Poetry.
THE SAILOR.
AH me! how loudly yells the storm? Whilst shivering on the deck I stand: The low'ring clouds the skies deform, And far, far distant is the land. How happy he who on the shore, Defies the bellowing tempest's roar, And safe and quiet proves! Amid the vale, secure from harm, In soft repose's silken arm Can hug the maid he loves.
Yet louder blows the dreadful blast! O'er head now rolls the barling wave: I cling around the creaking mast, And hardly hope my life to save, The thunder breaks, the deluge pours, Ah me! how hard a lot is ours! The toil worn seamen cries, But soon the winds have ceas'd to roar; The danger's past—the storm is o'er; He hails serene skies.
Now round the circling brimmers go, To toast again his charming fair: His heart no longer press'd with woe, No more his mind with saddening care. Aloft the shroud he cheerily springs, And to the whistling zephyr sings, The dangers of the seas: Now clouds and trims each slacken'd sail, The bounding bark salutes the gale, And scuds before the breeze. 'Tis thus, Maria, far at sea. By tempests torn thy friend has been; While fancy oft, at thought of thee, Laments the dreary gulph between. Amid the howling of the wind, I think on thee I left behind, And with myself on shore; Fast lock'd in my Maria's arms, And fondly gazing on thy charms, And ne'er to leave thee more.

A few days ago as a sailor was travelling near Brothertown, a hare made an attempt to cross the road, but was confounded by two carriages at the same time crossing, that she ran so near the sailor as enabled him to knock her down, which having done he put it in his handkerchief, and travelled on; and soon after met with an honorable Baronet, particularly tenacious in the preservation of his game, who immediately called out to the sailor, "I say man, is that your own hare?" and upon receiving no answer, the same question was twice repeated: at last the tar vociferated, "D—n your eyes, you lubber, do you suppose I wear a wig?"
Printing.—During the Pope's late residence at Paris, the most constant homage was paid to him by numerous exhibitions, to explain the progress of the useful arts in that country. One circumstance, however, but little known, though unparallelled in the art of Printing, deserves to be recorded: On the first of February, his Holiness visited the imperial Printing Office. As he passed along the galleries, 150 presses furnished him as he passed, with a sheet each, upon which was given the Lord's Prayer, in some different language or dialect. In Hebrew, Samaritan, Chaldee, ancient Syriac, Rabbinical, ancient and vulgar Arabic, Armenian, Persian, and also all the languages and letters of the Crimea, of Malay, of Java, of Indostan, of the Mogul empire, of China, and Tartary; in all forty six dialects of Asia. We cannot enumerate all the European languages and dialects, but they amounted to 75. Africa furnished 12, and America the remaining 17. The reputation of the French press is well known, and the constant attention paid by that nation to the art of Printing, even amidst their revolutionary horrors, enabled them to pass before the eyes of the Roman Pontiff, whatever has been employed to improve or enrich the noblest and most useful art known to man.
A variety of valuable antiquities have been discovered in Thessaly. Among which are, the busts of Aristotle and Anacreon, a large statue of Ceres, with a coin of Lyfimachus, and some remarkable pillars—A Greek MS. containing a commentary of Nicephorus on the ancients and the ancient Greek church, was discovered at the same time, another building has been dug out from the lava which buried the city of
Pompeii. In it have been found in good preservation, vases, coins and musical instruments, a beautiful brazen Statue, representing Hercules killing the hind on Mount Menalus, and several paintings in fresco. At the town of Aiesole, near Florence, a beautiful amphitheatre has been discovered, and the greatest part of it cleared from the rubbish. It is supposed that it would contain at least 30,000 persons.

After the tremendous menaces, and magnificent promises of the Inquirer, for the last two or three months: I was prepared—not to be convinced, that I had "miserably misunderstood the character of Mr. Jefferson"—not to be "overwhelmed with facts in disproof of my assertions"—not to be driven into the "woods of Westmoreland," there to remain "without censure, because without notice."—No—in the strength of conscious truth, in the pride of honesty, I sat those consequences at defiance and smiled, contemptuously smiled, at the bold asseverations of a blushless faction—I did expect however to find, in the defence of Mr. Jefferson, at least, a plausible attempt to cover his defects, and something like an extenuation of some of the many charges against him—How have I been amazed, as well as amused, at the mouse delivery, of the Inquirer's mountain labor. I have examined every number of the "Vindication," with the accompanying certificates, and sought, but sought in vain, for the proofs of prowess, and deeds of valor, which were promised; I have sought, but sought in vain, for a single circumstance, subversive of one important point of my letter—A letter never designed by me for the press, although authorising the receiver to use my name, which authority was innocently mistaken, for permission to publish—Here let me not be misunderstood—My unwillingness to have appeared in print, would not have proceeded, from a fear of investigation, for investigation I would have invited, from any respectable quarter, and should have held myself bound to name the sources of my information—I he truth is, I had no wish to appear "a new character on the political theatre"—"the Champion of Christendom," &c. &c.—I had no wish to encounter the vulgar, though empty maledictions of venal editors—those voluptuaries in the carnage of character, whose bread is calumny, whose whole subsistence grows out of the abuse of an "excellence they cannot reach;" A contact with such secondary satellites, who move around the primary planets, who move around the sun of democracy, I should have wished to have avoided—To those underground reptiles, I hereby bid an eternal adieu—My letter, (excepting the passage relating to Mr. Jones,) was in direct reply to interrogations pronounced by a private friend of Boston, (not Dr. Park, as has been asserted;) and where is the man, who would not answer the inquiries of a friend, as far as his knowledge or information extended? I could find no motive for withholding from an individual, what I had heard and seen of the conduct of Mr. Jefferson—I was no ear-wig expectant, no hangar-on, no acquaintance of Mr. Jefferson, and had I been, I should have deemed it criminal, to have denied what I believed to be fact—I was not of an age, or in a situation personally to witness the conduct of Mr. Jefferson, whilst governor of Virginia, but for my information on this subject, I repeat, that I am indebted to some of the most truthful men of the community, who were enabled from their situations, qualified from their talents, correctly to appreciate the character of the first officer of state. Whether the deductions of those gentlemen, or the opposite impressions, of the censors of Mr. Jefferson's conduct, be best founded, it is not for me to say—I again assert, that I did derive my intelligence from men of age, and respectability, and as well might I call on the persons who have certified, to prove the truth of their respective certificates, as to be required myself to substantiate what I have asserted, unless my enemies, in the indefatigable rapacity of their pursuit, can find some one act of my life, calculated to invalidate, what I may assert—I never did engage to publish in a newspaper, and expose to the blood hounds of a blood-thirsty junto, the names of my informants, and had I done so,
I should hardly feel myself bound to answer the call, of the anonymous mercenaries of the party, who are paid to enter the list. If personally applied to by a gentleman, I pledge myself to give the names of the persons, on the authority of whose information I made my communication—if charged with "wilful misrepresentation" by any man, whose situation in life, and standing in society, entitle him to my notice, I pledge myself to inflict the chastisement due to such an offence—I should be censured by my friends, and laughed at by all, were I so far to forget myself, as to pay any regard to the vox et praetera nihil, of an hireling newspaper printer, every blast of whose trump, I conscientiously consider an additional evidence of my well standing with the honest of all parties—I did say that Mr. Jefferson had not acted the part of a firm and virtuous public officer, because I was told so, by persons INCAPABLE OF FALSEHOOD—It would be idle for me, to enter into an investigation of Mr. Jefferson's conduct during the invasion of the state; it is well known to all Virginia, it is well known to the writer of Mr. Jefferson's "Vindication," if he be a Virginian, that the most direct and severe charges, were circulated and countenanced, by men of the highest responsibility of character. It is well known, that one of the most conspicuous men in the state, did contemplate an impeachment—Why it was not prosecuted, I know not—possibly for the same reason that the impeachment of judge Chase, was so long withheld; namely, his popularity with the body who were to decide, and the consequent calculation, that he would receive thanks, instead of censure—This argument, when applied to the "acquitted felon," I presume will not be pronounced orthodox, by the very persons who affect to consider it, "confirmation strong as holy writ," when applied to the case of the man of the people.—The circumstance of the resignation, is so flatly admitted by the Inquirer, that any comment on that subject, would be superfluous. Whether a publick officer, is, or is not justifiable, in remaining at the helm of state, just so long as the consequences are purely emolumental, and in resigning it to another, so soon as the aspect becomes squally, (even though there be "but a remnant of authority left") must be decided by the opinions of his fellow-citizens—Whether Mr. Jefferson did, or did not oppose, and annoy the enemy, in their passing through the state by heading the militia, and in any one instance, hazarding his person—whether he did, or did not act as the governors of other invaded states did, or as his successors did; for whose publick spirit, and private virtue, the pen of panegyric, cannot say too much—Whether he did all this or not, must also be decided, by the opinions of his fellow-citizens.
For proof of Mr. Jefferson's encouragement of Callender, I refer to the Inquirer's "Vindication" and if this be not deemed sufficient, there are letters extant, which will soon set this question at rest.
I did say that Mr. Jefferson had held a correspondence with Col. Walker, of a particular description because I had seen that correspondence, AND IT WAS AS I STATED.
I did not engage to publish this correspondence, nor shall I urge Col W. to do so under the particular circumstance, which induces him at this moment, to withhold it. I assert that the whole of this correspondence has been exhibited to many of Mr. Jefferson's warmest political friends, and if my statement, be otherwise than strictly true, let me be corrected. Whether a deliberate act of cruel perfidy, towards an intimate friend, and a man of honor, be an act praiseworthy or the opposite, the world will decide.
I did say that Mr. Jefferson, has made a tender of worthless paper in discharge of a specie loan, because I had seen it under the signature of the respectable gentleman, on whom the attempt was made, and because I had heard it avowed by many of Mr. Jefferson's most ardent admirers—Whether the intention to pay fifty pounds, loaned under particular circumstances of friendship, with a parcel of trash, not worth fifty pence, whatever the laws, be an act praiseworthy or the opposite, the world will also decide—So let the world decide whether or not, under the foregoing circumstances, I was, or was not justifiable in saying, that I believe all the charges against Mr. Jefferson, to be substantially true, and that I affirmed most of them to be so. T. TURNER.
Winchester, Jefferson County, Oct. 10 1805.

The regiments of the kingdom of Hungary have been augmented with 12,000 Hungarian recruits, which the different countries have raised in a short time.
The number of our troops which are now on their march for Italy and Germany, amount to above 200, 200,000 men.
Sept. 8. —General Mack has already gone to the army encamped at Wels. The Archduke John goes to the Tyrol to preside at the Assembly of the States, and partly to inspect the positions and frontier fortresses of that province: from thence his Imperial highness will go to Italy, where he will take the command of the Italian army in conjunction with the Archduke Charles; the latter will take command of the center of the Italian army, the Archduke John the right, and Prince John of Lichtenstein the left wing. The command of the troops encamped in the Tyrol will be given to General Bellegarde. The Emperor himself, assisted by General Mack, will take the command of the army in Germany, of which the Archduke Ferdinand will command the right, and Prince Charles of Schwarzenberg the left wing.
Ratisbon, Sept. 12. —We have received intelligence here by an extraordinary courier, that the Austrian troops have passed the Inn and entered Bavaria. The French envoy at Munich, M. Otto, immediately set out for Paris. Several envoys have sent off couriers with the above intelligence to their respective courts.
Hamburg, Sept. 17. —The French government has demanded of the Electors of Baden and Wirttemberg, the free passage of their army through those countries, and an auxiliary force of 10,000 men of each Elector. This demand has been refused for the present, and couriers have been sent to Berlin, Vienna, and Petersburg, to request assistance in case of necessity.
The Prussian minister, count Haugwitz, has been recalled from his retreat in Silesia, and sent to Vienna, to settle, if possible, the differences between the two cabinets.
Bonaparte's equipage is actually arrived at Strasburgh, and upwards of 90,000 men are by this time collected on the banks of the Rhine.
The Swiss have applied to the Austrian and French governments for permission to remain neutral; but their request has been rejected on both sides. The Austrians, however, are expected to be the first to take possession of that country.

No more than 30,000 men are said to be left on the coasts. All now depends on which party can first occupy Suabia, and afterwards Switzerland: for it seems the die of peace or war is already cast.
Leipsic, Sept. 6. —The third Russian army which is assembling at Wilna, will be commanded by the Emperor of Russia in person.
HOLLAND.
Amsterdam, Sept. 21. —Ninety-two thousand men, from the coast, will have passed through Rheims before the end of the month. It is expected the Hungarian Diet, which is to meet the 13th of October will not only grant the Emperor 50,000 men, but also, a considerable sum of money. An army of 80,000 men is to be formed in Bohemia. The Russians were to arrive in Brunn on the 12th inst. The Austrian troops assembling on the Inn, are shortly to advance into Bavaria. At Gottingen 20,000 French troops are arrived from Hanover. General Bernadotte is with them. It is said M. Bacher is to succeed M. Laforet as French Imperial Ambassador at the court of Berlin. Several thousand horses have been lately employed in conveying every thing that is valuable at the court of Munich to Wurtzburgh: and all the Officers throughout that territory have received orders to transmit to Munich
all the public money in their possession, without delay.
RUSSIA.
Frontiers Sept. 2. —The Generals Prince Panceration and Baron Winzingerode are gone to join the army. The latter has taken an order to the General in Chief Kutusoff, to enter Austrian Poland, which he has already obeyed, with an army of 80,000 men. The guards, to the number of 10,000 men, commanded by the Grand Duke Constantine, are marching to Lithuania, whence they will proceed to the Austrian States. Other troops from the Kuban, from Siberia, and from Kiow, will form different corps of reserve.

SPAIN.
Madrid, Aug. 26. —The Combined Fleet which which has put into Cadiz will go to Carthagena, and take with it seven ships in that port. It will thence sail for Toulon, where there are still four or five ships of the line; so that the force of this fleet will be 50 ships of the line.
SWEDEN.
Gottingburgh Sept. 9. —Every thing here indicates the approach of war. The Swedish army is all in motion; several more regiments are ordered to Pomerania. The King was to leave Helsingburg for Christianstadt, on the 7th inst.
TURKEY.
Constantinople, Aug. 15. —The rebellion in Natolia has taken very suspicious turn for the Porte. The Pacha of Erzerum, Jusuph Pacha, formerly Grand Vizier, was defeated in the engagement with Tayar Pacha; on which the latter sent four officers to propose a negotiation; but Jusuph Pacha caused their heads to be struck off. Exasperated at this sanguinary deed, Tayar Pacha made a new attack on his antagonist, defeated, and took him prisoner. The new Reis Effendi has written and published the History of the Turkish Empire, from 1743 to 1805; a work which is highly approved for its correctness and impartiality. The Russian troops which lately passed before this city were commanded by Gen Gerdue, a native Frenchman; 12,000 men are said to be ready for embarkation at Odessa and Sebastopol. We have received intelligence here, that M. Jaubert, the French Secretary and Interpreter, has not proceeded for Paris but that he has taken up his residence for some weeks past at Widdin.
Aleppo, June 26. —The Russians continue their preparations against the Prussians; they are striving to procure auxiliaries among the Armenians. Their hostile designs seem to extend through the whole Peninsula between the Caspian and Black Seas. Towards this latter point, they have made themselves masters of the port of Anargia, independent of their garrison on the Phasis. It is said that they have 1500 men in this part of Colchide; and it is added, that their politics do not always favor their military operations; and that in Georgia, their system of severity seems adapted to excite general discontent, Prince Zizianow has caused 60 of the principal inhabitants of Teflis to be arrested, while two sons of Prince Heraclius have been compelled to take refuge in Persia.
ENGLAND.
London, Sept. 29. —It was reported this morning, that Another Power has Declared against France—the Elector of Hesse Cassel, whose troops are to be taken into English pay. If that be the fact, it is decisive of the sentiments of Prussia, without whose concurrence, a Power situated so near her territories would not have taken so decisive a step. But we do not guarantee the truth of this rumour.
The report of an immediate dissolution of Parliament was again revived yesterday; and it was even stated, that a proclamation to that effect had either received, or was about to receive, the Royal Signature. We deem it necessary to notice this rumour, from the general circulation which it obtained last night, without presuming to vouch the accuracy of the statement.
Admiral Ville-neuve has been recalled to Paris, to have his conduct on the 22d July, investigated by a Court Martial.
The following are said to be the state and destination of the armies which Bonaparte was to set immediately in motion against the Combined Powers:—The Grand Army is to consist of one hundred and fifty thousand men: Bonaparte is to be the Commander in Chief, and under him Berthier: the centre is to be given to Louis Bonaparte; the right wing to Oudinot; and the left to Marmont. This army is to act in Germany and Switzerland. The army of Italy is to consist of 120,000 men; Jourdan is to command the centre, St. Cyr the right, and Massena the left wing. An army of 50,000 men, under Angereau, is stated to be on its march as auxiliaries to Spain, and to keep Portugal in subjection. The Army of Reserve is to consist of 80,000 men, under the command of Soult and D'Avoust. The army of England and Holland is to consist of 50,000 men, under the command of Ney and Bonhomme.
Several thousand tons, certainly not less than 12,000 tons of transports, have been held at the disposal of Russia in the Mediterranean, for a length of time past.
We understand that a Russian squadron, of six or seven sail of the line, is expected to join our fleet in the North Seas.
By the Mails.
NEW-ORLEANS, SEPT. 23.
WE learn from a respectable quarter, that immediately on receiving word of the seizure of the Kempers, by the Spaniards, Gov. Williams, wrote to Gov. Grand Pre, demanding them—and stating, that if they were not delivered, he should be under the necessity of making the next demand at the point of the bayonet. Had Gov. Claiborne treated a certain Marquis, in the like spirited manner, the eyes of our citizens would not have been so long offended, nor their feelings insulted, by the appearance in our fleets of armed men in the Spanish uniform.
OCTOBER, 2.
The mail, via, Fort Stoddert, we have reason to believe, will for a short time be suspended. Since the first post rider was killed on the route, another has been shot through the hat, and we are to'd, that no one can be found hardy enough to ride.
RICHMOND OCT. 26,
Singular Duel. —A Meeting was held on the Maryland shore, on Monday last, between Dr. William Upshaw, and Shelton Jones, Esq. The parties took their distance at three feet from the muzzle of their pistols. Meriwether Jones, (brother of one of the parties) states, that one of the preliminaries to firing was that each should keep his piece elevated until the word was given to fire, so as to prevent injury from an accidental discharge. Lt. Reed (Mr. Jones's second) was to give the word.—While he was engaged in making some arrangements, he heard the report of a pistol, and turning round, discovered that his friend had fallen. Lt. Reed would have shot Dr. Upshaw upon the spot, but he continued to excuse himself, by exclaiming, "it was an accident! it was an accident!" Mr. Jones it is said, was wounded in the upper part of his head; whether the skull was penetrated, or the ball glanced along the bone, was not ascertained. Mr. Jones was in a fair way to recover. Both the gentlemen are democrats; therefore we imagine the controversy was not on a political subject. They too are both duellists.—Mr. Jones having killed his man three or four years since.
Portland.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1805.
Captain Salter, who arrived at this port, on Friday last, in 46 days from Liverpool, politely furnishes us with London dates, to September 29th, 10 days later than before received. For the most important articles of intelligence, see our foreign head.
It appears that the affairs of Europe are fast approaching to a crisis, which will shortly determine the question whether Bonaparte will consent to peace with England, founded upon the principles of Justice, and the general safety of Europe, or engage in a wide extended war, in which he will have to oppose the united force of the principal powers upon the continent.—A London Editor observes:
"The opinion of the most intelligent part of the Public is suspended between the equal probabilities of War or Negotiation. The present state of the powers on the continent has scarcely ever been paralleled in the history of nations. It is impossible to say to what this parleying on the edge of war, this armed negotiation, this coalition of powers, who wish to fight, and powers who wish to treat, may lead."
Two declarations in the form of Notes, have been presented by Talleyrand to Count Cobentzel, the Austrian Minister, in which he charges that power, with being the aggressor, with putting the forces of the Empire, upon a war establishment. At a time when Bonaparte placed the greatest reliance upon the friendly disposition of Austria. Such conduct he observes, has compelled his master to postpone the invasion of England, and thus Austria has done as much as if she had commenced hostilities; for she has made the most powerful diversion in favor of England.
Talleyrand concludes with requiring a speedy and categorical answer to the following demands:
That Austria will immediately reduce her military force to the peace establishment, and discontinue all camp fortifications, and every warlike preparation.
That she declare to England her firm and unflinching determination to observe an exact and scrupulous neutrality, without taking the least part in the present dispute—in case a satisfactory reply is not given, the Emperor of France, will repeal force to force, and not commit the fault to wait until the Russians have joined the Austrians against him.
On 31 of August, the Emperor of Russia though the medium of its ambassador at Vienna, presented a declaration, stating, that he had been governed in all his conduct, by those principles which would have the most immediate tendency, to effect a general peace, upon such grounds as would ensure the safety and tranquility of Europe; but if Bonaparte persisted in his boundless desire for conquest, he should be prepared to take an active part in the war; but still, entertains a hope that the existing differences may be amicably adjusted, and invites the court of Vienna, to second his views.—On the 3d of September, the Emperor of Germany presented a note to the French Court, in which he declares his objects in arming to be the maintenance of peace.
"As a demonstration of the rectitude of the sentiments entertained by the two Imperial Courts of Austria and Russia, it is hereby formally declared in the name of both:—"
"That they are ready to enter into a negotiation with France, for maintaining the peace of the Continent on the most moderate terms which are compatible with the general tranquility and security:
"Finally, that the sentiments of Great Britain are conformable with those herein expressed, and that she has displayed the same moderate disposition for the restoration of peace between her and France.
"His Majesty will be happy, and his highest will be gratified, if this declaration tend to prevent those misfortunes which it is not in his power alone to avert from mankind."
MR. TURNER'S LETTER.
Some time since, a letter, written by Thomas Turner, Esq. of Euphron-View, Virginia , was published in the Repository :—This letter was dictated in consequence of a number of queries, addressed to Mr. T. by a gentleman in Boston, as to the several charges brought against Mr. Jefferson: viz. His cowardly abandonment of the government of Virginia, when invaded by the British; his hiring Callender to libel our greatest Patriots; his attempts to seduce the wife of his friend; and his endeavoring to pay borrowed money with a parcel of worthless paper trash; all the above charges being substantiated by incontrovertible evidence; the Democrats being unable to invalidate these facts, with all the malice of infatuated man , made use of every vile mean to destroy Mr. Turner's character for truth and respectability. In reply Mr. Turner has given to the public the letter published in the first page of this paper, and upon which the Repository makes the following pertinent observations.
"This paper sets Mr. Turner's conduct in its proper point of view; and now the enraged advocates of political and private profligacy may hurl at him their pointless arrows in welcome. MR. JEFFERSON'S CHARACTER IS FIXED by all the evidence that an impartial public can or will require, and to be worshipped by the base or the deluded, will not remove a stain.
"We do not expect to convince the violent, the wilfully and perversely deaf and blind. Mr. Jefferson's character has crossed the Atlantic; there, evidence will now be duly appreciated. It is recorded for posterity—prosperity will be just. This is all we expect, and to this we have limited our views. He will be a lasting monument to warn aspiring demagogues of the danger of aiming, at distinction, by the basest means; of concerting with the vilest of the human species to destroy the characters of those whom a once grateful country delighted to honor."

It is the case with some people, that nothing is done right, unless they do it themselves; the truth of this will appear in the reflections made by our meek democrats, upon the Governor, for not mentioning in his Proclamation for a Thanksgiving, as a subject of much congratulation, the liberation of our citizens from Tripoline captivity.—Much as we rejoice at this event, we should also be thankful if the President of the United States, that man of the people, would inform the public what the particulars of the treaty are; when this shall be done, GOVERNOR STRONG will then, undoubtedly, notice it in a manner becoming the chief magistrate of this Commonwealth.
At present, all the information before the public respecting the peace, with Tripoli, is derived through the medium of a Private Newspaper; but it seems under the new order of things, the people are not to be permitted to know the proceedings of the executive. Under the Washington and Adams administrations, such conduct would have been considered treason against the majesty of the people, and Monsieur Gallatin , the present keeper of the purple strings of the United States, would have threatened to stop the wheels of Government .
The last Aurora informs, that Gov. McKean had instituted five additional actions for libels, against Matthew Lawler, Thomas Leiper, Dr. Leib, Jacob Mitchell, and William Duane—all active democrats.
The U. S. frigate Adams , Capt. Murray, has failed from New York on a cruise.
Married.
In this town, Mr. Thomas Lewis, to Miss Francis Thorlo.—Mr. Christopher Wright, to Miss Nabby Baker.
In Durham, Mr. Thomas Trafton, of Lewiston, to Mrs. Sarah Crabtree.—In Lisbon, Mr. Joshua Haley, of Lewiston, to Mrs. Polly Farrar.—In Lewiston, Mr. Peter M. Blaisdell, to Miss Hannah Morie.—In Brumfield, Mr. Joseph Field, jr. of Lewiston, to Miss Elizabeth Stevens.
Died.
At Hampden, Andrew Morton, Esq.—Mr. James Dudley, killed by the falling of a tree.
In Farmington, Oct. 31 Widow Patience Pease, in the 90th year of her age, a native of Mathas Vineyard.—In Stark, Capt. Blossom, aged 98.

That life is long which is well spent. Seldom is the exercise of the power of the relentless destroyer of man, attended with more regret, than in the death of Mr. Joseph Bryant of this town, who died on Friday morning last, aged 22—Endowed by nature, with superior strength of mind, he was enabled at an early age, to enter on the busy scenes of life;—as a merchant, he acquired, by industry and integrity, the confidence of all; by urbanity of manners and benevolence of disposition, the love and esteem of his acquaintance; and the delight of the family of which he was a member, by the constant exercise of those qualities, which endear the son and the brother: But the friends and connections of the deceased, will not mourn as those "without a hope." From the commencement of the disorder, he entertained a preference that it would terminate but with his existence—During its continuance, he exhibited a useful lesson worthy of observation—With prospects raised above the things of this world, he took an affecting, tho' consoling leave of his relatives, hoping shortly to enter into life immortal, thro' the merits of the Redeemer. Reflect, reader, that religion is not a cunningly devised fable, calculated to impose upon the minds of the weak and credulous, but its precepts are divine emanations of the Holy Spirit, pointing us to our last hope— "The grave, is the subterraneous road to bliss."

For Bilious Complaints,  Dr. Lee's (Genuine) Windham Bilious Pills, PREPARED by Samuel Lee, jun. of Windham, (Conn.)—The usefulness and importance of these Pills, at this season of the year, when epidemic dis- eases, are too prevalent and when most constitutions, from predisposition and infectious atmosphere, are inclined to yellow, bilious, and inflammatory fevers, have been verified by an experience of more than twelve years. The proprietor, in consequence of the uncommon good effects of his pills and the reputation they had gained in his practice, was urged by his friends to have them patented. He at length consented; and in April, 1796, he obtained from the President of the U. States his Letters Patent. These were the first Pills ever patented in America, and their peculiar effects on the prevailing biliousness in the United States and the W. Indies soon gave them that celebrity which their intrinsic virtue merited. The same of Lees, Pills, and the ready sale they so universally meet, were truly a powerful temptation to pretenders, and very soon Billious Pills, offered into market, from all parts of the union. Some of the most clamorous of pill makers found great advan- tage from familiarity of names, and were for a while able to pass their compositions upon the public, as the true genuine, original Lees' Pills, and some have even had the effrontery to pretend to an originality in the pill business! but an acknowledgment of late, that the files of their ware have become small and circumfered, is conclusive evidence that the pub- lic have been taught by experience to be cautious how they purchase drastic preparations merely on account of the presumption and effrontery of the author. It is now more than eight years since I ob- tained my patent;—and the inextinguishable demand for my pills, which has been and is daily increas- ing, is a convincing proof of their superior virtue and salutary effects. I have no objection to the words being supplied with abundance of pills, but a conviction that the people have a right to correct information has induced me to come forward and state these facts. That the purchasers may be certain that they get the right kind; they will be particular to enquire for Lee's (Windham) Bilious Pills—and to observe that my name be attached to each bill of direction, in my own hand writing. They are for sale at most of the Druggists Store in the city of New-York; SAMUEL LEE, Jr. Patentee. of the Windham Bilious Pills. Windham, (Conn.)
