Poetry.
The following Song, written by Mr. CHARLES PRENTISS, was sung in Paris, at the late celebration of American Independence:
I. ROUND the festive board gathered, let's honor the day, That of blest Independence first gave the bright ray: Tho' to France that fair goddess has fled long ago, We still have her shadow to hug, fire, you know.
Derry down, &c.
II. Nor did we Independence for nothing exchange: Oh what lands we'd to boot, and how boundless the range; Lands as useful to us, lands as much too our own, As are diamonds unfound—or as rocks in the moon.
Derry down, &c.
III. Ladd abounding with Salt—would to Heaven that some From the mountain of Salt to our Congress might come, For a little fine Salt will make cow's young thrive faster, And what's Congress Hall now but the nation's calf-pasture.
Derry down, &c.
IV. Sister France wanted cash; nothing else would content her: Fifteen millions of dollars we cheerfully sent her. It is nonsense to grudge such a trifle of cash; For "who steals my purse, sir, steals nothing but trash."
Derry down, &c.
V. Sister France was displeas'd, and sent ever Turreau, The mighty benefit of his sovereign to shew; "With the freemen of Hayti," said he, "stop your trade;"— Mr. Jefferson trembled, and Congress obey'd.
Derry down, &c.
VI. With his whiskers of wrath, and his eyes all on fire, For more cash the French plenipo shew'd a desire: Thro' fear of offending we heard, and sent on's just two paltry millions, as a nest of mice.
Derry down, &c.
VII. Yet still we are free—we are free, first, to dance To whatever tune shall be ordered by France, And the nation is free too—to follow the fiddle Of Sloan, Bedinger, Crowninshield, Varum, and Bidwell.
Derry down, &c.
VIII. If insulted by Britain; our seamen impress'd: Our harbors invaded;—how soon we're redress'd! Redress'd by a law, meant to make us look big, A non importation act just worth a fig.
Derry down, &c.
IX. Redress'd by the building of huge seventy-fours, And the voting of millions to strengthen our shores, Look, in short, first, around, mid the earth's mighty nations; There are none have such Spirit, and so little patience.
Derry down, &c.
X. What acres of land have we purchas'd of Spain! We've now nothing to do, but to purchase again; After which, e'er fair peace long o'er Europe has shewn, Bonaparte will claim the whole land for his own.
Derry down, &c.
XI. Yet still independent our country remains; We depend not for council on men who have brains: On a brave, wise or good man, to govern the realm, We depend not—for Jefferson stands at the helm.
Derry down, &c.
XII. Yet we surely are safe from all ills that might come— If a few geese's gabbling once sav'd an ancient Rome.
XIII. What stronger protection, first, may not be found At Washington, where such great numbers abound.
Derry down, &c.
XIV. What patriots we have now! For Sullivan would Serve while our unfortunate state—if he could: But the people consent not to yield to his whim So he'll let it alone—if it's all one to him.
Derry down, &c.
XV. "Our General" was honor'd—if honor you say 'tis, But—the road to such honor—ah, what a vile way 'tis. He refus'd to accept—and he needs not be reaz'd; For his friends and his foes are both equally pleas'd.
Derry down, &c.
XVI. There may, let it rightly, first, be understood, Out of our immense evils be bro't fourth much good; For with some grave divines this sweet doctrine is found: The more sin there shall be, the more grace shall abound.
Derry down, &c.
XVI.
Now tho' Jacobin clouds veil the hemisphere o'er, And the winds of democracy round us may roar; Let us never despair, but be jocund and gay; For—the night's darkest moment is just before day. Derry down, &c.
Political.
From the Political and Commercial Register.
AT the last celebration of our national Independence, the worshippers of Mr. Jefferson have presumed to bring forward the character of their idol, in a style of exclusive pretention, which ought not to pass without observation.
Among the ridiculously inflated sentiments, which they have been pleased to express of his worth, we find the following:
"THOMAS JEFFERSON; the man who established the glory of America!"
Could the propagation of this absurd falsehood be limited to the mercenary dependents of Mr. Jefferson, or to those circles where his character is truly understood, animadversion would be superfluous....and the broad ridicule, which the sentiment, contrasted with the character, conveys, would amply punish the imposture. But, as a gross deception is intended, and may be widely diffused, it is the part of justice, and a duty to the real heroes and patriots of our country, to destroy the assumption, and to expose, and counteract the fraud.
Will the admirers of Mr. Jefferson be pleased to tell the world, on what part of his conduct in private or in public life, this exclusive claim to establishing the glory of America has been raised? To assist their decision, we will select from the faithful page of history an abstract of facts, which impartial posterity will duly appreciate.
Was the glory of America established by the attempt of Mr. Jefferson to discharge a debt of gratitude and honor to his benefactor, Mr. Gabriel Jones, by a payment in depreciated paper, which did not amount, in real value, to one half of the interest only, that had accrued on the sum, which had been lent in specie to Mr. Jefferson, under circumstances of the most urgent necessity!
Was the glory of America established by the conduct of Mr. Jefferson towards the creditors of his father-in-law, Mr. Wayles, of whose property he became possessed; and whose debts, notwithstanding his solemn engagement to pay them, he permitted, after a lapse of twenty five years, to be brought before the American and British board of commissioners for settlement?
Was the glory of America established by a base abuse of that confidence, which implied all that could be dear to virtue and honor, in the most interesting relation between friends? We forbear to expatiate on this subject—but, if Mr. Jefferson or any authorised agent, shall dare the explanation, it shall be given.
Was the glory of America established by Mr. Jefferson's military conduct, at any period of the American war, and more especially, in the campaign of 1781, when, although acting as Governor of Virginia, his native state, at that time under invasion, he never was within the whiz of a musket ball; nor ever nearer to the enemy than the utmost random of cannon shot, unless a river was interposed between him and them?
Was the glory of America established by Mr. Jefferson's retreat to Carters' Mountain—when, having the whole force of Virginia under his command, he fled, ingloriously fled, from a single squadron of Dragoons?
Was the glory of America established by Mr. Jefferson's abdication of the government of Virginia, in a crisis of imminent danger—when every sentiment that love of country ought to have suggested, forbade retirement from the public service?
Was the glory of America established by Mr. Jefferson's letter to Mazie—a letter which vilified the whole American people, and infamously slandered THE FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY?
Was the glory of America established by Mr. Jefferson's attempt to prevent the adoption of the present constitution, or by his subsequent endeavours to defeat our provisions?
Was the glory of America established by Mr. Jefferson's deportment in the intrigues of the French minister Genet, who charged him with holding "a language official, and a language confidential?"
Was the glory of America established by the means, which Mr. Jefferson practised to attain his present station?
Was the glory of America established by the opinions which Mr. Jefferson expressed, the rewards which he gave, and the pardon which he extended to the convict Callender?
Was the glory of America established by Mr. Jefferson's inspection and entire approbation of "the Prospect before Us," previous to its publication?
Was the glory of America established in the sentiment expressed by Mr. Jefferson of that most detestable work, "that it would do much, and that the Taxgatherers would do the rest?" [See Mr. Jefferson's letter to Callender, the original of which is fortunately preserved.]
Was the glory of America established by the impious scoffing, in Mr. Jefferson's Notes on Virginia, where he says, "that his neighbour's believe in twenty Gods or in no God, will either pick his pocket nor break his leg?"
Was the glory of America established in his Notes on Virginia, of "the population of our great cities to fore on the human body?"
Was the glory of America established by Mr. Jefferson's declaration "we are all federalists, we are all republicans?" or by the contradiction which his intolerant and persecuting policy has given to all his hollow declarations on that subject?
Was the glory of America established by Mr. Jefferson's declaration "we had better abandon the ocean" than enter into controversy to maintain our rights upon it?
Was the glory of America established by Mr. Jefferson's affectation of delicacy towards the captains of the American navy, when he referred the claims of the brave and meritorious Commodore Truxton, to their consideration?—Or was the glory of America established by Mr. Jefferson's avowed contempt of the American army, when utterly regardless of the feelings of every officer in that army, Mr. Jefferson ventured to nominate a French agent, who had insisted troops in our country under a French commission, and with those troops had attacked the posts of a neutral nation, and who was, moreover, an utter stranger to the army, to the important trust of commanding half the regular infantry of the United States, over the heads of Field officers, and Captains, and Subalterns, who for twenty years had ably and honorably served their country?
(The opinion of the senate of the United States, on this most extraordinary nomination, was expressed in their indignant rejection of Mr. Jefferson's lieutenant colonel commandant and protégé.)
Was the glory of America established when Mr. Jefferson called to the head of the most important national department, a man who was a stranger to the American revolution, one who had threatened "to stop the wheels of government,"—who, as secretary to a band of insurgents, had proscribed any citizen, who should dare to execute a law of the United States—and who had been thus eminently instrumental in exciting insurrection, which had endangered the safety of the government, and the peace of the nation; and
had caused an expense of one million two hundred thousand dollars to the American people?
Was the glory of America established by the suppression of a branch of our commerce, on the mandate of a foreign minister.
Was the glory of America established by Mr. Jefferson permitting her navy to decay, and her harbours and commerce to remain defenceless and unprotected?
Was the glory of America established by the depending negotiation for the purchase of the Floridas?
On the Answers which impartial justice shall dictate to these interrogatories, (and they might be greatly extended) we shall rest the refutation of the unfounded and audacious sentiment, "that the glory of America was established by Thomas Jefferson."—We might go farther, and with truth assert, that if every man, who embarked in the American Revolution had observed a conduct similar to Mr. Jefferson's in the field, or to his resignation of office in the hour of difficulty and danger, the boasted freedom and independence of our country, must have been changed, INEVITABLY CHANGED, into the most abject slavery and degradation and the national Jubilee, the day on which he is thus bepraised, would have been converted into a day of the deepest humiliation.
Let the real American reflect on such a reverse—let him consider the actual degradation of his country—and he must approve the utmost severity of those strictures that go to rescue her fame from reproach; and to vindicate the claims of her immortal Washington, and his glorious compatriots in arms, and in council, against the frauds of cowardice, calumny, and imposture.
* Mr. Madison can inform us whether the following statement, which we have received of that transaction, is correct:
An agent of the X. Y. and Z. tribe calls upon Mr. Armstrong, the American minister at Paris—and, presenting to his view a scrap of paper, asks him if he knows the hand writing—the minister aided by his spectacles, for the emissary would not permit him to take the paper into his possession, pronounces it to be the hand writing of the minister. Talleyrand—a nod tells him his conjecture is correct; and he is desired to peruse its contents—the paper states the necessity of an immediate compromise of our differences with Spain, and mentions the terms on which it may be effected—Two millions of dollars as a proprietary offering to France, and five millions to purchase the Floridas, from Spain.
The minister is desired to communicate the intimation to his cabinet—he does so—and on such an intimation has the appropriation of two millions been made. And on such a basis, among others, is the claim to establish the glory of America founded!!

By an arrival at Philadelphia, London dates to June 11, have been received
VIENNA, MAY 21.
ACCORDING to private letters from Naples, Gaeta will be attempted by storm in a few days. This fortress rightly called the little Gibraltar, holds out, and is likely to hold out a considerable time. In consequence of the answer which the Prince of Hesse returned to the last summons, the French have established five new redoubts, three against the fortress, and two against the gun-boats, which have annoyed them considerably. The place has received very little injury from the French shells. For want of men, the garrison can make but few sorties, as its whole force does not consist of more than 800 troops of the line, about 400 levy en masse, and two companies of artillery. The latter have lately been reinforced by about 400 artillery-men, a proof that King Ferdinand wishes the place to be defended. The suburb, which has proved an obstacle to the Governor's activity, has been levelled with the ground. His marine, as it is called, in the harbour, consists of eight launches, a frigate, and twelve fishing vessels each of them carrying a four pounder, besides some other vessels, one of them a French privateer of 12 guns.
The Prince is upon the batteries the whole day, and sleeps there the greatest part of the night. These batteries, elevated upon heaps of stones, are so very high, that it will be very difficult to enter them with scaling-ladders. Of the batteries, there are three lines besides a fortification called a Siga. Other batteries cover the flanks of the place; and, exclusive of these out-works, the whole of the ground is mined; so that the entrance of the place, even by storm, must be attended with very great loss. As to starving it, that will be extremely improbable, as the present stock of provisions is respectable, and can always be increased as long as the sea remains open; besides the Prince can effect his retreat by the same channel whenever he may find it convenient.
After the example of Gaeta, another little fortress in Abruzzo, viz. Civitella del Tronto, continues to defend itself. It is situated upon the summit of a rock, and is defended by about fifty men, under an Irish Major, who was formerly in the service of the King of the Two Sicilies.

PARIS, MAY 26.
To his Excellency the Minister of Marine
"Majestueux, in the Road of the Isle d'Aix. Sir—One of the enemy's frigates approached very near this island yesterday morning while the squadron to which it belonged was moored at the entrance of the Gut. I suffered this frigate to approach the point where I judged it proper that one of his majesty's frigates should wait its arrival, and I ordered the Minerva, capt. Collet, and the Arifos, of the advanced guard, to get under weigh. The wind blew very fresh from the S. to the S. W. About 11 o'clock the enemy fired several shot at the Minerva, and the engagement commenced at half cannon shot. As the enemy began to retire to the N. N. E. from the Isle d'Aix, captain Collet resolved upon boarding, and he executed this manoeuvre by bearing up with the greatest intrepidity; but both vessels went at such a rate, that though the starboard anchor was caught in the enemy's main shrouds, it carried them away, and the two vessels separated.
"The English frigate, very much damaged, and having lost its fore-top-mast, bore away without returning the fire of the Minerva any longer. I then made the signal for two frigates to get under weigh and pursue her. The anchor of the Minerva went to the bottom just upon the shock of boarding, when both the vessels separated; this accident, which we could not foresee, saved the English frigate, which continued to make off while the Minerva, having her head to the wind, was hindered from bearing up by the delay occasioned by the cutting of her cable.
"The enemy's frigate then took
the flying vessel in tow; and as the English squadron were getting ready to come to their assistance, I ordered the frigates to return to their moorings.
"The Minerva had seven men killed and 14 wounded; she also received a shot in her fore-yard, and had a few other damages. The enemy's damages were considerable, and the have certainly lost a number of men.
"Capt. Collet has supported his brilliant reputation in this circumstance. This brave captain bestows the highest encomiums upon his Lieutenant, Samson, his officers, and the whole of the crew, some of whom at the moment of boarding, wrenched the pikes out of the hands of the English, and used them against the enemy.
Accept, Sir, &c. "ALLEMAND."

Mr. Secretary Fox, in the course of his speech on Saturday morning, took an opportunity of throwing out his ideas respecting that kind of peace which he was anxious to obtain. He expressly stated, that "he wished for such a peace as could be made on tolerable terms;—but then the character of the peace he wished for, was, that it should preserve our continent of Europe, and not give up any thing which the point of honor forbade us to give up." These spirited sentiments were cheered from all sides of the House.
A few days ago the boats of the Quebec frigate boarded and captured three vessels in the port of Norden, belonging to Prussia, about eleven miles north of Embden. The frigate afterwards silenced a fort, drove the men from the batteries, landed some of her crew, and brought away three of the guns from the fort, with her three prizes, which have since arrived at Yarmouth. We are happy to add that this service was achieved without a single individual belonging to the Quebec, being killed or even wounded.

SLAVE TRADE.
In the British House of Commons on the 2d June, Mr Fox gave notice, that in a few days he should bring forward a resolution, which would have the effect of showing that his Majesty's Ministers were not unmindful of the pledges they had given, respecting the final abolition of the Slave Trade. He conceived it would be too late in the present session to propose any bill upon the subject; but as it was one of those important subjects upon which his Majesty's present Ministers had pledged their opinions to the house, he thought it high time to evince their determination of carrying those opinions into effect.

NEW-YORK, JULY 15.
IMPORTANT TRIAL.
United States, vs. William Smith.
A special Circuit Court of the U. S. was opened yesterday—Patterson and Talmadge, Judges. The trial of William S. Smith, for a misdemeanor,
was moved. Sixty witnesses for the prosecution were called; & generally appeared.—On the part of the defendant, the following witnesses were called, viz. Messrs. James Madison, (Secretary of State) A. Gallatin, G. Granger, Robert Smith, J. Wagner, W. Thornton, W. Duncanson, E. Stevens, S. R. Bradley (Senator of the U. S.) S. L. Mitchell, C. Clinton, G. Clinton, jun. S. Osgood, jun. S. Osgood, &c. &c.
Mr. Colden, Counsel for defendant, moved for attachment against Messrs. Madison, R. Smith, Wagner, and Thornton, for a contempt of court, on an affidavit of supana, and tender of money defraying the expence of travel. This gave rise to desultory discussion; during which Judge Patterson read a letter (signed by the abovenamed gentlemen) stating that the President of the United States had communicated to them his decided opinion that the situation of public affairs would not admit of their absence from the seat of government!—[This is very extraordinary!—At a time when Congress is not in session; and when too, it is recollected how often these Secretaries, during the summer season, have been scattered for months in every part of the union; and when there can be very little other business, than giving their official signatures to papers—which can as well be done by their First Clerks now, as last summer—for such a prevaricating excuse to be made to prevent men from making a journey of ten or twelve days to give evidence in a Court of Justice, shews indeed, that "something is rotten in the state"]
The Court took the motion into consideration; and required to hear the nature and extent of the testimony expected before they granted a compulsory process.—And that the motion could not be decided upon, until they had decided upon a prior question offered by the District Attorney. The Counsel consented; and the court adjourned.
July 16.—Yesterday, Mr. Colden, Counsel for the defendant, offered the affidavit of Col. Smith, that Messrs. Madison, &c. were material witnesses. He and Mr. Hoffman proceeded to prove the right to the attachment.
Mr. Sandford, District Attorney, replied and urged that the process by attachment was neither conformable to the practice of the Courts of the United States, nor allowable in this case, as the witnesses were not guilty of a contempt by their non-appearance.
Mr. Piepoint Edwards supported Mr. Sandford, on all the grounds he had taken, by several law authorities.
It was apparent that Judge Patterson was in his weak state of health, greatly exhausted, and the Court, at half past two o'clock adjourned until ten o'clock this morning.
NEW-YORK, JULY 18.
The Circuit Court met yesterday, (being the fourth day of meeting) — When Judge Patterson delivered the opinion of the Court on the questions raised by the council for the Defendant,
On the first the Court agreed that the trial must come on at this sitting.
On the second they disagreed. One being of opinion a rule might be granted to shew cause why an attachment should not issue—the other, that neither an attachment nor rule to shew cause could be granted.
Judge Patterson, being much indisposed, retired after delivering the opinion of the Court.
An affidavit on the part of W. S. Smith was offered, stating the absence of the captain and supercargo of the Leander, who are material witnesses in this case, and who will be here sometime in September.
Upon this affidavit a motion was made to postpone the trial until the next regular term of the court.
This was refused by Judge Talmadge. And the trial was ordered on.
It will, therefore commence this morning at 10 o'clock.
July 19.—The Circuit Court met yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, pursuant to adjournment—present Judge Talmadge.
The Court proceeded to hear the cause of the United States against William S. Smith. The following gentlemen, composing the Jury on
this trial, were called and sworn, to wit:—John Sullivan, John Rathbone, jr. Lewis C. Hammerley, Cortland Babcock, John P. Haff, Gold Hoyt, John A. Fort, James Masterton, Sebuylor Livingston, Henry Panton, George Farman, and Augustus Wynkoop.—The Attorney General concisely stated the cause to the jury and then proceeded to the examination of the witnesses in behalf of the prosecution.—Messrs. Samuel G. Ogden, Dr. Romaine, David Gellion, (Collector of the port) John M'Lean, General Stevens Richard Belden, Jonathan Ogden, and John Jacob Astor, were severally sworn and examined. In the course of the examination several questions were asked which gave rise to considerable conversation among the counsel. From the progress of the business, we are induced to believe that several days will be consumed in the examination of the witnesses.
PORTLAND:
MONDAY, JULY 28, 1806.
From the West-Indies.
ENGLISH AND FRENCH FLEETS.
Capt. Blanchard arrived at this port on Friday last, in 16 days from St. Bartholomews, informs that six sail of French men of war, one of 84, one of 80 and four of 74 guns, passed St. Bartholomews, having three prizes in company, which they had taken from Montserrat, in going into St. Martins, one of the prizes, laden with Sugar, struck upon the bar and bilged, in the evening three pilots were taken on board to carry them to Tortola, as the French had been informed there was a fleet of English Merchantmen at that place, it was said they cannonaded Brimstone Hill one hour; July 6, at 6 o'clock P. M. was seen from St. Bartholomews five large ships and three frigates running down before the wind, supposed to be a British Squadron commanded by Admiral Cochrane, in pursuit of the French. July 7, three ships of war, one of 74 guns and two frigates passed St. Martins, supposed to be English & following Ad. Cochrane.
Further from the West-Indies.
Capt. Patterson arrived at Philadelphia; on the 7th of July, near St. Thomas, was boarded from a French 74, in company with five other sail of the line and a frigate. In sight were four English ships of the line and three frigates, one of the English ships had lost her bowsprit and main yard. When capt. P. lost sight of the fleet's they were about two miles apart, the wind blowing a gale, which prevented their coming to an engagement till it abated.
Jerome Bonaparte commands one of the French ships, it is not improbable but that he may visit Old England, where his rejected wife has been hospitably entertained.
Our accounts from Europe are to the 11th of June. No events of much importance has transpired of late upon the Continent. Several communications by flags of truce between the British Ministry and the French government have passed and repassed but their contents are kept secret. Mr. Fox has declared in favour of peace provided it can be obtained upon honourable terms and not prejudicial to their connections with the powers upon the continent.
No accommodation has been effected between England and Prussia; the british cruisers are daily sending in Prussian vessels.
The intelligence of capt. Whitby's late outrageous conduct off New-York, had reached London, and was severely censured.—What is a little singular in this business is, while the democrats are constantly harping about the federalists being the friends and advocates of the English, in England, the federalists are considered as being more violent against the English than the democrats.
On the 8th of June an unfortunate affray took place in London. The dispute originated between an American Seaman and Irishman, respecting a woman of the town. A battle ensued, the Irishman having got the worst of it, went away, and in a short time returned with a large reinforcement, who, with violent implications, dared the Yankees, as they termed them, to the fight. The Americans collected in a body to protect themselves, and obtained some weapons from on board their ships. This was considered by the Sons of St. Patrick for a challenge to a trial of the Shellba, and instantly made a furious attack upon the Americans, who in the end were defeated, with broken heads, legs, &c. One had his scull fractured and is without hopes of recovery—an
American captain is among those most hurt. The Police Officers upon receiving a knowledge of the affair, apprehended about 40 of those most active, and on the following day they underwent an examination; 17 were committed for trial, and 8 sent on board a tender. It was clearly proved that the Irishmen were the aggressors, and the Americans were assured of receiving ample justice—the Magistrates being fully of the opinion that the Americans had conducted themselves in this unpleasant affair with prudence and discretion.

The auspicious commencement of our Independence and liberty, was celebrated at Hebron, by a number of citizens of that town and its vicinity. The morning was hailed by the discharge of guns.
At one o'clock, a procession was formed at the house of Dea. William Barrows, and was escorted by a company of Infantry in complete uniform, commanded by Lieut. N. Dudley, to the Academy. The Rev. Mr. Tripp addressed the Throne of grace in a solemn and appropriate manner; after which a correct and pertinent Oration was pronounced by Mr. James Merrill; a number of pieces of music, selected for the occasion, were performed; the procession then returned to a spacious Arbour and partook of an Entertainment, after which a number of patriotic toasts were drank, and the day was spent in a manner that will ever do honor to freemen.
A democratic scribbler in the last Argus, insinuates that Judge Parker entertains a different opinion now, to what he formerly did, as to the expediency of a separation of Maine from Massachusetts. If this faultfinding querist had questioned the opinion of Judge Parker only as it respects the subject generally, it would have been unworthy of notice; but the cloven foot of democracy shows itself in the following queries: "Why does he (Judge P.) toast a continuance of Maine with Massachusetts? Is it because by a separation he might be deranged?" Here we see the real object of these dear lovers of the people, who are continually harping about federal tyranny and oppression, and proclaiming their regard for the public weal. The first object of these exclusive patriots is, in case of a separation to make sure of the loaves and fishes, to "derange" all the Judges, and fill the Courts of Justice with their own creatures. Then who will be "the man so capable" of taking the seat of Judge Parker? a man that all honest democrats allow to be eminently qualified by his legal knowledge, his integrity and benevolence of disposition, for the office of he now holds; why to be sure the would-be Representative, whose humanity and experience in the practice of pettifogging and chicane, will insure him an elevation to the first seat upon the bench under the reign of democracy.
The toast alluded to, was given at the late celebration of American Independence in this town, and was published in the GAZETTE, of the 7th inst.
The strictures, upon the democratic toast declaring Mr. Jefferson to be the man who established the glory of America, published in the first page, are worthy an attentive perusal. The worshippers of Mr. Jefferson have often attempted to represent him as superior to the immortal Washington; and if servile flattery and fulsome panegyric would have effected it, their object would have long since been obtained.
Died.
In Brunswick, Mr. Benjamin Kilgore, aged 23 years.
In this town, STEPHEN, son of Mr. Stephen Foster, aged 23 months.
"Just like a film rising to the light, An apt fair, and promising he bore; Lively he was—his presence gave delight— But now, alas! he's silent—and no more!"

WILLIAM KING. TAKES PROFILE-LIKENESS. Es, at the house next to Convent H in Hanover-street, Boston. (11) June 28.
To the Hon. Justices of the Court of Sessions, at their Court holden in Portland, in and for the county of Cumberland, on the third Tuesday of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and six. HUMBLY sheweth—your petitioners, the inhabitants of the town of Pejepscot, in said county, by the subscribers, their selectmen, pursuant to a vote of said town, at a legal meeting, Nov. 7, Anno Domini 1805—That in consequence of a road laid out by order of the Court of Sessions, in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine, from col. Moses Merrill's, in New Gloucester, to Heldreth's ferry, and to the town of Turner; which road crossed the then plantation of Pejepscot claim, now town of Pejepscot, and the river Androscoggin in said town, called the Little river Androscoggin—whereby your petitioners are subjected to the necessity of bridging said river at an expense, greatly beyond their ability; or paying costs incurred by the town's being prevented for not building the bridge by law required, which has a ready been done. Your petitioners further shew, that the river is continually so much incumbered with mill-logs and other drift timber, and so subject to freshets as to endanger the safety of a bridge of the best construction; and that a bridge built at the expense of your petitioners could not be done by them without greatly embarrassing them, and being in great danger of freshets, it could not be completed by them in the term of one year, without devoting as much labor and expense as would subject them to the necessity of leaving the roads in the town neglected, as well as their necessary labor and support of their families: that the town of Pejepscot is by far the smallest town in the county, and has been settled in such a manner that at the period of their incorporation, they were subjected to a very great expense for town ways: that litigations respecting the title of their lands has greatly impeded the progress of improvement among individuals: that there is not one inhabitant of the town that owns any land on the side of the river Androscoggin, that will render a bridge necessary, whereby they must be at an expense totally for the benefit of others, without the least advantage to themselves: that the river is safely fordable great part of the year: that a ferry is established round its mouth, & in the winter the travelling is a great part of the time safe on ice, so that a bridge is needless only at a time when the roads are seldom used for hauling heavy articles or even travelling: that the land on the north side of the river in Pejepscot, is not of that kind, called settlement lands , being chiefly pitch-pine land, or very broken—Your petitioners therefore pray, that so much of the country road, leading from Heldreth's ferry, (so called) to Turner, may be discontinued as crosses the Little river Androscoggin, and that the same may be so altered as to lead to a convenient landing for boats: Or, if you in your wisdom, see fit not to discontinue the said road, that your petitioners may have assistance from this county, to enable them to erect a bridge, or otherwise be relieved: And your petitioners as in duty bound, will ever pray. AND. R. GIDDINGS , Selectmen of JOE LANE , Pejepscot.
At a Court of General Sessions of the Peace for the county of Cumberland, begun and holden at Portland, in said county, on the third Tuesday of March A. D. 1806. ON the petition of the inhabitants of the town of Pejepscot, in said county, whereof the foregoing is a copy, the Court order, that the petitioners cause the same, with this order thereon to be published in the Portland Gazette , thirty days, at least, before the next term of this Court, which is to be holden at Portland, within and for the county aforesaid, on the first Tuesday of September next, that any person may have opportunity then and the day to appear, and shew cause why the prayer thereof should not be granted. Attest, SAMUEL FREEMAN , Clerk. July 21.

EPITAPH.
Died at Birmingham, Mr. R. Sleath, who kept the turnpike gate at Worcester, when his master paid a visit to Bishop Hurd, and would not suffer the retinue to pass without paying. He was afterwards called "the man who stopped the king." The following impromptu has been occasioned by his death:—
ON Wednesday last, old Robert Sleath Passed through the turnpike gate of death; To him would death no toll abate, Who stop'd the king at Worcester gate.

STRIPLING—No. IV.
Excentricus qui est, non qui contingere possit, Et dicitur morum, aut veniens pueri confus.
That none may int'pose, to cause delay, Or fondly curious ask them of their way.
IF we take a survey of United America, the idea immediately strikes us, that an inquisitive desire to be acquainted with those things, which are aside from their particular concern or management, constitutes a part of the national character of its citizens. They are distinguished by that little chitchat concerning newcomers, and the affairs of their neighbors, which Knox and other writers have so successfully ridiculed.
A person can take up his residence in but very few of our country towns without experiencing the truth of this observation. His merits or demerits are in the mouth of every inhabitant, the theme of every conversation in the village. If he chance to be of note, the question is immediately in agitation, whether he be what he seems; can support the character, which he assumes; or whether he has taken it up for the purpose of shielding him from the effects of public resentment for some crime, he has committed, or of preserving himself from the ignominy which is likely to fall on him by some affair, in which Venus was concerned. Should he be of the lower ranks of society, enquiries are assiduously made to ascertain the truth of his being a gentleman in disguise, a second Sir William Thornhill, who has retired into the country to obtain a partner for life who could love him for himself alone. An opinion of this kind has, often times gained credence sufficient to cause many matrons, who had the character of being sagacious in such matters, to instruct their daughters, Misses, who were qualified for entering in negotium generandi , how their deportment should be, that they might be able to take captive her heart of the stranger.
Notwithstanding the contempt, which may be cast upon a people, to which this custom, this desiderium nocendi , if it may be so termed is habitual, I am fully persuaded it is not disadvantageous, seeing that it is the life and support of a republican government. To prove the latter assertion many arguments need not be adduced. The experience of all ages testifies the truth of the position. Do we bring to our view those nations, that are now existing, we find that this curiosity is prevalent where liberty is predominant; unheard of in a manner, where tyranny is exercised. Do we turn over the pages of ancient history, we perceive, that this has been the case in every preceding age. The inhabitants of Turkey are remarkable for their not being solicitous concerning the circumstances of others; those of the United States for a contrary disposition. Turkey for the complete subjection in which she is held by the iron rod of despotism; the United States for that constitution, which secures equal rights to every grade of her citizens, and which is the admiration of mankind. Greece was celebrated for her inquisitiveness and loquacity; Persia for her reserve. Greece for her high notions of liberty; Persia for the abject slavery.
So long as the spirit of watchfulness is exercised by all ranks and classes of a republic, their liberty may be considered to stand upon solid foundations. Should it sleep, should the farmer instead of scrutinizing the actions and characters of his rulers, suffer his attention to extend no further than the limits of his farm, and the merchant wholly employ his time in hoarding up heaps of that metal, which is extracted from the mines of Potosi, what would be the consequence?
Designing monarchists, in the form of demagogues, would shortly consign them ever to the shackles of tyranny, and they would be left to repent, at leisure their fatal supineness. T.
