FROM THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE COURT & CABINET OF ST. CLOUD.
BONAPARTE'S DISCIPLINE.
Paris, Sept. 1805.
MY LORD,
SINCE my return here, I have never neglected to present myself before our sovereign, on his days of grand reviews, and grand diplomatic audiences. I never saw him more condescending, more agreeable, or, at least, less offensive, than on the day of his last levee, before he set out to be inaugurated a king of Italy; nor worse tempered, petulant, agitated, abrupt, and rude, than on his first grand audience after his arrival from Milan when this ceremony had been performed. I am not the only one who made this remark; he did not disguise either his good or ill humour; and it was only requisite to have eyes and ears to see and be disgusted at the difference of behaviour.
I have heard a female friend of Madame Bonaparte explain, in part, the cause of this alteration. Just before he set out for Italy, the agreeable news of the success of the first Rochefort squadron in the West Indies and the escape of our Toulon fleet from the vigilance of Lord Nelson, highly elevated his spirits, as it was the first naval enterprise of any consequence since his reign. I am certain that one grand naval victory would flatter his vanity and ambition more than all the glory of one of his most brilliant continental campaigns. He had also, at that time; great expectations that another negotiation with Russia would keep the continent submissive under his dictature, until he should find an opportunity of crushing your power. You may be sure that he had no small hopes of striking a blow in your country, after a junction of our fleet with the Spanish; not by any engagement between our Breton fleet and your channel fleet, but under a supposition that you would detach squadrons to the East and West Indies, in search of the combined fleet which by an unexpected return, according to orders, would have then left us masters of the Channel, and if joined by the Batavian fleet perhaps even of the North Sea. By the incomprehensible activity of Lord Nelson, and by the defeat (or, as we call it here, the negative victory) of Villeneuve and Gravina, all this first prospect had vanished. Our vengeance against a nation of shopkeepers, we were not only under the necessity of postponing, but from the unpolitic threats and treaties of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, with those of Vienna and St. James's, we were on the eve of a continental war, and our gun-boats instead of being useful in carrying an army to the destruction of the tyrants of the seas, were burdensome, as an army was necessary to guard them, and to prevent these tyrants from capturing or destroying them. Such changes in so short a period of time as three months, might irritate a temper less patient than that of Napoleon on the first.
At his grand audience here, even after the army of England had moved towards Germany, when the die was cast, and his mind should, therefore, have been made up, he was almost insufferable. The low bows, and the still humbler expressions of the Prussian ambassador, the Marquis of Lucchesini, were hardly noticed; and the Saxon Ambassador, Count de Bureau, was addressed in a language that no well-bred master ever uses in speaking to a menial servant. He did not call a look, or utter a word, that was not an insult to the audience, and a disgrace to his rank. I never before saw him vent his rage and disappoint-
ment so indiscriminately. We were, indeed, (if I may use the term,) humbled and trampled upon en masse . Some he put out of countenance, by staring angrily at them; others he shocked by his hoarse voice, and harsh words; and all—all of us were afraid, in our turn, of experiencing something worse than our neighbours. I observed more than one minister, and more than one general, change color, and even perspire, at his majesty's approach.
I believe the members of the foreign diplomatic corps here will agree with me, that, at a future congress, the restoration of the ancient and becoming etiquette of the kings of France would be as desirable a point to demand from the Emperor of the French, as the restoration of the balance of power.
Before his army of England quitted its old quarters on the coast, the officers and men often felt the effects of his ungovernable temper. When several regiments of grenadiers, of the Division of Oudinot, were defiling before him on the 25th of last month, he frequently, and severally, though without cause, reproached their manner of marching, and once rode up to capt. Fournois, pushed him forwards with the point of a small cane, calling out "Sacre Dieu! advance, you walk like a turkey." In the first moment of indignation, the captain striking at the cane with his sword, made a push or a gesture, as if threatening the person of Bonaparte, who called out to his Aid-de-camp, Savary, "dismount the villain, and arrest him!" "It is unnecessary," the captain replied, "I have served a tyrant, and merit my fate!"—so saying, he thrust his sword through his heart. His whole company stopped instantly, as at a word of command, and a general murmur was heard.
"Lay down your arms, and march out of the file instantly," commanded Bonaparte, "or you shall be cut down for your mutiny by my guides."—They hesitated for a moment, but the guides advancing to surround them, they obeyed, and were disarmed. On the following afternoon, by a special military commission, each 10th man was condemned to be shot; but Bonaparte pardoned them, upon condition of serving for life in the colonies; and the whole company was ordered to the colonial depots. The widow and five children of capt. Fournois, the next morning threw themselves at the Emperor's feet, presenting a petition, in which they stated that the pay of the captain had been their only support—"Well," replied Buonaparte to the kneeling petitioners, "Fournois was both a fool and a traitor; but, nevertheless, I shall take care of you." Indeed, they have been so well taken care of, that nobody knows what has become of them.
I am almost certain that I am not telling you what you did not know before-hand, in informing you that the spirit of our troops is greatly different from that of Germans, and even from that of your own country. Every one of our soldiers would prefer being shot to being beat or caned.—Flogging is with us out of the question. It may, perhaps be national vanity, but I am doubtful whether any other army upon the globe is, or can be, governed, with regard to discipline, in a less violent and more delicate manner; and nevertheless be kept in subordination, and perform the most brilliant exploits. Remember, I speak of our spirit of subordination and discipline, and not of our character as citizens, as patriots, or as subjects. I have often hinted it, but, I believe, I have not explained myself so fully before; but my firm opinion and persuasion is, that, with regard to our loyalty, our duty, and our moral and political principles, I do not think that another such an inconsistent and despicable people exists in the universe.
The condition of the slave is certainly in itself that of vileness; but it is that slave a vile being, who for a blow
pierces his bosom because he is unable to avenge it? And what epithet can be given him, who braves voluntarily a death seemingly certain, not from the love of his country, but from a principle of honour, almost incompatible with the dishonor of bondage.
During the siege of York Town, in America, we had, during one night, erected a battery, with intent to blow up a place which, according to the report of our spies, was your magazine of ammunition, &c. We had not time to finish it before day-light; but one loaded twenty-four pounder was mounted and our cannoniers, the moment he was about to fire it, was killed. Six more of our men, in the same attempt, experienced the same fate. My regiment constituted the advanced guard nearest to the spot, and la Fayette brought me the order from the Commander in Chief, to engage some of my men upon that desperate undertaking. I spoke to them, and two advanced, but were both instantly shot by your sharpshooters. I then looked at my grenadiers without uttering any thing, when, to my sorrow, one of my best and most orderly men advanced, saying: "My colonel, permit me to try my fortune!" Having assented, he went coldly amidst hundreds of bullets whistling around his ears, set fire to the cannon, which blew up a depot of powder as was expected, and in the confusion returned unhurt. La Fayette then presented him with his purse. "No, Sir," replied he, "money did not make me venture upon such a perilous undertaking." I understood my man, promoted him to a sergeant, and recommended him to Rochambeau, who, in some months procured him the commission of a sublieutenant. He is now one of Bonaparte's field-marshals, and the only one of that rank who has no crimes to reproach himself with.—This man was the soldier of a despot, but was his action that of a man of honor, which a staunch republican of ancient Rome would have been proud of? Who can explain this contradiction?
This anecdote about Fournois I heard Gen. Savary relate at Madame Duchatel's, as a proof of Bonaparte's generosity and clemency which he affirmed excited the admiration of the whole camp at Boulogne. I do not suppose this officer to be above thirty years of age, of which he has passed the first twenty-five in orphan-houses or in watch-houses: but no tyrant ever had a more cringing slave, or a more abject courtier. His affection to excel every thing that Bonaparte does, right or wrong, is at last become so habitual, that it is naturalized, and you may mistake that for sincerity which is nothing but imposture or flattery.
This son of a Swiss porter is now one of Bonaparte's adjutant-generals, a colonel of the Gens d'Armes d'Elite, a general of brigade in the army, and a commander of the Legion of Honor—all these places he owes, not to valour or merit, but to abjectness, immorality and servility. When an aid de-camp with Bonaparte in Egypt, he served him as a spy on his comrades, and on officers of the staff; and was so much detested, that near Aboukir several shots were fired at him in his tent, by his own countrymen. He is supposed still to continue the same espionage; and as a colonel of the Gens d'Armes d'Elite, he is charged with the secret execution of all proscribed persons or state prisoners, who have been secretly condemned; a commission that a despot gives to a man he trusts, but dares not offer to a man he esteems. He is so well known, that, the instant he enters a society, silence immediately follows, and he has the whole conversation to himself. This he is stupid enough to take for a compliment, or a mark of respect, or an acknowledgment of his superior parts and intelligence; when, in fact, it is a direct reproach with which prudence arms itself against suspected or known dishonesty.
Besides his wife, he has to support six other women whom he has seduced and ruined; and notwithstanding the numerous opportunities his master has procured him of pillaging and enriching himself, he is still much in debt; but to his creditors, were they indiscreet enough to ask for their payments! the secret tribunal would soon seize them, and transport them, or deliver them over to the hands of their debtors, to be shot as traitors or conspirators.
The following piece of biting and exulting sarcasm is from the Connecticut Courant and will be severely felt by those who have for these six years been promising to the discontented a speedy revolution in that State, and who find themselves growing continually weaker by their profligate exertions.—U. S. Gaz.
Messrs. Hudson & Goodwin,
The issue of the late election demands the gratitude of all good men towards those who have contributed to produce it.
To Mr. Wolcott, the Stage Manager, we owe much for that splendid part which he has taken, and for permitting the federalists to gain the election in more than two thirds of the towns, when according to his circular letter of the 28th of August there was a majority of republican votes in the state—such an act of clemency will be remembered while the name of State Managers remains.
To this county, town and district managers, our gratitude is due in proportion to their spheres of action and grades of office not forgetting Mr. Joshua Stow and his saddle bags.
To the guests on Litchfield hill who celebrated the 4th of July on the 6th of August and bowed at the jail to Selick Osborn, we bow with due respect; and would propose that Mr. Osborn be liberated, as his imprisonment has revolutionized the county and thus answered his purpose.
To the committee who have reported weekly the state of his body and mind, we tender our acknowledgements.
To Judge Pennington and the Newark democrats whose kindness was manifested towards a suffering patriot, and who condescended to interfere with the doings of our court of law in the punishment of offenders we tender our hearty thanks and with the great and good judge, much joy on the issue of his labour of love.
To William Duane, of Philadelphia, that patriot of '76, and to Samuel H. Smith, of Washington, that national smoothingplane, we tender our cordial acknowledgements for their exertions to obtain subscriptions for Osborn's paper, also for the very just accounts which they have given the union of the conviction and punishment of their friend.
To all the democratic editors of newspapers who have by whining, crying and lying, wherever dispersed we send our felicitations, earnestly begging, that they would continue to assist the people of Connecticut in maintaining their present happy state of things, by abusing our courts, legislature and magistrates, and by publishing from time to time the lamentations of our convicts.
We cannot close our remarks without requesting the State Manager to appoint another festival; and we would recommend, with humility and respect, that it be holden in the month of March, which will be the anniversary of Osborn's trial and conviction.
THE PEOPLE.
Sept. 13, 1806.
FROM THE U. S. GAZETTE.
Spanish Minister.—We beg leave to recommend to the attention of our vigorous and high spirited administration the following note written by Mr. Secretary Vernon by order of the king of England, dated the 30th Sept. 1699, and sent to the Spanish ambassador then residing at the court of London.
"His majesty having seen the paper which the secretary of the embassy of Spain has lately delivered, by order of your excellency, to several of the lords justices of the kingdom; his majesty has found the contents so insolent and seditious, that in resentment of so extraordinary a proceeding, and which can by no means be justified by the law of nations, he orders that you go out of his dominions

travels in eighteen days, to be counted from this notification, and that you keep in your house, without going out of the limits of it, till your departure. I am also commanded to let you know, that these are the orders of his majesty, that no writing be any more received from you or any of your domesticks."
This statement is extracted from Prior's history of his own time, and it is somewhat remarkable that the historian says not a word of the ambassador having returned for answer that he would remain as long as it should suit the interest of the king his master or his own personal convenience. Nor do we hear of his having remained for a twelve month after, in the exercise of his ministerial functions without any means being adopted to enforce the order thus peremptorily given. We are not even informed that the ambassador of his Catholic majesty would receive no orders except from the King his master. How much better these things are managed in our days, and in this our republican government, where the rulers know how to maintain the rights and dignity of the people. A minister here, instead of sneaking home merely because he is ordered away by the government for what they are pleased to consider as insolent and seditious conduct, puts his fit in their faces and tells them, that he will go when it suits his own convenience; and they to show their magnanimity and moderation, agree to the proposition; upon which his court furnish him with a confirmation of his credentials, commend him for his faithful services, and then he informs the government that it will not suit his convenience to go at all. How fortunate it is that we have not a Washington or an Adams to tyrannize over us, and sport with our tranquility! Had one of them ordered away a minister, he would very probably insisted on his going; and in that way might have angered the court of Spain, and perhaps Buonaparte might have got his back up too. Now they feel as much kindness and respect for us as a master does for his spaniel, who instead of snarling and biting when he is caged and kicked, meekly lies down and licks the foot by which it is spurned.
Foreign Intelligence.
ON AN ARRIVAL AT NEWYORK—ENGLISH PAPERS AS LATE AS AUGUST 25, HAVE BEEN RECEIVED.
LONDON, AUG. 20.
Lord Caledon the new Governor of the Cape of Good-Hope, embarks immediately for his province. His suite, horses, &c. were put on board the Mairmaid frigate yesterday.
The Captain, 74 and Ganges, 74 are to join the expedition for the Mediterranean.
Three hundred dismounted dragoons, and company of artillery yesterday embarked on board the Canopus, 80 guns, Theseus, 74 and Malta, 84; which are to sail immediately on an expedition. Gen. Grey, embarks on board the Sampson, 64; and Lord Pacet, in the Repulse, 74. The transports, with troops failed for Deal yesterday.
MR. FOX,
Gains fresh strength every day. He has been able to walk through his apartments. He yesterday walked in his garden in conversation with the Marquis of Douglas previous to his departure for Russia. Mr. Fox will in a few days remove to his country house at St. Ann's hill.
Dr. Erskine set off on Thursday, to embark for the United States; and Mr. Braham, on the same day quit London on a mission to Lisbon.
It is said, the 13th, 14th and 15th regiments will be ordered to embark for Portugal, to assist in the defence of that kingdom; which if found impracticable to repair, to South America, with the Court.
AUG. 21. —We have received The Lyden Gazette of the 15th, containing the Paris news to the 11th instant. Among the latter are some very interesting extracts from the Paris papers, upon the subject of the negotiation with this country. It was reported that Talleyrand declined seeing the Earl of Lauderdale for
some days after his Lordship's arrival at Paris; and some foreign papers had also stated that his Lordship had been introduced to Buonaparte. The extracts from the Paris Journals in the Lyden Gazette contradict both these reports. They state, that the negotiations commenced by Lord Yarmouth, are continued with great activity, by Lord Lauderdale. His Lordship it is said, had a long conference with M. Talleyrand on the 6th, the day after his arrival in that city; the result of which was sent off to London, but he was not presented on the 6th to Buonaparte, it being contrary to etiquette, that this ceremony should take place until after the signing of a treaty of Peace. Great attention and respect are said to be paid to the English Negotiator. Every thing that could give offence is strictly prohibited by the Government; and the Police have been directed to remove all caricatures, that tend to ridicule or reflect upon this country, from the print shops and places of public exhibition.
AUG. 22. —The Moniteur , which is the Gazette of the French Government, in its number of the 13th inst. contains the following important article:
"We esteem ourselves fortunate in obtaining the information necessary to put the public on their guard against the rumours which are at present in circulation, and which we are authorized to communicate.
"All the difficulties which existed in Germany have been removed. Austria has acknowledged the Confederation of the Rhine; and the title of the Emperor of Austria confers upon this House a title equal to those of other Imperial Houses.
"Prussia has acknowledged the Confederation of the Rhine, as well as the late arrangement in Germany.
"His Majesty the King of Prussia has appointed M. De Humboldt his Minister Plenipotentiary to Naples. He has also appointed Ministers to the King of Holland, and to the Duke of Cleves and Berg.
"The Emperor of Austria has also acknowledged the King of the two Sicilies.
"The orders are preparing for the Staff for the return of the Grand Army; and the fete on account of the peace, will take place at the end of September, as we before mentioned.
"The affairs of the continent are in that state of arrangement at present, that it may look to permanent tranquility. Gold and corruption would be thrown in vain; there is not a Prince who would be willing to sell the blood of his subjects.
"The ratification of the Treaty of Peace with Russia will be exchanged at St. Petersburg on the 15th inst. and all the information which has been lately received from the great capital, furnishes fresh proofs of the pacific disposition of the Emperor Alexander, and of his desire to contribute to the general peace."
AUG. 23. We are happy in being able to state that Lords Holland and Auckland are just appointed Plenipotentiaries, in order to negotiate with Messrs. Pinckney and Monroe, concerning the difficulties which have arisen between the United States and Great-Britain.
The papers, which lately announced a dissolution of Parliament immediately after the harvest, now assure us, that ministers have no such intention, and that unless in case of a failure of the negotiation, a dissolution will not take place until March next.
France may cut and carve the South of Europe at her will and pleasure. She may raise Dukedoms into Kingdoms, and reduce Kingdoms to Duchies. She may dethrone legitimate Princes, and put in their places favorite Generals and artful Courtiers; but that is the extent of her power. The fleets of England circumscribe her dominion, and limit her exertions.—They cut her off from Africa, Asia, and America.
We stated, on Tuesday se'nnight, that Portugal was threatened by some new danger, and that the Prince Regent was preparing to leave his country, and settle in the Brazils. It is said to be the fixed determination of Buonaparte to dismember the Spanish Monarchy, and to annihilate that of Portugal, in favor the profligate
Prince of Peace—that the provinces of Biscay, Navarre, Catalonia, and one half of Arragon, are to be consolidated as a Kingdom for that infamous betrayer and enslaver of his Country; and that Portugal is held out to the miserable instrument of the French Despot, the King of Spain, as a desirable compensation for his antient domains!
LOSS OF THE QUEBEC FLEET.
Mercantile Chronicle office, Cork, August 15, Four o'clock.
Our Courier has just arrived from Cove, with the following information:
The transport ship Osborne, Capt. Moffatt, has arrived in this harbor. Her intelligence is of a very disagreeable nature.—She made one of a Fleet of twenty two Sail, which left Quebec, under Convoy, of His Majesty's ship Champion. Three of that number were transports having on board the 6th regiment of foot, consisting of four hundred and sixty seven men; the other ships were merchantmen and mail ships. On the 15th inst. seven of the Convoy parted at different periods of the day; and on the same day they fell in with a strange sail, which, when within four miles of the Champion not answering the private signal, was intimated to the ships of the fleet to disperse. It was shortly discovered that the strange ship was an enemy and a line of battle ship. She was observed to board five sail during the day which were set on fire. Another sail was distinguished to leeward, bearing S. by E. which had also the appearance of a man of war, and as a fire was discernible in that direction, she was also judged to be an enemy. From the situation in which the fleet was then the Osborne escaped it is strongly to be apprehended, that the entire of it was either captured or destroyed. We are not specially informed of the fate of the Champion, from the short distance she was from the enemy, her escape was considered impossible. The Osborne has part of the 6th foot on board.
DEAL, AUGUST 21.
Mr. Basilico, the messenger, arrived this afternoon in the Speculator lugger from France. He is said to be the bearer of dispatches of the utmost importance, as an express was sent off to stop the transports.
According to report, the transports with troops from the Downs and Portsmouth, have been forced to put into Torbay.
By the Sails.
LANCASTER, OCT. 10.
Good News. —We have heard from all the townships, except three, in the whole county of Lancaster, & we have not yet heard of a single inspector being appointed, who is not a decided friend of the constitution.
Mr. Merry, the British Ambassador, and his lady, left Lancaster yesterday morning, for the federal city. During a stay of five or six weeks among us, their amiable deportment justly procured them the respect and attention of all who had an opportunity of enjoying their company.— Lancaster paper.
BOSTON, OCT. 17.
Capt. Johnson, at New-York, from Martinique, informs, that the town of Rosseau, Dominique, with the fort, was nearly destroyed in a storm Sept. 10. 700 persons lost their lives; most of them perished in their cellars. Those who escaped were without provisions; but were, much to the credit of the French, relieved from Martinique. The plantations in general were destroyed.
Another account says, all the vessels in the harbor of Rosseau were destroyed; that 300 persons, who were on board the vessels, perished; and that half the town was in ruins. No American vessel is mentioned as being lost.
A Baltimore editor complains and scolds about the election of Mr. Key, (a Federal Republican,) to Congress. But he was chosen by a majority of the people of his district, and surely that should shut the mouth of a democrat.
The "Life of William Pitt, with biographical notices of his principal friends," has been published by Mr. Watts, of Philadelphia, in a duodecimo volume, ornamented with a likeness of Mr. Pitt.
Tenth Congress.
FOR THE PORTLAND GAZETTE.
To the voters for members of Congress.
ON the first Monday of November next, will devolve on you the important duty of electing from among your fellow citizens, representatives to the next Congress; and it is a subject that ought to command your serious attention. I have often been surprised to see the right of suffrage, which is the palladium of our rights, liberties and independence, trifled with or neglected in a manner it frequently is on days of election. Too many appear to be unmindful that this important privilege was secured to us at a no less price than the toil and blood of our greatest patriots and most distinguished citizens. Is there not reason to fear, that through the arts and intrigues of designing and ambitious characters, who, while they are proclaiming their own disinterestedness, and influenced only by a love for the people, they adopt this mode the better to conceal the real and ultimate object of all their exertions, which is the acquisition of power and the gratification of private ends?
These things call loudly on the people to distinguish between their sincere and pretended friends. Perhaps at no period since the adoption of the federal constitution has the situation of this country required the services of men, distinguished for talents, firmness, and patriotism, more than the present. Duty to your selves and posterity demand that you pay a suitable attention to this important subject.
PUBLIC GOOD.
FOR THE PORTLAND GAZETTE.
MR. ADAMS,
Several artful men in the county of York are industriously propagating reports extremely unfavourable to the federal name and character in that county; they have the confidence to insinuate, that the Federalists abandoning their principles and candidate, would unite in support of Mr. Bartlett as representative to Congress for this district: A calumny more unfounded and prejudicial could not be invented. Is it possible for men, who have heretofore had occasion to boast of the purity of their principles, and of the merit of their Candidate, now to abandon both, and condescend to support a person, who has, in a great measure, been given up by his own democratic friends? If he were even a convert to federalism, (which is impossible,) can any one imagine that were confidence ought to be reposed in him by his new friends, than by his old? Can any one suppose, by a change of principle (if a change were possible) that the man is changed or made better? In fact the absurdity of these reports destroy their credibility. When the friends of Mr. Bartlett are questioned as to the grounds of these reports, they tell you he has assurance of support from several of his brethren of the Bar: But if it were even true that some of the profession would sacrifice their principles to their interest, or that others, not remarkable for any kind of sobriety, should from fellow-feeling make common cause with Mr. Bartlett; still it by no means follows, that the federalists in general would be deceived, or that the influence of those gentlemen of the bar, would be very extensive among the honest and independent yeomanry of the county.
Federalists of the county of York! You are solemnly called upon to be upon your guard against the wiles and intrigues of your artful adversaries; who would, were it possible, deceive even the elect. They say you are to have no candidate, that the federal name and principle are to be extinct: Is it possible for the principle to become extinct, which is the vital spark of every republic and whose existence must be commensurate with our federal-republican institutions? And as a suitable character to represent you in the next congress,
the Hon. Joseph Leland Esq.
has been nominated; whose merit and services are too well known in the district, to need panegyric, and too auspicious, to be neglected by an enlightened people.
A FRIEND TO MERIT: but a foe to "professed office-seekers." York, Oct. 10, 1806.
We have received two other communications, both in favor of the Hon. JOSEPH LELAND, Esq. as a candidate for member of Congress for York District.
If talents, unshaken integrity, attachment to the federal constitution, and the principles of republican government—if to have fought in person for that independence which gave us a rank
among the nations of the world, entitle a man to the support of the respectable and intelligent yeomanry of York County, Mr. LELAND will receive their suffrages for representative to the next Congress: an office which he is eminently qualified to fill with honor to himself and the community.
Portland,
Monday, October 20, 1806.
From Europe.
SINCE our last, French papers to the 31st of August, have been received at New-York; but they afford no intelligence which can be relied on, as to the continuance of the war between France and England.
Lord Lauderdale was at Paris, and the negotiation was still pending.

Mr. Basilico the messenger from the English negotiator at Paris, arrived in London the 26th, with dispatches which were laid before a Cabinet Council, but the result was not made public.
Mr. Fox was fast recovering from his late indisposition, and will be able to attend to the duties of his office in a short time.
One of the complaints in The Paris Moniteur against England is, that any intercourse should be kept up with Dessalines; but surely he has as much right to be the Emperor of Hayti as Buonaparte has to be the Emperor of France. If the present negotiations should happen to end in Peace, we may reasonably expect, upon the same principle, that the Haytian Gazette will contain a complaint against us for carrying on any intercourse with Buonaparte.— London paper.
Admiral COCHRANE. —The London Courier of Aug. 16, has the following paragraph respecting Admiral C's declining a battle with Jerome's squadron.— Palladium.
"The feelings of our readers in perusing the letter from St. Thomas in yesterday's Courier , corresponded, we have no doubt, with our own. A respectable paper of this morning states, that many harsh reflections were, in consequence, cast upon Ad. Cochrane. But it is not Admiral Cochrane upon whom harsh reflections should be cast—a brave, active, and gallant Officer, the whole of his conduct affords us a sufficient guarantee that not the slightest blame is imputable to him. If the letter from St. Thomas be true, we are sure that he will qualify himself for declining an engagement under the disparity of force of his own squadron to that of the enemy. But why was his force inferior? Why were the hearts of our gallant sailors to be suffered to be almost broken, by being forced to decline an engagement with the enemy? The harsh reflections should not be cast upon Ad. Cochrane, but upon the Administration."
Extract of a letter dated Wilmington (Del.) December 9.
"Our election for representatives to Congress and State Legislatures was held on the 7th inst. and I have the pleasure to inform you, that Mr. James M. Broom is re-elected without opposition, and that our legislature is decidedly federal."
The following portrait of American enterprise on the ocean, says the Norfolk Ledger , was drawn by Edmund Burke, in a speech delivered in the House of Commons two and thirty years since. This is a people whom our philosophical rulers would persuade to abandon the ocean, who, while (as the orator says) in the gristle, exhibited such wonderful enterprise.—"As to the wealth which the colonies have drawn from the sea by their fisheries, you had all that matter fully opened at your bar. You surely thought these acquisitions of value, for they seemed even to excite your envy; and yet the spirit by which that enterprising employment has been exercised ought rather, in my opinion, to have raised your esteem and admiration.—And pray, Sir, what in the world is equal to it? Pass by the other parts, and look at the manner in which New-England people have of late carried on the whale fishery. Whilst we follow them among the tumbling mountains of ice, and behold them penetrating into the deepest frozen recesses of Hudson's Bay, and Davis's Straights; whilst we are looking for them beneath the ice

Poetry.
In the following song, the landman, not less than the mariner, will find those tender images which find their way directly to the heart.—P. Fol.
SWEET is the ship that under sail Spreads her white bosom to the gale; Sweet, oh, sweet's the flowing can; Sweet to poise the laboring car; That tugs us to our native shore, When the boatman pipes the barge to man, Sweet falling with a favoring breeze, But oh! much sweeter than all these Is Jack's delight, his lovely Nan.
The needle, faithful to the north, To shew of constancy the worth; A curious lesson teaches man. The needle time may rust, a squall Capsize the binacle and all, Let seamanship do all it can: My love in worth shall higher rise, Nor time shall rust, nor squalls capsize My faith and truth to lovely Nan.
When in the bilboes I was penn'd, For serving of a worthless friend, And every creature from me ran: No ship performing quarantine Was ever so deserted seen; None hail'd me, woman, child, or man, But tho' false friendship's fails were fail'd, Though cut adrift from all the world, I'd all the world in lovely Nan.
I love my duty, love my friend, Love truth and merit to defend; To moan their loss who hazard ran; I love to take an honest part, Love beauty and a spotless heart, By manners love to shew the man; To sail through life by honor's breeze, 'Twas all along of loving these First made me doat on lovely Nan.
To a lady, who wished the author a good night. DEAR Nancy, why wish me good night?— As I live! It is to wish what you freely can give.

TRAITS OF GENEROSITY.
When the Archduke Charles was on his way from Bohemia to take the command of the army of Germany, as he approached the scene of action, he fell in with a number of wounded, abandoned by their companions on the road for want of horses to draw the carriages in their retreat. The prince immediately ordered the horses to be bayoneted from several pieces of cannon that were already retreating, saying, that these brave men were better worth saving than a few pieces of cannon. When General Moreau heard of this benevolent act, he ordered their cannon to be restored, observing, "That he'd take no cannon, that were abandoned from such humane motives."
Dr. Darwin, who has the happy art of illustrating from the most familiar circumstances in real life the abstract theories of philosophy, gives us the following picturesque instance of the use of varying motives to prolong exertion:
A little boy, who was tired of walking, begged of his papa to carry him.—"Here," says his father, "ride on my gold-headed cane." The pleased child, putting it between his legs galloped away with delight.
Alexander the great, also, one day saw a poor man carrying upon his shoulders a very heavy load of silver for the royal camp: the man tottered under his burden and was ready to give up the point from fatigue.—"Hold on my friend, the rest of the way, and carry it to your own tent, for it is yours," said Alexander.
When the body of the illustrious hero of Trafalgar was put into a cask of spirits to be transported to old England, the bung accidentally fell out and one of his Lordship's fingers made its appearance at the opening. A seaman who had for some years served in the admiral's ship, seized the hand, and giving it a cordial gripe, at the same time wiping away a tear that glistened on his weather beaten cheek, exclaimed, "D—u me old boy, if you are not in better spirits, than any of us."
The Count de Gresse being wounded in the knee with a musket ball, the surgeon made many incisions. Losing patience, at last he asked them why they cut and carved so cruelly? "We seek for the ball," said they. "Why the devil did you not speak before? (said the Count) I have it in my pocket."
A person having purchased a wild turkey, was extolling the goodness of wild food in general, and observed, that in proportion to the agility of any animal, so was his meat the better. A wit replied; "Fowls must be excellent, then."

Rag Fair. THIS business may appear singular to some, though not uncommon in many parts of the world, and appears to give an opportunity of accommodating all classes of people.
The wealthy can clear their houses of all kind of cast, cloathing men, women and children of all description—in particular, mourning garments that may be out-grown, out of fashion and useless to them—which, if they could be purchased reasonably, would accommodate many a worthy family who are not in a situation to do what custom calls for—and may have many to provide for, which could be very reasonably clad, at a small expense, and in a decent manner, at a time when there are loud calls for economy. The subscriber proposes to wait on any family who may wish to assist her in this line of business, and take such things as they may think best to part with, and allow what they may be judged to be reasonably worth; or take them on such terms as may appear most consistent with the nature of the business—being persuaded if encouragement be given, it will be to general satisfaction. Oct. 13.

THE subscribers have been appointed the Managers, agreeably to an act passed at the last Session of the Legislature, for the purpose of raising an additional sum by Lottery, to complete the Locks and Canal at Amoskeag Falls, in New-Hampshire, respectfully offer the Public the following
Scheme of the Ninth Class.

Prizes will not be paid unless demanded with in one year from the drawing.
