 6th of July, in lat. 43 Lon. 22, 30.
The latitude is that of Fries, where there are eleven Spanish ships of the line, and two or three French or Dutch, blockaded by nine British ships of the line. At Coruna, 7 leagues from Ferrol, the Spaniards have five ships of the line.
It is not more extraordinary that the combined fleet have escaped Nelson than, that the several very large British fleets of merchantmen, transports, &c. have escaped the combined fleet.
At Philadelphia scarcely a night passes but what there are two or three burglaries committed or attempted. The same crime is nearly as common at Norfolk.
Mr. Joseph Grice, of Philadelphia, has commenced a suit against Duane, for a libel in his paper.
The Alexandria Exposition asserts, that Mr. Dabben brought on to Washington not less than 24 quivers, of dispatches from our Ministers at Madrid.
Bushrod Washington, Esq. is elected a member of the American Philosophical Society.

Save your Rags!
IT is great pleasure we observe the improvements ma- king in our home manufactures —and which is so evi- dent as to attract the attention of foreigners, as well as natives. It behoves us to foster and encourage them by every means in our power. The paper manufactu- re in particular, the public have the power of con- siderably assisting, by strictly saving all their white rags. This manufacture now fully equals the best Bri- tish in its most superior branches. We wish to ad- dress the patriotism of the Ladies on this subject. Tens of thousands of dollars might be annually saved to their country by buying of Rags , either by person- al attention, or encouraging their domestics to add the profits to their perquisites, as many thousand tons have been and a great many continue to be imported from foreign countries. Even our Rags are formed of an article which is frequently wasted or swept in- to the fire. Let then, no family be without a Rag- Bag ; and Children, at least, may supply themselves with Rags , by filling it with clean Linen & Cotton Rags. Cash or Paper, and the highest price will be given for Rags at the Paper-Mill in Sacarrappa , (Waltham) by PATRIDGE & TOWER.  July 29.

PATENT MEDICINES.
IMPROVED JAUNDICE BITTERS , or the Grand Anti-Bilious Corrective —Prepared by David Doni- son, at his Dispensary, No. 231, Oxford Road , Lon- don. Under the patronage of the first Physicians in Europe and America.
THIS preparation combines all the good qualities of every medicine of the kind ever offered to the public; the botanical characters of the ingredients, of which it is composed, has long attracted the notice of the faculty, and under various formulas unequivocally received the undivided sanction of successful experi- ment.—It is greatly antiphlogistic and particularly effect- ual in correcting and preventing the putridity of bile; it has also been employed with great success, in very dangerous epidemic fevers. It not only cleanses the prima viæ, but likewise gently warms the habit and quickens circulation, is particularly serviceable in hab- itual costiveness, in cases of phlegmatic temperament and sedentary life, when the stomach is oppressed and weakened. This elegant bitter may be successfully ap- plied to answer almost every purpose, particularly in loss of appetite, when the stomach is foul and disorder- ed by irregularities; the secretions are gently prom- oted, and a pleasant perspiration produced; in com- plaints of the jaundice this remedy is unequalled; the stomach is fortified and strengthened, and digestion effectually promoted; such a medicine is useful at all seasons, but particularly in the spring, by removing those sleepy melancholy sensations so unpleasant to the patient; the natural consequences of the approach of warm weather, upon bilious habits.—Price $1. per Box.
WHEATSON'S JAUNDICE BITTERS.
THE successful effects of which have been fully ex- perienced, in correcting and carrying off jaundicy and bilious matter from the stomach; and at the same time strengthening the stomach, increasing the appetite, and removing the sinking, faint, distressed feeling, and the sleepy dull heaviness; restoring also, strength to the weak and trembling limbs; removing the yellow- ness of countenance common to jaundicy and weakly people; and also the dizziness of the head, & weakly sight. They are very useful for fevers to take of- ten when at sea, particularly in warm climates as a preventive against disorders so incident to such cli- mates (which are generally putrid and bilious) by re- moving obstructions, carrying off bile and giving a free circulation to the blood.—Price $1. per box.
WHEATSON'S ITCH OINTMENT.
A safe and efficacious remedy for the ITCH—Price $1. per box.
DEXTER'S RHEUMATIC PILLS,
For the cure of Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Bilious Disorders.

They are also par- ticularly serviceable in removing Bilious and other ob- structions from the Stomach and Bowels—are an ex- cellent Medicine to obviate or check a bilious or yel- low Fever at its commencement, by powerfully ex- pelling bilious, morbid, and putrefact obstructions through the cutaneous pores. They remove windy oppressions and choicy pains in the stomach and bow- els—eruptious from the face and skin—sweeten and purify the blood, and quicken its circulation—pro- duce a sweetness of the breath and a good appetite, by strengthening the digestive faculties.—Many affida- vits might be produced, showing the superior efficacy of the above pills—but, as the character which they have or may acquire is the best criterion by which the public can judge, they are omitted.—Price $1. per box.
