TRENTON, APRIL 21. INTERESTING LETTER.
Extract of a Letter from an Officer on board the United States frigate George Washington, to a gentleman in Trenton, dated at Sea, March 1, 1801.
We yesterday sailed from Gibraltar with a favourable wind in company with four American vessels, and at sun set took a last happy view of the shores of Europe and Africa, and believe me, I saw the land sink in the ocean, with a pleasure not to be described having for six months past experienced as singular a variety of incidents as fall to the share of one set of mortals. My letter to you, dated at Algiers in October last, by Capt. Brown of the ship Brutus, must no doubt have come to hand. Of the nature of our voyage to Constantinople you were then informed, and of the arbitrary will of the Dey, or Obains. Our ship was loaded with passengers and slaves and animals, as presents to the Grand Signior. We had, however, a fortunate passage of twenty one days to the city of Constantinople, through a difficult and unsafe navigation, and to Americans wholly new as we displayed the first American flag to the sublime Porte, and so ignorant were they of us, as a people, that it was with some difficulty we explained who we were; but when known we were received with every mark of attention to us as Americans. But the embassy of the Dey did not meet with the same favourable reception; his presents we not accepted, and the general of Marine was not admitted to an audience—his person and present, were to be detained until the Dey should declare war against the French, afford supplies to the Turkish army and give liberty to a number of slaves, &c.—The Algerine flag, which had superseded our pendant, was hauled down, and we were desired to wear our own colors. The Capt. Bashaw, who is admiral of the navy, and of high authority, treated Capt. Brainbridge with distinguished marks of attention, and is very desirous of increasing the connexion between the two countries. We found here Foreign Ministers from almost all the courts in Europe, from whom we met with the most polite attention, and our time was spent with much satisfaction to ourselves from the 11th November to 30th December, when we sailed again for Algiers. We have reason to expect that our visit to Constantinople will be attended with happy consequences to our country, tho' our situation, as individuals, was rather unpleasant. I shall take another opportunity to describe to you the appearance of the country and the extensive city of Constantinople, (which far surpasses any city I have ever seen) as well as the manners and customs of the Turks, which to me were all new and worthy of observation.
From Constantinople we brought the secretary of the general of marine, bearing the conditions of peace from the Grand Signior to the Dey, and two other officers missionaries to the Beys of Tunis and Tripoli, from whom also requisitions were made for supplies, &c. These two we landed at Malta on our return, and arrived at Algiers in twenty two days, having experienced a severe gale of wind before we got in. We here expected we should have been compelled again to have returned to Constantinople with the Dey's answer, but by the exertions of our Consul we were happily released from that servitude. The Dey has found it most prudent to comply with the demands of Grand Signior, and declared war against

France, and released about 400 slaves, chiefly Germans, Genoese and Ex Venetians, who were extremely thankful to us as the means of their liberation; so that though slaves ourselves we had given freedom to others. We were now required to perform another service. The French Consul and Citizens were ordered to leave the dominions of the Dey in thirty days; but having no vessel we were requested to take them on board and land them in some port in Spain: This was affording protection to a nation against which we had orders to cruise and make prisoners of their citizens; we however received them, with their baggage, on board, and took our departure on the 31st January, and on the 25th February we arrived at Alicante in Spain. Here we landed our passengers and on the 8th sailed for Gibraltar, where, after beating for several days against head winds and a fresh gale, we arrived on the 21st, happily in finding a people who spoke our language and looked like ourselves. We were treated here with great politeness, and not required to perform quarantine, which is usually expected; and while waiting for a fair wind to pass the Straights, we had an opportunity to view the fortifications, which for defence exceed all description on paper; the galleries cut in the rock, plied with cannon in every direction, and winding round the hill almost from the base to the summit, display the most astonishing power of labor that is possible to conceive of, and appears as if ages would have been required in the execution, yet a few years accomplished the whole. The number of troops are now about 4500, but a greater number is soon expected.
CHARACTER
Of WILLIAM PITT, written in 1796, by the Author of the Pursuits of Literature.
I AM neither a personal nor political enemy to Mr. Pitt. I think him a powerful and efficient Minister, eminently adorned with natural gifts and endowments, and solemnly marked out and elected to his great office. He has talents to conduct, to persuade, and to command. He is a scholar; I know him to be such, a ripe and good one. The low passion of avarice has no root in his mind; but the sin by which the angels fell, rages in him without measure and without control. To tell a minister, that pride was not made for him or for any man, because he has nothing which he has not received, would be to argue a gross ignorance of our fallen nature. He has no servility in him. Firm, constant and unbending, he has the principles of a man who knows and feels what is demanded of him by his country. He comes into a House of Commons, not to bow, but to do the business of the state, and he does it. There is not a subject presented to him, even casually, in which his ability is not conspicuous. He treats it as if it had been the subject of his continued meditation. In the conduct of the French war, he, his colleagues, and his allies, have been all found wanting; but in the principle, just, if not steady. I will add, that in respect to personal individual gratification, I regard Mr. Pitt, as the MOST FORTUNATE MAN upon record. Called, by the circumstances of the times, beyond human control, and by events not in the wildest range of expectation, he was placed, without his seeking it, in the highest public station. He passed at once to the innermost of the temple, without treading the vestibule. In the bloom and vigor of his faculties (for he bore the blossom and the fruit at once) and in the prime of life, when every thing can charm, that which can charm the most, POWER, was voluntarily offered to him, confirmed, constituted, and established by his King and by his country. His faults, his follies, and his blemishes (for he has all) might be easily removed, but I think he will not remove them. He felt at once, as many men have done before him, the highest ability in himself; and he found, what is denied most men of genius, a full and adequate exertion of it in high office. My hope and earnest prayer is, that the termination of his political labours, and the result of this just and tremendous war with the Republic of France, may be finally to establish "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace." Is this the language of an enemy? I respect, nay, I would defend him; I will him a long continuance in office; but I never can entertain a PERSONAL regard or affection for Mr. Pitt.
From the CENTINEL.
AGRICULTURAL.—HEMP.
FROM the high price which Hemp bears, and the prospect of but small quantities being received from the Baltic, it is to be hoped that the American farmers, from personal as well as from patriotic motive, will pay attention to this subject, and sow a good proportion of their ground with this valuable article.
Hemp is a taprooted plant, and therefore does best in a deep and free soil. It is luxuriant, and quick in its growth, and consequently requires a rich and well prepared soil. The soil which has been found to suit it best, is a rich gravelly loam, or a loose black mould, which is dry and deep. It is error to think that it needs wet soil; for it bears the draught equal to any plant. It has been found by experience to answer well on a drained swamp. It is not uncommon for one acre to yield half a ton; which at the price it now bears will bring two hundred dollars. The time for sowing is as early in the spring as the ground can be got into good order; as it is a plant not easily injured by the frost; but the middle of May will not be too late for sowing. It would be well for those who are acquainted with the raising of this important article to make it known, that those who are disposed to render their country an essential service, may commence it this spring.
LATE FOREIGN NEWS.
BY AN ARRIVAL AT BOSTON.
BERLIN, FEB. 13 th
THE following details transpired here yesterday: M. d'Haugwitz yesterday received a visit from the Hanoverian Envoy, who must doubtless have been sent to the Prussian Minister by Lord Carysfort, in order to sound him respecting the projects of his Government. He adverted to the distinction that subjects between Great-Britain and Hanover; to the state that may eventually await that Electorate which, by passing into the hands of one of the sons of the King of England, might form an independent State; to the concurrence of that Electorate to intermeddle in the existing disputes; and finally to the resolution taken by the Hanoverian Government to hold itself wholly aloof from them, to these observations the Prussian Minister thus replied: "That as his Britannic Majesty, adopted by sea whatever measures he thought proper, so the Continental Powers imagined themselves entitled to act in a similar manner with regard to their territories."
The tenor of the answer made by Mr. Rostoplin to Lord Grenville is, 'as the court of London has acted with ill faith towards Russia, his Imperial Majesty laid an embargo on the English shipping, and that he should continue that embargo until Malta was restored to the order of St. John: that these ships, and the seamen belonging to them, have been put in a place of surety: that the wants of the prisoners shall be supplied; and that the agent Schwitz shall be sent back as not being wanted; and, finally, that England should entertain no hopes of renewing her intercourse with Russia until Malta shall be restored.'
The King of Prussia said a few days ago in the midst of his court, England has gone too great length; it is time that this comedy were concluded; the English have discovered their perfidy; the moment has at length arrived for bringing them to their senses— Moniteur .
MINDEN, FEB. 25.
It is believed that the occupation of Bremen, Hamburg and the Electorate of Hanover, depends on the answer from the British Cabinet to the Note of his Prussian Majesty. A corps of troops from the interior of Prussia are on their march; its force is not exactly ascertained.
STRATSBURGH, FEB. 27.
The Emperor has already ratified the treaty of peace. He has officially communicated it to the Diet of Ratisbon. The principal Commissary, the Count de la Tour and Taxis and the Imperial Commissary, have travelled with great expedition from Vienna to Ratisbon. The chief sitting of the Diet was to take place yesterday.
A courier extraordinary arrived from Paris, has brought orders for the immediate demolition of the forts and fortresses on the right bank of the Rhine, viz. Kehl, Old Brisach, Philipsburgh, Cassel, Ehrenbreitstein and Duffelsdorf. The work was instantly begun, and such activity has been displayed at Kehl, which was burned during the war, so as that no trace of it now remains, will then be rebuilt.
WISSEL, FEB. 28.
The army of insurrection in Transylvania, under the orders of Baron de Kienmayer, and which with the Hungarian levies, is approaching the Turkish frontiers, is said, in a letter from Stratsburgh, of February 26, to have for its object the expulsion of the Turks from Europe. The French army, for the purpose of better subsistence, had, notwithstanding the signing of peace, advanced to St. Polten, within ten leagues of Vienna.
VIENNA, FEB. 17.
Lord Minto continues to assert that the English have effected a debarkation in Egypt without obstacle; but he added, without doubt to give more credit to the news, that they have been repulsed from the interior, whither they had penetrated. We must then believe that the descent has been effected by another division than that which was at the end of December, at the Bay of Makri.
PARIS, MARCH 5.
Government have this year cloathed above 40,000 prisoners of war.
It is stated positively that the King of Naples has shut his ports against the English and laid an embargo upon their shipping.
LONDON, MARCH 9.
His Majesty is recovering rapidly, and in a day or two there will be no occasion for the bulletin of health. The fever has certainly been extremely severe, and the shock received will render the King, it is apprehended, too infirm to attend immediately to the weighty cares of Government. The King, this day, did public business at Buckinghamhouse, having signed a commission to pass the bills at present in readiness. His Majesty it is rumoured, has expressed a wish that a regency should be formed until his health is thoroughly re-established.
The illustrious personages, it is said, who are to compose the regency, are the Prince of Wales the Duke of York, and her Majesty. On this subject the Prince and the Duke had a conference this morning with Mr. Pitt, and a message it is rumoured, relative to this important business, from his Majesty, will be delivered by the latter Right Hon. Gentleman to the House of Commons.
There are precedents on record for such a measure, in the reign of Geo. II. and Wm. III. It is now more than probable that Mr. Pitt and Mr. Dundas will be included in the new ministry, and Mr. Addington remain in the
capacity of a private gentleman, as that intimacy does not subsist between him and the Premier, which did previous to his relinquishing the Speaker's chair.
Earl Moira, who is constantly with the Prince, is expected to be included in the new arrangement under the regency, should such a measure be adopted. Such are the political rumours of the day.
MARCH 10—11.
A very formidable fleet is now collected in Yarmouth Roads. Lord Nelson, with his division, arrived there on Sunday, and the whole are expected to sail in a few days for the Baltic, under the command of Admiral Sir Hyde Parker—Lord Nelson's ship took on board, while in the Downs, a great number of flat-bottomed boats, and several pieces of heavy battering artillery.
MARCH 11.
The Earl of Chatham it is said is to be appointed master general of the ordnance, the duke of Portland, lord president of the council, and the right hon. Thomas Pelham, secretary of state for the home department, and to be called up to the house of peers.
Mr. Addington it is now asserted, is to be made a peer, and speaker of the house of lords; and Mr. Pitt is to be the past present and future chancellor of the exchequer.
ANTIQUITY.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Fort Harmer, on the Ohio, dated Feb. 1800.
"I must not close my letter without dealing a little in the wonderful. We have discovered the ruins of a very ancient town; it is 90 rods square, surrounded with a wall which is at this time two rods thick, and five or six feet high; and from the appearance of soil two or three growths have already added to the manure, and the present timber affords trees seven feet diameter in the walls; I cannot give a minute description without delineating it, for which I have not time at present. It is four square, with twelve gates, three on each side, and very regular: Between the town and the Ohio are regular fortifications, with towers of observation, lines of defence, outworks, &c. In the town are a number of raised grounds with regular ascents to them, probably places of worship, and a canal to lead water from town, eight rods wide—a wall on each side which is still thirty feet high in some places—the burying grounds, &c. &c.—We have made every enquiry of the inhabitants and Indians; they can give no satisfactory accounts: The Indians say their fathers do not know who made them: Then it would be mere conjecture in me to strive to unravel the secret. That they are not works of nature, is certain; and that the Indians in their present state, have not made them, is certain: Then it follows, that the present Indians are descendants of nations once acquainted with arts, or this continent was inhabited by a nation unknown who are lost in the revolutions of time, and entirely extinct: For many reasons I am apt to embrace the latter; but let either of the two be true, it convinces that we know very little respecting the first peopling of America."
Portland,
MONDAY, MAY 4, 1801.
The United States' Circuit Court, was opened in this town, on Friday last. A judicious and pertinent charge was delivered to the jury, by the Hon. judge LOWELL.
Ebenezer Mayo, Esq. does not wish to be considered as a candidate for Representative of this town.
SPAIN & PORTUGAL.
The Spanish Minister at Philadelphia, has received a copy of the declaration of war by his government against Portugal. The Manifesto states, that the French Army was to enter Portugal immediately, and operate in concert with Spanish forces. The declaration is dated Feb. 27. March 14, however, hostilities had not commenced.
FROM THE WEST-INDIES.
Capt. McLELLAN, who arrived here last Thursday, from Grenada, spoke an English ship of war, on the 11th April, the commander of which informed him that the British had taken possession of St. Bartholomew, St. Martins, St. Thomas', and St. Croix.
In corroboration of the above, the subsequent article is extracted from a Boston paper of Friday last.
"We have accounts from the West-Indies, of the surrender of the Danish Islands, St. Croix and St. Thomas; the Swedish Island, St. Bartholomew; and the French Island, St. Martins, to the British. They were all taken possession of from the 20th to the 31st of March. St. Croix surrendered, by capitulation, March 31, to Gen. Trigge, commanding the British troops, and Ad. Duckworth commanding the squadron, employed for the purpose of reducing it. No resistance was made: Gen. Fuller is the Governor. The inhabitants were directed to deliver up their arms—and to take an oath of neutrality, as conditions of their continuance on the island. The commerce with the United States is allowed to continue, under the same duties upon importations as formerly—the exports to be one half the amount of the cargoes in rum, the other in sugar. By the capitulation it was agreed, that the Danish troops and seamen should be considered prisoners of war; that the Danish laws should re-
main in force, but civil officers be removed unless agreeable to the British Commander; that the property of the inhabitants should be respected, except of French, Spanish and Danish settlers, who had become so since Jan. 1, 1799, who are also to be obliged to leave the island; that the Attorneys of absentees should be continued in office, but that for the present the property in warehouses should be sequestered, &c.
The information of the capture of St. Bartholomew, is confirmed by an arrival at New York. It capitulated March 20 to Gen. Trigge and Ad. Duckworth. The terms are probably similar to those in the capitulation of St. Croix.
Reports of the capture of St. Martins on the 23d, and St. Thomas on the 28th of March, have received at New York."
The hostile dispositions of the Barbary Tripoli, mentioned in the letter of Mr. Cochrane, satisfactorily explains the object of the small armament now fitting out in Hampton Roads. As it was expected that hostilities would be commenced by the Tripolitans against our commerce on the 22d March, it is hoped no time will be lost in forwarding the expedition.
Philadelphia.
150,000 Dollars have been expended by the Legislature of New York, since the year 1796, for the support of Common Schools throughout that State.
George Dent is appointed, by the President of the United States, Marshall of the district of Potowmac in Virginia; and not Post-Master General as reported.
The population of Philadelphia, including the Northern Liberties and Blockley Township, is found to be 58,752—the population having nearly doubled in the last 10 years, notwithstanding the calamities that city has suffered.

INTERESTING. Just received from R. BACH, New-York, (Sole Agent to Dr. SOLOMON, Liverpool.)  And for sale by S. ERVING, Middle-street, Portland, A supply of his highly esteemed Medicine ,  THE CORDIAL  Balm of Gilead, Highly celebrated for the relief and cure of Nervous Disorders, Bilious Cales, Remote Complaints, Debility, Weakness, Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Coughs and Colds, Impurity of Blood, Consumption, Head ache, Lowness of Spirits, Relaxation, &c. &c. &c. Prepared (only) by S. SOLOMON, M.D. F.R.S.E. Of the University, and College of Physicians. The Cordial Balm of Gilead is an immediate restorative and corroborant; a most powerful remedy in female disorders and suppressions, and in cases of retention of urine; also in weakness, morbid discharges, and irregularities about the turn of life. Youth of either sex, who have practiced a secret and destructive vice, and thereby relaxed, weakened and debilitated the whole nervous system, will find the Cordial Balm of Gilead the most powerful, certain and radical restorative. This medicine possesses wonderful efficacy in all ner- vous disorders, fits, head-aches, weakness, heaviness and lowness of spirits; dimness of sight, confused thoughts and wanderings of the mind, vapours and melancholy, and all kinds of hysterical complaints, gradually go off by the use of this salubrious cordial. In ticklish of the stomach, in flatulencies and obstructions, it is a safe powerful and efficacious remedy. The first symptoms of its good effects are serenity and cheerfulness.— Price 3 dollars each bottle. The greatest clearer and beautifier of the Face, is undoubtedly  Andrew's Specific Lotion. This celebrated Lotion has received the highest en- comiums from the inhabitants of N. York, and from many Medical characters in Europe and this country. Who having seen its good effects, do not hesitate to give their sanction. As a speedy, effectual and safe rem- edy, it is unrivaled, and has performed cures in this country, when Medical aid, and Gowland's and many other lotions could give no relief. For eruptions and impurities of the face, from what- ever cause arising— Pimples, Freckles, Blotches, Sunburn, Ringworms, —AND— Carbuncles, Impediments of the skin of Brackwoms, PAINTS. It need only to be tried to convince the most timid of its superior efficacy in clearing and beautify- ing the face—it is warranted to be harmless to the delicate constitution, and innocent to the most deli- cate complexion—on the contrary, this will restore the skin to its wonted purity, and preserve the first oppor- tunity and classic. Each bottle has a certificate signed by the pro- prietor, without which it cannot be genuine. It is sold in bottles, with directions, (price one dol- lar each) by S. ERVING. Portland, May 4.
