Miscellany.
The Nile from CAIRO to DAMIETTA.
Extract of a Letter.
"On the 15th February, I went from Damietta in a Canjo, or boat, built for pleasure—A faithful Janissary, and an Arabian servant accompanied me, all well armed; a very necessary caution on the banks of the Damietta, where attacks are continual. "We left Boulac about one o'clock, with a serene sky, and a heat as temperate as one of the finest days of our spring. The inundation had been over about six weeks, and the waters of the Nile insensibly decreased. The current being rather slow, and north wind blowing, the men were obliged to take to their oars. Wheat and barley began to ripen. The Indian millet was a foot high; and the third crop of lucerne was springing. Cucumbers and water melons spread their branches over the river banks, and beans were almost ripe. The foliage of the trees were verdant, but differently tinted, and the orange and cotton were in flower. Such was the aspect of the country on the 15th of February. WATERS OF THE NILE."
"The waters of the Nile, lighter, softer, and more agreeable to the taste than any I know, greatly promote the health of the inhabitants. All antiquity acknowledges their excellence, and the people drink them with a kind of avidity, without ever being injured by the quantity. Being lightly impregnated with nitre, they are only a gentle aperient to those who take them to excess. CLIMATE."
"An ancient historian says that the Egyptians are the most healthy people on earth, which advantage they owe to the salubrity of the air, and temperature of the climate, which seldom varies. But Mr. Savary observes, that there is an unhealthy season in Egypt. From February until the end of May, the south winds blow at intervals, and load the atmosphere with a subtle dust (which makes breathing difficult) and drive before them pernicious exhalations. Sometimes the heat becomes insupportable, and the thermometer suddenly rises 12 degrees. The inhabitant calls this season Khamsin fifty, because these winds are most felt for fifty days, between Easter and Whit Sunday. It must not, however, be supposed that this wind, which in a few hours corrupts meat and animal substances, blows fifty days: Egypt would become a desert. It seldom blows 8 days together, and sometimes is only an impetuous whirlwind, which rapidly passes and injures only the traveller overtaken in the desert. These whirlwinds of sand have buried caravans and armies."
"Mr. Savary maintains, in opposition to Mr. Paw, and other modern authors, that the plague is not a native disorder of Egypt, but is commonly brought from Smyrna and the Turkish shores. It always stops in the month of June, or those who catch it then are always cured. Excess of heat and cold seems to be equally destructive of this dreadful contagion; winter kills it at Constantinople, and summer in Egypt—it seldom reaches the polar circle, and never passes the tropic."
"The European stands aghast with fear at the calamities it produces in Grand Cairo. This city is computed to contain from eight to nine hundred thousand inhabitants. They are so crowded that 200 citizens occupy less space than 30 at Paris. The streets are very narrow, and always full of people who crowd and jostle each other; and the passenger is sometimes obliged to wait several minutes before he can make his way. One person with the plague will communicate it to a hundred. The Mahometans die in their houses, public squares and streets, without one of them endeavouring to save himself. The Europeans who shut themselves up, and avoid communications, alone escape the general disaster."
"All do not die who are attacked, but I have been assured that the plague sometimes carried off 300,000 people from Grand Cairo. The Turks use no precaution to prevent the plague; they say it is a late; nor is quarantine performed at one single port."
ANTWERP.
THE port of Antwerp is to be repaired. The calculations of the expense make the sum necessary amount to four millions of livres. The bar by which the entrance is partly choked up will be removed, and ships of 50 guns. float there with equal ease and security. The harbour is to be entirely cleansed, and arsenals and docks for building a military navy are to be established. The French Government, is sensible of the importance of a safe harbour, situated 20 leagues from the sea. (Lond. pa.)
WASHINGTON, SEPT. 14.
We are informed that General Lingan, collector of this port, has resigned. This gentleman, who has been in public civil or military employment, these twenty six years, and who was a brave officer in the American revolution, was appointed by Mr. Adams, Marshall of the district of Columbia, but he is a firm federal character, was a friend to General Washington, and a supporter of his successor's administration which in the present wicked times, are considered causes sufficient for his being displaced. Thus he and many other worthy beloved, and highly respected characters, who, in times that tried men's souls flew not from danger, but leapt eager to the campaign of blood and death, have lived to the mortification of seeing, in the evening of arduous and useful lives their principles scorned, their merits and services unrequited, and noisy unlawful heirs sent to turn them out of their houses and homes. Can you read, if ever you had a virtuous and benevolent mind, can you ponder on these things and not feel constrained to indulge those generous feelings that send to the eye the tear of a virtuous indignation?—Repeal them, and remember these things go not unpunished of heaven.
We understand the office of collector of this port is at present of small profit. Had it been otherwise, some other person would have been appointed. We believe the mortification of being obliged to acknowledge as master, such a man as Albert Gallatin, was the principal cause of his resignation. BOSTON, SEPT. 25. We are desired to observe, for the information of Students, (and the notice is due, as a tribute of gratitude to the distinguished benefactors of the institution) that the very valuable Anatomical Collection, which have lately been presented by Doctor Nicholls, of London, through the hands of Ward Nichols Boylston, Esq. together with the large collection of the best and most useful Books in the Science, with which the latter gentleman has generously accompanied this donation, and to which he is continually making additions; and a number of elegant Italian Wax Illustrations of the various parts of the human body, procured with great labor and expense, and presented by Horatio Derby, Esq. of Salem, have greatly augmented the means of instruction in this seminary.
Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, AUG. 17. Letters from India express apprehensions of a new war there. A letter, dated from the head quarters of the Mysore army, December 15, says, "We expected that the defeat of Doodh-iah would have terminated our toils, but we are under orders to march against the Coffee Rajah; I do not know the entire occasion of hostilities; but, from the extraordinary natural and artificial defences of the country, and the extensive preparations of the enemy, we are to look for more than common hardships." A considerable degree of alarm pervaded our new conquests in India, by the intended introduction of Europe in laws into the Mysore; the British Government has, in consequence, deemed it necessary to declare, that the rights of fathers, and masters of families, as exercised by the Hindu and Mohomedan laws, are to be preserved.
TURIN, JULY 30.
The following proclamation has, in consequence of the late disturbances, been addressed by Generals Jourdan and Miele, to the French troops here in garrison:— "SOLDIERS, "You demanded your pay, and you have received it. Your grievances are at an end! and any further requisition of discontent, would be a crime which would draw upon you punishment by the French government. Disgust with guilty intentions are now digging the mine in which they hope to overwhelm you. Hear your leaders; bear the voice of honour! Hear Bonaparte, who, through us, thus addresses you. "Soldiers! be says, "whose courage has fixed the admiration of all Europe, who have acquired rights to the gratitude of your country—Soldiers! you have erred: Beware! but one step further—and you are rebels—enemies to the Republic. The army—the nation—have their eyes upon you. One step further—and you are dishonored! Your laurels are tarnished. You are no longer the children of your country. "Soldiers! we would gladly hope that this language will awake in your breasts, those sentiments of honor which have ever distinguished the soldiers of your country—that you will effect by future submission to your Chiefs, the remembrance of the events which are past; but had the spirit of insubordination proceeded to such lengths as to render other motives necessary, we should have said, Soldiers! recollect that in the 7th year of the Republic, the enemy took advantage of the disorders of our retreat, and the fields of Italy were deluged with the blood of your comrades in arms. The French government pardoned the leaders in that insurrection. Its generosity, however, could not command their gratitude. They still cherish a spirit of hatred and revenge against the French. They are even now, almost ready to carry into effect their guilty purpose. "Soldiers! while you are ready to rise in arms against your commanders, they are, on the other hand, watchful for your good. The greatest dangers now surround you. A great conspiracy is formed against you. The conspirators know, that in union with your chief, you are invincible. They excite you to insurrection, and search the moment to assist your officers, with all the agents and the friends of the French government. They will then attack you; when, without leaders, and stung with remorse, you will easily fall before them."

"Soldiers! this statement is distressing, but it is true: Every consideration requires your immediate return to your duty. Swear fidelity and obedience to your commanders, as they engage with due care for your safety and your wants."
This Proclamation is to be printed and read at the head of every company. (Signed) JOURDEN, MERLE.
LONDON, AUG. 15. The intelligence of the surrender of Cairo is confirmed. Two messengers arrived yesterday with dispatches from Constantinople and Vienna, to government and the East India company. The dispatches to government are from Lord Minto, who continues to congratulate his Majesty's Ministers on the fall of Cairo. The dispatches, however, to the East India company, place the intelligence beyond all doubt. They are in substance as follows:—
Extract of a letter from Peter Tooke, Esq. to W. Ramfey, Esq. dated Constantinople, July 19, 1801. "I had the honor to address you, on the 17th instant, by an express Courier, in order to inform you of the reduction of the castle and city of Cairo, by his Majesty's and the Ottoman army, after some severe actions, wherein the enemy had lost 2000 men, in killed and wounded: and that the remainder, consisting of 4000 men, had surrendered. I have only learnt since, that the enemy capitulated on honorable terms, and were to march to Rosetta, to be embarked for France, under the escort of British ships of war."
* Not received.
VIENNA, AUG. 7. Lord Minto, received a courier from Lord Elgin, at Constantinople; and in the afternoon communicated the important intelligence, which he had received officially, the City and Fortress of Cairo, with the whole corps of French troops which were there, partly in garrison, and partly in an entrenched camp, had surrendered by capitulation to the united Turkish and British forces. The French troops are made prisoners of war, & are to be conveyed to France. The joy of the inhabitants of Cairo at the signing of the capitulation was indescribable; and had it not been for the English, the populace would have proceeded to barbarous excesses against the French prisoners. By the middle of June, the Grand Vizier, with the assistance of General Hutchinson, and the rest of the combined forces, approached the forts, and threatened them with a general assault. The French judged it unadvisable to attempt to resist the attack of a force so much superior, and therefore laid down their arms, rather than expose themselves to the consequences of the forts being carried by assault. The number of the prisoners is estimated to about 5000, among which are included Greeks, Armenians, &c. In consequence of this event, the whole of Upper and Lower Egypt is in the power of the English and Turks, and Alexandria is the only place in Egypt remaining in the possession of the French. Immediately after the entrance of the Grand Vizier into Egypt, that Commander, in conjunction with the English, proposed to march immediately with all the force that could be spared, against Alexandria; and it was expected that General Menou would soon follow the example of his comrades at Cairo, and submit to a similar capitulation. The Porte and the Public at Constantinople have expressed the utmost joy at this intelligence of the surrender of Cairo; and it is now considered as certain that the French must soon be driven entirely out of Egypt.
LONDON, AUG. 17. A second attack has been made upon the batteries at Boulogne, and we are very sorry to state, that it has not been attended with the desired success. Late last night the Providence cutter, arrived at Dover with dispatches from Lord Nelson.
The attack commenced about a quarter past 12 o'clock on Saturday night. Our squadron, consisting of 70 boats, was divided into four divisions; these divisions were covered by 16 flat-bottomed boats, each of which carried a howitzer, or carronade. The enemy appear to have expected a second attack, and to have been prepared for it. They had thrown up fresh works, and had sent a large reinforcement of troops into the town. As soon as our divisions approached sufficiently near the shore, a tremendous fire of grape and round shot opened upon them from the gun vessels and shore batteries. The former had between one and two hundred men on board each, and were well covered by flanking batteries of mortars—Troops, three deep, lined the shore, for three miles.
Our brave sailors advanced to the attack with their usual readiness and courage amidst this heavy fire, and boarded the enemy's gun vessels. Great slaughter ensued; but the decks of several of the enemy's gun vessels were cleared and the ships taken possession of, but they could not be got off. The enemy had taken the precaution of chaining their gun boats to each other head and stern; intermediate chains also fastened them to the shore. While our gallant countrymen were unavailingly trying to get them loose, they were exposed to a dreadful discharge of grape shot, shells, and musketry. At length they were forced to retire, bringing with them one larger rigged vessel. Our readers may form some opinion of the carnage, from the loss which this larger rigged vessel experienced—of 70 men, 14 only were left alive, and most of these were wounded.
Our loss in killed and wounded is estimated at about 200 men. Capt. Parker of the Medusa, a most excellent officer, had his leg and
thigh shot off; the Master of the Medusa, was dreadfully wounded; the second lieutenant, and other officers, were also wounded, and about 30 men in Lord Nelson's ship.
Yesterday afternoon Lord Nelson in the Medusa, with several cutters, returned to the Downs, but whether to reinforce his squadron, or to proceed against some other place, we know not. The remainder of the squadron was left at Boulogne.
After this paper was at press, we learnt that a rumour of a very different nature from the above had got into circulation, namely that Preliminaries of Peace having been signed between this country and France , an express had been sent to Lord Nelson, desiring him to return, which he has accordingly done. Stocks were even getting up on this rumour. A short time will determine what we are to give credit to.
LONDON, AUG. 17. The Hamburg Gazette of the 10th instant states, that the chief Consul has expunged the name of Gantheume, from the list of counsellors of state; for not having obeyed his express order to land the troops, entrusted to his care, on the coast of Egypt. It is singular that such a circumstance, if true, should first transpire through a Hamburg journal. It is not, however, altogether unworthy of credit on that account.
Yesterday we also received Paris journals to the 12th inst. inclusive, and this morning those of the 14th. The most important article in them relates to the harvest. Our readers in general will rejoice on being informed that the abundant harvest with which Providence has blest us, has not been limited to this country. In France they estimate the crop at one third more than that of last year, which was abundant. In their corn provinces the harvest is almost over, though it appears that they have had a good deal of rain in the southern districts.
The French journals begin at length to speak of Gantheume's expedition as being hopeless. The papers contain several rumours respecting him, the most important and most probable of which is, that though he got within 60 or 70 miles of Alexandria, he got only one vessel sent in, and could not land his troops. The natives on different parts of the coast threatened opposition, and he has failed in his object. We may therefore soon expect to hear of the fall of Alexandria.
If we may trust to the reports of private correspondence from France, this seems also to be the opinion of the chief consul himself, for the rumour is, that treating no longer to the possession of Egypt, as a ground for demanding the restitution of all conquests we have made, from the allies of the French Republic, he has, within the last ten days, offered a new project of accommodation to the British Minister, more likely to conciliate the two nations.
We presume not, however, to state this fact upon any other authority than that of the letters from Paris, upon which the rumour has been freely circulated here for several days. By private letters from Vienna, we are assured the English Cabinet, has prevailed on the House of Austria not to disarm until a general peace be effected; and that our Government in return will insist upon the modification of the treaty of Luneville. The negotiation on this subject has been carried on through Thugot, and it is upon this business he has of late had so many interviews with the Emperor.
The Chief Consul is indisposed. We learn from Brussels that the Ex Director Barras lives there in the most expensive style.
Thirty-two ships are now expected to arrive from Bengal, freighted entirely with rice. The quantity thus engaged amounts to 16,464 tons.
FLORENCE, AUG. 5. The Count de Ventura having arrived here by order of His Majesty Lewis 1 th . King of Tuscany, to receive in his name the oath of fidelity on the part of the Tuscans, and to take possession of his new State, that official act accordingly took place on the 2d inst. with uncommon pomp, and amidst the acclamations of a numerous and contented people.
The King will soon arrive, and preparations are making to receive him with splendour suitable to his dignity.
A proclamation was issued by His Tuscan Majesty, empowering the Count de Ventura to be his representative in Tuscany until his arrival; and another proclamation was published by Gen. Murat, announcing the act of taxing possession.
LONDON, AUG. 13. The situation of Citizen Duroc at Petersburg, is far from being such as to make him desirous of prolonging his residence there. Bonaparte has at length thought proper to send a kind of equivocal declaration to the Russian Court, in answer to the note in which M c Kalitcheff communicated to him the Convention of the 16th of June. It is to the following purport:—
"The First Consul of the French Republic acknowledges the receipt of the Convention of Petersburg of the 16 of June and takes this opportunity to assure his Imperial Majesty of the lasting good disposition and sentiments of the French Government towards his Majesty's person and government; and assures him, that he will do every thing that may be pleasing and agreeable to the Court of Russia; and that this end would have been attained sooner, if the negotiations with England, the situation of affairs in Italy and Egypt, and the war with Portugal, had not thrown certain invincible obstacles in the way of the business."
This note, it is said, has made no very favorable impressions on the mind of Alexander.
LONDON, AUG. 24. Lord Nelson it is said will take the command of the Mediterranean fleet. Lord Keith is expected home. Lord Duncan has retired from service, on account of his extreme age, and impaired constitution.
AUG. 17. It is reported that Lord Nelson was called from his station off Boulogne, in consequence of the signing preliminaries of peace.
A treaty between the French Republic, and the Pope, was signed at Paris the 15th July.
Porto Ferrajo, in the island of Elba, still holds out against the attacks of the French.
Hanover has not yet been evacuated by the Prussian troops; although Russia interests herself in favor of the measure.
The harvest this year both in Great Britain and France has been remarkably abundant.
Bills have been offered that Mr. Pitt will resume his situation as Prime Minister at the commencement of the next Session; and that Mr. Addington will be called up to the House of Peers, and appointed Speaker with a liberal salary.
The tonnage of the merchant shipping belonging to Great Britain appears to amount in vessels above twenty tons burthen each, to the prodigious sum of 7,000,000 of tons.
The effects of the East India Company in England and abroad, consisting of annuities, cash in the Treasury, goods sold and not paid for, goods on hand, cargoes afloat, and other articles in their commerce, amounted in the year 1800 to sixteen millions, one hundred and eighty five thousand, nine hundred and fifty six pounds.
The sales of the company's goods, which in the year 1793, were estimated, on an average, to 4,988,300l. amounted last year to 7,367,727l.
BASLE, JULY 24. The French Minister, Reinard, has noticed in person to the Executive Council, that the First Consul has read, with the warmest indignation, the counter revolutionary protest, which the Administrative Chamber of the Canton of Berne had taken upon itself to publish against France, and particularly against the separation of Argovia and the Pays d Vaud from the canton of Berne. This unexpected notification has produced a salutary terror among the Oligarchs who were the authors of that protest.
By the Mail.
WASHINGTON, SEPT. 21. THE following statement exhibits the number of Representatives which each state now has under the census of 1790, and the number of Representatives to which each state will be entitled by the new census, at the ratio of one Representative for 33,000 inhabitants.
   1790 1800     New-Hampshire, 4 5   Rhode Island, 2 2   Massachusetts, 14 17   Connecticut, 7 7   Vermont, 2 4   New York, 10 14   New Jersey, 5 6   Pennsylvania, 13 18   Delaware, 1 1   Maryland, 8 7   Virginia, 19 21   North Carolina, 10 12   South Carolina, 6 8   Georgia, 2 4   Kentucky, 2 6   Territory N. of Ohio, 0 1   105 134  
Tennessee—Return not made. Territories of Mississippi, Indiana, and Columbia, not entitled to Representatives.
PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. 24. It must be a subject of national as well as mutual congratulation to the citizens of Pennsylvania to find, that by the last census the number of free men within the state considerably exceeds that of any other state in the union; but it can afford no pleasing reflection for us to learn, that with a population of 65,505 free men more than the state of Virginia, we should nevertheless by an unjust, arbitrary and absurd rule of appointment, only be entitled to about three fourths of the number of representatives of that state—to that the voice of every four citizens of Virginia is of more political value or consequence than five citizens of Pennsylvania. Fellow-citizens, if you can bear this with approved and satisfied minds you must be in the last stage of insensible meanness and national stupidity. If this executive surplus of representation was for the purpose of prohibiting the right (if they have any) or for ameliorating the condition of the blacks, it might be considered as some compensation for the injustice done to the other parts of the union; but the very reverse is the nature of its operation, and it can only fill the mind, already indignant at its injustice, with the abhorrent reflection, that the direct consequence of the measure is the more firmly to establish the power of slave holders over their slaves and their offspring forever.
NEWYORK, SEPT. 23. Letters received in town yesterday, from officers of the ship Pegasus, of this port, state, she was captured on the 2d of January, at the island of Massa Fuero, (150 leagues from the Spanish coast) by a Spanish ship and brig—that the officers and men were kept in irons until
their arrival at Lima, which was 60 days. They were liberated on the 8th of May—that some of the crew had taken their passage in the ship Diana for Canton and Boston; and others in the ship Asia, for Philadelphia. The Pegasus and cargo were condemned; but from her being captured so far from the Spanish coast, and some other circumstances, there is yet a hope that the property may be recovered.
A most shocking event took place last week at Platekill in the county of Ulster, about 12 miles from Poughkeepsie. The circumstances heard, are really as follows:—
"A Mrs. Deyo, during the absence of her husband, after having by various pretences, sent two of her husband's children (by a former wife,) out of the way, called the remaining three room, and then cut their throats with a razor which she had prepared for that purpose. The eldest of the three (about ten years old) when he was called into the room, upon seeing the fate of the others, endeavoured to escape, but his mother seized him before he could get out of the house, and in the struggle cut his throat in a shocking manner. The wound not proving mortal immediately he continued to fly until he was met by some neighbours, and then expired. These persons went to the house and there found that this unnatural mother had completed the catastrophe by destroying herself with the same weapon. The cause of this inhuman butchery, we have not been sufficiently informed of, to lay it before the public."
On Friday last, four persons, two by the name of Adams, and the others by the name of Bufworth, were taken to Poughkeepsie for passing counterfeit Bills, principally of the Branch Bank of this State.
Capt. Herron, from Sligo, informs that when he failed, he had on board upwards of 400 passengers—and that 40 of them died on the passage!—They died of a flux, which was brought on by the use of bad water. Most of the survivors are extremely unwell, and it is supposed many of them will soon die.
HARTFORD, SEPT. 28. We have procured a pretty general return of the House of Representatives for the fall session. As far as we can learn, the number of Democrats will be between 30 and 40, about the same as last spring. The freemen, much to their honor, have attended meeting in great numbers, and evinced their firmness in adhering to the important concerns of the state government. The majority in favor of the Federal nomination, and Federal Representative to Congress, will undoubtedly be great. We also learn, that the Federalists have been generally united in their votes, and in many towns had falls fully to give them in. As long as this happens, this state, by the blessing of GOD, may set Jacobinism at defiance.
BOSTON, SEPT. 30. On Saturday at noon, the British ship of war Pheasant, sailed from Nantasket Road, to her usual cruising place in the bay.
On Saturday night, Le Berceau, anchored from the President's Road, and under cover of the night proceeded to sea. Having a very skillful Viceyard pilot on board, she was enabled to hug the southern shore, and to escape a rencounter.
On Monday afternoon the Pheasant returned to the road, where she lay yesterday.
Thus a French corvette of 24 guns has "covered itself with glory," by running away in the night from a British 18 gun ship of war! If the French government is in earnest to restore the credit of its navy, the Captain of the Berceau will be broke, immediately on his arrival in France, for not seeking, and engaging the Pheasant.
BOSTON, OCT. 2. From SURINAM, Augst 29.
Capt. Cranes arrived at Quarantine from Surinam, informs, that on a petition from the English merchants, the General has prohibited the importation of provisions from the United States, excepting flour, fish, and corn, meal, and lumber. The petition was occasioned by the arrival of an English fleet with provisions.
Letter from Mr. Tufts, the American Consul, to the Hon. B. Lincoln, Collector of the District of Boston and Charlestown. Surinam, Paramaribo, Aug. 24, 1801.
SIR, I PRESUME you will excuse my requesting you to make public, that, in consequence of a petition from the British merchants here resident, to His Excellency the Governor, representing the great plenty of all the necessaries of life in this Colony, our trade is positively restricted to the admission of flour, fish, and lumber only. Of these articles there is a great supply. The only permitted articles of remittance, are, 1 st molasses, now at 18 shillings per gallon; bills of exchange, at 16 to 18 per cent. advance, and silver and gold, at thirty per cent. above their value in the United States.
Yesterday Capt. William Miller, came to town from New Bedford, where he arrived in the ship President, Pinkham, from Gibraltar, in 45 days. The Tripolitan ship and brig at that place, were hauled up, and the crews sent home. The "Admiral" was on shore, & had not made himself remarkable by habits of temperance. Tripoli appears to have been rendered at once

State harmless - and her fate may have a good effect upon the other Barbary Powers; and prevent in future "squally" appearances.
SALEM, OCT. 1. Natural Curiosity - A number of Strawberries were yesterday gathered in a pasture on the farm of Mr. Samuel Silsbee, in the N. fields in this town, perfectly ripe.
DANISH NAVY. By letters from Copenhagen, of the 14th inst. it appears, that many changes are about to take place in the Danish naval and military departments. The Danish fleet, now estimated at 20 ships of the line and ten frigates, fit for service, is to be increased to thirty sail of the line and sixteen frigates. The additional ships are to be built at Copenhagen, Glückstadt, and Frederiksværk. Many regiments of infantry are to be disbanded entirely, and several new corps of Hussars are to be raised and organized. [London Paper.]
From the Washington Federalist. OF JASON FAIRBANKS.
Extracts of a letter from Massachusetts. Although the unfortunate story of Eliza Fairbanks has reached your ear, I have reason to believe that many particulars, attending this horrid crime, will be novel to you. Such is the delicacy observed in our country, respecting reports previous to trial in capital cases, that it is difficult to arrive at facts till the last moment of trial. But to give you a part of this melancholy story: -
"Fairbanks had been seduced, about 2 years previous to his becoming a murderer, by some European travellers, and joined a society of Jacobin Deists, who held their meetings in this town. Among other of their tenets, they avowed a rigid observance of chastity in man or woman, was ridiculous, being contrary to natural impulse; and that any means were proper where the object or end was right: that the monopoly of a female by one man, was as absurd as any other of the ridiculous doctrines of Priestcraft - that all nature cried out against such folly."
"To cure Miss Fales of her ridiculous folly, Goodwin's works, and others of the same kind, were loaned to her by Fairbanks. Her friends saw the snare, and cautioned her to beware of the villain. She refuted their suspicions of her want of chastity, and fell, as you have heard. I have only to add, that the associates of Fairbanks, to complete their crimes, received the murderer of injured innocence from jail - but God has not suffered him to escape."
Portland, MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1801.
The following frightful paragraph is taken from the Newburyport Gazette, printed at Portsmouth, Sept. 29th:
"FEVER AT PORTLAND!" "We are unhappy in hearing, that about a fortnight since, there was a vessel arrived at Portland, from the West-Indies, which had the fever on board, and which came immediately up to the wharf. In consequence of this imprudent conduct of the Captain, near a dozen of the respectable inhabitants of that place, whose fallen victims to the fever imported in said vessel - Among the victims was Mr. ELIZAH HART, (son of Mr. Edward Hart, of this town) who had resided at Portland about four weeks."
A misrepentation of this nature deserves the most pointed contradiction. The fact is, the town of Portland enjoys a remarkable degree of health, and has had no contagious fever this season. Persons ought to be a little cautious in circulating reports which injure a town, and unnecessarily alarm our country brethren. It is hoped the Portsmouth printer will correct his information.
Capt. Talbot, commander of the United States frigate Constitution, has resigned his commission in the naval service.

The British forces in the East Indies, took possession of Tranquebar and Salapome, Danish Colonies, when a rupture with that country was impending; but they now will be restored; and peace is said to be in great and unusual demand at Calcutta.
FRENCH COMMERCE. The French Minister of the Interior has prepared a report to the Consuls, on the Foreign Commerce of France. By this it appears that the Exports in the year 8 (1800) was valued at 151,600,000 francs; and that the Exports did exceed 37,575,000 livres; making a difference against France of 53,551,000.
The French General VAL, who is lately returned from Egypt to France, has presented to the Chief Consul an antique vase, of the greatest beauty. It represents the body of a youth of 15, worked quite anatomically. It was found in the Delta, and is supposed to originate from the Babylonian Temple. Connoisseurs value it as the most exquisite piece of sculpture that has been found by the French in Egypt. The hieroglyphics with which it is covered are perfectly well preserved.
Shortly after the appearance of Damberger's Travels into the interior of Africa at Whittenberg, in Germany, Professor Paulus, with the learned Meiners at Jena, published, the former in the Jena Gazette, a strong contradiction of the pretended traveller, drawn from the internal evidence of the work. But Martini, the publisher at Leipzig, suspecting he had been imposed upon, went still further, and summoned Damberger before a magistrate, where, on examination he confessed it was a fabrication. Translations of this work, lately appeared in London, where they have been sold, as the genuine travels of this ingenious Fabulist.

BOSTON, Sept. 5, 1801. PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING, BY SUBSCRIPTION, MAPS of MASSACHUSETTS proper, and DISTRICT OF MAINE. Compiled by Mr. OSBORN CLELAND, from actual surveys made by order of the General Court. Revised and corrected by Rev. Dr. MORSE and Professor WEBBER, Agents appointed by the Court for that purpose, and engraved and published under the inspection and direction of said Agents, and approved by the Legislature.
THE want of a complete and accurate MAP of the State of MASSACHUSETTS, induced the General Court to order surveys of the several towns and plantations in the State, with a view of obtaining materials for a correct Map. From these surveys, a Map was drawn; but, on account of the many defects and errors of the engraving, it was rejected by the Legislature, though many copies of it were delivered to subscribers, and sold as genuine.
In consequence, the Legislature appointed the gentlemen above named, their Agents, to cause the Map to be taken into a new draft, and to be engraved and published under their inspection.
The Copperplates, on which these New Maps are engraved, together with the privilege of copyright, have been presented, by the Legislature, to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Massachusetts Historical Society, for the advancement of Learning and the good of Science.
These Maps, the only genuine ones which have been published in this State, are constructed on a scale of four miles to an inch. The plate of Massachusetts Proper is 48 by 32 inches; that of Maine is 34 by 28. The Vignettes by Mr. G. Graham, an emblematical representation of Agriculture, Commerce, &c. of the country. The engravings by Messrs. Callender and Hill, are executed in a style of accuracy and neatness, rarely to be met with in America. Roads, Churches, Academies, Court-Houses, Light-Houses, Mountains, Rivers, Bridges, Canals, Mills, &c. &c. are laid down; the distance of each town from Boston, and the Shire Town, and the longitude calculated from London, and from Washington.
The publishers rely on the public approbation and patronage, especially as, on account of the expense of the surveys, compiling and engraving having been defrayed by the Commonwealth, the price is rendered moderate.
CONDITIONS.
I. The Maps will be delivered on cloth, with rollers, at Six Dollars and an half. Those who wish it may have them done to fold in a portable size. II. They shall be ready for delivery on the 1st day of November next, when the subscription will be closed, and the price advanced to non-subscribers. N. B. The Maps, before delivery, will be inspected and approved by a Committee of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Massachusetts Historical Society. Subscriptions received at the Book-Store of JENKS & CLARK, Foul's Row, Fifth-street, Portland.

The greatest cleaner and beautifier of the Face, is undoubtedly ANDREWS' SPECIFIC LOTION.
This celebrated Lotion has received the highest encomiums from the inhabitants of N. York, and from many Medical characters in Europe and this country, who having seen its good effects, do not hesitate to give it their sanction. As a speedy, effectual and safe remedy, it is unrivalled, and has performed cures in this country, when Medical aid, Gowland's and many other Lotions could give no relief. For eruptions and impurities of the face, from whatever cause arising, as - Pimples, Blotches, Ringworms, Carbuncles, Brackworms, Freckles, Sunburn, and immoderate use of Paints.
It need only to be tried to convince the most timid person of its superior efficacy in clearing and beautifying the face - It is warranted to be harmless to the tenderest constitution, and innocent to the most delicate complexion, on the contrary, this will restore the skin to its wonted purity, and preserve it thin, soft, transparent and elastic.
N. B. Each bottle has a certificate signed by the proprietor, without which it cannot be genuine. It is sold in bottles, with directions, (price one dollar each) by S. ERVING. Portland, Sept. 21.
