LETTERS.
Of what vast importance is the use of letters! What a noble invention—an invention bespeaking divine intelligence! Who can too greatly admire this illustrious effort of human genius! Who can render sufficient gratitude to heaven, for such an invaluable gift! By these the wisdom of ages is accumulated at our feet—by these the flowers of imagination shall unfading bloom "through the long track of future time." But above all, how are the social virtues diffused! How is the enchanting voice of friendship echoed afar! How are the noble feelings worked in the bosom of sensibility!—Emphatically did the bard exclaim in tender rapture, "They live, they speak, they breathe what love inspires, Warm from the soul, and faithful to its fires; Shed the soft intercourse from soul to soul, And wait the sign from Indus to the pole."
R. I. Repub.
A Russian peasant has lately made a watch of singular and curious workmanship. It is of the size of an egg. Within it are represented the sepulchre of our Lord, the stone closing it, and the guards standing nigh. The watch is a repeater. When the hour strikes, the stone is suddenly rolled from the mouth of the sepulchre, the guards fall on their faces, angels appear, the blessed women arrive, and that music is played which is usual to be expected in Russia on Paschal eve.—Lon. post.
DEAN SWIFT.
No man had a greater aversion to excess or ridiculous complaints than Dean Swift; an instance of which we shall here relate. A Lady had given him an invitation to dinner, and as she had heard he was not easy pleased, had taken a month to provide for it. When the time came, every delicacy which could be purchased, the lady had prepared to profusion, (which Swift hated.) However he was scarcely seated, when she began to make a ceremonious harangue, in which she told him she was sincerely sorry she had not a more tolerable dinner since she was apprehensive there was not any thing there fit for him to eat; in short, that it was a bad dinner.—"Pox take you," (said the Dean) "why did you not get a better? Sure you had time enough! But since you say it is so bad, I'll go home and eat a herring." Accordingly he departed, and left her justly confounded at her folly, which has spoiled all the pains and expense she had been at.
Horrible Impiety.
We had hoped that the Nepenthes in this country would not imitate their brethren in Europe so far as to become blasphemers. It appears, however, by the following article from an eastern paper, that some of them have commenced the apostles of the most infernal blasphemy, and have substituted the worship of that monstrous system for that of their Redeemer!
The following roast was drunk at a late democratic meeting at Bangor, Maine, (says the Norfolk Repository ) and published in the Boston Chronicle :
"The EMBARGO—denied by more than one Peter; betrayed by more than one Judas; crucified, buried and ascended into heaven." Ferman's Journal.
The following piece of information has already received one insertion; but we think its importance a sufficient apology for its second appearance.
A late publication makes the number of inhabitants of this globe to be 996 millions. Of these, 226 millions are Christians; that is, people generally denominated Christians; 10 millions of Jews; 210 millions of Mahometans, and 450 millions of Pagans. Of those professing the Christian religion, there are 50 millions of Protestants, 30 million of Greek and Armenian churches, and 30 millions of Catholics. If we calculate with the ancients, that a generation lasts 30 years, in that space 996 millions will be born and die; consequently 81,760 must be dropping into eternity every day; 3407 every hour, or about 56 every minute.
GOLDSMITH.
Goldsmith has left few specimens of his poetical powers; but these few are sufficient to immortalize his memory. He charms the ear with mellifluous song, and warms the soul with delicate and exquisite sentiment.—His strains are soft as
"the sweet south"
That breathes upon a bank of violets, And enchanting as the "hymn of angels" descending through the silence of night."
It is with narrow souled people as with narrow-necked bottles; the less they have in them, the more noise they make in pouring it out.
A SAILOR'S
Account of a journey in a stage coach.
Have out of Portsmouth in the Britannia Fly—a swift sailer—an out side birth—rather drowsy the first watch or two—like to have dropped off the stern—cast anchor at the George—took a fresh quid and a supply of grog—comforted the upper works—spoke several homeward bound frigates on the road, and after a tolerable passage voyage entered the port of London at ten minutes past five, post meridian—steered to Nan's lodgings, and shipped my cargo—Nan admired the sailors—so did landlady—gave them a handful apiece—emptied a bowl of the right sort with landlady and Nan to the health of my admiral. At three set sail for the play—got a birth in a cabin on the larboard side—wanted to smoke a pipe but the boatwain would not let me. Nan, I believe, called the play Poll-zaro, with Harlekin Hanquet; but d—m me if I knew them from Stern—remember to rig out Nan like the folks in the cabin right ahead—saw Jack Jack aloft in a corner of the upper deck—hailed him—the signal returned—some of the lubbers in the cockpit began to laugh—tipped 'em a little forecastle going till they shivered off—emptied the grog bottle—fell fast asleep—dreamt of the battle of Trafalgar—Nan told me the play was over—glad of it—crowded sail for a hackney coach—got on board—squally weather—rather inclined to be sea sick—arrived at Nan's lodging—gave the pilot a two pound note, and told him not to mind the change—supped with Nan, and swung in the same hammock—overlooked my rhino in the morning—great deal of it to be sure—but I hope, with the help of a few friends, to spend every shilling of it in a little time, to the honor and glory of Old Eng'land.
ANECDOOTE.
The Persian poet, Sadi, has related the following candid and sensible observation of an old man:—When some of his friends advised him to marry, he replied, "I do not like old women." "Why, then," observed the advisers, "marry a young one." "No," replied the sage, "young ones, do not like old men."
EPITAPH.
Here lies the quintessence of noise and strife, Or in one word—here lies a scolding wife: Had not death took her when her mouth was shut, He dar'd not for his ears have touch'd a flut.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1809.
The Toast published in our last, as given by Mr. Bradley, was incorrect. It should read thus:—
The Ladies of Portland—Preeminent in their personal charms; may they equally excel in all the female virtues.

The Monitor....No. III.
"And thou shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up."
The holy scriptures are a fund of instruction. Light, life and liberty result from the sacred pages, and the humble inquirer after truth is enlightened, directed, edified and comforted. The text above quoted appears to refer to the humble walks of life, and follows us from the hums of business, and the crowd of a multitude, to the social circle, or the peaceful fireside. The Hebrew lawgiver was not content with giving the people of his charge correct ideas of God, and his general providence and government, but he proceeds to lay down rules for their daily conduct. This pious servant of the Most High well knew the advantages of introducing morality and religion into the ordinary concerns of life. He clearly forefaw the declension which must be the immediate consequence of a contrary mode of conduct. He was fully apprised of the danger to which they would be exposed if religious sentiments were not made familiar to their minds, and he therefore enforced upon ancient Israel the duty of familiarizing these sublime and important subjects by a positive command—"Thou shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up."
And are not these duties as necessary now? Why is it that matters of acknowledged importance are so much neglected? Why is it that a company of friends & acquaintances can converse freely on any topic but that of religion? Why is it that the mere mention of this calls a gloom on every countenance? Why is it that people are more ashamed of ignorance on any other subject than that
which concerns their souls' salvation? Alas! Alas! The baneful influence of the fell destroyer, the foul monster Sin, are too apparent; and until virtue, religion and pure morality can be made the subject of common discourse, and discussed in social circles with the same freedom as other subjects, vice and irreligion with their hideous attendants will raise their heads in triumph.

DE SENECTUTE.—No. II.
IN a former number it was observed, that during the administration of John Adams, a mental difference existed between the President and heads of departments. This might excite inquiring minds to investigate the causes. A brief explanation must suffice.
When Adams was called to the presidential chair, our country was filled with intestine convulsions, which required all the skill of a statesman to withstand. Measures, (which he himself acknowledges cost the federal party their popularity) were taken to establish an energetic government. His appointments appeared judicious, except in a few instances, where he seemed to show a preference to family connections—his son being made a foreign minister, and other relations ennobled. This excited the attention of all, and drew from some those able remonstrances, of which he complains. His presence of mind was so great, and his political courage so undaunted, that he doubtless felt himself piqued, at any judgment which ran counter to his own; yet his wisdom, at that day, prevented his exposing himself, as he has since done.
He says that Hamilton's time, while addecamp, "was spent in pleasures and electioneering." If by pleasures, he meant, sensual pleasures, or sensual indulgences, the statement has but little foundation in truth. General Washington, who doubtless understood how his addecamp spent his time as well as John Adams, told Congress officially, that he and his aid, spent their time in the most industrious manner, rising at the break of day, and toiling while the light lasted. Here then it will be seen, that the statements of George Washington are palpably contradictory to those of John Adams. Washington made his in the prime of life; Adams his at an age beyond the period usually allotted to man. What true American would hesitate to prefer Washington's to Adams's?
In many places the ex-president mentions concerning the extravagant proceedings of the anti-federal party during his administration, and compares them with the legislative and town meeting resolves of the federalists, during the continuance of the embargo, and accuses the former of attachment to France, and the latter to England.
That the democratic party favor France, is evident to every candid reader; but that the federalists favor England, is more difficult to prove. Let us examine the facts.
1. The French decree was laid more than a year previous to the orders of council, and nothing of consequence was done concerning it: but no sooner were the orders of council heard of in America, than an embargo was laid—which, we were told, would bring England to terms.—Was it impartiality or French influence that caused this?
2. General Smith, of Maryland, a late Senator in Congress, and an enthusiastic administration man, is proved to have said in presence of a numerous body of citizens, that were the French to land in America as enemies, he would receive them as friends.
3. The embargo bore every feature of permanency till a prospect of adjusting the differences between this country and England took place—when its
features were changed and the law limited.
4. In every private circle we hear democrats reviling England while they are tacit as relates to France. How different is the conduct of the federalists. Compare it with the patriots of '76 and you have a striking parallel—The patriots of '76 complained of having their commerce cut off from all the world: so did the federalists of Toppfield, Boston, Newburyport and elsewhere. The patriots complained of having the trial by jury taken away: so did the federalists in the case alluded to. In fine, the true spirit of independence which dwelt with the whigs in the time of our revolution, is inherent in the breasts of federalists at this day—let a purlind man say what he will.
It is singular that a book which was written in 1800 should remain unanswered nine years, when information was so greatly wanted. It must be that something more than the voluntary will of this old man must be the occasion of its present appearance, otherwise it partakes of cowardice. To let a book remain unanswered during nine years and then attempt it—to let it lie dormant while the author was alive, and after his death attempt to refute it, is novel.—One cannot consider of it without feeling a degree of merriment at Adams' fighting a dead man—it bears a resemblance to an Irishman's relation of his valor in cutting off a man's foot while a soldier; and being asked why he did not cut off his head, replied, that that was cut off before.
Let his strenuous advocates examine the congressional proceedings of 1797, 8, 9, and 1800, and the documents for the same years, the official letters of General Washington, where Pickering and Hamilton are held forth in lively colours, and see how they agree.—We conjecture, and have ground for so doing, that had Hamilton lived till this day, or had John Quincy Adams continued in favor with the federal party, these letters would never have been written.

WATERFORD, SEPT. 5.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Abraham Buys, to his father, Mr. James Buys, of this village, written at St. Maloes, (France,) June 10, 1809, received per the Mentor.
"THIS last winter I was obliged to enter on board of a privateer for my living, as the ship in which I came to France, was condemned, and the crew turned ashore, without money or friends; and I expect to do the same the winter coming. I assure you that the Americans are radically imposed upon in this country since the embargo in America, and our consuls will not look into the grievances of American citizens; therefore we are treated more like slaves, than respected as the sons of liberty; but as soon as I can get dismissed, and find an opportunity to return home, I shall improve it."
"As it is not permitted to speak or write of politics in this country, I must stop, by hoping that my friends in America, will put a proper price on that jewel LIBERTY, which is known only in our own country; and should any foreign power attempt to rob us of that treasure, may their hands be strong, and their hearts sincere, in defending that in which alone consists happiness."
The influence of the Tyrant Bonaparte in this Country is truly astonishing. It is to be deeply regretted that among the American people
many leading democrats are found who rejoice at every step the French Emperor takes toward universal dominion. They see, with pleasure, the patriots of Spain slaughtered, by thousands while fighting in defence of their liberties. They exult at the prospect that the patriotic and heroic Archduke Charles will soon be bound in the chains of the conqueror, and that the brave Austrians will be the slaves of the Tyrant of Europe—These French Tories magnify every insult and abuse offered us by England, while they either expressly approve, or pass in silence, all the horrid outrages committed upon us by France.
Humiliating reflection! How long will the people of America be thus insulted and abused! How long will they place confidence in men so unprincipled, so treacherous!
[B. Alliance Reporter.]
DUANE, an imported Irishman, has had the impudence to compare the American seamen who have been confined by French tyranny in France, to "Pickpockets."
The democratic editors appear to be under orders not to insert any article in which the British evince a disposition to do us justice, without endeavouring to prevent its having a conciliatory effect. Thus the Providence Phoenix , in announcing the acquittal by an English Court of two American vessels, cunningly adds, "[Trap to catch gulls or gullies.]"
Some of the hot-headed Democrats appear disposed to lay the blame of our not having peace with England, to the Federal Republicans, because they did not unite with them in bestowing the coarsest epithets on the British. They seem to think, if we may judge by their practice, that the way to harmonize with Englishmen is to call them Scoundrels, Pirates, Incendiaries, and Murderers! but to us, these do not appear to be negotiable words.
BOSTON, SEPT. 13.
STATE ELECTIONS.
A majority of the lately elected Legislature of Rhode-Island is FEDERAL; but the majority we expect will not be so large as it was last year. Tho' no political questions or elections are likely to come before the Legislature the ensuing year, we are sorry there should exist in the Federalists of any State, the appearance of inattention to the cause on which the happiness and prosperity of our country so much depend.
We have some apprehension that the Federalists in Vermont have not thought it necessary to make their usual exertions this year; but we will not permit ourselves to doubt the reelection of their excellent Governor TICHENOR.
"EQUAL AND EXACT JUSTICE."
Of twenty-three banks in Massachusetts , the Bills of EIGHTEEN, at least have been and now are equal in value to Gold and Silver; while only two or three of the residue have actually closed their doors.—Yet Governor GORE and the Legislature, are anathematized by certain sapient democratic paragraphists for the evil deeds of these two or three; without receiving any credit for the benefits which result from the honest conduct and punctuality of the Lighteen .
REFLECTION UPON MAN.
When I reflect upon man, and take a view of that dark side of him which represents his life as open to so many causes of trouble—when I consider how oft we eat the bread of affliction, and that we are born to it, as to the portion of our inheritance—when one runs over the catalogue of all the cross reckonings and sorrowful items with which the heart of man is overcharged, 'tis wonderful by what hidden resources the mind is enabled to stand it out, and bear itself up as it does, against the impressions laid upon our nature.— Sterne .

French Bulletin.
The Democrats have been telling us that they had the French official account of the grand victory that their Emperor had achieved over the Austrians; this account has at length reached us through another channel and we are no longer at a loss why it has been thus kept back by the French party. By their own official account, it amounts at all, to little else than a drawn battle. Bonaparte tells us indeed that he killed & took an immense number and that he only lost in killed and wounded 4300 that is 1500 more than he lost according to the same authority in his first battle and as his 3000 then turned out to be 36,000 of course he must now have lost 54,000. But a fact that carries its own irresistible evidence along with it that he has obtained no such victory as his party have boasted of, if any, is that out of between 8 and 900 pieces of cannon of his enemy he took but 40 and these 40 doubtless were heavy pieces which belonged to the batteries and could not be carried off. Thus the conquered, mortally wounded Archduke who the Democrats tell us fled with his poor shattered remains of an army into Bohemia, contrived to carry off with them above 800 pieces of artillery! This bulletin now follows, and every reader who has been accustomed to peruse the bluffing gasconade of French bulletins cannot fail to be struck with the very moderate style of this. In fact, this bulletin claims but little more than the former bulletin claimed at the battle of Ebling, which turned out a defeat.

We have hastily made the following translation from the "Hamburg Correspondent" of the 21st July, with which we have been favoured by a gentleman of this city.
MUNICH, JULY 12.
25th Bulletin of the Army.
Wolkersdorff, 8th July.
Passage of the arm of the Danube to the Island of Lobau.
On the 4th at 10 in the evening general Oudinot embarked 1500 of gen. Couroux's voltigeurs on the great arm of the Danube. Col. Balle with 10 gun boats carried them out and landed them beyond the confluence of the lesser arm of the island of Lobau in the Danube. The batteries of the enemy were soon silenced and he was pursued from the wood to the village of Muhl.
At 11 o'clock in the evening the batteries planted against Enzersdorff received orders to begin to fire. The howitzers reduced this unfortunate small city to ashes, and in less than half an hour the enemies batteries were silenced.
At 2 o'clock after midnight, the army had the figure, illegible, bridges, and the left wing debouched under the protection of the batteries 1500 toises below Enzersdorff, and the right at Witz. The corps of the Duke of Rivoli (Magenta) composed the right wing, that of Oudinot the center, and Auerstadt (Davoust) the left wing. The corps of the Duke of Ponte Corvo, (Basilicata), of the Vice Roy, and of Ragusa (Marmont), the guard and the cuirassiers composed the 2d line and the reserve. The great darkness a heavy storm and a rain which poured into the trenches rendered this night as dreadful, as it was favorable to the French army and glorious as it was to eventuate.
On the 5th at the earliest dawn, every man perceived the emperor's plan, who was now with his army in order of battle at the northern extremity of the enemy's left wing, had turned all his encroachments, rendered all his works useless, and had compelled the Austrians to move out of their posts and to give him battle upon ground which was advantageous. This great problem was accomplished, and without passing the Danube any where else, without even a paper from the works, the enemy was obliged to fight three quarters of a league from his redoubts. Now was anticipated the greatest and most happy result.
At 8 in the morning, the batteries, which played upon Enzersdorff, had produced such an effect that the enemy was fain to take possession of it with 3 battalions. The duke of Rivoli ordered his first Aid-de-camp St. Croix to march against it, of which he possessed himself without much opposition and captured every thing in it.
Count Oudinot surrounded the Fortress of Sachsenberg, which the enemy had garrisoned, compelled 900 men which defended it to surrender and took 12 pieces of cannon. Now the emperor ordered his whole army to display upon the immense plain of Enzersdorff.
Meanwhile, the enemy who had committed an error in his plan, recovered from his amazement, and endeavored to command the advantages on the new field of battle. For this purpose he detached many columns of infantry, a great number of artillery and all his cavalry, as well as the line
a new levée, in order to be able to outflank the right wing of the French army. Where he took possession of the village of Enzersdorff. The emperor ordered Count Oudinot to take this village, and ordered the duke of Auerstadt to pass on the right of it, and to turn himself against the head quarters of the Archduke Charles, as he was continuing to march from the right to the left.
From noon till nine o'clock in the evening we manoeuvred in this vast plain. We took all the villages, and as we approached the heights of their entrenched posts, they retired from them as though through magic. The Duke of Rivoli caused them to be taken possession of without opposition. In this manner we got into our power, the works of Ebling and Gross Alpern, and thus the 40 days work of the enemy was rendered totally useless to him. At Rastadt, which the Duke of Ponte Corvo caused to be attacked and taken, he met with some opposition. The enemy was everywhere put to flight and annihilated by the superiority of our fire. The immense field of battle remained covered with his fragments.
BATTLE OF WAGRAM.
Greatly dismayed by the progress of the French army, and its great results occasioned almost without an effort, the enemy ordered all his troops to march, and in the evening took the following position: His right wing extended from Stadtla to Gernsdorff, his center from Gernsdorff to Wagram, and his left wing from Wagram to Neusiedel. The left wing of the French army was at Great Alpern, its center at Rastadt, and its right at Glunzezdorff. In this order night came on, and we prepared for a great battle the next morning. The position of the enemy was reconnoitred throughout, in order to hinder him to adopt any system, after we should take possession of the village of Wagram in the night. In that case his line already extended, precarious, and surprised by a change of camp, must have suffered the different corps to be mixed without order or object, and the affair would soon be terminated without any serious conflict. Wagram was attacked, our troops took the village; but a Saxon column and a French column in the dark took each other for enemies and the operation miscarried.
Already we were prepared for the battle of Wagram. It appears that the dispositions of French and Austrian generals were opposed to each other.
The emperor employed the whole night to draw together his forces into the center, where he was personally within cannon shot of Wagram. For this purpose the duke of Rivoli marched to the left of Aderklaa, and left a single division at Alpern, which had orders in case of necessity to retreat to the island of Lobau. The duke of Auerstadt had orders to advance beyond the village of Gross-St. Martin, in order to approach the center. The Austrian general in the mean time weakened his center, in order to occupy and strengthen his wings, to which he gave an additional extent.
On the 6th at day break the Duke of Ponte Corvo occupied the left wing. In his second line was the Duke of Rivoli. The Vice King closed in the center, where the corpse of Count Oudinot, that of the Duke of Ragusa, the corps of the Imperial Guard, and the division of Cuirassiers formed 7 or 8 lines. The Duke of Auerstadt marched from the right wing to reach the center. The enemy on the other hand placed the corps of Bellegarde at Radna in March; the corps of Colliwath, Lichtenstein and Muller united with the right wing in the position of Wagram, where the Prince of Hohenzollern was, and at the end of the left wing at Neusiedel, where the corps of Rosenberg and Auerberg, debouched, and by a curved movement at the early dawn fell upon each other and gave the signal for battle.
The Emperor equally commenced at this period, ordered the Duke of Auerstadt to be reinforced by the division of Cuirassiers of the Duke of Padua, and the corps of Rosenberg to be taken in flank by a battery of 12 pieces of the division of gen. count Nansouty. In less than three quarters of an hour the fine corps of Auerstadt had defeated the corps of Rosenberg and pursued it beyond Neusiedel, and did it great injury.
Meanwhile the cannonade became general through the whole line, and the disposition of the enemy disclosed itself every moment. His whole left wing was lined with artillery. It might be said, that the Austrian General prepared not to obtain a victory, but that he had in view only the means of taking advantage of it. This disposition seemed to us unskillful, that a defeat was anticipated, and the emperor waited some time before he ordered the small disposition which was necessary, to frustrate that of the enemy and render it a misfortune to him.
He ordered the Duke of Rivoli to attack a village which the enemy occupied, and by which the centre of the army was a little galled. He ordered the duke of Auerstadt, to take the position of Neusiedel and thence to advance to Wagram, and ordered the Duke of Ragusa, and General Macdonald to form in columns to seize upon Wagram the moment the duke of Auerstadt debouched.
After these occurrences we were informed that the enemy made a desperate assault upon the village which the Duke of Rivoli had taken; our left wing was surrounded at 5000 toises, a violent cannonade was already heard at Gross Alpern, and the whole interval between Gross Alpern and Wagram was occupied by an immense line of Artillery. No doubt was left about it.
The emperor in this situation, ordered general Macdonald to form the divisions of Broussier and Lamarque into columns for the attack. He ordered them to be supported by the divisions of gen. Nansouty, the horse-guards and forty detachments of different corps. Gen. Count Lauriston marched at the head of this battery of 100 pieces of artillery against the enemy, approached him without firing, till he came within half cannon shot and then commenced an astonishing fire, whereby slaughter and death were carried into the enemy's ranks. The general of division Reille supported with the brigade of Puffers and Thirion the guard of gen. Macdonald. The guard altered its front to render the attack infallible. In a moment the centre of the enemy lost a league of ground. His astonished wing marked the danger of the situation in which it was and in great haste moved back. Now the Duke of Rivoli attacked him during the
flight of the centre and the movement forced the right wing, Neusiedel was taken from his left wing, by the Duke of Auerstadt, who ascended the hill and marched against Wagram, attacked and surrounded it. The divisions of Broussier and Gubin covered themselves with glory.
It was now 10 o'clock in the morning, and intelligent men saw that the day was decided, and that victory was on our side.
At noon, Count Oudinot marched against Wagram, to support the attack of the Duke of Auerstadt. He succeeded, and he got possession of this important station. From 10 o'clock the enemy thought of nothing but his retreat. Since noon, this was plainly going on and in disorder, and long before night came on the enemy was out of sight. Our left wing stood at Jettelsdorf and at Ebersdorff, our centre near Ebersdorff, and the cavalry of our right wing was extended, their posts at Schoenkirchen.
On the 7th at day break the army was in motion, and marched against Korneuburg and Walkerdorf, and took post at Nichsburg. The enemy cut off from Hungary and Mahren found itself on the side of Bohemia driven into a night.
Such is the representation of the battle of Wagram, the distinguished and ever glorious battle, where from 3 to 400,000 men with from 12 to 1500 cannon, fought for a great interest, on a field which by the enemy was studied and fortified for several months. Ten standards, 40 cannon, 20,000 prisoners, among whom are from 3 to 400 officers, and among whom are a considerable number of Generals, Colonels and Majors, are the trophies of this victory. The fields of battle are covered with dead bodies, among whom were found the bodies of several generals; and among the rest that of Mr. Normann, a Frenchman and traitor to his country, who prostituted his talents against it. All the wounded of the enemy have fallen into our hands. Those whom he was able to carry off at the beginning of the battle, were found in the environs of the villages. We may compute that the result of this battle cost the Austrian army in all about 60,000 men, our loss is estimated at 1500 dead and 3 or 4000 wounded.
At the moment when the Duke of Istria was ordering the attack of the cavalry, his horse was killed by a cannon ball. The shot struck the saddle and occasioned him a slight contusion of the thigh.
The general of division Lafalle was killed by a musket ball. He was an officer of great merit and one of the best generals of light horse.
The Bavarian General Von Wrede and the Generals Peras, Grenier, Vignolle, Sabuc and Defrance were wounded, Col. Prince Aldebrandini was struck on the arm by a musket ball. The majors of Chasseurs of the guard, Daumecul and Corbineau, and Col. St. Croix were also wounded. The Adjutant Commander Duprat was killed. The Col. of the 9th regiment of Infantry of the line remained on the field of battle. This regiment covered itself with glory.
The general staff is making out a statement of our loss.
A singular circumstance in this great battle is that the columns, which lay nearest to Vienna, were not 200 toises distant from it. The numerous population covered the towers, roofs and heights, to witness this great spectacle.
The emperor of Austria quitted Wolkersdorff on the 6th at 5 in the morning, and ascended a Belvedere, whence he saw the field of battle, and remained till noon, when he scampered away at full speed.
The French head quarters arrived on the 7th in the morning at Wolkersdorff.
[In the beginning of the bulletin remarks are made on the position of the armies. The Austrians were in all staked at 200,000 men, and their artillery at from 8 to 900 field pieces.]

We have seen a letter which mentions that the French carry American vessels into St. Martins and St. Eustatia, under the Berlin decree, & send their papers to Guadalupe, for condemnation. A gentleman from thence confirms this account. The condemnations are all a la Francoise. An open admiralty court would be a novelty in a French colony —Pal.
Extra!—dated Washington, Sept. 8.
"This moment, Mr. Jackson with his family and suit, arrived in this city; and last evening the Secretary of State received from him a letter announcing his intention of arriving at the seat of Government this day, and that he would improve the first opportunity of requesting an interview, &c. The President is not expected until the last of this or the beginning of next month." —Pub. Adv.
Mr. Jackson has at length arrived—and we do not learn, that he has as yet demanded our gun boats to be delivered up to the British, nor that he has mistaken any of the towns on the borders of the Chesapeake bay for Copenhagen. At the same time, the country may not be perfectly secure. When he gets to Washington, and sees our armed vessels nicely buried in the mud of the Eastern Branch, and the seat of government without defence, who knows but that he may order them all off to old England, and then, that he and Mr. Erskine together, may bombard the city and lay it under contribution, for the purpose of paying off the British national debt. It is very doubtful whether it will be safe for the liberties of this country, to have any man come into it, for at least a hundred years to come, who has ever been at Copenhagen. Irish patriotism, like Irish potatoes, is the best in the world, and alone ought to be imported. [Con. Mirror.]
Who are the real friends to their country?—is a question of material import at this moment. We will not undertake to answer it; but we will state who we believe to be its enemies:—
Those whose mouths are continually filled with the imposing sounds of Liberty and Equality—but whose actions are in direct opposition to every principle of rational freedom; who prate about the freedom of the seas, and yet advocate a perpetual embargo, that shall leave to our opponents the exclusive privilege of navigating the ocean, and reaping the benefits and emoluments which ought to accrue to their own countrymen. Those who uphold the vile conduct of a commander in chief, (a pensioner of a foreign government) who takes upon himself to overleap the bounds of judicial decisions, seize upon defenceless citizens, and transport them in chains across the ocean, to the imminent hazard of their lives, and the vast detriment of their fortunes. Those who would pull down the sacred pillars of our constitution, the Judiciary, and set up in their places the outrageous passions of an infuriated mob; those who pretend to be advocates of universal philanthropy, but who evidently rejoice at the success of the tyrant of Europe, whose gigantic power extends from the Loir to the Danube, & whose decrees have been, and at this moment are, the chief cause of our unhappy situation; those who suffered a treaty to expire by its own limitation, & without the least effort to renew it, or form a new one, under which our trade had flourished, and our country had increased in wealth and splendour to an unparalleled extent—a treaty which had met the approbation, and received the signature of our beloved WASHINGTON, in despite of the efforts and menaces of the very men who wantonly opposed, or wilfully threw obstacles in the way of its ratification; those who, when they found their efforts unavailing to intimidate the father of his country, traitorously set on foot a whiskey insurrection, and wickedly instigated their ignorant fellow citizens to rebellion and revolt; those who advocated the conduct of an ignorant Governor, who has mortally wounded the good name, fame and reputation of one of the principal states in the Union, by traitorously calling out the militia to resist the process of the laws.

THE UNITED STATES.
Rhode Island, notwithstanding the usual falsehood of the Chronicle, has a Federal Legislature; Vermont is gone. The Embargo and Nonintercourse, not enforced in that quarter, but on the Atlantic has enriched them; they appear to be pleased with their gains, and to have forgotten that they must sink, if that policy which favours their particular interest, is continued to the destruction of the rest of the country.

Great Battle.
WE have copied from the Baltimore North American, the Twenty-fifth Bulletin, giving the French account of the important battle of the 5th and 6th of July. It represents, that from 3 to 400,000 men were engaged in destroying each other; that the Austrians lost in all about 60,000 men (20,000 were said to be taken prisoners,) and the French army had 1500 killed, and 3 or 4000 wounded. Among the killed was Gen. Lasalle, and 7 Generals were among the wounded. The Austrians fought well. This is evident, notwithstanding the labour of the writer to strip the enemy of laurels to overload the Emperor Napoleon.
In the account of the action on the 21st and 22d of May, the French Bulletin stated their loss at 4000 killed and wounded. It afterwards appeared, by private accounts from France, and by the Austrian Official Detail, that the number should be multiplied by 10 to give the truth. Apply this rule to the last battle, and it makes the gallic loss near 50,000.
The Armistice was concluded five days after the battle—and there appears to have been no military operations in the intermediate time. If the line of demarcation includes Brian, in Moravia as appears to be understood, Bonaparte has succeeded better in the negotiation than in the combat.
If the whole forces amounted to 3 or 400,000, it is natural to inquire how they were apportioned—Either the French were greatly superior in numbers to the Austrians, or the latter have still something of an army remaining under the Archduke CHARLES.
The Armistice says the respective powers are to retain their possessions in Poland, but the Austrian troops are to evacuate the Tyrol and Vorarlberg. We believe that the French have asserted, that the Austrians had been driven from those territories, but that in the two last there were a few of the inhabitants in insurrection. The French took Gratz sometime since, but it seems the citadel has held out.
There is no mention in the Bulletin that the Archduke CHARLES was wounded—and we find him referred to in the Armistice, so that he was certainly living on the 12th of July.

Civic Honors.
FROM BATH, SEPT. 9.
Yesterday His Excellency Governor GORE visited this town. He was met by the Selectmen, accompanied by a large number of gentlemen on horseback and in carriages. On his entering the village the bells were rung and a federal salute of 17 guns fired from the Bath Artillery Company. He was escorted to the house of captain Henry Trefethen, where refreshment was provided.
At half after 3 o'clock an elegant dinner was served up in honor of the occasion. Among the guests, besides the Governor, were the President and Professors of Bowdoin College, Maj. Pinkney, of S. C. Col. Fay, Judge Lee, Alden Bradford, Esq. and Col. S. Thatcher. A band of music performed a number of Airs: the toasts and songs were patriotic and appropriate. On retiring from the dinner, Gen. King having previously invited the Governor and Lady to visit him, they passed the night at his house. This morning the Governor left town, accompanied to the ferry, where an elegant barge manned by six captains of vessels, met him and rowed him across the Kennebec. The Citizens of Woolwich received him on the eastern bank with three cheers, and escorted him on his journey to Wiscasset.
FROM WISCASSET, SEPT. 11.
On Saturday last, arrived in town His Excellency Governor GORE and Lady. They were handsomely conveyed across the Kennebec River in a barge from Bath, and welcomed on the eastern bank with three cheers. An

about one hundred gentlemen met His Excellency on the Woodworth line at Gray's tavern, and conducted him into Wiscasset. On his entrance into town he was saluted with seventeen guns. At half past three o'clock he partook of a public dinner prepared for the occasion. The Hon. Silas Lee, officiated as President, and Allen Bradford and Jerel Bailey, Esqrs. as Vice-Presidents. The toasts were truly patriotic and liberal—they were really American: the party was large and respectable. Mr. F. Tinkham, who provided the dinner deserves great credit for the handsome style in which it was served up. The hall was decorated with much taste—at one end was suspended a large full length portrait of the immortal Washington, encircled with a wreath of roses and evergreen; at the other a print representing the Genius of Liberty; and on the side over the music gallery two elegant standards were displayed.
Before dinner His Excellency received the congratulations of his fellow-citizens. Those who never before had an opportunity of a personal interview with our chief magistrate, were much pleased and gratified with his affability and politeness. Tho' a few among the democratic party, such as the disappointed, malignant and envious affect to sneer at Mr. Gore's excursions into the country and ridicule the attention bestowed upon him by his fellow-citizens, we are proud to notice that the most respectable of the democrats here, although they would not unite in a public dinner, yet expressed their decided approbation of paying all possible respect and attention to our worthy Governor.
His Excellency will set out this day for the upper Kennebec, from whence we understand he will return to Boston.
FROM LEWISTON, SEPT. 15. This day His Excellency the Governor passed through this town on his return from Kennebec to Boston. About thirty of the most respectable citizens from this, and the town of Lisbon, zealous to manifest their high esteem for so worthy and illustrious a character, met him on horse-back as he entered the town, and escorted him to Read's Ferry. It was much regretted that His Excellency could not make it convenient to dine in town. All were much gratified with his modest and affable, tho' highly dignified deportment. The democrats were respectfully invited to join in this expression of respect for the Chief Magistrate, but they angrily refused. After parting with His Excellency, the company repaired to Mr. R. D. Harris's, and after enjoying "the feast of reason and the flow of soul," parted at an early hour, much elated with the occurrences of the day.
Bowdoin College.
MR. SHIRLEY, Having been much pleased with the accounts published in the Gazette, of the former Commencements at Bowdoin College, I was a little surprised and disappointed at not seeing any notice of the late one in your last paper. Among the many who are immediately concerned in the government & reputation of this Literary Institution, the neglect to record the proceedings of "Commencement Day," can be excused only upon this consideration "that what is every one's duty, no individual wishes to take the trouble of doing himself."
Happening to be at Brunswick on the night of the Commencement, and feeling an interest in whatever concerns the promotion and respect for the arts and sciences, and those who are engaged in their cultivation, I submit to your disposal the following account, from recollection, which, if nothing better is offered, you can make use of, as you may think proper.
Fourth Commencement at Bowdoin College. 1. A Salutary oration in Latin; by Nathan Lord. 2. An English conference, on The comparative advantages, resulting to society from war and peace ; by Lithgow Hunter and William Richardson. 3. A Greek dissertation, on The abuse of controversy ; by Benjamin Randall. 4. An English oration, on The influence of modern philosophy on domestic and social happiness ; by John Mussey. 5. A forensic disputation on this question, To any conduct virtuous, which arises merely from the love of glory ; by Lithgow Hunter and William Richardson. 6. An English colloquy upon The effects produced on morals and happiness by theatrical entertainments ; by Nathan Lord and John Mussey.
An English oration, on The influence of enterprise on national and individual character ; by Benjamin Randall.
An English Oration, by Isaac F. Coffin, candidate for the degree of Master of Arts.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred on Lathrop Hunter, Nathan Lord, John Mussey, Benjamin Randall, and William Richardson .
The degree of Master of Arts, on Richard Cobb, Isaac F. Coffin, and John O'Brien , alumni of the College.
The Hon. Benjamin Jones Porter received the honorary degree of Master of Arts, and John P. Thurston, A. M. at Dartmouth College, was admitted ad eundem.
The performances of the young gentlemen were such as afforded much pleasure and satisfaction to a numerous and respectable audience, who testified their approbation by frequent applause—and the most perfect decency and order marked the conduct of the spectators.
After the conferring the degrees, the President addressed the Baccalaureates with his usual solemn, impressive, and instructive manner. The sentiments he expressed, united the feelings of a parent, with the fervent piety of a Christian, and the wisdom of a philosopher. Urging upon them the vast importance of heartily and religiously pursuing that course of conduct, which will secure the favour and approbation of that Being, who will finally judge all mankind, according to the deeds done here in the body; warning them to guard against the temptations and follies of a vicious world, and never to sacrifice the approbation of a good conscience, for the applause and flatteries of the unprincipled and profligate in society.
The Rev. Mr. Lancaster, of Scarborough, closed the public exercises by prayer.
The procession then repaired to Mr. Dunning's Hall, and partook of a public Dinner, given by the government of the College.
In the evening, a large number of ladies and gentlemen, attended a brilliant Ball, given in honor of the day, where the hours, amidst the sprightly dance, passed merrily away.
MILITARY PARADE.
On the 9th inst. the first brigade of Gen. King's Division, commanded by Brigadier Gen. Wood, consisting of Col. Rogers' Col. M'Cook's and Col. Thomas' Regiments of Infantry, and three companies of Artillery commanded by Col. Serre, met at Brunswick. At 12 o'clock the line was formed and the whole were reviewed by the Commander in Chief, accompanied by Generals King and Wood, and several other General and Field Officers. After which the troops took up the line of march and went through a variety of evolutions and firings, in a manner which received the approbation and praise of the Commander in Chief for the prompt and soldierly conduct of both officers and men. The troops were dismissed at an early hour, and the Officers met the Governor, and dined in company with him at a public Dinner, provided at Merrill's Hall.
HORRID MURDER.
On the 8th inst. Isaac Davis, Jones Pratt and Paul Chadwick, (the latter a son of the Rev. Job Chadwick, the Baptist Minister of the town of Haverhill, Me.) were surveying land in Matta —they were barbarously fired upon by a set of ruffians in disguise, and Mr. Chadwick was mortally wounded—he languished in great pain till the tenth, when he expired. In the interval between Chadwick's being wounded and his death, he stated under oath that they were first alarmed by the appearance of several men armed, within a few rods distance—one of them discharged a musket and wounded him in the leg, immediately upon which several others were discharged which killed him to the ground. Several of them then came up to him (two of whom he knew) and exclaimed "dam you, what business have you here?"—Davis and Pratt, who had made their escape, gave the alarm, and a number of men went to the spot where the horrid deed was perpetrated and found Chadwick weltering in his blood and helpless on the ground. He was conveyed to the nearest house, where physicians were called, but they could afford little assistance the wound being mortal—he languished till Sunday evening.
The deceased had uniformly supported a good character, was an industrious young man, a dutiful son and an affectionate brother, and has left tender parents, brothers and sisters to weep over his grave and lament his premature and cruel death.
We have received the names of several persons who were said to be concerned in this abominable act; but none of the wretches have yet been taken, tho' the officers of justice are in pursuit of them. It is to be hoped they will be apprehended and brought to condign punishment.
Argus Hummery.
The scurrility and personal allusions in the late numbers of the Argus , will pass with little notice. At present, other subjects, interesting to the Public, require our attention.
It is really laughable to see the "Jail-Bird," who caters for the Argus , prate about others deserting the banners of "General Truth." Was General Truth the jail-bird's guide, when he libelled his friend & patron, Bartlett ? Was his conscience under the control of General Truth , or General Hypocrisy , when he was called upon by those who in principle, as well as profession, are under the guidance of truth and sincerity , to know if he was concerned in the publication of the lies and falsehood contained in the Argus , where he declared, that he had nothing to do with the paper?—We recommend to him to read in his bible, the account of Ananias and Sapphira gave of their disposing of their property, and learn the fate of hypocrites!
As to the publications in the Gazette , respecting the situation of "Americans in France," they are from the persons themselves who are unjustly and cruelly detained in French prisons. The servile tools & partizans of Bonaparte, in the United States, who stile themselves Americans, but who would sell their country to the tyrant of France, will still advocate the slavish doctrine, that the rulers of that country can do as they please in politics. If General Arms
strong has no better prop for his character and conduct than the Argus can furnish, he will soon be beneath the public notice.
JACOBINICAL DECEPTIONS.
The Jacobins think they are using a very powerful argument for a war with England, when they tell us that we must either fight her or the whole Continent of Europe. The fact is, while "the wooden walls of old England" stand between us, not any part of the continent of Europe can get at us, not even the invincible Bonaparte himself, for the purpose of fighting us. We have no manner of doubt that it is the wish and the will of the pacifier of Europe and king of the TWO Americas , that we should join in the "blockade of the continent" by our embargo, nonimportation, non-intercourse, gun boats, and by attacking Canada and Nova Scotia, with a view to straighten the British commerce. But we regard not Bonaparte; he cannot get at us. We can say to him as father Abraham said to Dives—And, besides all this, between us and you, there is a great gulf fixed, so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us that would come from thence.—Worcester Spy.
MARRIED,
In Boston, Mr. Moses Webster, preceptor of Hallowell Academy, to Miss Elizabeth Armstrong—Mr. Benjamin H. Fosdick, mer. to Miss Betsey Wheeler.
DIED,
In Eaton, (Me.) Mr. James R. Delehay: While setting at a door with a pistol in his hand it went off at half-cock, the bullet passed through the upper part of his thigh into his body, and he died in two hours after.
At East-Andover, Deac. Ebenezer Poor, aged 78; formerly of Andover, (Mass.)—Newspaper panegyric cannot do full justice to the character of this pious and highly respected man. From his early life he had been a serious and practical believer in the doctrines of the Gospel. This, together with the powers of his mind, which were above mediocrity, and his education, fitted him for stations of usefulness, where his conduct was always exemplary. But
"And who so artful as to put it by." Like the Apostle, he "finished his course with joy," cheerfully resigned this world, and went down to the grave; firmly believing that He who is "the resurrection and the life," would, in his own due time, call forth the sleeping dust to immortality and glory.
At Topsham, the 7th inst. Mr. Jesse P. Haley, aged 28.
In this town, Mr. Joseph Mumford, aged 19.—Julia-Ann, youngest daughter of Mr. Asa Plummer, aged 18 months.
Gazette Ship News.
PORT OF PORTLAND—1809.
Monday, Sept. 11. Arrived ship Mary , capt. P. Brown, 37 days from the Bay of Honduras, via Havana.—Left, at the Bay, ship Horatio , of New York; brig Eunice , Russell, of Boston, to sail in 3 days; schr. —, Putnam, of Bath, just arrived.
Sch Iris , Russell, from St Barts, ar. at Salem, on Tuesday. On the 8th Aug off Sambarras, was boarded from a French privateer, carrying 16 men mostly black, 4 twivels and small arms; and robbed of bread pork, &c.—In an hour after leaving the Iris , the captured American ship (unknown)—next day was boarded from a British frigate, and treated politely; informed of the above capture, the frigate went in pursuit of the Frenchman.
A junk bottle was taken up afloat, between Sturminster and Long Island , tight corked, which contained a billet, written as follows:—"If any one shall ever find this, he is requested to publish in several Newspapers, that I, Lewis Gilant, of the ship Courtesy , of Richmond, (Vir.) was captured in lat. 55, 38 long. 13, by a French pirate, called La Vengeance , carrying 75 men & 6 long 9-pounders; on the 6th of May, 1809."
NORFOLK, SEPT. 4, 1809.—A cause of an extraordinary nature was decided at the last term of the Hustings Court of this Borough . The case was this. A British privateer about three years since fell in with a vessel belonging to this port, in some part of the Florida Gulf; carried her under the shore, and anchored; plundered her of part of her cargo, materials, and took out two negro slaves belonging to the owner here; afterwards the master of the privateer (as the master of the American vessel stated in his protest, but which was not before the Court) compelled the American master to draw a ransom bill for 4000 dollars on his owner, which the latter did. The action was brought to recover the amount of this bill. The case was referred on points of law for the Court, who we understand unanimously decided in favour of the defendant.
To Advertising Customers.
THE profit derived from Advertisements constitute the principal means by which, at times, we are enabled to defray the necessary expenses that arise from the prosecution of our business. Consequently we are under the imperative necessity of adopting some general rules whereby to secure the payment of them without subjecting us to more trouble than the debts are worth. In order therefore, to remedy this evil, an advertisement will in future be inserted, unless payment is made in advance—excepting for those who may have an account open with the office, or are known to the Editor personally or by report. Numerous delinquencies of advertising customers have rendered this determination necessary.
Our advertising friends will please to keep in recollection that their favors, in order to secure prompt attention, must be handed in previous or during the Saturday preceding the day of publication.

Poetry.
INNOGENCE UNGUARDED.
She came from the hills of the west, A lady of countenance serene; Her heart was a garden of rest, But oh! the dear reason serene!
Her dress was a mantle of green, Set off with a border of white; And all the day long might be seen Like a bird that was even in flight.
At length a destroyer came nigh, A youth of more perilous parts; Well skilled in the glance of the eye, The conquest and havoc of hearts.
He would her by fountains and streams, He played her with novel and books; He told her his tales and his dreams, And he marked their effects on her looks.
Enamour'd he led her to roam, Amid the lone shadows of night; For passion's increase with the gloom, And caution expires with the light.
At length like a rose from the spray, Like a lily pluck'd off from the stem, She droop'd and the faded away, Thrown by and neglected like them.
EXTRACT.
A bosom should remain unseen, Hid from the lawless glance; No charm there is so great I ween, Which fancy's dream cannot enhance.
The steady robe and bosom bare, Wither the bud of virgin shame, The fleecy arm and forward stare, I'd become the virgin's name.
What real's the blush of timid flame, Steals the first of beauty's charms; What grace and modesty display, Can add no force to beauty's arms.
I love to see the maid appear, By other arts to please; I love the simple neat attire, Combining elegance with ease.
THE UNFORTUNATE FEMALE.
A BALLAD.
By the Butler in Edwin's Lower Floor. There was a lady in this land, Whose charms the heart made single; At Chd oh she had not given her hand, And therefore still was single!
Count Casset would this maid so rare, And in her eyes found grace; And if his purpose was not fair, It quickly was laid!
The fire consents to bless the pair, And names the nuptial day! When to! the bridegroom was not there, Bless'd he was away!
For ah! the very night before, No prudent guard upon her, The Count he gave her oaths a score, And took in charge her hoar.
MORAL. Then you who now lead single lives, From this sad tale beware; And do not act as you were wives, Before you really are.
Domestic Intelligence.
Extract of a Letter from an American Gentleman of the first respectability at Natchitoches, dated July 14th 1809.
Several persons are now here from Mexico. They inform that the provisional government of that place have determined to send every Frenchman out of the kingdom and its dependencies. Should this be the case they will no doubt emigrate to the banks of the Red River. Sixty families from Cuba, have already arrived in this village, and many more are daily expected. When we reflect upon the disaffection of the old French settlers to the government of the U. States, with their present and expected accession of strength, our situation becomes truly critical and alarming. Governor Claiborne, doubtless with a view of showing the wisdom and popularity of his administration, has grossly misrepresented the dispositions of the people of this country, and thereby lulled the government into a fatal security. It will be recollected that when the memorable expedition of general Wilkinson, to the Babine, was projected, the Frenchmen who were called upon for militia duty, openly rejected the authority that summoned them, and declared that they would rather unite with the enemy. At that time Spain was in alliance with France, and our Creoles considered the cause of the former power as their own, as it was the cause of France. Nevertheless governor Claiborne shortly afterwards, in a pompous proclamation, declared that the Louisianians had made and ever would make, a stand against every enemy foreign or domestic, that it would attempt any thing against the peace, or sovereignty of the United States, proving their patriotism and extolling their valour.
By these things, the government has been imposed upon and misled. The voice of truth has made no impression upon those who should be the guardians of our rights. We have told them of our danger; they have answered: "It is a calumny—the cry of a faction, to which we will turn a deaf ear." But the time is at hand when it will be known, but I fear too late, who have been the faithful friends, and who the deceivers. The Frenchmen are ripe for revolt; every day discovers some new proof of their disaffection; they say they are subjected to a people whose manners and customs are entirely different from their own; a people, the benefit of whose laws they cannot appreciate, and whom they always look upon, not as fellow citizens, but as masters.—Conscious of their strength, and knowing how considerably it will be augmented, they look upon the few troops in garrison here, with the utmost contempt, and boldly deride our small military establishment.
There is no American here who thinks himself safe. Our melancholy situation has repeatedly been made known to governor Claiborne; but it is with the deepest regret, we have seen that he has not only suppressed our complaints, but told to the world that the French inhabitants of Louisiana were friendly to the American government, admired its laws, and respected its citizens. And this is not all, many of the very men of whom we complained have been appointed to office both civil and military. GOD knows what will be the result. Our apprehensions increase with the knowledge of a conspiracy at the head of which is Le Blancque, whose emissaries here have lately been so active as to convince us that the meditated blow will speedily be struck.— Phil. Papers.
THE SEASON. —The few late days of warm weather has revived the almost perishing Indian Corn in several northern districts; but the fields in many places do not promise more than one third of an usual harvest. In no part of the Union will the crop of Indian Corn be heavy. Wheat and other small grains have been abundant, & well stacked. Vegetables of most kinds are excellent in quality and liberal in quantity; the fruit, plenty and good. The cold weather it is expected will cut off the fall feed; but the quantity of new and old hay on hand is abundant.— Cont.
HAIL STORM. On the 21st August, a thunder gust accompanied with hail, did much damage in West-Haven, Vermont. The hail stones were of the size and shape of dried figs, and fell with such force as to break all the glass in a house fronting the cloud; to split and tear off shingles; to strip from the branches of apple trees of one year's growth, and bruise the bark from the storm side of the trunk. Cattle in the fields had small swellings raised by the hail, and some hundred of larks, quails, blackbirds, robins &c. were found dead in the fields, victims to the tempest; oats, peas, &c. were cut off to the roots; and on the day after the storm the hail in many places upon the level ground was four inches in depth.— Ibid.
EJACULATION. Time waits no foot; every letter I trace, tells me with what rapidity life follows my pen; the days and hours of it, more precious, my dear Jenny! than the rubies about thy neck, are flying over our heads like light clouds of a windy day, never to return more—every thing presses on—whilst thou art twisting that lock—see! it grows grey; and every time I kiss thy hand to bid adieu, and every absence which follows it, are preludes to that eternal separation which we are shortly to make.— Sterne.
LIFE OF MAN. What is the life of man! is it not to shift from side to side;—from sorrow to sorrow?—to button up one cause of vexation—and unbutton another!— Ibid.
Definition of virtuous love , by Guera, a Spanish Bishop:—"It glows, but scorcheth not; it burns, but consumes not; it glitters, but dazzles not; it refines without destroying; and it is painful though pleasant."
