Political Miscellany.
From the Commercial Advertiser.
TO intelligent and reflecting minds, the present is a moment, of the most serious apprehension and alarm. At no period since the establishment of our government, has our political horizon assumed a more inauspicious and threatening aspect.—“Clouds and darkness” rest upon our land. In this situation it becomes the people deliberately and faithfully to survey the ground on which they stand, and to seek a refuge from the approaching tempest.
With the view of leading the people to examine, reflect, and prepare to act, we shall give a hasty sketch of the real situation of our country, and the dangers which threaten it. The View shall be concise, plain, and as far as we go correct. The external and internal situation shall be distinctly examined.
THE EXTERNAL SITUATION.
It will here be necessary to look back to the commencement of the last session of Congress. At that period, the government found itself involved in a series of difficulties with the three principal maritime nations of Europe. Great Britain had invaded our neutral rights, captured our vessels and impressed our seamen.—France had attacked our commerce, and blockaded our southern ports, insisted on an interdiction of our trade with Hayti, and demanded tribute, on the penalty of a French and Spanish war. Spain had robbed our merchants, imprisoned and butchered our seamen, made inroads into our territory, carried captive our citizens, and bid defiance to our laws or rights, and our government.
Thus wronged, insulted, and humbled, the people turned their eyes to the administration—they waited with silent solicitude, for prompt and prudent measures to vindicate our honor and extricate us from our embarrassments. But what was the result? Were the measures adopted such as ought to have been expected from a wise and discrete government? Were they such as the delicate and critical state of our affairs demanded? Were they such as, under similar circumstances, had been successfully pursued by a former administration? Were they, like those, adapted to the preservation of peace, and the restoration of harmony to our foreign intercourse? Alas! the men who by their injudicious, temporising, inefficient measures, had brought these evils upon the country, if they had the disposition, had not the talent to remedy them. Every measure they pursued only increased our embarrassments—Every step they took only involved us in still deeper difficulties.
At the moment, when our Minister at London, had advised our executive of the prospect of an amicable adjustment with England—when he had intreated that no rash measures should be interposed by our government, a bill was introduced into the Senate, confiscating British property, offering a bounty on the murder of British

Foreign Intelligence,
Late and Important!
By the Resolution, capt. Brown, who arrived at Boston on Monday last from Liverpool, London dates to October the 9th, have been received.
LONDON, OCT. 9, 1806.
LORD LAUDERDALE'S RETURN.
Yesterday afternoon, Lord Howick, Secretary of State, sent a note to Lord Mayor, inclosing a copy of a message by Telegraph, just received from Deal.
TELEGRAPHIC MESSAGE.
"From Deal, 7 minutes past 1, P. M. Oct. 8, 1806."
"A Messenger arrived. Lord LAUDERDALE quits Paris, to-morrow. Clyde frigate ordered to attend." Immediately the Lord Mayor read Lord Howick's note to the Exchange: And sent it to LOYD'S—where it diffused universal satisfaction, evidenced by repeated huzzas and bursts of applause. The Ministers were at the levee, at the queen's house, when the telegraphic communication arrived.
OCT. 9, 1806. P. M.
RUPTURE OF NEGOCIATION.
The Lord Mayor's information was greeted with cheers from all parts of the Exchange, and at LOYD'S, with three times three: Joy prevailed every countenance, and every man congratulated his neighbor upon the failure of the negotiation. This expression of the sentiments of the Merchants of London will have a suitable effect upon the councils of the TYRANT OF FRANCE. An illumination was talked of.
Mr LISLE was the messenger who brought the tidings of Lord LAUDERDALE's intended departure. He left Paris the 7th at five o'clock in the morning, and arrived at Boulogne at night, immediately embarked in a French boat, was picked up by the Dauntless praam, which landed him the next morning at Dover. He hastened to London, and arrived at 8 o'clock. Ross the Messenger, embarked at Deal, for France, before LISLE arrived. He will meet Lord LAUDERDALE on the road from Paris.
Lord LAUDERDALE's return, we think, must not have been expected by Ministers; or they would not have dispatched Ross so late as they did. It is probable either that his Lordship had received so pointed a refusal to his ultimate proposals as to induce him immediately to apply for his passports; or that BONAPARTE finding we were likely to settle our difference with Prussia, sent orders for his Lordship to quit France immediately.
The Ministerial Prints say, the negotiation is at an end, unless M. CHAMPAGNY, the French negotiator, was authorized to accede to his Lordship's terms. "It is probable," says the Morning Chronicle, "that Ministers unwilling to allow the discussion to be further protracted, instructed his Lordship to submit certain proposals, and to notify, that unless these were accepted, he should quit Paris within a given time." Ministers would not certainly have made the communication they did, yesterday, were not the Negotiation completely at an end, and no chance of Peace remaining.
Immediately on the arrival of LISLE, at Deal, Ad. HOLLOWAY sent expresses to the squadrons; and ordered Commodore OWEN, in the Clyde, to wait off Boulogne, for Lord LAUDERDALE; who may be expected in town on Sunday, at fatherfest.
This news gives us pleasure.—The negotiation was never popular.—The Present state of Europe does not admit of secure peace.—But the war was and is popular—never was more so.
Stocks.—3 per cents. 60 a 61—Omnium. 4.
A Hamburg mail has arrived.—All was in motion on the continent; and a Russian army of 90,000 men already assembled on the frontiers of Silesia (the eastern part of the Prussian dominions.)
BONAPARTE left Paris the 25th Sept. and was at Metz, on the Rhine, the 2d, October.
GERMANY. HAMBURG, SEPT. 27, 1806.
Movements of Prussia.
The King of Prussia has left Berlin to put himself at the head of his army!—On the 22d, he was at Magdeburg, on his way to his head quarters at Nauenburg, (in the centre of Saxony.) His Queen accompanied him; but she is to return immediately to Berlin. M. EA FOREST, the French Minister, has demanded passports to quit Prussia, but he received in answer, that he should receive them when General KNOBLES-DORFF, the Russian minister in Paris, received his. The Marquis LUCCHESINI had arrived in Prussia for Paris. The Prussian army is full of enthusiasm, and burns with desire to measure swords with the French.—A contest with France is very popular throughout all Prussia. The King's army, in the vicinity of Marselay, is computed at 70,000 infantry, and 10,000 cavalry.—His Majesty has Marshal MOLLENDORFF with him. Prince HOHENLOHE is in Silesia, with 20,000. Besides these there are separate armies under Gen. BLUCHER, KAESEBUTH and RUCHEL.
OF PRUSSIA.
Russia does not appear to be an idle spectator of the approaching quarrel between France and Prussia. The Russian troops are encamped; and magazines for their use are collecting at Warsaw, (in cederant Poland) where every preparation is made for an army entering upon a campaign.
OF SWEDEN.
The King of Sweden has left Pomerania for Schoen, which has occasioned a report that his zeal against BONAPARTE had decreased. But a letter from Elsinore of the 20th, says he will return in a fortnight.—The Swedish army remains in Pomerania and Lauenburgh.
It is reported, that the Elector of Hesse has declared himself neutral, and obtained the consent of Prussia in that course; but it is not probable.
The troops which lately broke up from the French camp at Zeist, and advanced to Nimeguen, (on the borders of Westphalia) have, in consequence of orders from Paris, retrograded, and reoccupied their former position.
SEPT. 30.—The French Minister, LA FOREST, has every thing in readiness at Nauenburg for his departure for France. Many of his German servants are discharged. The Prussian H. Q. will be transferred to Erf.
The Russians, Saxons and Hessians, are advancing, to act, it is said, offensively. The Marquis LUCCHESINI, from France, has declared, that the differences between Prussia and France, will yet be amicably terminated.
The whole French force in Germany is estimated at 170,000 men!
The Paris papers mention, that TALLEYRAND, MARET and Gen. CLARKE, the persons with whom Lord LAUDERDALE had most to do, have quitted Paris, to follow the Emperor to Metz—so that the tools of negotiation begin to scatter.
BRANNAN, SEPT. 16.—General ST. HILAIRE, with 9000 men, still occupy this city. Marshal SOULT's corps is reinforced to 35,000 men.
RATISBON, SEPT. 22.—SOULT's division will remove tomorrow for Ingolstadt. Other French corps are arriving. These movements are against Prussia.
PARIS, OCT. 5.
The Russian Minister, M. VON KNOBLES-DORFF, left this city in the night, between the 1st and 2d inst. and followed BONAPARTE to Metz, (or, as some of the maps spell it Mayence, situated at the confluence of the Mayn into the Rhine, and but a short distance from Hanau, the chief place of one of the king of Prussia's allies, the Elector of Hesse.)
When the French Minister at Berlin applied for his passports, he was informed that he should receive them from his Prussian Majesty, at headquarters. [These two articles indicate another attempt at negotiation before an appeal is made to the sword.]
LONDON, OCT. 7—9, 1806.
There are reports from Paris, that the French have suffered new defeats in Calabria; that MASSÉNA and REGNIER, were wounded; that the English had taken Salerno; and the insurgents Conenza.—This may be mere report.
Another Naval Victory.
Letter from Capt. Sir SAMUEL HOOD, to Admiral Sir CHARLES COTTON.
Centaur, at Sea, 26 Sept. 1806.
Sir, Yesterday morning, about one o'clock, I had the good fortune of falling in with a squadron of the enemy, standing to the westward; the squadron under my orders being then on the larboard tack, stretching in for Chasseron Light-House, six or seven leagues from us, the Revenge to windward and the Monarch to leeward on the look-out, the latter ship first making a signal for an enemy, when I soon discovered seven sail to the leeward of me; and considering them, in part, line of battle ships, the signal was made to form the line, and shortly after I observed them bearing up, making all sail, and running to the S. S. W. The signal was instantly made for a general chase, and the Monarch from her position and good sailing, was enabled to keep nearly within gun shot, a mile and a half or little more, a head of the Centaur, and the Mars on the starboard-bow. At day light we made them out five large French frigates, and two corvettes, one of which bearing a broad pendant; at five the Monarch fired a few chase shot; and at six the westernmost frigate hauled more to the westward, in pursuit of which I dispatched the Mars; and one frigate, with the two corvettes edged away to the southeast, the remaining three frigates keeping in close order, indicating the intention of supporting each other. At a quarter past ten the Monarch opened her starboard guns on the enemy, when a heavy cannonading commenced, and by the enemy's management of a running light they succeeded, in some measure, in crippling the Monarch's sails and rigging before the Centaur could get up. At eleven we got within the range of two, and opened our fire from the larboard guns, whilst the Monarch kept engaging the third ship, and about noon one of the two frigates struck, as did the one opposed to the Monarch shortly after. It was just before this I received a severe wound in my right arm, (since amputated, and doing well I hope) which obliged me to leave deck; the Mars previous to this, had succeeded in capturing her chase, and with her prize hauled towards the Centaur, in chase of, and firing at the French Commodore's ship, at three assisted in capturing her. Those ships of the enemy made an obstinate resistance, but the
result was, as may well be supposed, attended with much slaughter, being crowded with troops out of Rochefort the evening before. I cannot add too much praise to Captain Lee, of the Monarch, for his gallant and officer like conduct, but I am sorry to find his loss has been rather severe, the swell of the sea preventing, at times, the opening of the lower deck ports. To Capt. Lukin of the Mars, I feel thankful, for his steady conduct and attention; and have also to express my satisfaction at the endeavours of Captains Boyles, King, Sir John Gore and Masefield, in getting up with the enemy, although they could not succeed. The Revenge, from being well to windward, became considerably astern after bearing on. To Lieutenant Chase, First of the Centaur, I have to add my approbation of all his judicious conduct before and after my leaving the deck, and I also feel much pleased at the steady exertions of my officers, seamen, and marines. I enclose herewith, a return of the killed and wounded, and I also annex a list of the enemy's ships captured, and will make a return of their loss as soon as possible. I have the honor to be, &c.
SAM. HOOD.
[Here follow returns of the British killed and wounded, amounting to 9 killed, 32 wounded.—Mr. Dibben, midshipman of the Monarch, was the only officer killed.—Capt. Hood, K. B. Lt. Anderson, Mr. Duff, Mr. Greville, were wounded.]
Disceallany.
[The following is the conclusion of the communication over the signature of "DETECTOR," which a press of other matter compelled us to divide in our last ....]
FOR THE PORTLAND GAZETTE.
THE result of the late trial of Bartlett against Willis, has afforded the disinterested patriots, alias democrats, another opportunity to disseminate their falsehoods among the citizens of this district. They say Mr. Bartlett is a federalist....at the same time they assert this, they know a greater falsehood was never uttered by the father of lies. I ask, when or where Mr. B. ever acted with the federalists, or in what manner they ever supported him?....and the democrats are challenged to produce a single instance, in support of their declarations; on the other hand, he was invited into this district to aid in the holy work of revolutionizing the political opinions of the citizens, to serve the purposes of a few ambitious individuals in their unprincipled and private views. It was first intended that this town should be the place of residence for this schism-maker among democrats....to commence his "useful labors;" and the "patriots without reproach" were invited to meet at Mr. PAINE'S, to enter into an obligation to give him their undivided support....but a certain del one, remarkable for his saving knowledge, suspected there might be some afterclap in the business, refused to act....the consequence of this was, a young man was deputed to Saco, to recommend the m. who was about to become the oracle of the party to their brethren in that place, and the morals, the genius & habits of the citizens there, were considered as in a proper state to receive the blessings of democracy. To assist in the grand and patriotic work, the Argus was soon after established....and Mr. B. acted the worthy part of caterer for its columns....and in return, he was puffed, praised and recommended as a character deserving the highest honors. But democrats, notwithstanding all their pretended disinterestedness, are no misers of power and controul.
Bartlett and a certain rich family in his neighborhood, who are not very modest in helping their "dear selves" to a share in the "loaves and fishes," quarrelled for the honor of being the servant of the sovereign people in Congress, for the county of York.
The democrats, fearful that they had brought up a bird to pick their own eyes out, it was resolved to enter on the "unprofitable contest of trying which could do the other the most harm"—and the printer of the Argus, in this instance, acted the part of the serpent in the fable: for as soon as he was warmed by the fire of prosperity, he bit the hand which had raised him into notice; and like a true patriot of the present day, he enlisted on the strongest side.
Here opened a wide field for democratic warfare, and success attended that party which had the greatest dexterity and ability at lying and deceiving the people. But as the saying is, those who dance must pay the fiddler, so those who lie must and ought to be punished for it. And because these
gentry are made to answer for their evil deeds, they set up the yelp of "Persecution," which will undoubtedly be echoed from Maine to Georgia, and be repeated again and again that federalists are the authors of it....but the lie is too barefaced to be swallowed by the dupes of their own party....and tho' the farcical attachment of the Argus Office is laughed at by all parties, yet when an attempt is made to represent a decision, in one of our highest courts of justice, as persecution, it ought to be viewed as a daring outrage against the safety and tranquility of civilized society. As well might the thief cry persecution at the whipping-post.
With respect to the particular charges made in the Argus against Mr. B. I am not acquainted, but I have been correctly informed that they were false, scandalous and malicious, and proved to be so, in the presence of an impartial Court and Jury, who gave a verdict of 1500 Dollars, which I hope will operate as a salutary lesson to libelers.
DETECTOR.
Portland,
Monday, December 1, 1806.
Late and Important.
THE intelligence under our foreign head, this day, is highly interesting and important.
All prospect of peace between England and France, for the present, is at an end and there is every appearance that the Continent of Europe, will soon become (if not already) the theatre of wide extended war.
The forces of Russia, Prussia, and Sweden are in motion.
Letters from Dresden, state that the Emperor Alexander, the King of Prussia, the Arch Duke Charles, and Prince Constantine were expected to hold a conference in that city.
The Prussian army encamped on the Elbe, which is commanded by the King in person, consists of 70,000 infantry, and 16,000 cavalry—these were to be joined by the forces at Magdeburg; another army was stationed in Silesia, which was to be augmented, by 20,000 Saxons.
Bonaparte was at Metz, Oct. 2d. with an army of 170,000 men and had demanded of the states forming the confederation of the Rhine, to furnish their respective quotas of troops. By this compact France is required to provide 200,000, instead of which Bonaparte promises 300,000.—Orders have been issued that the troops be immediately transported to the Lower Rhine.
By a letter of September 22d, addressed by Bonaparte to his near brother the King of Holland, it appears, the refusal on the part of France, to permit any association in the present situation of the Hanseatic Towns, Hesse and Saxony was a great obstacle in the way of a general peace.
The Batavian forces have been ordered to march to the frontiers.
Capt. Gehrchrist, arrived at Boston from Rotterdam, brings Dutch accounts to Oct. 14. Capt. G. informs that a report was circulated at Rotterdam that Frederick, Napoleon and Louis were to hold a conference, and that hostilities would not take place between them.
A Paris paper of the 7th Oct. stated that Lord Lauderdale would not quit Paris till the 13th—but we do not think this Dutch news is entitled to much credit.
The capture of the four French frigates by Sir S. Hood's squadron was known at Paris.
Bonaparte some days previous to his departure from Paris, presented the Prussian Ambassador with four beautiful Hanoverian Horses. In his last interview, however, in which he delivered to the Corsican Emperor, the ultimatum of his Court, Bonaparte displayed that angry and intemperate folly, which, on some former occasions, has betrayed the weakness of his understanding. While the veteran Minister was repeating some of the requisitions of his Court, the Emperor, interrupted him, by saying; "Prussia is merely a watch; and whoever winds it up, will set it a going." True, Sir, rejoined the Minister, "thy country is a watch; but please to observe, it is a keepers, and if wound up, it will strike."
The crews of the Rochefort squadrons, lately captured, are said to have fought bravely; and to have maneuvered their ships in a masterly manner.
A decree of divorce has been formally published at Paris, of the marriage of Jerome Bonaparte and Miss Patterson, of Baltimore.
New capital crime. —The fate of the late unfortunate Mr. PALM, cannot be read without emotion by those whose bosoms glow with sentiments of patriotism, justice or humanity.
This man, a bookseller at Nuremberg, one of the free Imperial Cities of Germany, was suddenly seized by a detachment of French troops, dragged before a Military Commission assembled at Brannau, tried on a charge of having sold publications reflecting on the Government of Bonaparte, CONDEMNED AND EXECUTED.
Two hundred pounds have been raised in England, for his family.
The last accounts from Louisiana are favorable to the tranquility of that territory, on a proposition made by Gen. Wilkinson to Gov. Cordero commanding the Spanish forces, requiring that he should not occupy a descript of country
to be designated, the latter replied, that he did not consider himself authorized to enter into such a convention without instructions from the Governor General of Mexico, to whom he promised to write immediately. From the distance of this province an answer can scarcely be expected in less than a month.
MIRANDA.
The late accounts respecting this adventurer, are so vague and contradictory that it is impossible to say whether he is a conqueror, a prisoner, or a fugitive. The last mention made of him in the southern papers, pronounce the account of his late defeat to be an old story new vampire.
The election of Charter Officers in the City of Newyork, closed the 19th ult.—The Federal Ticket succeeded in five wards, the Lewisites in one and the Democrats in three—thus have the citizens of Newyork taken the government of the city out of the hands of democrats, who while in office, violated every principle of honor and honesty.—On the result of this election the Editor of the New-York Herald, of Nov. 14, makes the following remarks:
Federalism Triumphant.
Last evening the polls were closed after the most animated contest for the election of Charter Officers ever known in this city. The result was more auspicious to the cause of sound principles than the most sanguine had ventured to hope for. The Clinton party had confidently calculated on six wards of the nine—they got three! But in every one of these three, even their former majorities have decreased in a degree most truly alarming to office seekers.
We disclaim all desire of triumph over our opponents—we will not imitate them so much, but we should betray insincerity if we failed to offer our sincere congratulations to every friend to the welfare of this city, of this state, and of this country, on this event, not merely as a successful Charter Election but with a view to its consequences. It is a fact that the democrats have throughout acted under the impression, as expressed in one of their handbills, that this election would almost decide the next spring election in this city and state for governor and assembly; nay, they even acknowledged that it would probably be felt throughout the United States—And so it will—I tell them rejoice, for we have good cause for it.
A CRACKER.
Some shallow pated economists have supposed that the price of shewing would rise to an unusual pitch in New-York, in consequence of the enormous dimensions which our chop-fallen Jacobins would present to the chin-scraping gentry, after their defeat in the Charter Election. But this sudden elongation of Jacobin phizzes, is more than balanced by their having been lathered gratis, by their political adversaries, and they having shaved at the gin shops before they came to the polls.—Weekly Inquisitor.
CINCINNATI AT PENNSYLVANIA.
At a meeting of the Standing Committee Nov. 11, 1806, it was ordered, that the members of the Pennsylvania Society of Cincinnati wear escarpe on their left arm, and the ribband of the order, with a strip of black passing along the centre, for thirty days, as a testimony of their regret for the loss of Maj. Gen. Henry Knox, the late Vice-President General of the Society.—Soc. Gen.
At the last term of the Court of Common Pleas, held in this town, STEPHEN CHASE, Esq. was admitted as an Attorney.
Robert Wright, esq. is elected Governor of the state of Maryland.
Tobias E. Stanbury, has been unanimously chosen speaker of the house of delegates of Maryland; and John Johnson, Esq. Attorney-General, in the place of T. Mason, Esq. who is elected to the senate of that state.
Gabriel Wood, Esq. late his Britannic majesty's consul resident at Baltimore, has been appointed comptroller-general of the West-Indies.
Thorowgood Smith, Esq. is re-elected mayor of the city of Baltimore.
From York County, Nov. 7.
At our late Supreme Judicial Court, came on the trial of the action in which Joseph Bartlett, Esq. was plaintiff, and Nathaniel Willis, printer of the EASTERN ARGUS, was defendant.—for publishing twelve false and malicious libels against Bartlett.—The cause excited much expectation.—The action has been tried in the Common Pleas; verdict given in favor of Bartlett, for one hundred dollars.—But appealed from. The defendant, by leave of the Court, pleaded the general issue, and also special justifications to all the counts in the writ except four.—The defendant, I am told, failed in proving a single charge.—The jury returned a verdict for fifteen hundred dollars damages.—Council for Bartlett—Messrs. Prentiss, Melick, Nicholas Emery, and John Howland.—Council for Willis, Messrs. Samuel White, Esq. King and Jeremiah Bradbury. This may be denominated the triumph of injured reputation and moderate democracy over upstart tyranny, and dominant jacobinism. The trial has terminated with great credit to Bartlett, and covered his opponents with merited chagrin and contempt.—The money, it is said, will eventually come out of the pockets of the democratical majority of this district.

Died, In Germany the Hereditary Prince of Brunswick, brother to the English Prince of Wales. In England, Miss CHOLMONDELEY; she was riding in a barouche with the Princess of Wales, and Lady Sheffield, when the coach upset, and Miss C. dashed against a post, and killed outright. The Princess was much bruised but not dangerously. The Rt. Rev. Dr. HORSELEY, Bishop of St. Asaph.
In Savannah, THOMAS, eldest son of capt. Thomas Norton, of this town, A. 12. This sudden bereavement is doubly afflictive to his relatives and friends, who presaged much happiness from the amiable qualities he possessed. In Tolland, Conn. Dr. JEREMIAH WEST, aged 54—He was a surgeon in the American army of '76.
In Wiscasset, Mrs. SUSANNA FOLLANSBEE, relict of the late capt. Thomas F. and youngest daughter of Joseph Tinkham, Esq. late of Middleborough, in the county of Plymouth, aged 43. A truly exemplary character and a devout christian.—Mr. FRANCIS BLYTH, aged 33.
In Newcascow, on the 24th ult. in the 44th year of her age, Mrs. Mary, wife of Mr. Benjamin Pattengill. She was a woman of amiable virtues as attracted the love, good will and high esteem of all her acquaintance.—Mr. Edmund Merrill, aged 90. A man of unblamable conversation, a strict observer of gospel institutions; and who, in death, felt the support of a strong faith. Of this man it may be said, "He came to his grave in a full age."
In Sutton, County of Worcester, Solomon, aged 17 years, son of Isaac and Mary Bolster, of Paris. He endured a lingering disorder of almost two years, which he bore with great fortitude and resignation. In Windham, Miss Hannah Paine, aged 77, formerly of Eastham, county of Barnstable.
At Boothbay, on the 16th ult. Capt. Joseph Hodgkins, late of this town, aged 27. Much lamented by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. In him, the public has lost a worthy citizen, his relatives a respectable member of their family; and the unfortunate, one whose purse was always open for their relief.
Departed this life, in this town, on the night following the 23rd of Nov. Mrs. Mary, consort of Capt. William Goddard, and second daughter of the Hon. Woodbury Storer, Esquire; and on Wednesday following, her remains were committed to the earth, attended by a long and respectable train of mourning relatives and acquaintance. She died in the 22nd year of her age; and had been for some years a communicant in a congregational Church. She shone in the christian virtues without bigotry, and in religion without superstition. And willingly breathed out her soul to her God and Redeemer. Though her gain is infinite, her loss to her relatives and connections, in the prime of life, is lamentable and amazing.

MONEY.....the one thing needful.
YE nymphs and swains For Hymen's chains Who in that hope have tarried, Say we are rich, And make a pitch, Then, you shall soon be married. The wrinkled face Has magic grace, When pocket's full of money, Each feature glows Fresh as the rose, Distilling sweet as honey. These thousand pounds Buy pleasure grooms, And strew life's path with flowers; Virtue and birth, More vile than earth, Without these glittering powers. Beauty and fame, Your phiz and name Will be no commendation; 'Tis wealth alone Whose powers we own, A goddess of persuasion.
The only thing That you need bring, To win the sprightly lassies, Is bill to show A. B. doth owe Wonderous golden masses. Then come who will, Delight shall fill Our breasts.....if we have money; With him a wife, We'll spend our life, And think him sweet as honey.

Fullers Earth.
THE Fullers Earth exceeds all kinds of Soap, in cleansing of Woolens, Silks, and Cottons—extracts any kind of Grease, and leaves the color much clearer. It should be moderately dried in an oven, or over a small fire, mix with warm water made into a thin paste, and put on, and dried on the spots, and cleaned with a brush. Clothiers by using it in the following man- ner, will find it extremely beneficial. Take three pounds of dried Fullers Earth to a bucket of water, let it dissolve, wet the cloth in the usual way for scouring; let the cloth go into the Fulling stock one hour, put on your scouring water, and let it go until the water comes clear from the cloth. The cloth will then be clean and soft—and half the quantity of soap for fulling is necessary—The cloth will cover better on the Warp, and will be twenty per cent easier to finish and color. Silk Dyers, will have great opportunities of using it to advantage in their line of busi- ness. Hatters will find it will cleanse more ef- fectually than Soap and with a great saving of labor. Seamen may experience in the use of it in- conceivable advantages, inasmuch as in a scarcity of fresh water, Salt water may be a- dopted—Also, in sweetening and clarifying of water, necessary for matters of vessels in long voyages. Private Families by using the Fullers Earth will find that Baizes, Flannels, and Woolen Hose will be prevented from shrinking and the color kept bright. And that many kinds of Household Furniture may be cleaned with it better than with Soap, Rotten-stone or Whiting—washing floors and scouring paints. —Mixed with vinegar, it disperses pimples and pustules, checks inflammations, cures burns. —From a consideration of the extensive utili- ty of the Fullers Earth, the Proprietors of the Washington Mines, in Newfield, State of Massachusetts most respectfully solicit the en- couragement and patronage of their fellow citizens. Farmers will find it of great utility in as much that it serves to imbibe the tar in the extreme distemperatures of Sheep, and all the grease, oil, and other unctuous substances ne- cessarily used in the preparing, dressing, &c. of the wool—in healing lacerated wounds, galls on horses and oxen. N.B. Purchasers may be supplied by the box or smaller quantity at the Store of H. F. DUPEE, Fore-Street. Nov. 17.
