LAW OF THE U. STATES.
(BY AUTHORITY.)
AN ACT
For establishing rules and articles for the gov- ernment of the army of the U. States.
(CONTINUED)
Article 34. If any officer shall think himself wronged by his colonel, or the commanding of- ficer of the regiment, and shall, upon due ap- plication being made to him, be refused redress, he may complain to the general, commanding in the state, or territory where such regiment shall be stationed, in order to obtain justice; who is hereby required to examine into the said com- plaint, and take proper measures for redressing the wrong complained of, and transmit as soon as possible, to the department of war, a true state of such complaint, with the proceedings had thereon.
Article 35. If any inferior officer, or soldier, shall think himself wronged by his captain, or other officer, he is to complain thereat to the commanding officer of the regiment, who is hereby required to summon a regimental court martial, for the doing justice to the complain- ant; from which regimental court martial, ei- ther party may, if he thinks himself still ag- grievd, appeal to a general court martial. But if, upon a second hearing, the appeal shall ap- pear vexatious and groundless, the person, so appealing, shall be punished at the discretion of the said court martial.
Article 36. Any commissioned officer, store keeper, or commissary, who shall be convicted, at a general court martial, of having sold, with- out a proper order for that purpose, embezzled, misapplied, or wilfully, or through neglect, suf- fered any of the provisions, forage, arms, cloth- ing, ammunition, or other military stores, be- longing to the United States, to be spoiled, or damaged, shall at his own expense, make good the loss, or damage, and shall moreover, forfeit all his pay, and be dismissed from the service.
Article 37. Any non-commissioned officer, or soldier, who shall be convicted, at a regimental court martial, of having sold, or designedly, or through neglect, wasted the ammunition deli- vered out to him, to be employed in the service of the United States, shall be punished at the dis- cretion of such court.
38. Every non commissioned officer or soldier, who shall be convicted before a court martial, as having sold, lost, or spoiled, through neglect, his horse, arms, clothes, or accoutrements, shall under such weekly stoppages (not exceeding the half of his pay) as such court martial shall judge sufficient, for repairing the loss or damage; and shall suffer confinement or such other corporeal punishment as his crime shall deserve.
Article 39. Every officer, who shall be convicted before a court martial, of having embezzled, or misapplied any money, with which he may have been entrusted for the payment of the men under his command, or for equiting men into the service, or for other purposes, if a com- missioned officer, shall be cashiered, and com- pelled to refund the money; if a non commission- ed officer, shall be reduced to the ranks, be put under stoppages until the money be made good, and suffer such corporeal punishment as such court martial shall direct.
Article 40. Every captain of a troop, or company, is charged with the arms, accou- trements, ammunition, clothing, or other warlike stores belonging to the troop, or company un- der his command, which he is to be accounta- ble for to his colonel, in case of their being lost, spoiled or damaged, not by unavoidable acci- dents, or on actual service.
Article 41. All non-commissioned officers and soldiers, who shall be found one mile from the camp, without leave, in writing, from their commanding officer, shall suffer such punish- ment as shall be inflicted upon them by the sen- tence of a court martial.

Article 43. Every non-commissioned officer and soldier shall retire to his quarters or tent, at the beating of the retreat; in default of which he shall be punished according to the nature of his offence.
Article 44. No officer, non-commissioned of- ficer, or soldier, shall fail in repairing, at the time fixed, to the place of parade, or exercise or other rendezvous, appointed by his command- ing officer, if not prevented by sickness, or some other evident necessity; or shall go from the said place of rendezvous, without leave from his commanding officer, before he shall be re- gularly dismissed or relieved, on the penalty of being punished according to the nature of his offence by the sentence of a court martial.
Article 45. Any commissioned officer who shall be found drunk on his guard, party, or other duty, shall be cashiered. Any non-com- missioned officer or soldier so offending, shall
suffer such corporeal punishment as shall be in- flicted by the sentence of a court martial.
Article 46. Any centinel who shall be found sleeping upon his post, or shall leave it before he shall be regularly relieved, shall be death, or such other punishment as shall be inflicted by the sentence of a court martial.
Article 47. No soldier belonging to any re- giment, troop, or company, shall use another to do his duty for him, or be excused from duty, but in cases of sickness, disability, or leave of absence; and every such soldier found guilty of hiring his duty, as also the party so hired to do another's duty, shall be punished at the dis- cretion of a regimental court martial.
Article 48. And every non-commissioned of- ficer conniving at such hiring of duty aforesaid, shall be reduced; and every commissioned of- ficer, knowing and allowing such ill practices in the service, shall be punished by the judg- ment of a general court martial.
Article 49. Any officer belonging to the ser- vice of the United States, who, by mischarging of fire arms, drawing of swords, bearing of drums, or by any other means whatsoever, shall occa- sion false alarms in camp, garrison, or quarters, shall suffer death, or such other punishment as shall be ordered by the sentence of a general court martial.

Article 52. Any officer or soldier, who shall misbehave himself before the enemy, run away, or shamefully abandon any fort, post, or guard, which he or they may be commanded to defend, or speak words inducing others to do the like; or shall cast away his arms and accoutrements, or who shall quit his post or colours to plunder and pillage, every such offender being duly convict- ed thereof, shall suffer death, or such other pun- ishment as shall be ordered by the sentence of a general court martial.
Article 53. Any person belonging to the ar- mies of the U. States, who shall make known the watch word to any person who is not entit- led to receive it, according to the rules and discipline of war, or shall presume to give a par- ole or watch-word, different from what he re- ceived, shall suffer death, or such other punish- ment as shall be ordered by the sentence of a general court martial.
Article 54. All officers and soldiers, are to be- have themselves orderly in quarters, and on their march; and whosoever shall commit any waste or spoil, either in walks of trees, parks, warrens, fish ponds, houses or gardens, corn- fields, inclosures of meadows, or shall malicious- ly destroy any property whatsoever, belonging to the inhabitants of the United States, unless by order of the then commander in chief of the ar- mies of the said States, shall (besides such pen- alties as they are liable to by law) be punished according to the nature and degree of the of- fence, by the judgment of a regimental or gen- eral court martial.
Article 55. Whosoever, belonging to the ar- mies of the U. States, employed in foreign parts, shall force a safe guard, shall suffer death.

Article 58. All public stores taken in the en- emy's camp, towns, forts, or magazines, wheth- er of artillery, ammunition, clothing, forage or provisions, shall be secured for the service of the U. States; for the neglect of which the com- manding officer is to be answerable.
Article 59. If any commander of any garri- son, fortress or post, shall be compelled, by the officers and soldiers under his command, to give up to the enemy, or to abandon it, the commis- sioned officers, non-commissioned officers or sol- diers, who shall be convicted of having so offend- ed, shall suffer death, or such other punishment as shall be inflicted upon them by the sentence of a court martial.
Article 60. All sutlers and retailers to the camp, and all persons whatsoever, serving with the armies of the U. States in the field, though not enlisted soldiers, are to be subject to orders, according to the rules and discipline of war.
Article 61. Officers having brevets, or com- missions, of a prior date to those of the regiment in which they serve, may take place in courts

martial and on detachments, when composed of different corps, according to the ranks given them in their respective corps, or in their respective companies; but in the regiment, troops, or company, to which such officers belong, they shall do duty and take rank, both in courts martial and on detachments, which shall be composed only of their own corps, according to the commissions by which they are mustered in the said corps.
Article 62. If upon marches, guards, or in quarters, different corps of the army shall happen to join, or do duty together, the officer highest in rank of the line of the army, marine corps, or militia, by commission there, on duty, or in quarters, shall command the whole, and give orders for what is needful to the service, unless otherwise specially directed by the President of the United States according to the nature of the case.
Article 63. The functions of the engineers being generally confined to the most elevated branch of military science, they are not to assume, nor are they subject to be ordered on any duty beyond the line of their immediate profession, except by the special order of the President of the U. States, but they are to receive every mark of respect, to which their rank in the army may entitle them respectively, and are liable to be transferred at the discretion of the President, from one corps to another, regard being paid to rank.
Article 64. General courts martial may consist of any number of commissioned officers from five to thirteen, inclusively, but they shall not consist of less than thirteen, where that number can be convened, without manifest injury to the service.
Article 65. Any general officer commanding an army, or colonel commanding a separate department may appoint general courts martial whenever necessary. But no sentence of a court martial shall be carried into execution until after the whole proceedings shall have been laid before the officer ordering the same, or the officer commanding the troops for the time being; neither shall any sentence of a general court martial, in time of peace, extending to the loss of life, or the dismissal of a commissioned officer, or shall, either in time of peace or war, respecting a general officer, be carried into execution, until after the whole proceedings shall have been transmitted to the secretary of war, to be laid before the President of the U. S. for his confirmation or disapproval and orders in the case. All other sentences may be confirmed and executed by the officer ordering the court to assemble, or the commanding officer for the time being, as the case may be.
Article 66. Every officer commanding a regiment, or troop, may appoint for his own regiment, or corps, courts martial, to consist of three commissioned officers, for the trial and punishment of offences, not capital, and decide upon their sentences. For the same purpose all officers commanding any of the garrisons, forts, barracks, or other places where the troops consist of different corps, may assemble courts martial, to consist of three commissioned officers, and decide upon their sentences.
Article 67. No garrison, or regimental court martial shall have the power to try capital cases, or commissioned officers; neither shall they inflict a fine exceeding one month's pay, nor imprisonment, nor put to hard labor, any non-commissioned officer or soldier, for a longer time than one month.
Article 68. Whenever it may be found convenient and necessary to the public service, the officers of the marine shall be associated with the officers of the land forces, for the purpose of holding courts martial and trying offenders belonging to either; and in such cases the orders of the senior officers of either corps who may be present and duly authorized, shall be received and obeyed.
Article 69. The judge advocate, or some person deputed by him, or by the general or officer commanding the army, detachment or garrison, shall prosecute in the name of the U. S. but shall so far consider himself as counsel for the prisoner, after the said prisoner shall have made his plea, as to object to any leading question to any of the witnesses, or any question to the prisoner, the answer to which might tend to criminate himself; and administer to each member of the court before they proceed upon any trial the following oath, which shall also be taken by all members of the regimental and garrison court martial.
"You A. B. do swear that you will well and truly try and determine according to evidence, the matter now before you between the U. S. of America, and the prisoner to be tried, and that you will duly administer justice, according to the provisions of "An act establishing rules and articles for the government of the armies of the U. States," without partiality, favor or affection; and if any doubt shall arise, not explained by said articles, according to your conscience, the best of your understanding, and the custom of war, in like cases; and you do further swear, that you will not divulge the sentence of the court until it shall be published by the proper authority; neither will you disclose or discover the vote or opinion of any particular member of the court martial, unless required to give evidence thereof as a witness, by a court of justice, in a due course of law. So help you God. "
And as soon as the said oath shall have been administered to the respective members, the president of the court shall administer to the judge advocate, or person officiating as such, an oath in the following words:
"You A. B. do swear, that you will not disclose or discover the vote or opinion of any particular member of the court martial, unless required to give evidence thereof as a witness, by a court of justice in due course of law. Nor divulge the sentence of the court to any but the proper authority, until it shall be duly disclosed by the same. So help you God. "
Article 70. When any prisoner arraigned before a general court martial shall, from obsequious
and deliberate design, stand mute or answer foreign to the purpose, the court may proceed to trial and judgment as if the prisoner had regularly pleaded not guilty.
Article 71. When a member shall be challenged by a prisoner, he must state his cause of challenge, of which the court shall, after due deliberation determine the relevancy or validity, and determine accordingly; and no challenge to more than one member at a time shall be received by the court.
Article 72. All the members of a court martial are to behave with decency and calmness; and in giving their votes, are to begin with the youngest in commission.
Article 73. All persons who give evidence before a court martial, are to be examined on oath or affirmation in the following form:
"You swear or affirm (as the case may be) the evidence you shall give in the case now in hearing, shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So help you God. "
Article 74. On the trials of cases not capital, before courts martial, the deposition of witnesses not in the line or staff of the army, may be taken before some justice of the peace, and read in evidence; provided, the prosecutor and person accused are present at the taking the same, or are duly notified thereof.
Article 75. No officer shall be tried but by a general court martial, nor by officers of an inferior rank, if it can be avoided. Nor shall any proceedings or trials be carried on excepting between the hours of eight in the morning, and three in the afternoon, excepting in cases, which, in the opinion of the officer appointing the court martial, require immediate example.
Article 76. No person whatsoever, shall use any menacing words, signs, or gestures, in presence of a court martial, or shall cause any disorder or riot, or disturb their proceedings, on the penalty of being punished at the discretion of the said court martial.
Article 77. Whenever any officer shall be charged with a crime, he shall be arrested and confined in his barracks, quarters, or tents, and deprived of his sword, by the commanding officer. And any officer who shall leave his confinement before he shall be set at liberty by his commanding officer, or by a superior officer, shall be cashiered.
Article 78. Non commissioned officers and soldiers, charged with crimes, shall be confined until tried by a court martial or released by proper authority.
Article 79. No officer or soldier who shall be put in arrest, shall continue in confinement more than eight days, or until such time as a court martial can be assembled.
Article 80. No officer commanding a guard, or provost martial, shall refuse to receive or keep any prisoner committed to his charge, by an officer belonging to the forces of the United States; provided the officer committing, shall, at the same time, deliver an account in writing, signed by himself, of the crime with which the said prisoner is charged.
Article 81. No officer commanding a guard, or provost martial, shall presume to release any person committed to his charge, without proper authority for so doing, nor shall he suffer any person to escape, on the penalty of being punished for it by the sentence of a court martial.
Article 82. Every officer, or provost marshal, to whose charge prisoners shall be committed, shall within twenty-four hours after such commitment, or as soon as he shall be relieved from his guard, make report in writing, to the commanding officer, of their names, their crimes, and the names of the officers who committed them, on the penalty of being punished for disobedience or neglect, at the discretion of a court martial.
Article 83. Any commissioned officer convicted before a general court martial of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, shall be dismissed the service.
Article 84. In cases where a court martial may think it proper to sentence a commissioned officer to be suspended from command, they shall have power also to suspend his pay and emoluments for the same time, according to the nature and heinousness of the offence.
Article 85. In all cases where a commissioned officer is cashiered for cowardice or fraud, it shall be added in the sentence, that the crime, name, and place of abode and punishment of the delinquent, be published in the newspapers in and about the camp, and of the particular state from which the offender came, or where he usually resides, after which it shall be deemed scandalous for an officer to associate with him.
Article 86. The commanding officer of any post or detachment, in which there shall not be a number of officers adequate to form a general court martial, shall, in cases which require the cognizance of such a court, report to the commanding officer of the department who shall order a court to be assembled at the nearest post or detachment, and the party accused, with necessary witnesses, to be transported to the place where the said court shall be assembled.
Article 87. No person shall be sentenced to suffer death, but by the concurrence of two thirds of a general court martial, nor except in the cases herein expressly mentioned; nor shall more than fifty lashes be inflicted on any offender, at the discretion of a court martial, and no officer, non-commissioned officer, soldier, or follower of the army, shall be tried a second time for the same offence.
Article 88. No person shall be liable to be tried and punished by a general court martial for any offence which shall appear to have been committed more than two years before the issuing of the order for such trial, unless the person by reason of having absented himself or some other manifest impediment shall not have been amenable to justice within that period.
Article 89. Every officer authorized to order a general court martial shall have power to pardon or mitigate any punishment ordered by such court except the sentence of death, or of cashiering an officer; which in the cases where he has
authority (by article 65) to carry them into execution he may suspend until the pleasure of the President of the United States can be known; which suspension together with copies of the proceedings of the court martial, the said officer shall immediately transmit to the President for his determination. And the colonel or commanding officer of the regiment or garrison where any regimental or garrison court martial shall be held may pardon or mitigate any punishment ordered by such court to be inflicted.

BY THE LAST MAILS.
PHILADELPHIA, June 6.
Arrived, yesterday, ship Jupiter, Hartley, from Liverpool—on the 27th was boarded by the Leander, Whitby, who pressed from on board the Jupiter, John Thomas, born in New-York, and had a protection; and put on board in his stead, a Spaniard, prisoner of war, taken 4 months ago, bound from Laguira for Cadiz. The Spaniard was on board the Leander at the time of the murder of Pierce, and says the ship is again bound on a cruise of New-York.
NEW YORK, June 9.
Masacre at Cape Francois.
We learn from captain Dodge, of the Schooner Mary-Ann, who arrived here yesterday, in 16 days from Cape Francois, that on the 14th and 15th of May, a general Masacre of all the remaining white inhabitants of Cape Francois took place, and it was said generally, throughout that part of this ill-fated Island under the dominion of Dessalines.
The particulars of this tragical event are briefly these:
Some time previous to the 14th of May, the greater part of the white French inhabitants of Cape Francois were ordered, under some pretence to a fort about 3 leagues from the town, and there confined. On the night of the 14th the residue of these unfortunate people, amounting to about 150, were strangled in their beds, by order of the emperor; the blood-thirsty villains, not content with this, plunged their bayonets in their bodies—mangling them in a horrid manner. They then plundered the houses of those unfortunate people, who had thus fallen victims to the avarice and cruelty of the black emperor—On the 15th it was reported at the Cape, that those of the inhabitants that had been sent to the fort, had been put to death in the most cruel manner, and their bodies treated with the greatest indignity.
BOSTON, June 2.
The news from England is to the second of May. It appears that Austria has permitted the passage of the French to Dalmatia, through the German territory: There cannot therefore be a new war between Austria & France. On the other hand, there seems to be a perfect understanding amongst all the continental powers, except Sweden and Russia, and they must be quiet.
Those who know any thing of history, know that the Hanoverian connection in Holland and Germany has been the true cause of many wars in Europe during the last century. But "blessed are the peace makers"—there has not been a single important measure taken by the French government, which has not been preceded by an offer of peace to the world;—and this from their many acknowledgements of American independence in 1778, to the last offer to the British government on this subject, after the victory of Austerlitz and the peace of Presburg.
Every thing the British now do, finds a ready excuse in the deceptive idea of its necessity to their "self-preservation." They seize on American commerce without even a porter's salutation of—by your leave gentlemen. They blockade by proclamation—they impress our fellow-citizens with or without protections, by thousands—they murder by system in our own waters, and call it chance —and they arrest and detain every vessel bound to any port of Europe, of the impediments to which no person in America could have had the least intimation.
When a man reads a British newspaper, it is precisely as if he saw the sun through a cloud. He knows it is somewhere, but in what point of the horizon he cannot ascertain. It is just so with the truth through the foul medium of the British press. We know it exists;—but how, when or where—time, place or circumstance, it is impossible to determine.
Chronicle.
PRUSSIA vs. BRITAIN.
Those who are accustomed to read the Centinel and other federal papers, and to remember what they read, will not fail to recollect the very sanguine and extravagant expectations which were lately formed by the writers in those papers from the intervention of Prussia in favor of England.—That is, in favor of the most imposing, insulting, blood-stained aristocracy, artificial and not natural, self-created and not created, which has ever disturbed the repose of the world—But Prussia, unhappily for this British aristocracy, this government of a few monopolizing families, who modestly take all the honors and benefits of their country in their own hands, and leave the poorer and middling classes in the most wretched situation, Prussia has chosen a wiser part. She has done that in taking possession of Hanover, for the sake of peace upon the continent of Europe, which this same British government has invariably done, and would have continued to have done, in every case and on every occasion, from the conquest of Wales, Scotland and Ireland, to the projected subjugation of these independent and happy states. States which were with such difficulty wrested from her rapacious and intolerable grasp. Prussia has most wisely preferred the useful and honorable place of being the second power in Europe, to that of having become the miserable subsidiary and unhappy victim of British intrigue; and for the most politic measure, the venal editors of the most corrupted presses in Europe, now vent the effusions of national spleen against this identical monarch, who, but a few months since, was tempted by the British cabinet not only with Hanover, but with Holland, or any other country he might with to have! Who was then told he might cut and carve as he liked!! Friend or foe, any thing or every thing in the power of this very Britain to help him to, if he would only stand in their way, cover them with his power, and annihilate the French army in Germany, that they might become sovereign and supreme on the ocean! While the mild and inoffensive Russians, with Suwarrows and other good christians at their head, were to revive the golden age in the South of Europe!
This was the plan which the British cabinet had matured and had nearly brought to completion. This was the chorus of the song lately so popular in the theatres of Covent Garden and Drury Lane, written it is said by Mr. Sheridan. So that Britannia might rule the waves, no matter who was to govern ashore: Paul or Suwarrows, Alexander or even his infernal highness himself, could he be only suffered to transfer his iron sceptre to this nether world. Yet with all these facts before our eyes, we are now gravely told in an American paper, that Prussia is the most venal, corrupt and degraded nation in Europe, when it is notorious that she is now infinitely more powerful than ever, and will undoubtedly soon become more formidable in arts and arms, than even she now is; for it is very well known that this same Prussia, is one of the governments which has most warmly vindicated the liberty of commerce on all occasions. It is impossible to know precisely what Prussia has gained by her treaty with France:—But we have a right to suppose that Hamburg and all the hanse towns will solicit her powerful aid, and that a new and formidable maritime establishment will be formed in

Europe, which will consult its own interests, and will not be the dupe of British sophistry and the pernicious speculations of financial swindlers.—The scheme of the universal blockade, like the Middlesex stone wall at the battle of Lexington, has two sides.—If the British block up the trade of the continent they must inevitably block out their own. The truth is, they have now no nation to trade with but America, no friend on earth but this country. And if we submit to England, we may have the comfort of being at war with all the rest of Europe.— Ibid.
Late letters from London, state, that in consequence of the severe measures which France has adopted to prevent the importation in neutral, as well as other bottoms, of English goods in the north as well as south of Europe, it was conjectured the new British administration would be necessitated, from self-preservation to declare every port from Venice in the Adriatic, to Hambourgh, in a state of blockade; to cover the seas with cruisers, and to take measures to prevent the supply of a single pound of coffee, sugar, cotton, &c. to any of the dominions under the power or influence of France. This measure will it is said, be very rigidly executed;—and will unquestionably be justified by those who justify the French measure. Mr. Munroe had been officially notified of the blockade of the Ems, Weser, Elbe and Trave. A great number of neutral vessels, bound to and from the ports under the French rule, among which are twenty-six Americans, have recently been sent into England. Some of whom however had been released.
NEWPORT.
FRIDAY JUNE 19, 1806.
Last Saturday, the General Assembly of this State, completed their June session, which they commenced the Tuesday previous, in this town. The principal part of their time was spent in trying private petitions.—Several members presented instructions from their towns, requiring them to use their influence, to induce the Assembly to call a Convention, for the purpose of framing a Constitution (and not a new Constitution as stated in the last Mercury) for this State.
There is a report in town, that the king of Prussia has been assassinated. We are unable to say what credit is due to it.
The scandalous and peulant declaration in the last Mercury, relative to the Massachusetts election, shall be answered in our next, by extracts from the proceedings in the Senate of that State, and other documents which will show that the turpitude and inconsistency which the Mercury charges upon the Republicans, ought to have been set to the account of federalism.
After all the whining of the Mercury about the preservation of the rights of the people, (which by the by is a new song, which it has but lately sung) it is evident that the federal members in the Assembly, who voted to send back the choice of Governor to the people, instead of wishing to preserve the rights of the people, intended thereby to establish a precedent whereby they might claim the rights of the people, and by degrees make a constitution for them. One of the federal members last May, in debating upon this question, to wit, whether the choice of Governor should be sent back to the people, unwarily declared, that the rights of the people as it respected choosing Governor for the present year, had lapsed to the Assembly, and that by returning the choice to them again the Assembly would restore to them a right, which unfortunately they had lost. Some of his federal friends rose and checked him, and he sat down not a little confused.—These fellow-citizens, are the men, who of late talk so much about the preservation of the rights of the people. Who is so blind that he does not see that the measure they have proposed, has a direct tendency to undermine those rights?
The Mercury seems to think it very strange, that the legislature should refuse to send the choice of Governor back to the people. Would it not likewise think it strange, if the legislature were to refuse to make a Constitution for the State, if one of the honorable members from Newport should make a motion to that effect. Certainly the legislature has as good a right to make a Constitution for the people, without their requesting it; and to undertake to force it upon them, as they have to command the people to choose a governor, at any other time than that prescribed in the Charter.
The Mercury insinuates that the leading Republicans of this State, are not only afraid, but have actually refused to trust the people with the exercise of their elective franchise. This is a falsehood as it is notorious. In what case have the legislature at this State withheld from the people their elective franchise? Let the Mercury name a single instance.
The President of the United States arrived at Washington City from Monticello, on Saturday the 7th inst.
Hugh Lexon, Esq. of Philadelphia, has arrived at Kingston, Jamaica, and entered upon the duties of his official appointment, as agent for the protection of American Seamen.
The Hon. Theophilus Parsons, has accepted the office of chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, of the State of Massachusetts, and been qualified to perform the duties thereof.
At the last term of the Superior Court, in Grafton county, (N. H.) Josiah Burnham, was found guilty of the murder of Joseph Starkweather, jun. and Russell Freeman, Esq. Tuesday, the 15th July next, is the time appointed for his execution.
Capt. Sawyer, arrived at Boston in 41 days from Leghorn, furnishes the following communication:
“The blockade of Naples by the English is said to have been declared at Palermo and Messina on the 28th March. There were some apprehensions that the blockade of Leghorn would follow. The squadron off Sicily and Naples consists of 4 ships of the line, 10 frigates and 2 brigs.—The city of Gaeta opposed the entrance of the French, and is not yet taken; but besieged by them, and it is supposed would surrender. The Emperor Napoleon is soon expected at Rome, to be made King of the Romans. The pope to retire to Versailles on a pension. It is supposed the emperor will also make some changes in the government of Tuscany. A slight earth-quake was experienced at Leghorn on the afternoon of the 16th April.”
A Kingston (Jamaica) paper of the 10th ult. contains the following article:—“The force under the duke of Kent, mentioned some time since as being expected in the West-Indies, is reported to be destined against Carracas; and it is supposed, with good reason, that Miranda's expedition was fitted out under the auspices of Great-Britain.”
MARRIED—In this town, on Friday evening last, Capt. JACOB B. EARL, to Miss RHODA CARHOON, daughter of Mr. James Carhoon.—On Sunday evening last, Mr. WILLIAM N. S. ALLEN, jun. to Miss MERITA BEECH, daughter of Mr. Benjamin Church, of this town.

POETRY.
TO CARE.
Written at the age of 18...published in 1800, in the AMERICAN FARMER.
HAIL! zea of pleasure (pepper'd fauce—no worfe) Thou art indeed like wormwood, but no curfe; 'Tis fect, I will attend, though critics growl; Thou'rt not indeed, fo pleafant quite, as cuftard, But who'd difpenfe with pepper, ginger, muftard, Because, forfooth, they make an infant fowl?
Who would not fmile, to hear a fon of duft, (Lamenting fore that fome o'erwhelming guft Had fwept his crop) thus Providence befeech; "Let Sol's bright rays in ceafelefs radiance pour
"Upon my corn—let wind and rain no more, "In hostile ftorm, my growing barley reach."
Reader, fuppofe fome wight (no matter who, The thing is poffible—'tis common too) Should thus lament, in bitternefs of foul: "How fweet this profpect, how fublime, how grand! "Twould feem like fome enchanted fairy land, "But yon huge mountain (curfe it) fpoils the whole!"
"The man's a fool!" thou fayeft—be it fo, Thou art the man, my friend, for ought I know, Thou'rt on my confcience, fir, I meant no harm; Perhaps thou ne'er haft urg'd thy folemn prayer, That Heaven from thee would drive unpleafant Care, And place thee where no anxious tho'ts alarm.
As when a veft, with propitious gales, O'er Ocean's vail expanfe, unfurls her fails, Each day rolls on, a dull, inipid round; Anon the awful tempeft loudly roars, While through the gloom the rushing torrent pours, And mournful cries augment the horrid found!
But fave in port arriv'd all danger flown, With added fplendor Mirth resumes her throne, The paff adventure wakes the loud to bufs; With double relish Toaft tips round the bowl, Jack fondly meets the idol of his foul, Fair Care adds pleafure to the greeting kifs.
"Begone dull Care," mifaken mortals cry— "Far from our breaffs to other regions fly, "Let fote repote upon our bofom's reft." From vexing Care the four milanthrope flowers, To gloomy fhades, and feenes of fauited cafe, And vents th'effufions of his fpleen-frack breaff.
From thee, O Care! (as tho' thou wert a ghost) The tipling gentry to the tavern puft, And down their tenfes and their reafon there; Behind the fhield of Bacchus, from thy face, The thoughtlefs drankard feeks a hiding place, And makes himfelf a beaft to banish Care!
Why fhrieks the mortal, frightened, from thy view? Thou art not always comely it is true, But till thy form I never wish to than; To what e'er feaft of mortal blifs I look, I fee thee acting as the foremoft cook, Where thou art not, all true enjoyment's done.
E'en childhood has its Care; the fportive throng, Strive who plays beft, who's nimbleft, who mock E'en here ambition actuates the mind; Oft ripe age they act—(who not its vice!) One turns a fcholar—one a beaft, fo nice; And oft, e'en here, we may inftruction find.
The youth, afcending from his childifh fport, On manhood's verge, to riper years his court— Surveys his breaff, and finds a vacancy there; The object found, no obstacles control, But ferve to fan the ardor of his foul, He loves and rushes on a wotld of Care!
Arriv'd at manhood's prime, true blifs is found, The greateft fweeteft Cares of life furround, A tender offpring claims the foftering hand; Here all is centred! here the grand purfuit, "To reach the young idea how to thoot," And bid the mind's progressive power expand.
For what to man, was reafon's treafure given, Why was he made the noblest work of Heaven, But to be active, and improve his mind? Who that could walk, would, like a reptile, creep? Who, that could think, would waffe his life in fleep? Or grovel, worm-like, to the earth confin'd?
The madman, ideot, and the untutor'd beaft, Of Care's vexations, furely feel the leaft, Yet who would with a lot fo low to thare? New thoughts, anxieties, defires and pain Attend each new enjoyment man attains; Fruition's but another name for Care.
When some pure ftream, obftructed, crooked, bubbling, Here flowing fmooth, there rocks its progrefs Flows, clear as cryftal, fweeter as vernal dew; Remove the rocks—a ftraighter courfe direct, Let it be fmooth—be all its bubbling check'd— When lo! a ftagnant naufeous ditch we view!
Thus flows the ftream of life; its varied courfe Now gently murmuring, now in torrents hoarfe, Oft intercepted by "perplexing Care;" This Care difpel— anxiety remove— The breaff is cold, the heart forgets to love— Life flaguates—pleafure vanifhes in air!
Then ceafe, ye fons of fiction, to pourtray
Care, with a wrinkled face, and hair like hay! On her no more, with rueful vifage fcare; I'll ftand her champion, 'gainft each fcrabbling elf; She is the fault of life—aye life itfelf— And death is nothing but the want of Care! LORENZO.
