Poetry.
ON MY EARLY GREY HAIRS. Life's current now ebbs in the course of each vein, And my high pulse of youth is impair'd; The gout, through my nerves, in the war- nings of pain, Tells, that pleasure's full bowl should be spar'd.  Though sear'd by labour, by hardships in- ur'd To sustain the rude blasts of each clime, My grey curling locks to the grave have in- fur'd The short voyage on the ocean of Time.
In visions successive, gay Fancy still flies. Still, her cloud-woven fabric endeurs; But reason, awaken'd, more feelingly cries, "Thou hast reap'd the full harvest of years."
For the flars at my birth seem'd ill-fated and bleak, And led me through life's many bowers, Where, no monitions could forward or check, Or point out the thorns from the flowers.
And oft, when Misfortune has cross'd my lorn way, Have I solac'd my cares in the bowl; Yet Honour, while Passion held madly the sway, Kept the watch in my tumult-toss'd soul.
Seduction ne'er loos'd my heart's honest spice, As the wild waves of Passion would roll; My barque, often lurch'd on the sand-banks of vice, Again righted, and rose off the shoal.
And now, when my day-spring, my bloom are o'er, And my hairs like a hear-frost in June— I feel no regret, for my barque nears the shore, Where my head shall regain fresher bloom.
Then wave, ye grey signals, adown my young head; Your warnings in mercy are given— To catch, o'er the skies of blest summer have fled.
The pure, lasting breezes of heaven. MARINERO. [Newburyport Herald.]

The girl who has inflamed her passions by novel reading, is a piece ready charged and primed; the last spark (if I may be excused the triple pun) will make her go off.
A Clergyman was reading the bu- rial service over an Irish corpse, and having forgot which sex it was, on coming to that part of the ceremony that reads thus, "our dear brother or sister," the Reverend Gentleman stopped, and seeing Pat stand by, stepped back, and whispering to him said, "Is it a brother or a sister? Pat says 'tis neither, 'tis only a rela- tion."
PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL.
Captain Benjamin Wickes, sen. of Philadelphia, on his return from India, by London, received one thousand Guineas from the Baptist Missionary Society, in England, for propagating the Gospel among the heathen. This sum, is to be sent to the Missionaries in Bengal, for the purpose of printing a translation of the Sacred Scriptures into one of the languages of that country.
Such progress has been made in translating, that, it is presu- med the sum above mentioned will be sufficient to complete editions in three languages. Thirteen Ministers of the Gospel, in Philadelphia, have publicly vouched for the fidelity of Captain Wickes, and recommended him as worthy the confidence of those who are disposed to favor and encou- rage this praiseworthy undertaking.
A letter on this important subject, having been transmitted to the Bos- ton Association of Ministers, a com- mittee of that Society was appointed to consider the subject, who, after a careful inquiry, offered a report highly favourable to the encourage- ment of the plan; expressing their confidence in the fidelity and ability of those who were more immediate- ly to carry it into execution.
Subscriptions will be opened in this town, and the monies raised for this purpose will be committed to the care of the Rev. Dr. Stillman, Rev. Dr. Eckley, Deacon Samuel Salisbury, Henry Hill, and Hon. John Davis—These gentlemen will receive and transmit whatever money may be raised in the country for this object. Boston Paper.
The iron manufactory at Carron, in Scotland, is the greatest perhaps of the kind in the world. The weekly consumption of coals amounts to 11,000 tons at 4 shillings per ton, and the consumption of each day is equal to that of the city of Edinburgh, for a week.—As many coals, there- fore, are consumed in the Carron Foundry, as would suffice to supply a city of 700,000 inhabitants.—One thousand workmen are daily employ- ed in the manufactory, whose wages amount to 700l. a week, and 36,400l. per annum.
Extra d of a letter from a gentleman in New Orleans, dated April 19, to his friend in Baltimore.
"We have nothing now to commu- nicate from this quarter, except an in- creasing disaffection among the na- tives. Our harmless congress seem peaceably disposed as usual, let what- ever dangers or insults threaten; and by their amicable meekness, this country, the richest and by far the most valuable part of the United States, is left totally unprotected, and liable to incur all the evils result- ing from the machinations of discon- tented citizens, and the invasion of a jealous neighboring foe. The effect- ive number of all the United States troops in all lower Louisiana, does not amount to 500 men.—What a pity that such a pusillanimous govern- ment should possess such a country as this! They do not deserve it.— Their unpardonable neglect has drawn on the administration and on the government in general, the sove- reign contempt of its inhabitants.— Pardon the severity of these remarks. They flow from a lively sense of our exposed and unprotected situation. We will send a file of papers contain- ing the extraordinary proceedings of our heterogenous legislature. A bill is now before the house to introduce or rather to make the French lan- guage the only one to be used in all publick business; and some very in- fluential members have gone so far as to say in private circles and cauc- uses, that the knowledge of the Eng- lish language by a native of the coun- try ought to be considered as suffi- cient to disqualify him for office. A law has also been talked of to prevent foreigners from marrying natives of the country, under a residence of 7 years. These things are ridiculous in themselves. They serve to shew the ignorance of their authors, but they also serve to shew their invete- rate and irreconcilable disaffection towards the government of the United States. From these considera- tions, and knowing that a large por- tion of the natives of the country would immediately rally to the stan- dard of any invading foe, and having our ears and our feelings daily insult- ed by the grossest and most contempt- uous abuse of our native country and its government, good and happy be- yond a parallel in the history of man, we do not believe that our remarks are too severe respecting the extreme remedies of congress."
Of Spain and Portugal.
PRESBURG, APRIL 21.
The letters brought by the Lisbon mail were delivered this morning.— A general apprehension appears to prevail in Portugal that some attempt agaist the independence of that coun- try will be made by Spain. The Emperor of the French, it was re- ported, had determined to annex part of the Spanish territory to his dominions, for the loss of which Spain is to be indemnified by the ac- quisition of a considerable part, if not the whole of Portugal. The Span- ish provinces which Bonaparte is de- sirous of obtaining, are those of Bis- cay Galicia, within which are com- prised the ports of Bilbao, St. Sab- astian, Ferrol, Coruna and Vigo. When the packet left Lisbon, Span- ish troops were expected there, and it was reported that all these ports were shut against neutrals. The Portuguese Government was to be transferred to the Brazils.
That Bonaparte should be anxious to possess the whole of the territories which skirt the Bay of Biscay, is na- tural enough, and fatal as such an arrangement may prove to Spain we fear there is neither energy nor dis- position in her government to resist it. We are sure that if Biscay and Gal- licia are surrendered to France, the Spanish monarchy will not out-live their formal occupation half a year; or, if it should, the authority of the King will not be greater in his capi- tal, than that actually enjoyed by the Pope at Rome.

LONDON, APRIL 20, 1806.
Symptoms of fresh hostilities on the Con- tinent.
The Emperor of Germany allows the exportation of provisions, cattle &c. from his dominions, for the sup- port of the Russian army: and Rus- sian Commissaries have been accredited throughout the Hereditary States. M. Rochefoucault has remonstrated on the occasion, but the supplies are continued.
April 22. The Hamburg Mail, due on Sunday, arrived this morning. From the late hour at which our Let-
ters and Papers were delivered to us, we are obliged to postpone our ex- tracts of their contents until to-mor- row. The general amount of the in- telligence with which they furnish us is, that a rupture between France and Austria is considered as inevita- ble. The French Ambassador has peremptorily demanded the expulsion of the Russians from the Bocca di Cataro, and with such a demand it is impossible to suppose that Aus- tria will comply. It is generally be- lieved on the Continent that Prussia has entered into an alliance offensive and defensive with France.
Private letters from Hamburg, are said to state, that Austria has declar- ed in favour of Russia. This report is not sanctioned by any of the Ger- man Papers.
Military operations of Russia.
APRIL, 20.
Near Betzest a new Russian army of 100,000 men is assembling. Twenty regiments of cossacks were at the date of the last accounts, hourly ex- pected there. At Robryn, all the tailors, shoemakers, &c. were put in requisition to provide cloathing for the Russian troops, and were paid most liberally.
April 28. The recent movements of the French on the Austrian fron- tiers and the reinforcement of their corps in Bavaria, have created much uneasiness at Vienna. On the arri- val of a courier from Berthier, the French minister at Vienna communi- cated at the Imperial Cabinet the de- termination of his master to retain possession of Braunau until the af- fairs of Dalmatia were adjusted.— Prince Schwartzenburg was immedi- ately despatched to Paris, with a strong remonstrance on this violation of the treaty of Presburg.

CAUCUS.—No. 4.
MY last observations on the "Little Argus" noticed the inconsistency of those who constitute the democratic party.—When Washington and Adams conducted the affairs of the nation, they clamoured against high salaries, high taxes, great expences, &c. No sooner was Jefferson in the chair, than the great officers of government must have, in a time of peace and plenty, higher salaries than was before given in a time of war, when the prices of the necessaries of life were much higher. Some taxes, to promote popularity, were abolished, whilst unnecessary expences were incurred to a very large amount.
However important, and necessary for the honor and safety of the nation, that money should be raised and expended during the administration of Washington and Adams, every thing that concerned the public finances was reprobated by the democrats—and economy, economy, was their darling theme; and how has it been attended to since? Thousands and tens of thousands of dollars—yes, millions of dollars! are wasted, and the nation involved in a debt which the present generation will soon feel, and future generations loaded with. Is this economy? No matter whether it is or not—the word has answered the purpose of the democrats.
Federal officers are removed, and the friends of Jefferson have obtained their places; and all is right. If they should even pursue the plans of Washington and Adams, it would now, in the opinion of their supporters, be all right. But it would take a volume to relate all the inconsistencies of these self-styled republicans—There is not a word in the American language (that does not convey an idea of vice) that can be better applied to their character than INCONSISTENCY.
The "Little Argus" concludes with a pathetic address to the citizens of his sect, in the following words: "Republicans, by a general attendance THIS DAY, your House of Representatives, and by their means your whole state government may be REPUBLICAN, and harmonize [aye harmonize] with the general government, at this important crisis. The day is ours—if you attend in season; and be assured that every candid Federalist, who desires the peace and welfare of his country, will [yes will] with you succeed."
The blessings of harmonizing with the general government, shall be the subject of another number. I will only observe in this, that in saying "the day is yours," the writer happened to be mistaken.—The republicans, altho' they gave a general attendance, lost the day, but saved their powder. No "candid federalist" wished them success; but next year, yes next year, they say it will be otherwise. I hope in God it will be otherwise, as to the Commonwealth at large; for notwithstanding federalism has been, as it always was in this town, successful in its wise exertions, it is not so now, in the election of members to compose its legislative department of government.
What the effect will be, the close of the present political year will in some degree discover;—already we hear of the tyranny of the democratic faction in the Legislature—blessed fruits of the "harmonizing" plan which has been lately a favorite topic in this ant federalist papers! The next news will probably be, that these good democrats, these dear friends of the people, have worked out Governor Strong, who has been chosen by the people, and placed in the chair of government one who was not chosen, because he harmonizes with the wife administration of Jefferson. O! tempora! O! mores! SPECTATOR.
WINDSOR, MAY 29.
We learn that the noted Stephen Burroughs, was about a week since taken up by permission of the British government for crimes committed within the limits and against the laws of the United States, by Col. Barton, Sheriff of Orange county, who arrested and was on his way with him for Montreal. Our informant adds, that he understood that Burroughs, was to have his trial at Montreal, and if found guilty, would be carried from there into the state of New York.
Mr. Jefferson began his presidential career by observing, "experiment and reason have been indulged, and error has fled before them." He may close it by transporting the text so that it may read, "experiment and error has been indulged, and reason has fled before them." LUCIUS FEDERALIST.
Legislature of Massachusetts.
IN SENATE—JUNE 2.
A remonstrance from New-Bedford, on the subject of the return of votes from that town was received from the House; and referred to the committee on the returns, by the casting vote of the officiating President.
The Hon. Mr. Phillips of S. then moved, that the committee on the returns of votes should be instructed to allow all votes returned agreeably to the provisions of the Constitution, and not to reject any so returned for any evidence which did not appear on the return. On this motion the Hon. Mr. Hill moved the previous question, which was carried by the casting vote of the President, after some debate, in which the federal members complained of this mode of preventing the discussion of the main question.
The Rev. William Emerson, was chosen Chaplain of the Senate. [ Mr. E. had 20 votes;—the Rev. Mr. Allen, all the way from Pittsfield in Berkshire county, and the democratic candidate, had 19. ]
The Hon. Mr. Hastings and Hon. Mr. Hill, were appointed a committee to collect, sort and count the votes for President of the Senate; who reported that the whole number of votes were 39, 20 making a choice, that the Hon. John Bacon had 20 votes, and was declared to be chosen.
The President then addressed the Senate as follows: GENTLEMEN.
I AM deeply impressed with a great sense of my obligation to the honorable Senate, for the respect they have shown me in electing me President of this honorable Board.—This is a station to which I have not been in the habit of looking up: of course, I have not paid that attention which might otherwise have been expected, to the particular modes and forms which are proper, at least, if not absolutely necessary, to be observed, in conducting the business which is incident to the office in which I am placed.
At my time of life, it is not to be expected that new objects will become familiar, with that readiness and ease which they might have done at an earlier period. I am sensible of my own deficiency in many respects, and have reason to fear the honorable members of this Board will be more sensible of this deficiency than I am. I shall stand in need of, and at all times greatly receive, their kind advice.
My state of health has become more precarious of late than heretofore.—Another disadvantage under which I feel myself placed, is this;—I succeed a man who is in the prime of life, the benefit of whose services most of us have recently experienced, and one who is so well versed in business of this kind, that there is reason to fear, the difference, at least, if not the contrast, between us, will be too sensibly felt by this honourable Board, and by the public at large.
I shall rely on that candor from your honors, for the liberal exercise of which, I fear there will be found too great a demand. Were I now to engage impartially to perform all the duties incumbent on me, to the utmost of my ability, and were I to fulfill that engagement, I should, even in that case, do no more than discharge an obligation that is indispensable.
This I will endeavor to do; and should I succeed, the most grateful return that I can receive will be, to meet with your approbation.
House of Representatives.
MAY, 30.

TUESDAY, JUNE 3.
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Mr. Parsons, of Chesterfield, observed, that the Legislature was the guardians of the monies of the Commonwealth; and that the laws entrusted certain officers with the collection of those monies.—It was, therefore, of importance that the Legislature should know if those officers had been faithful to their trust; and when there were suspicions, of default in any, that an investigation should be had.—Indeed, it was the right of those officers to claim such investigation; that their innocence, if they were innocent should be established. The Attorney-General, he added, was invested by law with the collection of certain monies, and there were reports in circulation which had been publicly made, that he had not accounted for all those monies to the Treasurer of the State He, therefore would move.
That a Committee be appointed to enquire what, fees have been received by the Attorney-General of this Commonwealth, upon bills of costs, taxed in criminal prosecutions in the several counties and whether any accounts has been rendered thereof or any allowance, or deduction made, thereof, in the salary paid to that officer, according to law.
This motion was seconded by Mr. Upham, and advocated by the mover, Messrs. Upham, Sleeper, Sprague, Thacher, King and Bacon; and opposed by Mr. Hobart. It passed nearly unanimously, and Messrs. Parsons (of Chesterfield) King, Danforth (of B.) Upham, Bacon, Livermore, and Story, were appointed the Committee.
Several depositions, and other papers on the subject of irregularities respecting the meetings for the choice of Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, in the towns of Barnstable, Westford, Alfred, &c. came down from the Senate, with an order to commit them to the committee for examining the returns of the votes for Governor, &c. The motion to concur with the Senate, in committing these depositions, although they go to shew irregularities in towns in which Mr. Sullivan had a majority of votes, * was opposed by Messrs. Upham, Parsons, Wheaton, Whitman, Livermore, Thacher, and Bigelow:—And advocated by Messrs. Slocum, Hobart, Austin, Smith, Perry, Coffin, and Sprague.—When the question for concurring was decided by Yeas and Nays.—Yeas 237. Nays 199. Majority 38 for concurring with the Senate.
* The votes for Governor in Barnstable, Westford and Alfred, the present year, were, for Governor Strong 119—For Mr. Sullivan 398.
BOSTON, Friday, June 6.
Yesterday the committee appointed to examine the returns of votes for Governor and Lt. Governor, made the following report to the Senate:—
The Committee of both houses, appointed to examine the returns of the Votes from the several Towns, Districts, and Plantations in this Commonwealth, for Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
REPORT.
That they have carefully examin-
ed all the returns of votes from the several Towns, Districts and plantations in this Commonwealth, after revising and correcting a schedule herewith reported, entitled, "Votes for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, 27th Election, 1806," they find the whole number of votes contained therein for Governor to be seventy five thousand two hundred and seventeen ; and the whole number of votes for Lieutenant Governor to be seventy three thousand five hundred and nineteen .
Your Committee report, that a number of said returns appear to have been altered, either in the words or figures which give the number of votes, set against the name of each person—Nevertheless there is no reason to believe that said returns have been fraudulently altered; and they report, as their opinion, that they ought to remain on said schedule.
And your committee further report, that there is a return from the town of Sturbridge, in the county of Worcester; and a return from the town of Provincetown, in the county of Barnstable; and a return from the town of Ambury, in the county of Essex; and returns from the towns of Pittstown, New Sharon, Athens and Harmony, in the county of Kennebec; and a return from Ellsworth, in the county of Hancock; and a return from Addison, in the county of Washington; and a return from Brookline, in the county of Norfolk; and a return from Edgartown, in the county of Dukes County; which do not appear to be signed by any Town Clerk.
And your Committee report, That said lists, so returned, as aforesaid, are insufficient, and ought to be deducted from said schedule.
And your committee further report, That in the town of Illeboro, in the county of Hancock, there were given twelve votes for Caleb Strong, as governor;
And that in the plantation of Davistown, in the county of Hancock, there were given thirty votes for Caleb Strong, as Governor. As by the said lists may more fully appear; which votes were upon said schedule, set against the name of His Excellency CALEB STRONG; which ought to be taken from that column; and placed in two separate columns, so as to be counted with the scattering votes.
And that in the town of Lynn, in the county of Essex, there were given three hundred and fifty seven votes for James Sullivan, as Governor.
And that in the town of Otisfield, in the county of Chamberland, there were given twenty-seven votes for James Sullivan, as Governor, as by the said lists may more fully appear.
Which votes were set against the name of the Hon. James Sullivan, esq.; both which numbers ought to be taken from his column and placed in separate columns, and counted with other scattering votes.
That in the return of votes from the town of Belfast, in the county of Hancock, it is certified, that there were four votes given for governor, as "scattering" and four votes for Lieutenant Governor as "scattering" which are not entered on said schedule, but which ought to be entered in a separate column, under the title of "scattering;" and that in the return of votes from the town of Plympton, in the county of Plymouth, it is certified, that there were three votes given for Lieutenant Governor, as "scattering," which are not entered on said schedule, but which ought to be entered in a separate column, under the title of "scattering."
And your committee further report, That there is among said returns a list from the town of Parsonsfield, in the county of York, on the margin of which is written the words following, to wit: "N. B. by reason of the town clerk being sick, this was not sealed up in meeting;" but the committee are of opinion, that the words aforesaid are not in the hand writing of either of the selectmen or town clerk of Parsonsfield, and is no part of said return, but an interpolation thereon, and that same list ought to remain on said schedule.
And your committee further report, That it does not appear from the return or list sent from the town of Paxton, in the county of Worcester, when the meeting, at which said list was made, was holden, nor is there any date upon said paper, from whence it can be inferred when said meeting was holden, your committee
therefore report, That the said list ought to be rejected for the uncertainty thereof; and they further report, that it does not appear from the return or list of the town of Berwick, in the county of York, when the meeting, at which the said list was made, was holden, and ought for that reason, to be rejected from said schedule.
And they further report, that there are two papers purporting to be lists or returns, both of which are made and returned by the same selectmen and same town clerk, from the town of Newbedford, in the county of Bristol, and as the said lists contain different candidates who were voted for as Governor, and it cannot, from said lists, be certainly known which is the true or which is the false list, the same ought, for the uncertainty aforesaid, to be rejected from said schedule.
And your committee further report, that there are among said lists or returns, two papers, purporting to be returns or lists from the town of Troy, in the county of Bristol, made and returned by two different sets of selectmen and town clerks; and your committee report, that the list or return made and returned by Jonathan Brownell, Abraham Bowen, and Elijah Blossom, jun. Selectmen of Troy, and Benjamin Brightman, town clerk, is the return from the town of Troy, and ought to be added to said schedule.
And your committee report, That when said schedule shall be rectified and amended as aforesaid, the whole number of votes for Governor will be 73,410, and that 36,706 will be necessary to make a choice. That no person has a majority of votes for Governor.
That His Excellency Caleb Strong, esq. who had 36,692; the Hon. James Sullivan, esq. who had 36,031; James Sullivan, esq. who had 357 votes; and the Hon. Wm. Heath, esq. who had 85 votes are the four persons who had the highest number of votes, are the candidates for the office of Governor.
And your committee report, That when said schedule shall be rectified and amended as aforesaid, the whole number of votes for Lieutenant Governor, will then be seventy one thousand eight hundred and seven.—Necessary to make a choice—thirty five thousand nine hundred and four.
That the Hon. William Heath has thirty six thousand eight hundred and eighty, for Lieutenant Governor, and is chosen.
Lastly, your committee state that they have considered the petitions and remonstrances from the several towns of Canton and Medfield, in the county of Norfolk; Topham, in the county of Lincoln; Plymouth, in the county of Plymouth; Alfred, in the county of York; Barnstable, in the county of Barnstable; and of New-Bedford, in the county of Bristol; which were committed to them with the several documents which accompanied the same, and your committee report, that it is inexpedient for the Legislature to take any further order thereon.
The report being read, Mr. Titcomb, chairman of the committee, observed, that he considered the third letter in the sur-name of the 12 votes from Illeboro, a blotted r, and that the name was Stron.
Mr. Otis rose and observed, that investigation was necessary for the Members of the Senate to determine for themselves the correctness of the facts and deduction; and moved that 4 o'clock should be assigned for the consideration, of the report.
Mr. Dana moved, that the consideration should be commenced, and such parts only postponed as gentlemen should say they wished for further light upon. Mr. Howe was in favor of this motion. But it was replied, that without examination it was difficult to know what to oppose and what to admit. Mr. Hill was in favor of proceeding with a discussion.
Mr. Phillips said, as the question was, whether the Legislature should choose a Governor, or confirm the choice of the People—it was proper that the Legislators should proceed with caution and delicacy, in ascertaining that this was a case in which that power devolved upon them.—He moved, that to-morrow, [this day,] 10 o'clock, be assigned for taking up the report. Negatived—Yeas 19, nays 20.
A motion for 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, was then put, and carried—yeas 21, nays 18.

Mr. Smith moved that the returns should be returned to the custody of the committee; but this motion was superceded by a motion that they should be placed in the hands of the clerk for the inspection of the members.
AFTERNOON.
The Senate met at 5 o'clock, and took into consideration the report of the committee on the vote for Governor.
Mr. Howe moved the acceptance of the report.
Mr. Otis moved it should be read in portions; and the President proceeded to read it so accordingly.
When the part which relates to the votes of Isleborough was read. Mr. Gore moved, that the votes of Caleb Stoon (or Caleb Strong, as he was convinced it was) should be taken from the scattered votes and placed in the column for Caleb Strong. On this question the yeas were 19, nays 20. All the federal members voting in the affirmative, and all the democratic members in the negative. A similar vote was taken on the votes of Davistown for Caleb Strong, and decided by the same votes.
Previous to these questions being taken, Mr. Titcomb read a list of 31 instances wherein Mr. Sullivan's name was variously misspelt, and yet the votes were placed in the column under the name of that gentleman. The number of votes in these cases were 19-20.
Mr. Otis then remarked, that as gentlemen appeared willing to reject returns for an incorrectness of a letter in spelling, he moved that the votes of the plantation of Davistown, should be altogether rejected, they being returned for "Davistown, in the county of Hancock," and there being no county of that name. Negatived-19-20.
When the paragraph respecting Belfast was read, Mr. Bliss moved, that the "scattered" votes should be rejected. Negatived-19-20.
Mr. Phillips moved that the votes for James Sullivan in Lynn, should be placed in Mr. Sullivan's column. Negatived-19-20.
Mr. Otis moved that the return from Parsonsfield, should be rejected, it appearing on the face thereof not to have been sealed up according to the constitution.
This motion was superceded by a motion to adjourn, which was carried, and the Senate adjourned about 9 o'clock, after several motions to adjourn previously made had been unsuccessful. The report will be resumed this morning.
There was considerable debate on the several motions. They were advocated by Messrs. Gore, Otis, Titcomb, Phillips, of S. Brigham, and Bliss—and opposed by Messrs. Dana, Hill and Ulmer.
IN SENATE, Friday, June 6.
Mr. Otis's motion respecting the return from Parsonsfield, was again debated. This paper it appeared contained a memorandum, as stated in the report of the committee; with the suggestion that this memorandum was an interpolation. It was therefore moved, that Mr. Marston, the Representative of Parsonsfield, who is also a selectman of the town, be called in and sworn, touching the facts, that the Truth might be ascertained. The question to call in Mr. Marston, was negatived, Yeas 19. Nays 19. The President (Mr. Bacon) decided the question in the negative! The question to accept the report of the committee, allowing this list to continue on the schedule, was carried. Yeas 20. Nays 19.
The debate has been unusually animated and interesting. The injustice of the report, and the inconsistencies of its advocates, have been ably demonstrated by Messrs. Otis, Gore, Bliss, Bigelow, Brigham, Starkweather, and others. The report has been advocated by Messrs. Dana, Hill, Hovey and Maynard.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENTS.
WISCASSET, JUNE 5.
On Monday afternoon, the 26th ult. as a sail-boat was going from this place to Boothbay, with three men, viz. Mr. J. Boynton, of this town, a Mr. Hanley, of Warren, and a Mr. Martin Coffin—he was upset, and the last mentioned person was drowned. They all clung to the boat for 2 or 3 hours, when they were taken off, with much difficulty, by a Mr. Rowe and two boys, in a small canoe, and carried to Five-Islands. These persons were so fatigued with performing this daring attempt (the sea running very high at the time) were about to give up the hopes of saving their drowning fellow-creatures, when fortunately a Mr. Soley came to their assistance in another small canoe. They all persevered in getting them on shore; after which they made up a fire in the woods, (there being no house on the island) and sent the boys after some blankets, &c.; but before this could be done, Coffin was so far gone as to be past recovery. They then turned their attention to the other two, and with persevering exertions, so far recovered them that they came up to town the next day. They were much bruised and hurt, being obliged to land on a rocky shore, and the sea
running violently. Coffin was brought up to town and decently buried on Wednesday last. He has parents living in Waterborough, county of York.
On Tuesday morning last, a sailor belonging to the English ship Caledonia, was drowned by the sinking of a gondola. His body has not yet been found.
On the same day a Mr. Symmes was killed between Warren and Union, by the wheel of a loaded team passing over his head.
And on the afternoon before, a boat with two men and two women in it, was upset in the middle of the channel in the harbor; but fortunately they were all saved. What is a little remarkable is, that the abovementioned English sailor was one of the most active in rescuing the last mentioned persons from drowning.
The Gazette.
MONDAY, June 9, 1806.
Miranda's Expedition.....Accounts from Curacao, of May 6, state that Miranda has been frustrated in his attempt to revolutionize the Spanish Main—two vessels laden with ammunition, and 60 of his men, had fallen into the hands of the Spaniards—that after an engagement with a Spanish brig, he escaped by cutting his cables—he then proceeded to Jacquetmel to solicit assistance from the blacks, but could not obtain any.
From Europe.....Capt. Armstrong, arrived at Boston from Leghorn, informs it was expected (17th April) that a proclamation would soon be received there, prohibiting the importation of all articles of the growth or manufacture of Great Britain; and that the port would be blockaded by the British.
The new order of things.
THE democrats begin to prophesy the benefits that will result to the state from the reign of democracy, one of which is already manifest—it consists in their manner of conducting the public business. When the administration of the government was committed to the federalists, the organization of the several branches was effected in three or four days: the present legislature, with a democratic majority in the house and senate, have been in session ten days and the election of a governor is not yet declared, altho' it is known Mr. Strong is elected by the votes of the people; but the state is put to an expense of upwards of twelve thousand dollars, in discovering trifling informality in the returns, in order to defeat the election of Mr. Strong. How far the people will relish such benefits, time will determine.
THE answer to the old question, who shall be governor, will be found in the report of the committee for examining the returns of votes for governor. It will be seen that after rejecting the votes of several towns, the report states,
The whole number allowed 73,410 Necessary to make a choice 36,706 His ex'cy. Caleb Strong had 36,692 Wanting to make a choice, 14
The votes in the towns of Newbedford, Berwick and Paxton, were rejected. The votes in these towns stood thus: for gov. Strong 535, for Mr. Sullivan 360.
The report respecting the governor, will undoubtedly be accepted, in that case the election will devolve upon the legislature, and Mr. Sullivan will be the successful candidate.
