FROM THE PROMPTER.
Popular delusion. —David was one of the most brave and skillful princes that ever held the sceptre of Israel. He came to the throne in a time of great public difficulty, when the nation was harassed by enemies abroad and dissensions at home.—One might think that this able commander who subdued his foes and gave peace to Israel, might have enjoyed the throne in quietness. Yet it was otherwise. He had an ambitious son, who aimed to usurp the government. This was no other than his favorite Absalom. Let us see by what arts he attempted to dethrone his father. In the first place, he prepared chariots, horses and fifty men to run before him. This equipage was useful in attracting public notice, and giving him an air of consequence.
The next step was to place himself in a situation to flatter and cajole the people. Then Absalom rose up early, and stood by the way of the gate, and when any man came to the king for justice, Absalom asked him of what city he was. Being informed, he addressed himself in language which indicated that he felt an interest in the concerns of the people. "See thy matters are good and right, but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee." This is the model of the arts by which designing men court and delude the people. When a man is ambitious, and cannot wait for the people to bestow their favors voluntarily, he assumes the character of their particular friend—pretends to be greatly concerned about their rights and their welfare—throws himself into their way—smiles in their faces, and grasps their hands—enquires about their private affairs—offers them assistance—and especially appears desirous to redress their public grievances—"You are right—your cause is good—but your rulers oppress and defraud you—government neglects you."
When the people are thus flattered into a favorable opinion of a man, he proceeds another step. "And Absalom said, moreover, O that I were made judge in the land, that every man who hath any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice."—Such is the language of the ambitious man, when he is aiming at power. He rails at government, assures the people that if he had the necessary power, he would redress their grievances.
What is the next step to complete the delusion? "And it was so that when any man came nigh to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand and kissed him. Ah! here is the demagogue in character. Here is the "fraternal embrace," which has squeezed many a man and many a nation, out of their liberties. Wherever we find a man, seeking an office from a throne to a constable's staff, we find him "kissing" the people—and kissing will often do what is not to be done by kicking. "And Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel." Assuredly. He understood their disposition—he was master of his business. He did not write long essays, and reason with them. He applied to the hearts—not to their heads—and he carried his point. An instructive lesson to better men than Absalom! If they desire and expect to establish their influence over the people, let them apply to their passions and their interests—befriend them—help them in distress—do them favors—and thus steal the hearts of the men of Israel.
FROM THE MINERVA.
(Published at Raleigh, North Carolina.)
Louisiana Purchase. —The Editor has uniformly contended that the possession of Louisiana and the Floridas by the United States, would be a considerable acquisition, not from the want of territory, butasmuch as it would be the means of getting clear of an enemy whom we have reason to be jealous—But let us consider whether the money we are to pay for Louisiana alone, will not greatly overbalance the advantage we expect to reap,
  The sum it is said we are to give is 15 years interest at 6 per cent is 15,250,000   After this period the principal is to be paid in 5 annual instalments; therefore on the 16th year we shall pay interest on 12 millions, on the 17th year 9 millions, on the 18th year 6 millions, on the 19th year 3 millions. The interest on these different sums will amount to 13,727,000   1,800,000   30,777,000 
There was not a single measure which rendered Mr. Adams and his administration so unpopular as the Direct Tax for raising only two millions of dollars—and indeed some of our men of moderate wealth found it difficult to part with the small portion which they had to pay—Suppose Mr. Jefferson's Congress should pass a law for raising from a tax on houses, lands and slaves, to meet the payment of this thirty millions seven hundred and seventy-seven thousand dollars, what will be the consequence but the ruin of many?—If a citizen of Wake county paid a direct tax of 100 dollars, his portion of the two millions, he will pay for his part of the Louisiana purchase, (and if the Treaty is ratified his property stands pledged to Bonaparte for the same) 1500 dollars. It matters not whether this sum is raised from lands, houses and slaves, each man according to his wealth will have to pay his quota somehow or other.—To this it will be said that Mr. Jefferson, for fear of losing his office, will not tax the people—but every man who means to pay his just debts, will not thank him for his forbearance when they know they must pay it some time or other—and the longer it is protracted the more it will accumulate by the interest.
FROM THE UTICA PATRIOT.
Notwithstanding the artful disimulation and hypocritical cant of democracy, an attentive observer will meet with frequent instances of palpable inconsistency, in the "gestion" of her unhallowed designs to subvert the principle of rational liberty, and deceive the credulous and unsuspecting.—The crooked path of jacobinism, leads through devious windings, to a labyrinth, impervious to the rays of genuine liberty; and if pursued will end in sure political ruin. But we have a warning voice frequently afforded us by the conduct of this party to deter us from following the footsteps of those who, blindly, or with a spirit of incorrigible wickedness, would plunge their country, into all the horrors of democratic despotism. Surely men cannot act from honest motives, surely they cannot be guided by a genuine love for their country, nor prompted by disinterested views for the honor, interest and happiness of the people, who are obliged to twist into all the contortions of a reptile, and wind through all the changes of a subtle sophistry to accomplish their ruinous projects, and yet preserve their popularity; to deceive the people with professions of unalterable attachment to the government, at the very moment they are giving it its death wound. Surely these men are not entitled to the confidence of the people, who practice to-day what yesterday they condemned; who pursue measures infinitely more violent than those which they denounced in their political adversaries; who to-day deny the existence of a law, infringing on the liberty of the press, when their success in gaining the ascendancy of power, depends on an abuse of this liberty; but who to-morrow, when their purposes are accomplished, contend for the existence of the same law, that they may prevent just apprehension, and thereby secure the permanency of that authority, which would fall before the force of all prevailing truth. Who now boldly censure a law, as tyrannical and unjust, (though eminently calculated to secure the liberty and guard against the licentiousness of the press) and in the next moment advocate principles that have a sure and direct tendency to subvert this liberty, and with that, every invaluable privilege of freemen. Surely the sincerity of those men must be suspected, who with a solemn mockery, can affect to cherish the memory, and admire the virtues of him, who was his country's boast, at the
same time they applauded the "useful laborers" of a profligate wretch, who was his bitterest enemy, and who exerted, with malignant rancour, every energy of his mind, to blast the fairest fame and revile the purest virtue.—Surely the moral and religious character of that man must be suspected, who selects for his bosom friend, the arch apostle of infidelity, and entertains with the cordial welcome of hospitality, the lowest wretch of profligacy. Surely the liberties of our country cannot be entrusted to faithful public servants, when foreign renegadoes, fugitives from justice, and unprincipled advenurers, are charged with the servile task of supporting the authority, and advocating those measures, which native citizens are not permitted to gainstay. Surely the views of that administration cannot be honorable in themselves, nor advantageous to the country which receive their direction, not from considerations of what is really best, but of what is best calculated to secure popular applause. A system of short sighted policy that will sacrifice the best interest of our country to the illaudible purpose of retaining a little longer, an ill-gotten power. Surely those men cannot be esteemed the friends, and supporters of our constitution, who at one bold stroke would prostrate the strongest pillar of its support, and fritter away by piece meals those systems that give strength and stability to the government—surely the wisdom and integrity of that party must be questioned, who are involved in palpable inconsistencies, and unpardonable contradictions; whose conduct in the management of public affairs, forms one continued tissue of incongruities. What can be our estimation of a man or any set of men, who one moment applaud the conduct of an administration, and eulogize it as a bright constellation, who had wisely conducted the government, and left it in the full tide of successful experiment, and in the next breath, censure it as having been devoted to the views of a particular sect, and as shutting the doors of honor and confidence against one half of the citizens of our country; as having designs, dangerous to the liberties of the republic, and favorable to the establishment of a monarchy. What must be our estimation of the man, by whom, in the flattering language of adulation, we are now called brethren of one family—all federalists, all republicans,—and in the next moment, prompted by a spirit of political intolerance, as despotic as wicked, we are persecuted for opinion sake, and the bread of honest and faithful servants is taken from their mouths and given to the worthless and profligate of a favored sect. Surely there must be "something rotten in Denmark," when power is gained by the licentiousness of the press, and preserved by a suppression of its liberty.
Biographical.
Commodore John Barry. —When the death of this gallant officer was announced, the numerous ornaments of his naval and domestic characters freshened in our recollection, and a blameless impulse was felt to pay his memory the homage of our gratitude and sincere regret! a tribute which the generous will be proud to echo, & which the ingenuous cannot disapprove. It may be needless to observe that Captain Barry espoused with ardour the cause of Liberty early in the year 1775; or to say with what constancy of attachment and boldness of enterprise he supported her interest during the war: all who have read the details of that glorious struggle must be familiar with the name of Captain Barry, and view in him a patriot of true integrity and of undoubted bravery.
His naval achievements would of themselves have reflected much honour on his memory, but those could not have endeared it to his fellow-citizens had he wanted those gentle and amiable virtues, which embellish the gentleman and ennoble the soldier. Nature not less kind than Fortune, gave him a heart, which the carnage
and desolation of war could not harden into cruelty; and the tenor of his naval career exhibits a proof that the art of commanding does not consist in supercilious haughtiness, tyrannous insult and wanton severity. In the pleasing view which his life presents, we contemplate a trait highly worthy of admiration as well for its intrinsic excellence, as for its rare emergence in the bustle and distraction of war, a punctilious observance of the duties of his religion. In the scope of his character, then, we survey with pleasure a warm and steady friend, a firm patriot, a mild and humane commander, a valiant soldier, and a good Christian, beloved by numerous friends, honoured by his co-patriots, and respected by all who knew him.— Philad. pap.
Agricultural.
FROM THE HUDSON, (N. Y.) BALANCE.
A recent experiment on pickling Seed Wheat.
A man, in this state, in preparing his seed-wheat for sowing, steeped one bushel twelve hours in pickle, and then rolled it in plaster, and sowed it through the middle of a field containing eleven or twelve acres: on each side of this throughout the field, sowed wheat that had been rolled in plaster, but not pickled. Soon after the grain began to vegetate, he perceived a striking difference, and that, during the growth, the stems of the pickled seed were much superior in thriftiness and luxuriance.
After reaping, threshing, and measuring the grain, and making a comparison between the products of the pickled and unpickled seed (which was done the present year) the owner has affirmed it as his opinion, that if he had pickled the whole of the seed which was sown in that field, his crop would have been increased thereby not less than seventy or eighty bushels.
Miscellaneous.
BOSTON, SEPT. 25.
The Boston Female Asylum. On Friday last, celebrated its 3d anniversary, at the Trinity Church. The house was crowded beyond any former example; and the assembly of ladies was very numerous and brilliant. Beauty, attracted by the graces, never looked more lovely;—the glow of intelligence, which beamed from her sparkling eye, was never more luminous—it eradicated the pendant tear as it dop'd on the shrine of Charity. The discourse by the Rev. Dr. PARKER, was truly appropriate to the occasion; It was animated with sentiment, and enriched with rhetoric; it summoned the best feelings of the human heart, and marshalled them into a phalanx around this benevolent institution. Great credit is also due to the musical part of the celebration; and altho' from the over-crowded state of the house, the audience was but incommodiously situated; the intellectual pleasures, excited by such an occasion, were never more apparent than in the animated expression of all present. The collection for the benefit of the Orphan fund, we hear, amounted to 407 dls. 60 cts.
Commencement at Williams' College. in Williamstown, was the 7th inst. The Degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred on 15 young gentlemen; and that of Master of Arts on 13. The degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on the Hon. Rufus King, and that of D. D. on the Rev. Job Swift, of Bennington.
When Bonaparte and his Lady retire to bed, the strictest orders are given that no person whatever shall be permitted to enter their chamber, even on the most pressing occasion, except a favorite Mameluque, who at a certain hour, carries up a basin of milk, places it on a chair near the bed side, and without uttering a syllable, withdraws, locks the door, and stretches himself at the door of the apartment, on a carpet, with a pair of pistols, and a scymetar by his side.— Lon. pap.

LATE AND INTERESTING Intelligence from Europe.
RECEIVED BY AN ARRIVAL AT NEWCASTLE, IN 30 DAYS FROM DUBLIN. DATES TO 25TH AUG.
Of the Invasion of England.
LONDON, AUG. 19 We have been informed by a gentleman who arrived from France within these few days, that the contracts for building boats for the invasion of this country, bind the builders to have them all finished by the end of October next, and that in all the places where they are fitting them out, it is understood they will be actually employed in November. The gentleman to whom we allude had a good opportunity for obtaining information; for, previously to his getting on board the American vessel which brought him over, he had joined himself to an American merchant, who pulled him for his clerk. With him he travelled over the greatest part of the route followed by the First Consul in his late tour, till he came to Flushing. There he embarked with about 20 other British subjects on board an American vessel. They had weighed anchor, and were absolutely under sail, happy at the thoughts of having effected their escape, when an order from the First Consul, who was there at the time, brought the vessel again into port; by the friendship, however, of the captain who dressed him out as a sailor, and appointed him mate, he was allowed to proceed with the vessel, after all the others were landed. He says the preparations for invasion in all the places through which he passed are immense.— Star.
Invasion of France!
In the mean time we are not idle in our preparations to repel the invader. Indeed it be do not make haste to carry his threat into execution, he will probably find employment for his whole force, in defending his own shores, instead of invading others. A plan of attack, we understand, has been actually determined upon, and the enterprise will have every necessary feature of vigour, and be conducted under men of the first abilities. If this be connected with the new political arrangements on the continent, the issue may prove highly beneficial to Europe. If otherwise, it will distract the enemy and tend to keep hostilities from our own shores.
Some gunboats have been ordered to be immediately completed with men, and the necessary provisions and stores, at Sheerness, and to proceed to the Downs with all possible dispatch.
Appearances of Disaffection in Paris, and Postponement of the Invasion.
A private letter from France, dated August 10, says—"You may rest satisfied the proposed invasion of your country, which we all expected would be shortly carried into execution, will not take place during the year 1803! The plan is abandoned for the present, and so far I can speak with certainty; but what has occasioned this sudden alteration in the mind of the First Consul remains to be explained. I cannot hazard a conjecture, and therefore shall only add what are the reports of the moment. It is said that Talleyrand, (who, by the bye, never was friendly to an invasion of Britain) had discovered the secret emmissaries of the ci-devant Princes, whose cautious in distributing a late Manifesto throughout Paris have occasioned very considerable uneasiness. The plan for a counter revolution in favour of the Bourbons, it is said, was deeply laid, and the ramifications so very extensive, that Talleyrand thought it prudent to dispatch a special messenger to the First Consul, requesting his immediate return. Another report states, the Emperor's very formidable preparations have been considered as a certain indication of another continental war. A third rumor, to which some credit is attached, goes to impeach the Minister. It is said that Talleyrand had been detected in a secret correspondence with the English Cabinet, and that Bonaparte was privately informed of this treason at Belfort. These, and a variety of other reports, are now on the wing; but no dependence can be placed on any of them. All I can say to you with certainty is—that your country is secure for the present."
Failures in Paris.
LONDON, AUG. 20. The private letters from Paris, by the last conveyance, mentions a fact to which, of course, the journalists of that capital dare not even make the slightest allusion. This important fact is nothing less than the failure of fifteen of the Parisian Bankers in one day! In their fall a great number of French merchants, who, having no capital of their own, depend chiefly on the Bankers for support, are most deeply implicated.
Return of Bonaparte to St. Cloud.
Bonaparte returned to St. Cloud on the 11th at night. He is to remain at Paris but a short time. In about three weeks he is to set out for Brest, where preparations are making for his reception. After he has visited Brest, L'Orient, and Rochefort, he will repair to Ghent, where he will remain for some time. Ghent is to be the centre from whence he will direct the expedition against this country. The army to be assembled is to consist of 150,000 men. One hundred and eighty thousand men are to be employed in building boats, and 4000 will be completed before the end of the year. The Monitor for the first time, we believe, mentions the expedition against this country. It announces the subscription of a French General towards the expenses of the armament preparing against England. We have no doubt that an invasion will be attempted very shortly.
Celebration of Bonaparte's birth-day.
The anniversary of Bonaparte's birth day was celebrated at Paris, on the 15th. He received the congratulations of the Senators and the Legislative assemblies, and an 80 gun ship was launched at Toulon upon the occasion. There are at Toulon
enfil of the line and several frigates, two 80 gun ships have been lately launched, and two more are to be launched very shortly.
Affairs of Ireland.
DUBLIN, AUG. 24. The extraordinary vigilance that has taken place in this city since Monday last, in more effectual enforcing the regulations ordered to be observed by the inhabitants, in consequence of the existence of Martial Law, is not, we understand, owing to any increased apprehensions entertained by Government of the designs of the insurgents, but rather adopted as a precautionary measure during the facts that take place in the vicinity of Dublin at this time, to prevent the disguised from making their attendance at those places a pretext for assembling, in unusual numbers, or being abroad at unreasonable hours.
On Sunday, a proclamation was issued and very generally published in this city, commanding all persons to keep their habitations after nine o'clock at night—and directing all horsekeepers to post up on the doors the names of the several inmates. The same proclamation requires all persons resorting to this city to furnish themselves with passports; and provides for the security of those country persons who are employed in furnishing Dublin with provisions.
Russia co operating with England.
LONDON, AUG. 19. The intelligence given in this paper and persisted in, though contradicted by almost all our contemporaries is now very generally credited, even by those who were most sceptic. Russia is certainly with this country, and the squadron of twelve sail of the line, which lately sailed from the Russian ports, will actually winter in our harbour.—The necessary orders for providing provisions and every accommodation for this force, have been issued by Government, and the ships are expected in about six weeks at the latest, from the present period.— Star.
By letters from Petersburg, which reached town on Wednesday, intelligence has been received that captain Elphinstone, brother to Lord Keith, is appointed an admiral in the Russian service, by permission of the British government; and that he is about to take upon himself the command of the Baltic fleet.
It is confidently affirmed at Hamburg, that the great Russian fleet, which has failed, has 20,000 troops on board, and that Russia has peremptorily required the King of Prussia to assist in driving the French from Hanover. What all this may end in we cannot conjecture, but things cannot remain as they are.
Letters received yesterday by the Mails from Hufum, positively state, that the Emperor Alexander had ordered some Frenchmen to be arrested in his dominions, and sent as spies to Siberia; and that likewise all remaining Frenchmen should depart the Russian territory. It was further stated, that the Emperor had given formal notice to the French government, that he could no longer be an indifferent spectator, if neutral territories were not immediately evacuated by the French troops. Other letters, we understand, and those of good authority, even give us reason to hope, that by the month of October we shall have a Russian squadron of ten or twelve ships of the line co operating with our navy on the British coast.
Of the Northern Powers.
We are certainly led, from every thing we can learn, to form very sanguine expectations with respect to the future conduct of the Northern Powers.—It is their obvious interest to support this country at the present moment, as the best means of curbing the ambition, and reducing, within proper limits the over-grown power of France. We hope that at length, those powers have discerned their real interest, and have resolved to pursue it.
Russia is reported to have formed a coalition with Sweden and Denmark, for protecting the navigation of the Baltic. Each of the powers is to furnish a certain quantity of ships, which are to be equipped with all possible expedition. Another rumour was circulated at Bremen, that the Russian government had declared to our Court, that it should consider any attempt on our part to blockade the Sound as an act of hostility.— Courier.
Still, however, some pacific hopes are cherished, and it is believed in the north of Germany, that we have accepted the offers made by Russia and Prussia, with some modifications—that a Congress will be held at Hamburg, which is situated mid way between London and Petersburg; and that not only the differences between England and France will be discussed, but that some arrangements will also be made with respect to the Turkish Empire.— Bid.
The Court of Sweden openly authorizes the arrival of our packets at Gottenburgh, and the conveyance of our mails through the Swedish territory. Denmark has hitherto merely tolerated our landing them at Tonningen and Hufum, but there is reason to hope she will soon follow the manly conduct of Sweden, and give a declared sanction to the transmission of our mails, in defiance of France.
The French have demanded the toll duty near Stade, of all Danish vessels coming up the Elbe, but the Danes have protested against this imposition, and are determined to resist it.
Portuguese Victory over the Algerines.
DUBLIN, AUG. 24. The Portuguese have at length gained an advantage by sea over the Algerines. The Vosee de Gama, a Portuguese ship of the line, cruising before Algiers, was attacked by three large xebecs and a forty gun frigate, which formerly belonged to the Portuguese. The Algerines attacked with their usual fury and desperation, but the Portuguese Captain made so good a defence, that after a fight, which lasted three hours, he sunk two of the xebecs, and captured the third, in which he had the happiness to find 200 prisoners whom
he set at liberty. The frigate, however, contrived to make her escape.
Discontent in Italy.
A letter from Hamburg, dated August 12, says, "Several partial insurrections in the Italian Republic have been occasioned by the violent measures of General Murat, to enforce the law about the Conscript; and so general is the discontent in that country, that General Murat was forced to stop the march of 15,000 Frenchmen destined for the southern part of Italy, until he receives fresh reinforcements from France. Many families of consequence, and people of property, have sold their estates in Lombardy, and settled under the Austrians, in the Venetian territory, seeking for safety and liberty under an Imperial Despotism, after having experienced the plunder and slavery of a Republican Tyranny."
Miscellaneous Articles.
St. James's, Aug. 17. —This day James Munroe, Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States of America, had his first private audience of his majesty to deliver his credentials.
LONDON, AUGUST 20. General Dumourier is now in London. He arrived at Harwich from the continent the day before yesterday—but whether he merely seeks an asylum or is to be employed by this country, we cannot take upon us to state—about 2 o'clock, yesterday he set off for Twickenham, on a visit, it is supposed to the Duke of Orleans.
Gen. Brune is said to have demanded of the Port the exclusion of all British ships from the Turkish ports, and that the passage of the Dardanelles be shut against us.
We are happy in being able to give an account of the safety of our Baltic Fleet. They had been waiting at Elsinore for a favorable wind. On the 28th ult. they sailed from Elsinore, to the number of 400 sail, escorted by some ships of war.—The Dolphin, one of the convoy, arrived in Yarmouth roads on Sunday last, and the whole of the fleet may be daily expected.
Some discoveries have been made of certain suspicious persons, from which it would appear that the French are practising the same arts here as in Ireland. We entertain no apprehensions whatever on this head. We are convinced that the nation is steadfastly loyal, because it has no reason to be otherwise; and the machinations of a few obscure traitors can only serve, by their discovery, to keep the general loyalty more upon the alert.
A letter received in town yesterday from an Officer on board one of his Majesty's ships lying off Cadiz, announces the capture of a very rich Spanish West Indiaman, on her passage from South America. She had 11,000 ounces of gold on board, and was carried into Gibraltar. A French 74, which was in company with the prize, narrowly escaped.
The nephew and Niece of Madame Bonaparte arrived at Dover on Wednesday, on their way to France. It has at length been agreed, that they shall be exchanged for the young ladies from the boarding school at Rouen, now waiting at Calais. A cartel was expected to fail the next day.
DUBLIN, AUG. 25. The East India Company have made a most patriotic offer, which has been accepted by Government. They are to furnish six ships completely manned for the service of the state.
The Ministers of the Presbytery of Glasgow, as an encouragement to the parishioners to enter into the army and navy, have engaged to provide for the education of the children of the first hundred men, having families within their district, who offer their services to government.
The war which has lately broken out between this country and France, occasions great perplexity to the Porte. Propositions, it is said, have been made to the Porte to permit English ships to enter its harbors, and allow them a free passage through the Dardanelles.
The Liverpool Advertiser of Saturday last contains the following article:—"We have been informed, by a Welsh Correspondent, that the Turkish gentleman, who lately resided in this place for a short time and was greatly admired for the dignity of his manners, and the elegance of his French conversation, has been apprehended in Wales, by order of government, as a French spy. Plans and foundings of all the neighboring coasts and harbors, it is said, were found upon him, as well as sketches and military surveys of the adjacent country."
BY THE MAILS.
BOSTON, SEPT. 30. From Cape Francois.—Capt. Hamilton, of the brig Gayalo, arrived at Newyork, on the 25th inst. in 22 days from Cape Francois, informs, that the black general Desalines was making preparations for attacking the Cape in 4 or 5 days after he failed, and Gen. Rochambeau was adopted the strongest defensive measures. The French troops and inhabitants from Jeremie, had arrived at the Cape, having entirely evacuated that place to the Brigands. The British blockading squadron off the Cape, permitted the troops to enter the harbour without molestation. The most distressing accounts were received from Port Republican, the inhabitants entirely destitute of provisions, and closely hemmed in by the blacks, into whose hands they must shortly fall, and become a sacrifice to their vengeance, if they did not speedily abandon the place. The troops from thence were daily looked for at the Cape. Provisions were very high particularly flour, which was retailing at 45 and 50 dollars per barrel.
From St. Lucie, Aug. 30. A French Guineaman, with 550 slaves, came in here through mistake, as French colours were flying on the battery, and she was immediately made a prize by the garrison.
Portland,
MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1803.
Our details from Europe, given this day, were brought by the Schooner Gardner, capt. Gifford, arrived at Wilcassett, on Wednesday last, in 28 days from Dublin; and handed us by the attorney of a friend in this town—They are arranged under proper heads, and their complexion is generally interesting. A change appears progressively in the affairs of Europe, which we think will greatly affect the political aspect of that part of the world. The bubble of invasion, which was so necessary for Bonaparte to interest the attention of the deluded French, appears about bursting, and some other effort must now occupy the mind of the "arbitrator of Europe," whose utmost vigilance will be necessary to keep peace at home.
Letters from Dublin, received in this town, and at Wilcassett, represent business as very much at a stand there—but the city is quiet, and guarded with the greatest security.—The inhabitants are in expectation of an invasion from France.
From a London paper of August 20. A few days since a council of the seven French Princes were held. Pichegrue and Dumourier were present. With a view to an expedition the latter has certainly come to this country. The Royal Standard is to be erected in France, under these generals, accompanied by some of the Princes.
A British frigate and bomb vessel have bombarded Bologne, and destroyed a great part of the lower town and harbor. A party of seamen and marines landed and set fire to several houses.
Orders have been sent to Dover for an hundred Trinity Pilots to be ready at a moment's notice.
A loan has been opened by the house of Hope and Co. De Smith and Willark, with the French government, for 5 millions of dollars, to be paid for in American Louisiana Stock.—Amsterdam paper.
STATE OF THE FEVER.
At Alexandria, Philadelphia, and Newyork, the Fever still continues its ravages; but its mortality is by far the greatest in Newyork:—On the 22d Sept. there were 6 deaths; and 32 new cases; on the 23d, 9 deaths, 40 new cases; 24th, 9 deaths, 20 new cases; 25th, 12 deaths, 19 new cases; 26th, 7 deaths, and 50 new cases.—On the 26th, the Philadelphia Board of Health reported but two new cases.—We hope the advanced state of the season will soon render our accounts more favorable from Newyork.
We have to defer several articles prepared for days, to give place to our intelligence from Europe, and to accommodate our advertising friends.—We shall in a few weeks give the Gazette on an improved plan, with a superior paper and type; and no pains will be spared to give general satisfaction.
Birth.
The wife of Mr. Samuel Starbird, of this town, was last week, safely delivered of three living children. Two of them are likely to do well.
Marrage.
At Pepperrellboro', Mr. Samuel Nye, merchant of Bath, to Miss Eunice Cotts, daughter of Col. Cotts.
Death.
In this town, on Wednesday morning last, after a long illness, Mrs. Sally Lord, aged 18, the amiable daughter of Mr. William Lord, and eldest daughter of Dea. William Lord.—An early attention to the social duties, a contented mind, a frankness of disposition, and an engaging deportment, had endeared her to the circle of her relatives and friends, who have now to deplore her early translation to eternity.
No mourning given! unceremonious fate! A sudden rush from life's meretricious joy!
Mrs. SARAH INGRAHAM, wife of Mr. William Ingraham.
Drowned at Lewiston, on the 23d ult. in attempting to ride across Androscoggin river, a transient man named David Hale Burbank, and his horse; his body was taken the following day, on which an inquisition was taken the following, and then decently interred.
Melancholy accident.—Mr. Jonathan Rowe, of Newbedford, in driving a team to North-yarmouth got entangled with one of the wheels, which unfortunately passed over him and put an instantaneous period to his existence.

VALUABLE NEW PUBLICATION. Lately published, and for sale by W. JENKS, JUN. at his Office, Elm Street, and at the several Bookstores in town. (Price 75 cts per dozen, 6d. single.)  PACKARD'S CATECHISM, Second Edition. This work has met with a favorable reception, and has been recommended to the public by a number of eminent Divines, whose praises are in the Churches. Over the joint signature of the Rev. Doctors WILLARD HOWARD and TAPPAN, we find their approbation of it in the following expression: "We the subscribers, having perused the following Catechism, conceive that in point of order, perspicuity, and conciseness, it is in general well adapted to afford the pious and benevolent an impression of the author." The Rev. Dr. CUMMINGS, of Bath, in the vicinity of Boston, recommends it in the words following—viz.  "Having perused the following tract, and attended to the catechetical parts, I think the whole is well adapted to initiate children and youth into the principles of piety and virtue, and to impress a just sense of christian, moral and social duty and obligation, on the rising generation."  "It detracts nothing from the merits of other compositions of the like kind, but is designed and intended to afford additional aid to those, who wish to bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord; and I am persuaded it will be found to be a profitable book in families, and that it may be used to great advantage for forming the minds of youth with sentiments of religion and rectitude, and forming them to such a character as shall make them blessings, and prepare them for happiness."  "This catechism has one obvious excellence to recommend it, which is, that it meets all denominations of christians upon harmonious ground, neither embracing nor excluding the peculiarities of different persuasions. On this account it appears well calculated to afford salutary instruction to all, without giving umbrage to any, and to promote union among christian brethren, by keeping their differences, in less important matters, out of view, and fixing their attention on those great essentials of religion, in which they are agreed."  HENRY CUMMINGS.  The author of this Catechism professes to build upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, and to draw his principal lines and set out his work from the same divine source.  Stephen Longfellow, jun. Assignee. Portland, October 1, 1803.

THOMAS CLARK,
Respectfully informs the public that he has just received from Richard Lee & Co's Patent & Family Medicine Store, New York, a fresh supply of the following VALUABLE MEDICINES, which are in high esteem and general use throughout the United States, many of them being sold cheaper than the drugs of which they are compounded, could be purchased at a retail store. Hamilton's Essence & Extract of Mustard.
A safe and effectual remedy for Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, White Swellings, Chilblains, Sprains, Bruises, Pain in the face and neck, &c.
This valuable remedy is prepared both in a fluid state and in pills and thus excellently adapted both for external & internal use. The Pills operate mildly by urine, and by insensible perspiration, expelling the superfluous & morbid humours; they are highly cordial to the stomach; create appetite, & digestion, remove flying pains, and cold or windy complaints in the stomach and bowels.
The Essence is a wonderful assistant to the pills in Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago and Palsy—and by peculiar penetrating, and dispersing quality, removes the most violent sprains, bruises, numbness, stiffness of the neck, joints, &c. swelled faces, head ache, induced breaks, white swellings, frozen limbs, &c. and will infallibly prevent the ill effects of wet or damp feet.
Some may be surprised that this medicine should be prescribed with equal success in such a variety of cases, but this surprise will cease when it is recollected that all those complaints result from the same cause—a flow of blood in the circulation of the lymph or obstructions in the lymphatic vessels. From Dr. Weatherburn.
Wytshire County, (Virginia) Gentlemen—I passed at your shop the preparation you call Hamilton's Essence or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a Chronic Rheumatism (of that kind named Sciatica or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful, you are at liberty to make it public. Yours, &c. P. WEATHERBURN.
JOHN HOOVER, rope-maker, South Second-street, between Mary and Christian-streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely—that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with violent Rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 19, South Second-street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength. JOHN HOOVER. Sworn and subscribed before Ebenezer Forsyth, one of the justices of the peace for Philadelphia co.
An ounce of Prevention is worth a pound of Cure! For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended Hahn's Anti-Bilious Pills.
The operation of these Pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to reduce and amend the appetite—to produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance—they are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—lowness at the stomach and severe head-ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate—They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
Hahn's true and genuine German Corn Plaister. An infallible remedy for Corns, speedily removing them, root and branch, without giving pain.
The genuine Persian Lotion. So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe, as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellent minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes in the face & skin of every kind, particularly freckles, pimples, inflammatory redness, scurf, tetter, ring-worms, sun-burn, prickly heat, &c. The Persian Lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural insensible perspiration which is essential to health, yet its effects are speedy and permanent, rendering them delicately soft and clear, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth. Never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, & an handsome one more so.
Restorative Powder for the Teeth & Gums. This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, by absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness which suffered to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
Hahn's genuine Eye-Water. A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or accident, speedily removing inflammations, debilities of rheum, weakness, itching and film on the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthen a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-Ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
Sovereign Ointment for the Itch. Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, one containing a particle of mercury or any dangerous ingredients whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends the application of other remedies.

MAN DESCRIBED.
"Proud man alone in waiting weakness born; No horns protect him, and no p'umes adorn; No finer powers of nostril, ear, or eye, Teach the young reasoner to pursue or fly. Nerved with fine touch, above the bestial throngs The hand, first gift of Heaven! to man belongs: Unapt with claws, the circling fingers close, With rival points the bending thumbs oppose, Trace the nice lines of Form with sense refin'd, And clear ideas charm the thinking mind. Whence the fine organs of the touch impart Ideal figure, source of every art; Time, motion, number, sunshine of the form, But mark varieties in Nature's form. Slow could the tangent organ wander o'er The rock-built mountain and the winding shore; No apt ideas could the pigmy mite, Or embryo emmet, to the touch excite; But, as each mass, the lotar ray reflects, The eye's clear glass the transient beam collects, Bends to their focal point the rays that swerve, And paints the living image on the nerve; So, in some village-barn, or festive hall, The spheric lens illumines the whitened wall; O'er the bright field successive figures fleet, And motley shadows dance along the street. Symbol of solid forms is color'd light, And the mute language of the touch is light. Hence, in life's portico, stands young Surprise, With step retreating, and expanded eyes; The virgin Novelty, whose radiant train Soars o'er the clouds, or sinks beneath the main; With sweetly-mutable seductive charms Thrills the young sense, the tender heart alarms Then Curiosity, with tracing hands, And meeting lips, the lines of form demands. Buoy's on light step o'er ocean, earth, and sky, Rolls the bright mirror of her reflex eye; While in wild groups tumultuous Passions stand, And Lust and Hunger head the motly band; Then Love and Rage succeed, and Hope and Fear, And nameless Vices close the gloomy rear; Or young Philanthropy, with voice divine, Convokes the adoring youth to Virtue's shrine; Who, with raised eye and pointing finger, leads To truths celestial and immortal deeds."
