Political. [A series of very valuable papers headed "Jefferson & Callender," has appeared in the New-York Herald, investigating in a masterly manner, the conduct of the modern Jeroboam and his unprincipled hirelings. We have this day commenced them in the Gazette, and recommend them to the most careful and dispassionate perusal of every American reader, as a standing proof of the unparalleled imposition which has been practised upon them.]
JEFFERSON & CALLENDER. No. 1.
OUR readers will recollect that we some time since republished from the Richmond Recorder, some remarks of Callender, in which he states that the specimen sheets of the first volume of the Prospect had been sent to Mr. Jefferson as they were printed off; that upon his receiving them he returned, not merely a letter of thanks, but to Callender's great surprise he had directed Mr. George Jefferson to pay him fifty dollars. That when the first part of the second volume was put to press, Mr. Jefferson sent, unsolicited and unexpected, a second remittance to the same amount. We at that time briefly commented upon this very extraordinary conduct on the part of our Chief Magistrate, and intimated that we should resume the subject more at length at a future day. We have since seen the Aurora, the American Citizen, and the National Argus, with an impudence and an audacity unparalleled, enter upon a defence and justification of this conduct in its full enormity. We shall therefore give the subject a more thorough examination, and we confidently believe, that the result will support what we have already advanced, and tend at once to cover with shame the Idol of the day, and with confusion his humble, hiring champions. Should our language on this occasion be marked with more than customary fervidness, we shall offer no apology, but rest entirely upon the strength of the case before us.
The Citizen commences by declaring, that Callender "on whom no reliance could EVER be placed, and whose continual inebriation is one of the least blemishes in his character, is become an avowed apostate. He is a living instance of that great truth, that a man without morals cannot be of service to any cause, to any nation, or to any people. He seems to have been made rather to disturb than to subserve mankind. He is restless, unprincipled, licentious." His coarse and vulgar manner, and the known profligacy of his life, have always defeated the object of his writings. Coming from him, even the majesty of truth seems to have suffered much of its energy and splendor. The republicans have reason to rejoice that this pestilence of morals has withdrawn from their ranks."
This is the character now given of one who lately shared so largely in the intimacy, the confidence, and the regard of the Chief Magistrate of our country as to submit to his friendly eye the polluted pages of falsehood and sedition—he snuffed the tainted gale of slander, and graciously rewarded the author.—Yes, fellow citizens, the man who is now plainly declared to be "restless, unprincipled, and licentious," was paid by Mr. Jefferson for libelling the administrations, and even attempting to blast the private characters of Washington and Adams for ever; and this too at a time when he held the second place in the government. But to those who have been accustomed accurately to observe the conduct of Mr. Jefferson this circumstance will occasion little surprise. He who whilst Secretary of State employed a hireling press to abuse the other members of the administration, whilst it abounded in flattery to himself, was every way equal to the exercise of the same base means of self-aggrandizement when he had become Vice President. And yet this is the man who, after thus making his way to the head of our government, affects to be indifferent to public honors: who never ceases to pant after literary retirement and philosophic ease, but humbly submits to the task of ruling over us in pure obedience to the voice of the people. How long, fellow-citizens, will you continue to be the dupes of this canting hypocrisy? How long will you continue to repose confidence in him: who can descend to hold friendly intercourse with a man who is described as "the pestilence of morals?" Such we are told by Mr. Jefferson's champion is the character of Callender; such then are the instruments which Mr. Jefferson has used to promote his own elevation; such are the wretched expe-
dients by which he has imposed upon the sense of the community. Not to weary even the most indolent reader, we make this a mere introductory number; but the subject is fertile, and we pledge ourselves to slight no part of it. The facts on which we are about to comment, afford a key to unlock the very secrets of the heart. We only have to solicit the lover of truth and justice to accompany us through our labors, and we venture beforehand, to promise him he shall have no occasion to regret his compliance with our invitation.
Mr. WOLCOTT'S Address To the PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. No. II.
"1st. THE first subject of inquiry relates to the construction, which has been given by the Treasury Department to various laws, for appropriating money in the Treasury, especially in relation to the expenses of the War and Navy Departments." This introduces the famous question concerning specific appropriations; the history of which question from the time when the small-minded rivals of our first financier started it as a weapon to assail his administration, until this report of the Investigating Committee, would comprize a most essential portion of our national history, and would unfold no small insight into the secret impulses of political jealousy, and the water closets of the human heart.—But we have not the time to enter into the necessary details of this history, and so far as relates to Mr. Wolcott's publication the results alone are material.
Mr. Wolcott enters not minutely into the merits of the question itself.—This has been done by "LUCIUS CRASSUS," in the 11th number of his examination; after perusing which, we boldly pronounce it impossible for any man of candid mind to entertain a doubt upon the subject.—That writer has filled the cup of demon-stration to the brim, that specific appropriation, as far as can be consistent with the unobstructed transaction of necessary public business, and with the true practice of economy, has been always practiced, from the first establishment of our present national government; and he has crumbed into dust the sophistical quackery of the recommendation to subdivide appropriations into every object susceptible of definition.
Mr. Gallatin himself, one of the loudest clamourers in favor of minute and specific appropriation, until he had got the keys of the national Treasury into his own hands; what says he now? The same thing as LUCIUS CRASSUS— "As laws can be executed only, so far as they are practicable, and as unavoidable deviations will promote a general relaxation, it will be expedient, in the several appropriation laws, especially for the War and Navy Departments, NOT to SUBDIVIDE THE APPROPRIATIONS, BEYOND WHAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY USEFUL AND NECESSARY."
Reader!—What sayest thou to this?—Compare it with the recommendation of the Presidential message, and tell me whether it would not be a most appropriate text for a series of numbers, Gallatin vs. Jefferson—or Gallatin vs. himself. No! Thou hast not hit it—There is a clue to reconcile them in perfect harmony—The principle of the message, was asserted to convey sense upon the past administration—the principle of the report was to provide for the convenience of the present—Mr. Jefferson's object was only a new voucher for his title, upon the old Irish principle—Mr. Gallatin's was to secure peaceable possession.—Well may Mr. Wolcott observe on this passage—
"All candid men will perceive, that principles never recognized, and always disavowed, are with the utmost rigor applied to past transactions of an administration, which has reired—to the transactions of a period of great difficulty, when preparations of all kinds for the public defence, were progressing with activity; they will at the same time, perceive, that the future application of the same principles, in a period of profound quiet, and in respects to reduced establishments is DEPRECATED by the present administration."
But more misrepresentation and unfairness were not sufficient for the purposes of the Committee—It was not sufficient for them to have one set of weights and measures for the former, and another for the present administration—It was not sufficient for them to stigmatize, as an irregular practice founded upon an arbitrary Treasury construction, what Mr. Wolcott proves to have been a practice ten times over sanctioned, after full and sharp investigation and debates by both Houses of
Congress—The moderate intoxication of invidious insinuation, and oblique detraction, was too feeble and vapid for the tone of their stomachs.—Nothing could satiate them but the double distilled brandy of direct falsehood.—Thus they assert,
"That the appropriations for the army and navy respectively, have been considered as constituting but one general fund for each of these objects, although in most of the laws making appropriations, a variety of heads of expenditure are distinctly specified."
On this assertion the same Committee afterwards found the unqualified animadversion, that in their opinion "considerable sums of public money have been greatly misapplied, and that much expense has been incurred, without any legal authority."
Now let us hear what Mr. Wolcott says of the supposed facts upon which the Committee base their opinion.
"The letter of Mr. Gallatin does not, however, authorize the declaration of the Committee. On the contrary, he enumerates a variety of accounts, both in relation to the War and Navy Departments, which he expressly admits, "have been considered as distinct from each other, and from all other, made in relation to the Army and Navy respectively." It moreover appears, from two statements, annexed to Mr. Gallatin's letter, and which were printed for the Committee, that "from the year 1797, to the year 1801, accounts were opened with the War Department, under twenty-four, and with the Navy Department, under seventeen heads of expenditure."
Messieurs Nicholson, Giles, Williams and Elmondorf!—Before this plain and unequivocal answer, what has become of your one general fund without distinct heads of expenditure?—If a man should to the face of either of you, characterize your assertion by its proper name, you would think yourselves obliged to shoot him through the head to convince him of your veracity—as I am out of your reach, I shall apply to it no epithet which a timid man might scruple to use in your presence—But whoever wants a just and energetic description of your statement, and of his answer, may find it in the words of a favourite writer of your own.—It is
Gingerbread in the jaws of a Mammoth. LELIUS.
Biographical. GROTIVS.
THIS great civilian and this general scholar is thus described by Auberi du Maurier, who was intimately acquainted with him:
"Grotius was a very good poet in the Greek and in the Latin languages, and knew perfectly well all the dead and living languages. He was, besides, a profound lawyer, and a most excellent historian.—He had read all the good books that had ever been published; and what is astonishing, his memory was so strong, that every thing which he had once read, was ever present to it, without forgetting the most trifling circumstance. It has been often remarked, that persons of great memories have not always been persons of good and of sound judgment. But Grotius was extremely judicious, both in his writings and in his conversation. I have often," adds Du Maurier, "seen this great man just cast his eye upon a page of a huge folio volume and instantaneously become acquainted with the contents of it. He used to take for his motto, Hora ruit, to put himself in continual remembrance that he should usefully employ that time which was flying away with extreme rapidity."
Grotius was born at Delft in Holland; was a tall, strong, and well made man, and had a very agreeable countenance.—With all these excellencies of body his mind was still as excellent. He was a man of openness, of veracity, and of honor, and so perfectly virtuous, that throughout his whole life, he made not only a point of avoiding men of bad character, but of seeking the acquaintance of men of worth and persons distinguished by talents, not only of his own country, but of all Europe, with whom he kept up an epistolary correspondence."
Grotius escaped from the castle of Louvestein, where he had been confined on account of his connection with the illustrious and unfortunate Barneveldt, by the address of his wife. She was permitted to send him books, and the sent them in a trunk large enough to hold her husband. She made a pretence to visit him, and stayed in the fortress till her husband was out of the reach of his persecutors.
Grotius took refuge in France, and was accused by some of his countrymen of intending to change his religion and become a Catholic. "Alas," replied he to one of his friends who had written to him on the subject, "whatever advantage there may be to quit a weaker party that opposes me, to go over to a stronger one that would receive me with open arms, I trust that I shall never be tempted to do so. And since," added he, "I have had courage enough to bear up under imprisonment, I trust that I shall not be in want of it to enable me to support poverty and banishment."
Louis XIII. gave Grotius a very considerable pension. He was, however, no favorite with his Minister, Cardinal de Richelieu, whom it is said he did not sufficiently flatter for his literary talents, and the pension was soon stopped. Grotius, however, met with a protectress in Christina, Queen of Sweden, who made him her Ambassador at Paris. Here again he was harassed by Richelieu, who was angry with him for not giving him that precedence as a Prince of the Church, to which Grotius thought himself entitled as a representative of a crowned head. This dignity, however, was so little agreeable to a man of Grotius's great and good mind, that in a letter which he wrote to his father from Paris he tells him, "I am quite tired out with honors. A private and a quiet life alone has charms for me, and I should be very happy if I were in a situation in which I could only employ myself in works of piety, and works that might be useful to posterity." His celebrated work upon the truth of the Christian religion, has been translated into all the languages of Europe, and into some of those of the east. This great scholar in early life composed a Devotional Treatise in Flemish verse, for the use of Dutch sailors that made voyages to the East and West Indies.
His countrymen, who had persecuted him so violently in his lifetime, struck a medal in honor of him after his death in which he is titled the "Oracle of Delft, the Phoenix of his Country." It may be seen in the "Historie Medalique de la Hollande," and verifies what Horace said long ago,
Urit enim fulgore suo, qui praegravat artes Infra se positas: eximius amabitur idem.
The man whose life wise nature has design'd To teach, to humanize, to sway his kind, Burns by his flame too vivid and too bright, And dazzles by excess of splendid light. Yet when the hero seeks the grave's sad state, The vain and changing people, wife too late, O'er his pale corpse the fruitless honors pour, Their friend, their saviour, and their guide de- And each sad impotence of grief betray, [plore To re-illumine the Promethean clay.
Agricultural.
The surface of the earth, together with the atmosphere that embraces it, furnishes the food of plants; and the different classes of plants, like the various classes of animals, seem to require a correspondent difference of food. Hence, in part, arises the necessity of a frequent change of crops; because when plants of the same species are continued in constant succession on the same piece of ground, they exhaust it of that kind of food which nature had designed and prepared for their particular nourishment.
In some plants, as in some animals, there is an uncommon degree of voracity. Flax so completely devours all the food of vegetables within its reach, that it is next to impossible, on most grounds, to raise two good crops of it in immediate succession. Indian Corn also exhausts the nutritive powers of the earth, in a very great degree. These and similar crops should seldom be sown or planted two years in immediate succession; but should be succeeded by plants which are less exhausting. Perhaps no crop exhausts the ground less than potatoes; yet experience proves that a constant and long succession even of that crop greatly diminishes the quantity and injures the quality of the fruit, even tho' the ground be kept never so rich by manures. The cause of this may possibly be, that the potatoe delights (if I may here use the word) in one particular kind of food or modification of food; therefore, tho' it does not impoverish the ground generally, it exhausts it of that particular kind of nutriment, which is most proper for its own growth.
Ground that has become unfit for potatoes, by having been copiously cropped with them, will sometimes produce a luxuriant crop of wheat, indian corn or flax.—Bilance.

Finding it impracticable, in a sheet of the usual size, to give publicity to the numerous articles which occur for a newspaper publication, the publisher is induced to issue the Gazette on a larger scale, and with such improvements as he hopes will meet with general approbation. The extensive support he has hitherto experienced, has led him to make such arrangements as will enable him to pay more particular attention to the duties of an editor. Convinced of the importance of a well managed and independent press, in these "evil times," on pains will be spared in prosecuting this establishment with redoubled vigor. And to this end intelligent and able correspondents are solicited to contribute their aid.
The principles of the Gazette are too well understood to require comment—It is sufficient then to say, that it will persevere in them with a spirit of integrity and zeal, not to be swerved by intoxicated power, nor affected by the mean servility of its opposers. It shall preserve a manly opposition to the destructive principles of Jacobinism, intolerance, and irreligion, which threaten to overwhelm society—but it shall not descend to low abuse. It shall be free, while we are allowed the freedom of the press, to comment on public men and public measures—to commend good men and good measures—to censure bad men and bad measures. This shall be done independent of private character or concerns, any farther than may be connected with public.
All due attention will be paid to obtain the latest and most correct intelligence, both foreign and domestic, of a general nature;—and particular pains will be bestowed on marine articles, prices current, &c. And he earnestly requests his leasing and commercial friends to assist him in these important branches of information.
Biographical and Agricultural sketches shall also receive proper attention.
The editor forbears further professions, content that a liberal public will form a just estimate of his labors, and encourage or censure them agreeable to their merit.
The price of the Gazette is enhanced from nine shillings to two dollars. The difference in the quality of paper, quantity of matter, &c. is presumed will justify this measure to all its patrons.
To the Editor of the Portland Gazette.
East-Town, 20th Sept. 1802.
TO me it is an occasion of merit to hear with how much zeal and earnestness the Republican press defend the rights of conscience and the natural rights of man. When a person swaggers about his courage where there is no danger near, or the least probability of his ever being in the way of any to try his prowess, it has generally been taken for an infallible sign of cowardice: This is exactly a parallel case with the conduct of these boasting champions of conscience and the rights of man. The state Constitutions have made an impregnable wall against any invasion upon conscience; and are themselves expressly founded upon the natural and equal rights of man, which was no novel doctrine of practice even at the time of their formation: and what further throws the laugh upon these republican howlers is, that nobody advocates principles or conduct, in the least, repugnant to these rights; why then do they talk so much about these subjects, and endeavor to raise suspicions and alarms? does not every body, who has but a moderate share of understanding, plainly see their designs? deplorably ignorant, indeed, are the people must be, if we do not.
I have lately seen, in several of Jefferson's papers, an extract from an oration said to have been delivered in some part of Vermont, by one of his tools, on the fourth of July; the orator says, "Jefferson is remarkably distinguished for a liberality of mind, which alone elevates him above all competition; but he gives no instance of liberal conduct in his great man; and I think he and all his friends must be puzzled to point out a single fact through the whole of his life that can be shewn to flow from a true liberality and dignity of mind. On the contrary every action of that elevated impostor, which wears the appearance of liberality, may be demonstrated to be the effect of a little, mean, selfish, unscrupulous soul."
The orator continues, He venerates the public sentiment, as awfully sacred. This is not true: if Jefferson paid any more respect to the public sentiment than he does to the negroes that trot after him to hold his stirrups or brush his boots, he never would have taken the chair of the United States; for he does know the voice of the people did not place him there; and he likewise knows it is not agreeable to the public
sentiment of the free people of America that he should remain there. To the mercenary aid of foreigners, to mobs and the black animals of Virginia is he indebted for his unnatural elevation. The man who considers it indifferent to society, whether the people worship twenty gods, or one God, can venerate nothing that is truly dignified, because such a one's heart must be corrupt, and his intellect blinded with pernicious errors: Hence that sentiment which draws from him his veneration can be no other than the opinions and feelings of the base, corrupted, and ignorant part of the community; he has no relish for any other. Examine his conduct—Look at his appointments. Can there be a greater buttesque on mildness of temper, on liberality of mind, or dignity of conduct than to attribute either of them to Thomas Jefferson. To every person acquainted with him the very eulogies of his friends will ever be looked upon to be just and keen satire upon his public conduct. Did he manifest any liberality of mind in his treatment of Governor Sargent in turning him from office, contrary to his plighted word, and without a hearing, on the groundless charges of his most bitter enemies? Yet it will be allowed very liberal to put in his place a happy headed boy, whose brains can no more resist the natural action of two ideas than a green pumpkin can the explosion of a charge of gun powder!—Was there any mildness or moderation or justice to the public in his conduct to the late Collector at New Haven? Goodridge was acknowledged by Jefferson himself to be every way well qualified to discharge the duties of the office he held. On this ground there was no complaint; but there is an implicit confession on Jefferson's part, that old Bishop, who succeeds Goodridge, was not at the time of appointment, and experience has since proved that he is not now, or ever was a fit person and able to do what a man ought to who is put into that office. What does this public transaction evidence but a little sense of mind, a disregard to public good, a wicked disposition to reward favorites, and a fixed opposition to the public sentiment of the state of Connecticut. But says JEFFERSON, who is the best commentator upon his own conduct, and will explain the motives that govern him in his appointments, "You don't yet see the whole ground, you must know this young Bishop who is hated and detested in the state where he has always lived, published a pamphlet little before the election, in which I was made President, came on; a copy of which was forwarded to me. This contained much abuse on the Washington and Adams administrations, and all the federal party.—It also ridiculed the clergy and did much to bring that order of men into contempt with the ignorant part of the community as well as with all the improved and transported renegades, who have always been particularly attached to my cause, let that be what it may. This pamphlet, as a certain great Patriot, not a thousand miles from Portsmouth, would testify were he an honest man, was read in my presence and before a large collection of brother Jacobins, and we were so pleased with the sentiments and their tendency on ignorant and wicked minds, that, like Herod who was charmed with the buffing of a girl as to doubt whether half his kingdom would be an adequate compensation to her for the amusement she had afforded them, and so gave her the head of a prophet; we also, for some time, were at a loss how to reward this faithful servant and calumniator, till, in a moment of rapture, when the company were clapping their hands and shouting their praises on young Bishop for what he had done to vilify my predecessors and pull down the religion of his state, I swore by more than twenty gods, that if I should succeed in getting the Presidency I would give him the first office I could get hold of in that fanatical state. Now it is well known in Connecticut, and some of the neighboring states, this Bishop, son to the Collector, has always been looked up on a poor, worthless kind of a vagabond, that he was ever opposed to the Constitution and did all he could to prevent its adoption; and generally, in moral and social connections, his character was so bad, that little as I regard the moral virtues, I thought it would not do to give the office directly to him. For there is reason in all things; and some of my adherents, thanks to the gods the number is very small, are yet so silly as to think morality and religion are good grounds for confidence in public men. It was our wish, however, that he should have the emoluments of the office, and how could that be effected otherwise than by making out the commission to old Bishop; we knew he was not able to do the duties of office, and would be obliged from necessity to take his son in partnership with him—thus for a little while the profits might be divided. And as old Franklin died some where between the age of eighty and ninety, Philosophy led me to think it very probable that old Bishop would die
too—and we did not care how soon—then the young one, having done the duties of the office, might take the Commission, and no more notice would be given to the subject. Now ye sovereign people, I make my appeal to the lowest, most vile, base and ignorant of you, and I truely you make a majority of the whole, whether this transaction, taken altogether, is not highly liberal on my part, and whether it is not justice to young Bishop? Do I not deserve all the homage of your high respect? Is there another man in the United States, who if he had been President, would have given a commission either to Jappy head Caius, or to old Bishop for the benefit of his son? I make my appeal to the sovereign people, but in all my conduct I take it for granted a majority are ignorant and vicious; and I give you this information that such of you as have no virtue to recommend you, may not despair of getting the largest share of the loaves and fishes, notwithstanding. If I do now and then stumble upon a man of honesty, talents and integrity, pray give yourselves no uneasiness, this will be but seldom. Take a survey of my public administration, and judge ye if I have not given pretty good evidence that I elchew the moral virtues almost as much as a certain old federalist did evil. Look at my great officers of state: do you not there see a man who fled his own country, and has contributed largely to excite insurrection and rebellion in this; who, for ten years excited his utmost to stop the wheels of government while honest men bore away? Does not another drop his eyes and knit up his brows with dark, unrelenting malignity, at every measure of the late administrations; and can his qualification for office be doubted when it is seen, from his important report on the military establishment, with what exactness he can subtract nine ragamuffins from ten, and boldly as well as publicly assure the people of the United States, that the difference is one, more or less; I am confident, such another military genius is not to be found in the whole republican sect; I would not except our GENERAL. These is my great law man; he has given his opinion but two or three times, and tho' this was on the same subject on a single point, yet he has never been lucky enough enough to agree with himself; and what is worse my friends and daily associates make him the butt of ridicule before my face and at my own table. Time would fail me were I to give you a detail of the qualifications of all those I have appointed to office: I therefore shall make a general appeal to them, and desire you to examine for yourselves, with this observation, I am very much mistaken if there is to be found more than two or three instances where I have put into office a character so good as the man I have turned out. Begin at Castine in Maine, where I have made two changes, and range through the United States to Georgia, and you will find this fact conspicuous in all my appointments. Is not all this very liberal; you see I not only associate with insurgents, convicts, and seditious characters, but I am anxious to pick out all such to reward them with office; you will never get another President so liberal. Some of my friends have charged me with want of liberality to my fellow labourer, J. T. Callender. This is an unlucky case I confess; but here again the sovereign people don't see the whole ground. I shall not dispute his merits, or pretend that I could have got the Presidency had it not been for his services; I have tried them and know them well. As soon as he landed on our shores I had an interview with him, by means of some of our good patriots. I was told he had been a scape gallows; and I saw the marks plain enough in his face. I took him into service, and tho' it may look like justice, which I hate but when it is to remunerate baseness, I must say he was faithful to my wishes; and few of the jacobins know how much they are indebted to his agency for my elevation; and I with them would be less severe in their remarks, for they may provoke him to publish more than he has yet done, and it is in his power to do us great injury. But after I got into the Presidency and took a survey of my situation, I found it impossible to gratify every rascal I had employed. Their cravings are like the grave. I feared both him and Duane; and I now see I trusted them too far; but what can a man do when running for a great object: It is true, as Callender says, I had twenty five thousand dollars in view, and was obliged to use every tool I could get hold of. Duane I have silenced; this was my first object when I got into power. But if he is possessed of a spark of conscience! Gracious Heavens! I've twenty Gods! Almighty nature! * * * * * Callender, like young Bishop, was such a notorious rascal, that it would have hurt our cause in the eyes of the set , had I given him what he demanded; and I tho' the money I gave him out of my
own and the public treasury, ought to have satisfied him; and he knew I should have been always ready to have added small sums if he had continued in my service. Had he an old father, like Bishop, I might have put him in office, tho' he was incapable of holding a pen; and young Callender might have done the duties of it, and received the profits. But Callender had fled his country and his relations; he seemed to stand alone, with the mark of Cain upon him, and I could not silence him without running, what I then conceived, greater risks. As things have turned out, we must meet the consequences, and perry them as we can. I despair of finding another under strapper equal to him for the purposes of calumny; and in Virginia and North Carolina he was all-powerful; he had some influence in Maryland and Pennsylvania, but in these states he had not the patronage of a Munroe, a Mason, or Giles, as he had in Virginia. But if we lose him, I promise myself much aid from the Duane and Cheetham that are monthly transported to this country for their crimes; they will stand by us, and I trust by their labours we shall continue to rule in the United States."
You have now, fir, the defence of Jefferson; and tho' it is not satisfactory to me, being one of the old school, to his set it ought to be a justification; and I don't see how he could have done otherwise, unless he become an honest man and courted the virtuous part of the United States, and in such an event he would have failed being President as there were others in whom they had more confidence. But the low, base, ignorant and vicious, in any country, will always have a Jefferson ready to head them; and as often as these make a majority, or are so near a majority that they can by intrigue, threats, and mobs make one, Jefferson will be their President. All such leaders must run a risk of having their nefarious projects exposed. Catalina as well as Jefferson had his defectors—the latter has been more fortunate than the former, in accomplishing his object before the wickedness of the means he made use of was fully known.
Those of the old school who continue of opinion that righteouness exalteth a nation, and that sin is the reproach of a people, will deplore the present state of things in this country. To see vice rewarded and virtue frowned upon in most of the appointments by the head of the nation, will bring to their minds the reign of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who made Israel to sin. The probable and natural consequences to the people of this country, from Jefferson's elevation to his present station, in the depression of the standard of virtue and the estimation of religion among all classes, are so correctly and clearly pointed out by the Rev. Mr. Emmens, in a sermon from the 21st verse of the 17th chapter of the 2d book of Kings, that I most heartily with every man who considers morality and religion a reality, would procure and read it with attention. The parallel between Jefferson and the son of Nebat is so striking that we can hardly prevent an opinion that our President is emulous to copy after that King. What are the woes and miseries brought upon the children of Israel by Jeroboam and those who followed in his steps are literally recorded in the Bible; and what will be the effect on the people of this country by Mr. Jefferson's reign, we can already more than conjecture, if we attend to the spirit that is spreading abroad and becoming an active principle, in the minds of his eulogists, as to morality and religion.

Foreign Intelligence.
[By a late arrival at Boston.]
LONDON, JULY 31.
TREATY OF COMMERCE.
The Moniteur complains of the reports which have prevailed respecting a Treaty of Commerce with England.—These reports, it seems have excited an alarm among the French Manufacturers, which is the object of the semi official notice to dispel, by declaring, that the restoration of the manufactures is the object of the constant solicitude of the Government. The paragraph, however, does not state that no Commercial Treaty will be entered into with this country.—The report, therefore, of some arrangements, for regulating the trade between the two countries being now in contemplation, remains still uncontradicted.
The Moniteur contains some arreton commercial affairs. By these, the town of Antwerp is included among the number of Ports into which leaf tobacco may be imported; the duties on fresh, dried, salted or smoked fish, imported into France from foreign countries, are to be collected conformable to the tariff of the 15th of March, 1791; the commercial intercourse between the island of Nointoutier, and foreign countries is re-established, on the footing in which it existed previous to the law of the 4th Germinal, year 2.
AMERICAN TRADE TO INDIA. The commerce of the United States to India is increasing in a degree highly injurious to the interest of this country. During the present season, upwards of two hundred ships have failed from America to India and China. The licentiousness of Salem alone has sent out 26. The Americans can build and victual their ships at a third part of the expense to which we are subject, and their trade is unincumbered by the enormous charges for civil and military establishments in Hindostan, to which our traffic necessarily contributes; the consequence is, that they can and do undersell us in most of the foreign markets; and that unless some means be adopted to rectify this commerce, most unwisely granted to them, the importations of our Company must shortly be confined to our internal consumption.
An article dated Naples, may be regarded as another French Manifest against Algiers, which the Chief Consul seems determined to attack. Bonaparte is anxious to reconcile the English to his plan. He enlarges much on the insults and atrocities the Algerines commit against the English, and by representing that if he fights our cause he hopes we will countenance his proceedings.
Several Officers of the garrison of Breft have been recently immured in the Temple, for having added to their vote for the Consulship for life, that Moreau should be Bonaparte's successor.
It is said that a very spirited remonstrance, signed by eighty five General Officers, has, within these few days, been presented to the First Consul. It is a masterly piece of eloquence, and speaks the language of soldiers who feel themselves injured. In it the Consul is told, that it is dishonest and impolitic to favor our army which served in Italy and Egypt, to the prejudice of the brave troops that conquered in Germany, and of those who put down the rebellion in La Vendee. Neither Massena nor Augereau signed this remonstrance, which was ill timed, because in was true.
By order of Government the remaining caps of liberty which are yet seen upon many of the public buildings at Paris are to be removed!
Louis the XVIII. is dangerously ill, disposed at Warsaw.
TURKEY.
We yesterday stated that the merchants interested in the Turkish trade had made the necessary enquiries to ascertain whether that branch of our commerce would be injured by the troubles which at present prevail in every quarter of the Ottoman Empire. A deputation from the members of the Turkey Company waited on Lord Hawkesbury, by appointment, yesterday, to obtain information on this subject, and to request the accommodation of one or two ships of war, in case the progress of the insurgents should render it expedient for the company to remove any part of the English property from that quarter. We are happy to learn that the answer returned by Lord Hawkesbury was perfectly satisfactory. His Lordship assured them, that there existed no ground of apprehension with regard to the safety of British property in the Turkish dominions; but as the government had generally kept up a small naval force in the Levant, he would make the necessary application to the admiralty for the appointment of two frigates to that station, which would remain there for the protection of the trade.
His Lordship also informed the Deputation that his Majesty's ministers has no reason to suppose that attempts would be made from any quarter to violate the integrity of the Turkish Empire. With regard to the concession which the Porte is reported to have made to France, of the free navigation of the Black Sea, his Lordship observed, that government had no knowledge of any agreement to that effect having taken place; but if the Turkish Government should think it proper to make an arrangement of this nature with the French Republic, the deputation might rest assured that no privilege would be granted to the French trader, which would not be equally enjoyed by the subjects of his Britannic Majesty.
Letters from Vienna state, that Pasha Oglou has returned to that part of Wallachia which he quitted early this month, and returned with great reinforcements. Bucharest has fallen into his hands. Some skirmishes are said to have taken place with Austrian detachments. Large bodies of Austrian troops are on their march to Transylvania.
Vienna, July 24. Letters received to day from Constantinople, and dated the 26th June, mention that hostility is restored to the Capitol—and confirm the accounts before received of the sum of a million of Giorgi Pacha.
COPENHAGEN, JULY 13.
TRIOLI. Last week intelligence was received here, that the Pacha of Tripoli has declared, with respect to the Swedish ships of war cruising before that port, that in case his city is bombarded, he would consign to the flames all the Swedish subjects who are in Tripoli.

Portland, MONDAY, SEPT. 27, 1802.
FROM LISBON.
Capt. Gannison who arrived here last Thursday in 53 days from Lisbon, informs us, that five days previous to sailing, he saw a letter from the captain of an English man of war, to the American Consul, informing him of a Moorish brig of 14 guns, being off Cape St. Vincent.
FROM MADEIRA.
Captain Noice, arrived here from Madeira (see marine list) informs, that when he left there no Moorish cruisers had been out; and adds that the English, doubtless from motives of policy, had spread several false reports among the Americans, that the Moors were already in the Atlantic.
FROM THE UNITED STATES.
By recent letters it is stated, on the authority of Richard O'Brien, Esq. that Spain, in order to avoid a war threatened by Algiers, has consented to pay the Dey the enormous sum of two millions of dollars, and to alter her national colour.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The Galen, arrived at Boston, has brought papers to the 13th of August, containing the following
BONAPARTE PROCLAIMED CONSUL FOR LIFE.
London, Aug. 9. The Monitor of the 4th inst. which we received on Saturday, contains the official report on the Register, and the decree of the Senate, appointing Bonaparte Consul for life. The exact numbers which voted on this question are stated to be 3577459; of these 3,568,885 voted in favor of the consulship for life; the dissenting voices, therefore amounted to 8374.
THE DECREE OF THE SENATE CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING DISPOSITIONS:
1. The French People nominates, and the Senate proclaims, Napoleon Bonaparte Consul for life. 2. A figure of bronze, holding in one hand the laurel of victory, and in the other the sceptre of the Senate, shall attest to posterity the gratitude of the nation. 3. The Senate shall carry to the Consul the expression of the confidence, love and admiration of the French people.
THE PROCLAMATION OF THE CONSUL FOR LIFE.
has given birth to several severe and abusive pamphlets, which, however, the Police has instantly seized.
LONDON, AUGUST 13.
We yesterday received by the French Mail the Paris Journals of the 8th and 9th inst. The foreign intelligence contained in them is not important, but there is an article in the Monitor, which will not fail to be read in this country with great interest and attention. It is evidently official, and purports to convey some very strong reflections on the observations which have appeared in the Times respecting the conduct of the Chief Consul in the Government of France.
We were not uninformed some days since that the writings in the Times had given considerable offence to certain persons in Paris who seem to consider the most gross flattery to be the best criterion of their attachment to the person of General Bonaparte, and of their conviction of his justice and moderation in the exercise of his foreign authority.
Although we are aware that the freedom of discussion which we exercise in right of the liberties of Englishmen cannot be very pleasing to the most unbounded despotism that ever disgraced itself in Europe it may not be unimportant to explain the motive which gave rise to the insertion in the Monitor.
In the Times of the 27th ult. it was asserted, that towards the middle of July, twenty two persons were privately taken from the Temple for the purpose of being transported abroad. They had undergone no trial; their friends knew nothing of their destination; and we have since learnt that some of them were sent to Belleisle, a fortress in the Pyrenees.
Is it not enough for the French government to be able to dispose as it pleases of the liberties of its own subjects; does it pretend to interfere openly with foreign Constitutions, and to dictate Senatus Consultum to surrounding States?
The freedom of the Press is the great guardian of the British Constitution, and will not be surrended at the fumes of the Consul! — Times.
APPROACHING ELECTION.
The Massachusetts election of Representatives to the eighth Congress, takes place on the first day of November next — Maine is divided into four Districts, for the choice of a Representative each — To wit, York district — Cumberland district — Lincoln district — and Kennebec district.
FROM THE KENNEBEC GAZETTE.
A CARD. The citizens of the county of Washington, earnestly solicit the patronage of PHINEAS BAUC, Esq. from their federal brethren in the counties of Kennebec and Hancock at the approaching election for a member of Congress.
TO THE ELECTORS OF THE THIRD DISTRICT.
MR. JENKS. An Electioneering piece signed "York," has appeared in a Portland paper, in which the writer, after having with true Jacobin reasoning proved that Mr. Lord is an unfit candidate for a Representative in the next Congress, because he is recommended in a New England paper of a small size,* and because he is to be supported by Federal Republicans, and Honest Men, directs the attention of the Electors of this district to Mr. Cutts of Pepperellboro' and asks "has he not been tried and found faithful?"
FELLOW CITIZENS.
If such are the kind of faithful men we ought to instruct our dearest rights and interests with, do not fail to vote for Cutts — But if you wish for a Representative who instead of studying whether a measure proposed is federal or jacobinical, and voting as the leading jacobins do, right or wrong, will consult whether it be Constitutional?

* EAGLE OF MAINE, a small paper published at Kennebec.
A character correctly drawn.
Alluding to Jefferson, the editor of the Newyork Evening Post, introduces the following just sketch of his character, written about a year since, by William Smith Esq. late our ambassador to the court of Portugal:
"We shall now take leave of Mr. Jefferson and his pretensions, as a Philosopher and 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 have hitherto been deceived by a plausible appearance and specious talents, or misled by artful partisans, that the reputation he has acquired, is not bottomed on solid merits; that his abilities have been more directed to the acquirement of literary fame than to the substantial good of his country — that his philosophical opinions 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 favoring measures of a cautious and diloriganizing tendency, always leaning to those, which would establish his popularity, however destructive of our peace and tranquility — that his political principles are sometimes whimsical and visionary, at others, successive of all regular and stable government — that his writings have betrayed a disrepect for religion, and his partiality for the impious Paine, an enmity to Christianity — that his advice, respecting the Dutch company, and his open countenance of an incendiary Printer, and of the views of a faction 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 debasement 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 foundation of our excellent Constitution, and the consequent destruction of our present prosperity."
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 debasement 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 foundation of our excellent Constitution, and the consequent destruction of our present prosperity."
Extract from the Baltimore Republican. &c.
The press has been the instrument by which the present calamities have risen, and the press must be the remedy, or the evil is remediless. It is a day men owe to their God, to society, to their offspring, to encourage the circulation of publications, the tendency of which is strongly to the public welfare — Now ought to be the struggle, vehement, manly and persevering. If this struggle be not made, and be not successful, the wounds the constitution has already received will never be healed, and the proposed amendments will inevitably operate its speedy destruction; and, sure as night follows day, under the pretence of making rulers more immediately responsible to the people, the senate and the house will be one; all power, executive, legislative, and judicial, will be lodged in a single popular branch; this will govern the nation, and two or three leading characters will govern this; the appointment to office will become far more than now a matter of corruption; offices will be filled only by unworthy characters; "keep me in and I will keep you in" or "turn this president out and put me in, and I will give you this office," will be the language of successive factions, till some Bonaparte shall grasp the whole.
According to the last census, the state of Virginia has
Table with 2 columns: Category, Count. Rows: Free 539 000, Slaves 347 000.
Massachusetts, with thirty six thousand and more free inhabitants than Virginia, will send to the next congress but fifteen representatives, while Virginia, will send twenty one.
The whole number of slaves in the U. States is upwards of 880,000; hence three fifths of them being represented, they send to Congress FIFTEEN REPRESENTATIVES: without including Tennessee, — the census of which state is not now known by us.
EARTHQUAKE.
Extract of a letter received by a gentleman at Marblehead, from his son at Cumtux (on the Spanish Maine) dated 16th of August, 1802.
"Yesterday morning, as I was going up the river in my long boat, and being about half way up, there occurred a very severe shock of an Earthquake, which alarmed me beyond imagination. The river where I then was, was only six feet deep. The first effect which I perceived was the land in motion exactly like the waves of the sea; the people all quitting their houses, and falling on their knees, praying for protection. The bottom of the river rose in such a manner, as to strike the boat's bottom so severely, that it broke off the rudder as I was fleeing it — The shock lasted but a very little while — I got on shore as quick as possible; and my apprehensions were much heightened from seeing the earth opened in one place from 60 to 100 feet in length, and from 30 to 40 feet broad, which before was cultivated, but now is a body of water. All the way up the river, on the right hand, the land was laid open more or less; and many houses and trees were shaken down. When I got up to town, I found all the people in the streets; — they had run out thro' fear of being buried in the ruins of their houses. About 12 o'clock was another shock, I think heavier than the first: the houses that were standing, were in motion like a ship at sea; we were all expecting, every moment, the earth to open and swallow us up. I was so much overcome, I scarcely know how I behaved: seeing every one on their knees, praying — the priests and friars in procession, with all their saints carried with them, supplicating heaven for protection was enough to effect the stoutest heart. As soon as I could, I made all possible haste to my vessel, and was very glad to get there — About 8 o'clock in the evening was another small shock, which did but little damage. During the whole night the inhabitants were in prayer, and in procession walking up and down, and did not know where to go for safety. I am told there were but few lives lost. There was a number of houses destroyed and scarce a house but received more or less damage. — Even the fish in the river rose upon the surface of the water, and aimed to get out to the ocean; they seemed to be in great terror; the water in the river, during the day and night, was in very great agitation — I desire to bless God, who saved me in this hour of great peril."
Good news — By the Spanish schooner Santa Rosa Lima, arrived at New York from Havana we learn, that there was every prospect of that port being speedily open to American vessels loaded with stock and lumber — Our informant says, that when he failed, this question was before the government of that place, brought forward in consequence of a petition from the inhabitants, praying the admission of those articles, as lumber was very scarce.

the amiable consort of Mr. Stephen M'Leellan, and daughter of Enoch M'Leellan, Esq. "Death, like an overflowing stream, Sweeps us away: Our life's a dream, An empty sport, a morning flower, Cut down, and withered in an hour. A thousand of our years amount, Scarce to a day in thy account; Like yest'day's departed light, Or the last night's ending night."
A son of Mrs. De Witt, of New-Haven, whilst on a visit to his friends in Newyork, in June last, was unfortunately bitten by a mad dog; no symptoms of the hydrophobia appeared until after his return to New-Haven, where he died on the 9th inst. in a state of agony not to be described. This, and other accidents of the like nature, ought to operate as a caution to the owners of dogs, to be careful how they suffer these animals to go at large in defiance of the laws of the corporation, and to the hazard of many valuable lives.

THE RIVAL PLAGUES.
WHEN old PANDORA's haggard form,* Borne on the pinions of the storm, Wing'd her dark passage to the earth, To give her embryo curses birth;
Lean FAMINE stalk'd, with meagre limb, And sunken eyes, so gastly dim! At his approach the tendrils blade Shrunk from the sun beam and decay'd;
Next PESTILENCE, with putrid breath, Exhal'd the pois'nous fumes of death! Contagious vapours round him cast, And drooping millions breath'd their last!
Now, hoarsely breathing like the storm, Forth strode a huge gigantic form; His locks, all gory, upright stood; His swollen face was linear'd with blood;
At length a distant sound was heard; A countless multitude appear'd; O'er the wide plain the advancing throng In stately columns mov'd along.
Again the trumpet's brazen throat Rung through the air its dreadful note.....
And now the fight's begun: Swift as the waves of ocean rush, Firm legions meet, with horrid crush; To swift destruction run:
While far around The cannons found; With warlike prance The steeds advance, And tear the smoking ground.
And now more fierce the weapons thrust, While slaughter'd heaps embrace the dust; More fierce the wheeling squadron turns; More fierce infuriate rancour burns;
The rolling drum—the dying groan, In direful concert pains the ear— The loud artillery's constant tone, With pealing echo shakes the sphere.
They fly! they fly! The victors cry; Let the trumpet's martial sound Echo victory around— They fly! they fly!
With VICTORY, sweetly, The music shall sound; They're vanquish'd completely, They give us the ground. Blow, blow the shrill trumpet, The day is our own! The drum, briskly thump it, All danger is flown!
But lo! to check the sudden flush of joy, Some kindred slain th' exulting breast annoy; While the proud victor strides the conquer'd field,
To bitter grief his stubborn heart must yield, Here, stretch'd at length, a lifeless father lies— There roll'd in dust, a wounded brother dies— A widow'd mother seeks her kindred dust— An orphan sister mourns the victory accurs'd!
Thus WAR's exploits. PANDORA stood, And view'd the scene of fire and blood; Bid other plagues awhile repose, And crown'd the monster 'KING OF WOES!' LORENZO.
* Pandora, according to the heathen Mythology, was endowed with gifts by all the gods and goddesses; she had a box containing all sorts of evils, which she emptied into the world, when Hope was found at the bottom, to sooth and comfort mankind.
