PROSPECTUS.
THE WEEKLY INSPECTOR.
"Of those men who have overturned the Liberties of Republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the People—Commenting DEMAGOGUES, and ending TYRANTS."
HAMILTON.
"At a time when periodical publications are multiplied beyond all precedent, some apology may be deemed necessary for introducing to the world another paper. Instead, however, of any thing ceremonious of that nature, we merely present to our readers a short sketch of the plan we propose to adopt, which will show that our claims to public patronage will not clash with those of the papers now established."
"We propose to render the WEEKLY INSPECTOR a vehicle of intelligence, which shall be principally devoted to the political interests of our country. We wish to make it particularly useful to those of our fellow citizens, who find it inconvenient or impossible to trace the threads of political events through the labyrinths of official documents, common report, voluminous public journals, and expensive daily newspapers, which are of necessity in a great measure devoted to advertisements."
"The utility of such a work is almost too obvious to require a comment. We will, however, briefly advert to a few of its advantages."
"Political knowledge—a knowledge of public men and measures, is essential to the preservation of political rights. In the United States, almost all the inhabitants are not only entitled, but as voters at elections, are under a moral obligation, to exert an immediate agency in the affairs of the government; and unless they are in possession of correct political information, they cannot conscientiously discharge this important duty."
"Without a wish to flatter the American people, we would express our belief, that, when rightly informed, they will not deviate from the path of political rectitude. They cannot but perceive that private distress must be the ultimate consequence of the bad management of public affairs. Honest, I would almost say laudable, prejudices may for a time obscure the views of the people. Inspired with a praiseworthy zeal for liberty, they may repose confidence in those who profess to be its votaries, for purposes of deception and personal aggrandizement. But the steady light of truth will dispel the cloud—the demagogue will be disclosed—will be detected—and at length blasted by the breath of public censure."
"Demagogues are sensible that their 'bad eminence' must be founded on falsehood, and therefore set themselves systematically to deceive the people. Newspapers, which ought to be lights to the public mind, in their hands, are like the midnight meteor; emit a feeble and treacherous glare, which serve, only to bewilder and betray. Thus a brave and spirited nation, like the honest, and once independent, natives of Switzerland, may become hostile to their own interests, enemies to their best friends, banish from public life or destroy their true patriots, while perfidious demagogues triumph, and riot in their spoils."
"That the United States may escape such a catastrophe, is the ardent wish of all who are not enemies to rational freedom and to mankind. We will at least raise our monitorial voice against those men and measures, which threaten so fatal a termination to the toils of our revolutionary heroes; and the mental exertions of our political sages."
"In making a profession of our political tenets we would observe that we are FEDERALISTS, and wish to be instrumental in healing the wounds of party. We would call on our countrymen to unite their efforts to give respectability and energy to our national character, and that security which consists in a union of public sentiment."
"As respects our conduct towards the editors of newspapers, we shall merely observe, that falsehood and sophistry will be the objects of our animadversion. We believe, with Mirabeau, that 'words are things.' If false, they give a wrong direction to the public mind and of consequence to the physical powers of the community."
"Next after our political concerns, a condensed abstract of foreign and domestic intelligence and miscellaneous sketches of a literary and scientific nature will be presented to our readers. Poetry, if well written and correct in its tendency, will be admitted, and brief notice of good books will not be refused."
"The price of the Weekly Inspector will be three dollars per annum, payable half yearly in advance. It will be printed on a half sheet, large, 8 vo. & published every Saturday. THOS. GREEN FESSENDEN."
The following are the concluding remarks in a pamphlet lately published in South-Carolina, the production of WILLIAM SMITH, Esq. one of the most distinguished and enlightened citizens of that State:—After examining Mr. Jefferson's character and pretensions to the first office in the United States—he observes—
"We shall now take leave of Mr. Jefferson, and his pretensions as a philosopher and a politician. The candid and unprejudiced, who have read with attention the foregoing comments on his philosophical and political works, and on his public conduct, must now be convinced, however they may hitherto have been deceived by a plausible appearance and specious talents, or misled by artful partizans, that the reputation he has acquired is not bottomed on solid merit—that his abilities have been more directed to the acquirement of literary fame, than to the substantial good of his country—that his philosophical o-
pinions have been capricious and wavering, often warped by the most frivolous circumstances—that in his political conduct he has been timid, inconsistent and unsteady, generally favouring measures of a factious and disorganizing tendency, always leaning to those which would establish his popularity, however destructive of our peace and tranquility—that his political principals are sometimes whimsical and visionary; at others, subversive of all regular and stable government—that his writings have betrayed a disrespect for religion, and his partiality for the impious Paine, an enemy to Christianity—that his advice respecting the Dutch company, and his open countenance of an incendiary printer, and the views of a factious, manifest a want of due regard for national faith and public credit—that his abhorrence of one foreign nation, and enthusiastic devotion to another, have extinguished in him every germ of real national character; and, in short, that his elevation to the Presidency, must eventuate either in the dethronement of the American name, by a whimsical, inconsistent, and feeble administration, or in the prostration of the United States at the feet of France, the subversion of our excellent Constitution, and the consequent despotism of our present prosperity."
Medical.
In a weekly paper it is very inconvenient to admit lengthy communications; and those on speculative subjects have hitherto been wholly excluded; but a disposition to offer information on a subject which all are interested in, has induced us to give publicity to the following observations. The objects of the writer are to promote the "art of healing," and lessen an evil which the public has long felt and lamented—that of quackery in the practice of Physic.—EDITOR.
FOR THE PORTLAND GAZETTE.
MR. ADAMS.
THE following observations, the substance of which has been published in the Medical Repository, and republished in the London Reviews, as well as in Germany, are now submitted to the perusal of those of your readers, to whom these volumes are not accessible; in the hope that they will be received with as much candor, as they have been, in distant states and nations.
My principal design in this attempt is to discharge a duty incumbent on me, to aid the efforts of the Massachusetts Medical Society, in eradicating medical prejudices, and in disseminating useful knowledge; in engaging the mind to greater solicitude for the enjoyment of life and health; in exposing & suppressing empirical impostures, which rapidly increase; and finally, in rendering the science of medicine more respectable and important in the view of mankind.
By an attentive perusal of the medical works of the ancients; as well as those of latter writers, it appears that, from the earliest records of medicine to the latter part of the 18th century, "a vitiated quality or a redundant quantity of bile" has been considered as an essential cause of fevers.
But, happily for mankind, the accurate investigations of modern physiologists and chemists, have caused these vague notions to pass away; in like manner, as the inductive reasonings of learned and enlightened Divines, have dispelled the whimsies, which formerly possessed the imagination of benighted enthusiasts, relative to spectres, witches and goblins.
Still these notions, groundless and untenable as they are, frequently occur to the eye, in some antiquated books, and to the ear, in the conversation of those who pay little or no attention to the improved state of science, that some, even in this enlightened age, assert to them as established truths!
So strong is this association of ideas, between bile and fevers, putrefaction and alkalescency, that a long time will probably elapse, before prejudices so deeply rooted, and so widely spread, can be entirely eradicated.
It is, however, well known to physicians, versed in modern scientific improvements, that when febrile poison ravages the stomach, the BILE, if the liver is able to perform its office, readily flows in, to exert its benign influence, in correcting and subduing this noxious cause.
But as the friendly bile openly appears, while the venomous enemy lies concealed, the friend has unhappily been taken for the foe, and loaded with invectives accordingly!!
What grateful acknowledgments, then, are due to the benevolent author of our existence, for the admirable constitution of our bodies, by which that important organ, the LIVER, is furnished with a natural alkaline antidote, capable, in ordinary circumstances, of counteracting the destructive tendency of noxious acids!
Wonderful indeed is it, that, when septic poison is formed, and commences its ravages in the stomach, the bilious fluid should quit its accustomed intestinal route, and repair to the invaded Citadel, in order to exert its al-
*The bile has been found, by chemical analysis, to contain an alkaline salt and an oil; it is it called "a natural animal soap."
kaline power, in quelling and neutralizing this venomous enemy; lest it should disorganize the stomach, or proceed into the intestines, to their annoyance, and poison the whole body.
To co-operate, therefore, with this health restoring bile, in extraordinary circumstances, and to reinforce its alkaline power, seems to be our indispensable duty.
If then these misleading terms, "bilious fever," "bilious colic," "cholera morbus," &c. should be expunged, and terms more expressive of the nature and seat of these diseases substituted, great good would redound to mankind. Much light also, might be thrown upon the minds of such practitioners as are not furnished with modern authors, who, by their laboured researches, have been enabled to detect the fallacy of these chosen terms.
With a view to enlighten the minds of my patients, in these diseases, I have, of late years, described their cases as being a poisoned state of the body. Antidotes, therefore, have been earnestly sought for, and taken with avidity.
In the autumn of 1798, and in the three succeeding months, fifty-five persons sickened with a malignant epidemic fever, in Stroudwater village. A particular description of which is contained in the third volume of the Medical Repository. I attended fifty one of these patients; fifty recovered.
Dr. Mann, a fellow of the M. M. Society, has lately written a prize dissertation on the causes, the nature and cure of the autumnal diseases of infants, termed cholera morbus; in which he has rejected these terms as being ill judged, and shown that the morbid affection of the alimentary canal, which usually invades children, tho' sometimes adults, in the fall months, all depend upon noxious acids in the stomach, however diversified with respect to their form or symptoms.
In the treatment of this disease called cholera morbus, he has given alkaline salts, and alkaline earths an impartial trial; and found that, after suitable evacuations, they have been attended with happy effects. He also employed calomel with a view of enabling the liver to perform its office—Out of a hundred patients he lost but one.
He disallows astringent and heating remedies; as well as spirituous stimulants, before the noxious cause is subdued, and the morbid disturbance subsides; even then to be used with the greatest caution.
For this learned and judicious dissertation Dr. Mann was honored with a gold medal, from a committee appointed by the President and Fellows of Harvard College, in Cambridge, to propound prize questions, and to examine dissertations.
This committee consisted of Drs. Holyoke, Lloyd, Tufts, Danforth, sen. Rand, sen. Fisher, Warren, sen. Waterhouse and Dexter.
Notwithstanding the labors of these scientific physicians to dissolve false associations of ideas, whereby Medical and Chemical knowledge has been remarkably perverted and reared; and to combine facts according to their natural and just relations, which constitute perfection in the intellectual faculties of man, the New-England States are unhappily molested with empirics, who neither read nor reason!
Worms, bile and weakknees, are supposed by them, to be the essential causes of fever; of course pink root, bilious pills, and spirits, make up the chief of their prescriptions.
In the course of my tours among the sick, I frequently find patients laboring under inflammatory fevers, accompanied, as it were, in grog-shops!—Bottles of wine, brandy, and clove-water, are placed in battle array, with which the burning patient is copiously plyed, while begging for a little water to cool the tongue!!
What has been the consequence of this mode of treatment?—A sudden and fatal termination of the disease, where medical aid was not seasonably interpolated, or a long and tedious convalescence.
When a patient becomes nearly destroyed by this unprecedented mode of practice; and, in process of time, happens to recover, then the empiric boasts of having made a great cure.
In August I was called to a young man laboring under a malignant fever, "bilious," as it was termed, on the fourth day of the disease. He complained of great oppression of the stomach, universal heat, and intense thirst: pulse full and quick; the mind greatly agitated. On the 2d day, an emetic had been given, which operated once. After this, clove water, brandy, and wine were the only means administered, till my arrival!—I gave an "alkaline emetic, which repeatedly ejected bottle-green matter, and dejected black and very foetid stools.
Lime-water and Soda were then liberally given, which, common experience has taught us, purify all filthy fecculencies, and resist putrefaction—Spiritous liquors were laid aside, and water, an article despised by empirics in fevers, was substituted. His fever, subsided in a few days, and he recovered, though I found it necessary to give three emetics, and four mercurial cathartics, to remove the accumulated load of putrefacent matters; and to produce a copious flow of bile from the LIVER to the great pancreas of Solly, and faithful soap maker, for the purposes of the animal system.  Soon after I was called to a man in the interior of the country, on the 7th day of "bilious fever," who was under the hands of a Quack said to be skilled in Indian remedies for fever. No evacuant had been given because of fever, he was weak. But he was supplied with a glass of rum, once in two hours, in a tea cup, composed of snake-root and six other articles equally pungent, to keep up his strength!  When I entered the room, which was small and unventilated, the almost exanth. A patient uttered the following words, with a quaking voice, and in faltering accents, pray give me some water, for I am burnt up alive. Nothing is allowed me but rum and tea!! He expired in less than an hour.—Better it had been for this man to have fallen under the hands of Quack.  [To be continued.]

PARIS, JULY 17.
M. de Zedemroff, Privy Counsellor of the Cabinet of Russia, passed through Nancy, on the 15th inst. as a courier, on his way to St. Petersburg.
GENOA, JULY 9
The intelligence direct from Sicily would make it appear, that the English no longer think of defending that island against the French; and that a part of their artillery, and all their camp equipage, were already embarked.
They write from Capua, under date of June 30, that the 32d Regiment of Light Infantry passing thro' that place had received orders to halt till the surrender of Gaeta, as they were assured that the attack would be made in five or six days.
LONDON, JULY 24.
"The French are preparing, it is said, to send an army of 60,000 men, in three divisions, through Asiatic Turkey, to attack the British possessions in the East-Indies."

BALTIMORE, SEPT. 6.
Loss of the Schooner Comfort.
Circumstantial account of the loss of the Schooner Comfort , (Charleston packet) captain Charles Drummond, from Baltimore, received from a passenger taken off the wreck in lat. 33, 15, long. 76, 30, W. by the brig Experiment , John Bockins, master, arrived at the Lazaretto.
On Tuesday morning, August 19th the Comfort left Hampton Roads, with passengers, for Charleston. On Friday came on a violent gale from the N.E. the Schooner lying to, head to the southward and eastward. At 4 P. M. the upset; at the same moment, most of the male passengers having run upon deck, were washed overboard, whilst others, and the crew were securing themselves to windward. About 5 P. M. the main mast broke short off, and at 6 the fore mast was carried away, when she righted, but full of water, the sea making a continual breach over her, the gale still violent. During the night, the greater part of the crew and passengers were either washed overboard, or drowned lashed to different parts of the vessel; and on Saturday morning, the few survivors had the gloomy retrospect of but 6 remaining out of 25 souls, the original number on board. During the whole of Saturday and Sunday, we continued lashed to the windlass, bearing all the fatigues of hunger and thirst, and most frequently overwhelmed with the break of the sea; and at about 5 o'clock, one of the few remaining, (a black man, one of the crew) exhausted and faint with thirst, was washed overboard, and on Monday morning we were cheered with the prospect of descending a vessel to windward, bearing down, which proved to be the Experiment , capt. John Bockins, to whose humanity and attention we feel an incumbent duty to express the obligation we lay under, for his unremitted attention to whatever could, in any measure, ameliorate the misery of our situation.
List of passengers and crew drowned. Captain Charles Drummond. Mr. James Price, under captain D's charge, a son of Mr. Price, ship builder, at Baltimore—and 8 blacks, composing the crew.
Passengers.
Mr. Archibald Leslie, a resident of Demerara, having been some months past in Baltimore. Mr. Mercier, a Catholic priest, from Charleston. Mr. Donally, a pedlar, from Baltimore. Mr. Goofy, from Hampton, Virginia. Mrs. Cooper, wife of captain Cooper, lately resident at Hampton, removing to Augustine. Miss Mary Cooper, sister to capt. Cooper, and Miss Susannah, daughter of Mrs. Cooper. Three servant maids, and three black children, and a boy, servant to Mr. Goofy.
SAVED,
Lieut. Bernard Henry, of the U. States navy.

BOSTON, AUG. 11.
MIRANDA'S SUCCESS.
A Kingston (Jamaica) paper of Aug. 12, advises, "that Gen Miranda, after all the difficulties he had met with, had, at last effected a landing on the Maine, and taken Coro .—This place is situated at the bottom of the gulph of Venezuela, 60 miles W. of Laguira."
In another account, of this affair it is stated, that after the capture of Coro , Miranda, immediately proceeded up the country, and was daily joined by Spaniards;—that he had been engaged in several skirmishes with the government troops, in all of which he had been successful. It is added, that a British frigate had joined his squadron; and that other succours were expected.
FROM RIVER PLATE.
Captain Collina, of the ship Arctic , arrived at Charleston, in 68 days from the river Plate, informs, that a few hours after sailing, he fell in with a British squadron of 8 ships of war, and was boarded by the Diadem , capt. King. The squadron was under the command of Sir Home Popham from the Cape of Good Hope, and was destined to act against Montevideo.
SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.
An arrival at Norfolk from Algeziras, (July 23) brings information of a report that the Spaniards were immediately to enter Portugal and that thirteen regiments were in readiness at Algeziras to march for that object at a moments notice.
FRENCH SQUADRON.
It is now ascertained, that the French squadron, under the command of Jerome Bonaparte, experienced very great damage in the storm of the 22d ult. It is also probable, that a part of it, from the disabled state in which it was found, after the gale, will be unable to reach any friendly port. Three only of the fleet are known to have reached harbour, viz. the Cybel , which anchored off Norfolk, on the 31st ult. — Le Patriot , which entered the Chesapeake 2d inst. and La Valereuse , which has passed up the Delaware. These ships were very much crippled. Le Frudroyant was seen on the 23d Aug. lat. 26, 14, long. 66, 39, totally dismasted, and without a rudder. The squadron as reinforced by three ships, a few days previous to the gale, consisted of.
  Le Frudroyant 80 L'Ecle 74   Le Veteran 74 Le Regulus 74   Le Cassan 74 Le Valeureux 44   L'Impetueux 74 Le President 44   Le Patriot 74 Le Sybèle 40 
"FRENCH URBANITY."
Capt. Tripp, from Grenada, arrived on Tuesday, informs, that on the 21st August, in lat. 26, 15, long. 66, 39, seeing a ship dismasted, with sails up to set a topmast, with English colours hoisted halfmast, he bore down for her, while another Schooner to leeward hauled up for her;—She proved to be a French 84, having lost her rudder, masts and bow sprit, and having 700 men on board.—The Frenchman ordered Capt. T. to send his boat on board—which he did; and was surprised soon after to see it return full of men armed, who brought a two line on board, and made it fast to his mainmast. Capt. T. told them it would tear his vessel, to pieces; but he was not needed. The other vessel which was commanded by Capt. Grazier, of Boston, then came up having two officers and five Frenchmen on board. They stood W. S. W. & came very nigh getting afloat the Man of War, and would, had not Capt. T. cut the hawser. Capt. T's sails were torn in pieces, and the Frenchmen consisting of a Lt. a Midshipman, and six men, took command of the vessel; and mistrusting he intended making a push, hove about for the ship.—The captains of the Schooners went on board the ship to find out where they intended going; but could obtain no intelligence; only they wanted to keep the ship's head to the W. They had about sixty
fathoms cable stuck out of the ward-room, after, but nobody tended it, to steer the ship; they had got up a main and fore spar masts, but two thirds of the men were lying between decks.—One of the crew, who could speak English told capt. T. they were going to make sail, and take him in tow, hand his sails and steer by him; and that if they could not do any thing with the ship, they were coming all on board the two vessels, which could not hold them with swept holds. Capt. T. then returned to his vessel, amused the Lieutenant, and made preparations for retaking his vessel, and pursuing his voyage.—Four of the Frenchmen were put down the hold, and Capt. T. taking command of the quarter deck drove the officer below. In the contest Capt. T's mate was pulled nearly half way down the hold by the Frenchmen; but his men hauled him back, fastened the hatches down, hoisted out the long boat, drove them into it singly, let them go for the ship, and then made sail to get out of gunshot.
The above ship was Ad. Willaumez's flag ship, Le Frudroyant .
From the Norfolk Herald of Sept. 2. We have it from respectable authority, that Sir Edward Berry, who was admiral Nelson's Captain at the battle of the Nile, and who commanded one of the four sail under Admiral Cochrane, at the time of falling in with the French fleet, has resigned in disgust and gone for England, owing to Cochrane's not engaging them. When Nelson paid his compliments to the King after the business of the Nile, his Majesty observed with sorrow, that he had lost his right arm. "I have," replied the hero, "but not my right hand—give me leave to present Captain Berry to your Majesty."

Political Miscellany.
FOR THE PORTLAND GAZETTE.
MR. ADAMS, LIVING in a country where the liberty of speech, and of the press is tolerated, you will permit me to exhibit a retrospect of our former grandeur, contrasted with a view of our present political state. The close of the revolutionary war, saw our heroes crowned with laurels—our new born country just emerging from the thick clouds of despotism, and rapidly advancing to the meridian of national glory: our agriculture and
commerce, in a very flourishing state, and our whole country making gigantic strides from the miserable state of servitude to which she had been reduced, to national liberty.
During the administration of Washington and Adams, we were continually progressing in useful arts; our independence was firmly established; our national flag was respected on the high seas; our alliance was courted, and our commerce was sought by almost every nation. The bulk of the people although many of them were poor, were nevertheless industrious and prudent. Our revenues were regular, and the burden of the taxes was laid upon the affluent, who then thought it no hardship to contribute largely from their abundance.
been fitted out at the expense of a party, to ride about the country for the express purpose of distributing votes. By this means, a vast many sober, well minded men, who would have fought only for a man of good sound principles, and a person professing christianity, are now so inflamed by these extraordinary measures, that they become adherents to a party, which on cool deliberation, they would reject and despise, and which they would openly oppose, were they possessed of the means of fully investigating each particular, and allowed to choose for themselves. Such has been the method which the Democratic party have taken to build up their cause in the District of Maine, and their success has indeed been very great; and while such destructive practices have the countenance of any honest men of either party, we cannot wonder at the advantage which is gained by designing men and demagogues, who have joined to their party a large proportion of the ignorant and credulous; those who are easily persuaded to let their votes be at the disposal of any man, who will tell them a feasible tale, and give them many hasty squibs of the hand, on public days. But I think the time is not far distant when the people will indignantly throw off the yoke, which these pretended friends are placing upon them, and acquiring from their slumbers, bravely assert their form of liberty. I have no with however, to found the Tocin of alarm among the people, or to inflame the minds of my fellow citizens, with resentment against their rulers, but viewing these things as they really are, even with a spirit of the most dispassionate candor, and rational inquiry, and we shall be tempted to exclaim O Tempora! O Mores!

The purchase of Louisiana, that delightful country, abounding with "Sat Mountains," "Prairie Dogs" & "Magpies," has been extolled by all the worshippers of Mr. Jefferson, as one of the prettiest feathers in his cap; we have been told again and again by these disinterested patriots, that with the possession of this garden of America, all disputes respecting our southern boundary, would cease forever; but has the acquisition of this territory verified these wiseacre prophecies we appeal to the proceedings of the last session of congress, and the present situation of our affairs between the United States and the government of France and Spain. It is said, dispatches have lately been received from Mr. Monroe, stating that the negotiation for the Floridas has failed.
Vote more tribute money, we presume, will be the saving policy of our present saving administration. Mr. Jefferson must now find himself in a sad dilemma: more money must be taken from the "mouth of labor" and given to France; or the strong arm of government must be put in operation; unless we are already reduced to a "colonial sense of fear," and prepared tamely to submit our sovereignty and cash to the modern Alexander of Europe. But Mr. Jefferson's wonderful sagacity has enabled him to foresee the storm that is gathering round him. The southern papers say he will decline a re-election.
Strange as it may seem, for once in his life he has resolved on quitting the post of danger. Whoever may be the next President of the United States, we hope the choice will fall on a character possessing energy and ability to protect the interests and independence of our country.
We have been informed that the negotiation for the FLORIDAS has failed. This information was received from Virginia very lately. It seems dispatches from Mr. Monroe, our minister at the British Court, were conveyed to Monticello, by one of Mr. Monroe's family, who lately landed at Boston.—This gentleman mentioned the failure on his way to the President's—Washington post.
Bonaparte will never relinquish his design of possessing either the Floridas or Louisiana. Disappointed by Great Britain in taking possession of Louisiana, he sold it to the United States for the sum of Fifteen Millions. The boundaries were however unsettled, and on receiving possession, Congress passed laws creating Collection Districts within the limits of their purchase. Spain took umbrage at this procedure, obstructed the navigation of the Mobile, and refuses to settle the boundary. It was our opinion, from the purchase, that the ceded territory, would be a bone of contention between the two countries. We think a rupture nearer than we first imagined. Are we prepared to give up our rights, or will we in our desire to preserve peace, verify the assertion of Mr. Randolph that in our zeal to purchase Florida, or in other words to purchase peace, cast the national purse into the scale. We must either pay, relinquish our rights, or unsheath the sword. The alternative is before us. One or the other we must do. Negotiation is now out of the question.
MR. FESSENDEN'S PAPER.
Our readers will notice on the first page of this days paper, the prospectus of the WEEKLY INSPECTOR , a paper which has lately been established at New York, and is edited by Thomas G. Fessenden, Esq. the celebrated author.

and correct principles of Mr. Follen... entitled him to a generous encouragement from a liberal and enlightened public. Subscriptions for the Weekly Inspector , are received at this Office.
ANOTHER NEW PAPER. Mr. Carpenter, the late able and patriotic conductor of the Charleston Courier , has commenced the publication of a paper at New-York, entitled "The Peoples' Friend, and Daily Advertiser." If to devote one's time and abilities in support of our republican institutions and aid that cause on which rest the honor and prosperity of our country, merit and receive support, Mr. Carpenter will ever find a liberal patronage. Subscriptions for the Peoples' Friend and Daily Advertiser received at this Office.
By the politeness of a friend, we have obtained a copy of the following excellent address, which was delivered by President M'KEEN to the graduates, at the late commencement at Bowdoin College:
Address to the Baccalaureates at Bowdoin College, on commencement day.
GENTLEMEN, HAVING finished the course of studies prescribed by the laws of this institution, you are now to receive its first honors, and soon to enter upon public life. I trust you need not be assured that the governors and patrons of the society, and we especially who have had the immediate direction of your studies, feel deeply interested in your usefulness and happiness in life. As instruction here commenced with you, on you, more than on any succeeding class will depend the reputation of this infant seminary.
As the broadest, firmest and surest foundation of your future usefulness and respectability, let me earnestly recommend to you piety towards God, and a life of virtue founded upon evangelical principles. You will make a very dangerous mistake, if you think it sufficient to maintain a decent character, formed on worldly principles and governed by worldly motives. I am not unwilling that religious principles and resolutions should be strengthened by a regard to reputation; but the gospel of our blessed Redeemer directs our supreme regard to Him who knows the secret springs of all our actions. And God forbid that you should ever be ashamed to be governed by the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ. If you heartily embrace the religion of the Redeemer, it will furnish you with the most powerful motives to practise the things that are virtuous and praiseworthy; and in a humble dependence on divine aid you will resolve with holy Job, that your heart shall never reproach you so long as you live. Would you maintain consciences void of offence towards God and man, without which you cannot be happy, shun the pestilential society of those who are enemies to the religion of Christ. In the commerce of the world you must sometimes fall into the company of such, but let them never be your chosen companions. Evil communications corrupt good manners. Let your chosen companions be men of virtue, men who fear God and keep his commandments. He that walketh with wise men shall be wise, but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
Whatever profession in life you may choose, whether law, physic, or divinity, you ought never to imagine that the talents which the Author of nature has given you, or the instruction you have had in the first elements of science will supersede the necessity of diligence in the prosecution of your studies. Inquire among the living, or among the dead, and you will find no example of great eminence without industry.
And in whatever station the providence of God may call you to act your respective parts, let your whole conduct be directed by an inviolable regard to duty, and that delicate sense of honor and propriety, which shuns the appearance of evil. In your intercourse with the world let your behavior be marked with candor, and guided by sincerity and truth. Avoid every dishonest art to advance your interest or reputation, and probably the world will do justice to your characters; but if not you will have for your consolation the testimony of your consciences which is infinitely better than the plaudits of millions.
Honorary degrees were conferred on the following gentlemen:— Ichabod Tucker, A. M. Harv. Isaac Lincoln, A. M. Harv. James Eliot, A. M. Harv. Leverett Saltonstall, A. M. Harv. Oliver Bray, A. M. Yale.

COMMENCED. Gorham Academy. —On Monday last was dedicated to the purpose for which it was erected, the Academy at Gorham. This beautiful edifice does honor to its founders, and is an ornament to the District. In addition to its situation, which commands the noblest prospects in nature, the tast and elegance of its architecture cannot fail to gratify the eye. There are few structures of this kind, whose local advantages are so delightful; and while the lovers of literature cannot but admire the surrounding beauties of nature, improved by so fine a specimen of art, it must also afford them the highest satisfaction to reflect, that this institution commences under the most favorable auspices; that its infancy is committed to the care of one, fully qualified to render the progress of its improvement equal to the increase of its years.
The ceremonies of the day began with a large and respectable procession, consisting of the Board of Trustees, some of the Rev. Clergy, Inhabitants of the town and Strangers, which proceeded to the Academy; then to an appropriate and eloquent prayer by the Rev. Mr. Kellogg, a judicious, solid and elegant discourse on the principles of early education was delivered by Mr. Reuben Nason, Preceptor of the Academy, to a numerous and respectable audience. In this discourse was happily united the excellence of polished composition with the energy of sound reasoning and correct sentiment. From this ingenious display of talents and valuable information, we feel the fullest confidence in the Orator's powers of instruction. He stated in a brief, though comprehensive manner the different departments of learning, which would claim his particular attention; and in these we think him highly qualified to take the charge of those who may be entrusted to his care. We heartily congratulate the public, and particularly the inhabitants of Gorham, and its neighboring towns, on having a building, so worthy of the object, for which it was founded, and an instructor so worthy to preside in its walls.
After the performances were over, the Trustees, with a select Committee, returned to Mr. Shaw's, and partook of a handsome entertainment, prepared for the occasion; and the day was closed with pleasing pride and satisfaction.
To the Editor of the Argus. ON recollecting your scurrilous and personal allusions to the Editor of this paper, in the Argus of the 22nd of May and 7th August last, which so justly enrich the columns of your (we had like to have said "classic") paper, and reflect so much honor on its conductor, and the profound talents of your correspondents; one would have supposed a consistency of character would not have suffered you to have been guilty of plagiarism towards us to that degree which your last paper exhibited.
Literary. Ramsey's Life of Washington. —We congratulate the friends of literature on the pleasing information that Dr. David Ramsey, of Charleston, S. C. has written a " Life of Washington ," which a gentleman who has read the manuscript pronounces to be "a piece of elegant classic biography." We are given to understand it will be put to press the coming winter, in one volume octavo.
The eminent literary acquirements of the Doctor, added to his great literary fame, as the author of " the history of the American revolution ," and other works, together with the portable size of the work, and its proportionably low price, leads us to hope, that it will receive that encouragement to which its great merit will no doubt entitle it. [Prov. Phoenix.]
It is asserted, notwithstanding all that has happened, that the Court of Spain, instead of recalling the Marquis Yrujo, have confirmed his appointment as Minister to the U. States!— Cent.
The Richmond " Enquirer ," a Jeffersonian paper, after mentioning the report of the failure of our negotiation with Spain (i. e. France) for the purchase of the Floridas, adds, "Thanks to the hatred which Bonaparte bears to Republics; and thanks to the particular zeal of M. Talleyrand, in inflaming his masters mind against us."— ibid.

Lee's Bilious Pills. Extract of a letter, dated Fort Ann, (State of New-York) July, 1806, from Doctor ISAAC SARGANT, to Doctor Samuel H. P. Lee, New-London. HAVING been for about fifteen years in the practice of Physick, in this place, where the most prevailing diseases are of the bilious kind, and frequently those of the most alarming and obdurate grade, I had with much anxiety witnessed the deficiency of the Cathartics generally made use of in those complaints, and anxious to find a better composition than any I had yet been acquainted with: at the advice of a friend, I made trial of your " New-London Bilious Pills "—which so far exceeded any other medicine of the kind in their good effects in removing the complaints for which they were administered that I have now for a number of years, made use of a number of dozen boxes in my Practice in each year, much to the advantage of my patients. I use so many of your pills, that it would be an object to purchase them direct from you, therefore will thank you for your prices for cash, delivered at Troy, &c. &c. ISAAC SARGANT.

Its devastating march has extended from Virginia to Georgia."
"I have, however, been so fortunate as to escape an attack from those dreadful fevers which prevail in this country; and I attribute my escape, in a great measure, to the extraordinary virtues of certain Pills, manufactured by Dr. Lee of New-London; the good effects of which, in preventing those disorders which arise from bile, are certainly undoubted."

As the principal object of the sale will be to promote the immediate settlement of the township, it will be disposed of on terms unusually liberal, and to none except such as will become actual settlers. Those therefore, who wish to obtain Farms on such terms, are invited to examine the township, and for further particulars apply to MOSES GREENLEAF. Bangor, 1806.
