Cookery Book. JUST published and for sale at ISAAC ADAMS' BOOK-STORE, No. 7, Fish-Street. A New System of DOMESTIC COOKERY, Formed upon Principles of Economy, And adapted to the use of Private Families. By a LADY. "As the directions were intended for the conduct of the families of the author's own daughters, and for the arrangement of their table, to as to unite a good figure with proper economy, the author avoided all excessive luxury such as excess of ham, and that wasteful expenditure of large quantities of meat for gravy, which so greatly contributes to keep up the price, and is no less injurious to those who eat, than to those whose penny bids them obtain. Many receipts are given for things, which, being in many use, the mode of preparing them may be supposed too well known to require a place in a cookery book; yet how rarely do we meet with well melted butter, good toast and water, or well made coffee! She makes no apology for minutiae in some articles, or for leaving others unnamed, because she writes not for picknicked cooks. This little work would have been a treasure to herself, when she first set out in life, and therefore it may be useful to others. In that idea, given to the public, and as she will receive it in its encouragement, to the truth it will escape without censure."

Poetry. THE TOMB OF ELLEN. Stranger! if by worldly views Thy heart is dead to Love's controul, If feeling ever nurs'd with dews The rose of passion in thy soul; Turn from this grave, thy sullen tread, For this is Pity's holiest shrine— The lilies that surround the dead, Would shrink from such a hand as thine. But if thy breast with ardour warm, Beats to the thrilling glance of beauty; If thou hast knelt to woman's charm, With all of Love's enraptured duty— Then, stranger, pause and linger here, For Love and Pity seldom sever; And from the sighs to passion dear, Where Ellen sleeps, alas! forever! Sweet maid! within thy gentle breast, Affection bloom'd, oh! how sincerely! And why did fate, with frown unblest, Break a fond heart that lov'd so dearly! For cold beneath the western wave, Her lover found an icy pillow; No flow'r to deck his lonely grave, No death-shroud but the foaming billow! The spirit of the morn had sigh'd, Delighted o'er the rose's bloom, But sorrow came with withering stude, And swept its beauty to the tomb. Stranger! if love awake your sighs, And Love and Pity seldom sever, Pause where that rose of beauty lies— Where Ellen sleeps, alas! forever!
THE PREACHER.....No. 11. "Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations." THIS text, like many others in the sacred volume, is frequently understood and explained in a very wrong and dangerous way. Some pretend, that by this, and similar passages, they have the liberty of hoarding up wealth, of acquiring property by any and every method which their ingenuity can suggest; and such people are, generally speaking, not very nice or scrupulous in the choice of means for the attainment of their favorite object. By fraud and oppression they will doubtless acquire vast heaps of treasure, but their hearts callous to every benevolent affection, and dead to the principles of virtue; and they will blindly fall down and worship the idol of their own setting up. But the whole tenor of our Saviour's preaching was widely different from any thing of this kind. Active benevolence and charity, were his favorite themes. If one would make to himself friends of the mammon of unrighteousness, let him give liberally from the abundance with which his store houses are filled. Let him seek the poor that are cast out, and bring them to his table, that they may eat and be satisfied. Let him cheerfully clothe the naked sufferer, and uphold those who are bowed down. Let him eat his bread upon the waters, and he may be assured that he shall find it after many days. The blessings promised to the liberal man are great, and even if he not looked for a better state of existence, the sweet approbation of his own conscience would amply repay him. But, we should consider that the good things of this life are profusely showered down upon us, and given us in trust; and as we use them, so in a measure, will be our future estate. We are not to use this world's goods as our own, but we ought rather to consider ourselves as stewards over our lord's household, and that he will one day demand of us a faithful account of our stewardship. If we ignominiously hide our talent in the earth, we must expect to meet the punishment of the slothful servant. If we squander away what is committed to us, and do not take a prudent care of our property, we shall be verily guilty, and must stand reproved; but, let us use this world as not abusing it. Let us be "faithful over a few things." Let us be diligent in our respective callings, and impart cheerfully to the necessities of others. Let it be our chief endeavor as far as our ability will permit, to ameliorate the sufferings of others, and to lessen the burden of human woes. Then shall our sacrifices come up as sweet incense before the Lord, and our faith and works shall join to make us blessed.
Corsican Mamelukes! Buonaparte's Mameluke, who guards his chamber, must be one of these whiskered Frenchmen, or still viler Corsicans, who compose his Mameluke guard. His only real Mameluke was killed at the battle of Austerlitz. Buonaparte's flight from Egypt always rendered, even in the deluded Frenchmen, a Mameluke guard about the tyrant as very equivocal; when the secret at last became disclosed, and it was discovered to be composed of a few sallow-looking French and Italians, who had been in Egypt, and whom he dressed in the Mameluke costume.—London Post.
FORGERY DETECTED. [Some of our readers may remember, that about the beginning of the present year, we extracted from a Philadelphia paper, a curious account of certain writings found in a globe of Marble, dug up at Aleppo, from which it was inferred, that the Apocalypse or Revelations, was written by Cerinthus, and not by St. John. This account was given in a Philadelphia paper as a translation of an article from the Marseilles Gazette, of the 20th October, 1806. A writer, under the signature of Cephas, commented on this narrative in the Palladium; and expressed his fears, that this story was transcribed from a French paper into some of ours by some disciple of Tom Paine, to discredit the validity of the New Testament. Some gentlemen who knew the circumlocution of editors of periodical papers, at this time, in Roman Catholic countries, doubted if such a publication ever appeared in a French Newspaper: Among these was Dr. Waterhouse, who being a member of the Marseilles Academy of Sciences, &c. wrote to one of his correspondents in that city, and enclosed the publications on that subject from our paper; and on Friday he received, via Philadelphia, the following letter in answer to his queries:—] (New-England Palladium)
MARSEILLES, MARCH 23. SIR, Immediately on the receipt of your letter of the 12th of January, I went to the printer and editor of the Marseilles Gazette, to inquire, agreeably to your wish, respecting the "Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Aleppo to his friend in this city," said to be printed in the Marseilles Gazette of October 20, 1806. On examining the number of that date, there was not to be found a single word of the matter! I was accompanied in my researches by M. Achard, the director of our public Library, and perpetual Secretary to our Academy of Arts and Sciences. This is an old gentleman, endowed with much learning, especially in antiquities, and whose son is actually the printer & editor of the Marseilles Gazette. He assured me, that he had no recollection of any such article, as appeared in the Philadelphia paper, as appeared in the New-England Palladium, purporting to be a translation from the Gazette of this city. We examined, with strict attention, all the Gazettes from the first of August until this day; and it is our opinion as well as the opinion of many other gentlemen, that the piece which caused so much alarm in the timorous consciences of your country, is an absolute lie, or has been published in some other paper; but of which, we have no knowledge whatever.
The vessel which carries this will sail off to-morrow, or I would have annexed a certificate of Mons. Achard, and of the Magistracy of this city, to support what I have said. I hope, however, that the minds of your friends of the clergy will be satisfied with what is said above. You are at liberty to use my letter as you think proper. I remain, &c. &c. LOUIS VALENTIN.
Dr. Waterhouse, Professor, &c. The people have an undoubted right to investigate the political character of every man, who presents himself as a candidate for public office; and to comment on the probable effects of the tenets which he is presumed to entertain or to advocate. In this, consists the freedom of the press. But they have no right to ruin his reputation, to expose his foibles or his weaknesses, when those foibles or weaknesses are not calculated to disqualify him for the contemplated station, or to injure the community in the event of his being the successful candidate. No upright or rational man will contend, that the leader of a faction, or his hireling scribblers and printers, are privileged to destroy the domestic repose, and wound the feelings of his family, to gratify the malignant passions of a few ambitious and aspiring demagogues. In this consists the licentiousness of the press. Those who countenance such a system, are either weakly or wickedly corrupting public taste, undermining the freedom of the people, and imperceptibly, but certainly preparing the way for the horrors of despotism. And, until in the wrath of Heaven, for our murmurs and our wickedness, a Cobbet and a Duane, a Callender and a Cheetam, from the dregs of Europe, were cast upon our peaceful shores, we were strangers to this vile and abominable mode of political warfare.

FOREIGN.
An arrival at New-York, has furnished London dates to April 21, about nineteen days later than before received; the principal articles of intelligence are given under our foreign head.—Peace between England, Russia, and Turkey is restored.
The H.Q. of the French army was still at Osterode. The late movements of Massena, and the large reinforcements the French are continually receiving, indicate some important enter-prise.
Supreme Court.
ON Tuesday last, the Supreme Judicial Court commenced its session in this town. His Honor Chief Justice Parsons delivered a learned and elegant charge to the Grand Jury, in which was displayed the genuine principles of a republican form of government—the duty of jurors was pointed out in a clear and pertinent manner, and the nature and tendency of the various crimes were explained and commented upon. At the close of the charge, the Judge, after stating the reason & design of the religious institutions of the country, dwelt with particular emphasis on the vast importance of a strict adherence to them in the maintenance of a free government and the preservation of the peace and happiness of civil society.
From the high reputation Judge Parsons has long supported as a law character, the public had formed a correspondent opinion of the acquisition he would be to the Court on his appointment to the bench; yet we believe everyone that had an opportunity of witnessing the prompt, able and dignified manner in which he discharged the arduous duty of his station, found their expectations more than equalled.
At this term came on the trial of Joseph Donough , for breaking, entering and stealing from the Maine Bank, in January last, a quantity of Gold and Silver, amounting to between twenty-six and seven hundred dollars; he was found guilty, and sentenced to 1 month's solitary imprisonment in the gaol in this town—after which to be removed to the State prison, and be confined to hard labor for five years, and pay costs of prosecution. From the behavior and conduct of this man it appeared, that tho' young in years, he is old in iniquity.
The observations on one of the democratic representatives having a bill of indictment found against him, cannot be admitted: we deem it unfair as well as unjust to make any comments in relation to a cause which is to be decided by the laws of the country.
QUERE? —Is it true that Mr. B. has borrowed all the share colours to assist this day, in order to signify to the public that he expects shortly to be furnished with plenty of cash by certain modern patriots?
QUERE? —Was the firing in this town on Saturday last, on account of Mr. Sullivan's or Mr. Bartlett's success?
MILITARY.
Wednesday the 20th ultimo, the Brunswick Light Infantry, under the command of capt. Thomas Estabrook, paraded at an early hour to commemorate its anniversary; and at eleven received an elegant new Standard from the approving fair.
A band of music playing Washington's March; the venerable matrons of the neighborhood in sable and the young ladies in white uniforms appeared in front of Mr. John Green's, and Miss Rachel Owen advanced and presented the standard to ensign Robert D. Dunning, with the following address.
Sir, A number of ladies, who have had an opportunity of witnessing the military spirit and correct discipline of the Brunswick Light Infantry, have requested me to present you this pledge of their approbation.
The American standard was planted by the father of our country on the Fortress of Independence. Virtue and valor have been its guardians and defenders; and to its Eagle the greatest nation on the globe has paid a debt of homage. Under the benignant constellation of its stars, victory has found rest in the tents of liberty, plenty and peace. That the blessings, transmitted us, may be perpetual, may every son of Columbia imitate that patriotism, which has given us the first rank on the list of nations. To the world our Flag unfurls the Olive and the Arrow. Should any foe assail this favoured land, now the last refuge of liberty, we trust he would find every American bosom glowing with spartan fire, to save the honors our sires have won.
Confident of the readiness of this united band of volunteers to defend the American character, we cheerfully commit to you this emblem of our union, with this injunction; it must never be polluted by the hand of an enemy. The soldier is woman's protector; and let him remember, she exults to bind the laurel on the hero's brow, but never smiles upon a coward. Let the soldier and citizen emulate the principles of Washington and his followers, and the liberty of our country be preserved.
To which ensign Dunning replied.
With peculiar pleasure, in behalf of the Brunswick Light Infantry, I receive from you this testimony of approbation. We hope the ladies, who have thus honored us, will be gratified in beholding this standard waving among those who they can honor for their valor and love for their virtue. Your expression of confidence in our exertions, is highly gratifying to the feelings of a soldier. We shall ever glory in being the protectors of woman; and we trust the daughters of Columbia, while they behold their brothers and husbands, armed in their defence will never know the insulting power of an enemy.
As soldiers and as patriots, we are proud to recognize the names of those heroes, who under God, "planted the American standard on the Fortress of Independence," and led her sons to victory, liberty, national respectability and happiness. Altho' our Washington is no more, may his example and that of his brave associates ever guide the American soldier. Should our country ever call us to her defence, we hope cheerfully to obey her summons, and when "mid the battle's ire" this flag shall be unfurled, we will remember the conditions on which we hold it, and resolve never to resign this standard, while we have an arm for its defence."
The profound silence of a large concourse, a first view of the unfurling color, the dignified and impressive manner in which Miss Owen spoke, especially when she said "it must never be polluted by the hand of an enemy," combined to interest the feelings and elevate the pride of a soldier, & excite the sensibility of all. A tear stole down the furrowed cheek of fathers, who had fought our battles, and it glowed in the eyes of their grateful descendants in arms.
The promptness and exact order, displayed by the spirited young corps of Federal Republicans in a variety of manoeuvres, fanciful evolutions & brims evinced the strict attention paid to the respective duties of every grade in the company. It was gratifying to observe (what is not rarely seen except in our seaports) a company with uniforms, arms and equipments in complete order. From this specimen of the skill and discipline of the Brunswick Light Infantry, we think they now claim and will maintain a distinguished rank among the troops of Maine.
Appointment —James Prince, Esq. of Boston, Marshal of Massachusetts District, vice Thomson J. Skinner, resigned.
The Hon. Oliver Livermore, Esq. is appointed Chief Judge of the Superior Court in Connecticut.
Mad D. g. —At Lebanon, Colchester and Franklin, many families have lately experienced heavy losses of cattle, in consequence of having been bitten by stray dogs in a state of madness.— Connecticut pup.
Major Sparks, with a detachment of U. S. troops, being refused permission to pass the Mobile, on their way to Fort Stoddard, have been ordered back by Gen. Wilkinson.
Presidential Candidates —A writer in a Clarion paper proposes, that a Caucus of Members of Congress should be held to nominate a presidential candidate, and he gives as his list for consideration, George Clinton, R. R. Livingston, C. Pinckney, Gen. Smith, James Bowdoin, James Sullivan, and Nathaniel Mowen.
With a consistency, peculiar to themselves our democratic Senate have chosen for their President, Noble Baga Dana, Esq. a lawyer; and for their Clerk, J. D. DUNN, Esq. another lawyer. And the House have re-elected for their Speaker the Hon. PETER MORISON, Esq. another lawyer; and for their Clerk, C. P. SUMNER, another lawyer. If the Attorney General should be declared Governor, and "Farmer" Lincoln, Lieut. Governor, who are both lawyers, the THING will be complete, considering how much the democratic leaders have, for many years past, enveloped against lawyers. These are very good Comments upon their Text, and must be proof positive of their sincerity to the good people of this Commonwealth. [Boston G. C.]

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! WHEN the attention of the public is sol- icited by the author of a recent discover- ry, and in declining on its virtues he be- comes the panegyrist of his own merits, he will naturally incur the imputation of vanity; but it is not impossible that with such a de- fect, more noble qualities may be united. Instead, therefore, of judging liberally re- specting the motives of those who make them- selves the heroes of their own tale, ought we not rather to encourage individuals of active and cultivated minds, to present us with the details of their professional progress, with the fruits of their experience, and with the result of their matured reflections.

The Jaundice is discovered by want of ap- petite, coquishness, dullness and oppression, at times an irresistible propensity for sleep, and at others, too great watchfulness, a yellow- ness by degrees diffused over the complex- ion, tinged the urine, and whole mass of the fluids are infected with bilious secretions and an excess of time the blood acquires a ten- dency to dissolution and putrefaction; in these cases it either degenerates into a drop- sy or ends in an apoplexy. A discharge by venesection is considered by the most learned of the profession, as a means for a length of time to preserve the life of the patient. That by an evacuation of bilious matter, the system may be freed from the bad consequences which ensue on its stagnation in the habit to accom- plish which desirable effect, and to correct and prevent the putridity of bile, a better medicine than here described, has never been discovered.
They are particularly serviceable in habitual coquishness, and in an oppressed and weak stomach. They are gratefully warm and pur- gently aromatic; exert wind in the easiest manner, without immediately heating or in- flaming the bowels; they are extremely ser- viceable in all seasons, but in the course of my practice I have proved them particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bil- ious habits experience such a total loss of ap- petite, listlessness and oppression; in such in- stances, by the application of this remedy the stomach is invariably fortified, appetite and digestion effectually promoted, and plentiful perpiration produced. They possess moreover the property, peculiar to themselves, of qualifying and ameliorating those inflammatory pernicious qualities, inherent in ardent spirits and so often fatal when taken upon an empty stomach, and convert them into a wholesome, pleasant and invigorating stomachic. Being peculiarly adapted to cleanse the urinary pas- sages, they are singularly serviceable in drop- sies, by giving tone to the solids, enriching the blood, and invigorating the whole system. From their celebrity as an antidote against the scurvy, they are particularly calculated for sea-faring persons, to whose attention they are respectfully recommended. Persons leading sedentary inactive lives, are most sub- ject to these complaints. All, therefore, in such situations, though not immediately aw- are of inconveniences, would act wisely by securing a continuance of health, by means of this generous stomachic, as well as all epis- curies and bon vivants who wish for a deli- cious and delicate preparative for the appetite he best companion at the festive board.
