ANCIENT HISTORY
Translated from the Publiciste, for the Salem Gazette.
Some very bold conjectures have been lately advanced upon the Egyptian Zodiacs being differently disposed from ours; it has been supposed that this difference must necessarily be explained by the procession of the equinoxes. The suppositions that monuments have been preserved, we may say miraculously, for 15 and even 87,000 years, has been preferred to seeking, in antiquity, another reason for their peculiar situation. The celebrated Visconti being consulted upon the first of these Zodiacs, the plans of which have been bro't into France, has explained this phenomenon more naturally by a fact well known to all chronologers; that is that the intercalary day was never introduced into the sacred year of the Egyptians, nor into their civil, until the time of Augustus. Hence it results, that every fourth year would commence a day sooner, which, in 120 years, would make the difference of one sign, and in 1430 years, one complete year, while the period of procession on the equinox is 2,000 years. Citizen Visconti has detailed this explanation in a tract which he will soon give to the public.
He is now about examining the Zodiac since discovered, but it is infinitely more probable that their particular situations is founded on the period of 1430 years than of 72,000, which will reduce their antiquity in the same proportion.
It is to be observed in general, that history is carried back into the regions of fiction, in proportion as the real knowledge of history is lost. The present East Indies boasts an antiquity of some millions of years. In the time of Alexander they pretended to no more than 5000 or 6000 years; in the time of Diodorus Siculus, some Egyptian priests fixed at 23,000 years a certain epoch, which, in the time of Herodotus, they only carried up to 11,000: and it is very probable that, in the time of Moses, their pretensions were, in the same proportion, less.
BEWARE
Of Another Villain.
IN the company of those two millereants, who were advertised last week, in the Monitorial Department of the Balance, there is often seen a most notorious swindler, who gets his whole living by cheating and Satan-like, "is going to and fro, and walking up and down," "seeking whom he may devour." There are several peculiarities in the character and appearance of this rascal. Tho' he has cheated thousands of people even of their last shilling, he is always poor. He is a gaunt meagre looking scoundrel; which is probably owing to excessive night-watchings: for report says, that like a wolf, he prowls about during the whole night-season, and skulks into his den, as soon as the day light appears. His lips are thin, his nose is sharp, and his eager eyes are sunk deep into their sockets and have a most malignant squint. It is evident that he does not enjoy himself, as people usually do who get a livelihood by honest industry; for he frequently, all of a sudden, starts, strikes his hand against his pate, clenches his fists, bites his lips, stamps with his feet, and gnashes his teeth; while, in the mean time, his whole visage is overcast with such a horrible scowl, that he looks more like an infernal fury, than like a creature that is fit for human society. But all this notwithstanding, he is a most insinuating, inveigling puppy; intoasmuch that those who have suffered the most by his knavery, are still fond of his company: nay, they are seen to leave father and mother, wife and children, that they may associate with the wretch that has undone them. Tho' he is a low bred fellow, he has an itching fondness for the company of people in high life, and the favorable reception that they have too often given him, has proved the unhappy occasion of his being so much courted and caressed by others. The unfeeling culprit has meanness enough to pilfer the few pence from the pockets even of apprentice-boys, and of poor men, whose wives and children are suffering with want: but he discovers a peculiar attachment to young bucks, who have rich fathers, or have lately come into possession of a large patrimony. After he has once become familiar with lads of spirit belonging to this class, he seldom leaves them while they have a cent in their pockets, or a shirt to their backs. Finally, he seems to have no regard to party; for he is equally unscrupulous, whether the victim of his depredations be a federalist or democrat. A public edict has forbidden all innkeepers to harbour this notorious robber; but he still finds means to introduce himself into some of their houses, and to get secret lodgings in their apartments, to the great injury of society, as well as of individuals. It would be equally unpleasant and impracticable to go into a detail of all the tricks of this vile scoundrel, or to enumerate the wretched victims of his knavery. It has been remarked, that his intimate companions generally come to a miserable end. Many of them have committed violence on their own lives; many of them have died under the gallows; many others of the wretched group have been condemned to confinement for life in States' prisons; while the residue have been seen to pine out the last of their days in a condition of poverty and contempt. After this particular description of the villain, and seeing his face is but too well known in most parts of the country, it is almost needless to mention his name is GAMBLING.

PARIS, June 18.
Accounts received at Delhi, by way of Amritsar, state, that a general engagement had taken place between Zemaun Shah (sometimes called king of the Abdallies) and the son of his brother, Mahmood Shah. The day or place of this action is not mentioned, but it appears to be somewhere beyond Cabul. In the heat of the battle Zemaun Shah's generals plundered his camp, and joined the enemy; a total rout was the immediate consequence of this desertion. Zemaun Shah fled to Cabul, and being closely pursued by the victor, continued his flight, accompanied only by twenty-five horsemen, to Jalalabad. The victorious prince entered Cabul, and was received with acclamations by the inhabitants of all ranks, who complained grievously of the oppression they had suffered under the reign of Zemaun Shah. Having assured them of redress & protection, and bestowed the khelat [a shawl] on the vizier on the son of Manummud Khan, he dispatched Khanazad Khan and Jehangir Shah, with four dultahs [a dultah is 10,000 of horse], in pursuit of the fugitives. They came up with Zemaun Shah on the 25th of Maharrum (June 6) and took him prisoner, with his vizier, Wussad Khan, their females and baggage. The victor has placed his own troops in all the garrisons of Cabul and Peshawur, and yakeels [ambassadors] from the chiefs of Cashmeer and Rosafgurh have waited on him with offers of submission.

LONDON, June 19.
We learn from the Hague, that the Batavian council of state has issued the expected proclamation for revoking the laws in force against British merchandise, and permitting the importation of our manufactures into the ports of the republic.
Our private correspondence from Hamburg of the 11th instant, contains the following important article:
"The last letters from Berlin, of the 8th inst. announce, that count Schultenburgh Kehnert, the Prussian minister of state, is speedily to set out from that city for Westphalia and Lower Saxony, whither a body of troops of upwards of 50,000 men, commanded by several generals, are to accompany him. His excellency is appointed to receive the homage and allegiance of the inhabitants of Hildesheim, Paderborn, Westphalia, and the districts of Eichstet and Erfurt, which the Prussian army is to take possession of by virtue of the treaty of Lunéville, & with the concurrence and approbation of Bonaparte. A considerable train of heavy and light artillery will accompany these troops, who are to have recourse to force, in case of any resistance or refusal of submission. The king of Prussia will only consent to the union of the bishopric of Osnaburgh with the Electorate of Hanover. Count Schultenburgh was only waiting for the return of a courier from his Prussian majesty, with final instructions."
Our Parisian correspondent writes, that the most strange revolution has taken place in the matter of religion. In less than 15 days there were no less than 10,000 communicants, or persons taking the sacrament for the first time, and amongst these the majority were more than 30 years of age. The presses of Paris are now literally groaning, in consequence of this revolution, under the pressure of catechisms, prayers, and other spiritual books!
Accounts from Constantinople, of the 1st of May, confirm the former reports of the distracted state of Egypt. The beys are in open insurrection, and the expulsion of the Turks does not appear to be a very improbable event.
A letter from Bengal says, the country of Cooch Bahar exhibits a truly miserable appearance. The lower ranks, without scruple dispose of their children for slaves to any purchaser, and that too for a very trifling consideration.
June 22.
The disturbances at Warsaw, in consequence of the appearance of prince Subow, are said to have produced a great sensation throughout Germany. Subow, as soon as his arrival was known, was challenged by an old Polish general of the name of Gielgalt, who wished to avenge the melancholy fate of his country, Subow having been the adviser of the partition of Poland, when in power in the Russian court. Subow declined accepting the challenge on such a ground; upon which Gielgalt challenged him for personal injuries he had sustained when at St. Petersburg. In the mean time this correspondence became public, and a party of young Polesders beset the house of Subow, which was only saved by the interference of the Prussian troops. Subow withdrew from the city, but previously engaged to fight at Vienna on the 10th of June, where he is engaged to fight another duel also. He is arrived at Vienna, followed by Gielgalt.
By the latest advices from Egypt, we learn that the British troops at Alexandria, had encamped before that city, where the plague was making great ravages. This terrible scourge had likewise manifested itself at Smyrna, and great fears were prevailing left it should even reach Constantinople.
Within the space of two months, forty-seven suicides have been committed at Vienne, and it is said to be in contemplation to order
that the dead bodies of those who shall kill themselves, shall be hung on a gallows by the public executioner, in order to deter others from the commission of this desperate act.
WHEREAS, by a law of Congress passed on the 26th day of April 1802, it was enacted, "That it shall be the duty of the Secretary of War to receive claims to lands for military services, and claims for duplicates of warrants issued from his office, or from the land office of Virginia, or of plats and certificates of surveys founded on such warrants, suggested to have been lost or destroyed; until the first day of January next, and no longer; and immediately thereafter to report the same to Congress, designating the number of claims of each description, with his opinion thereon."
Notice is hereby given, To all persons claiming lands for military services, that they must lodge in this office, prior to the first day of January next, documents to prove the validity of their claims.
Commissioned officers, surgeons and surgeon's mates, or their legal representatives must produce evidence to prove that they served in the army of the United States to the end of the war, or that they were deranged by a resolution of Congress, which did not bar their claim to military bounty lands. It will also be necessary for the representatives of officers &c. killed in the service to produce evidence to prove that the person was "slain by the enemy."
Non-commissioned officers, musicians and privates, or their legal representatives must produce evidence to prove, that they enlisted to serve in the army of the United States during the war, and that they actually served until the end of said war. It will also be necessary for the representatives of non-commissioned officers &c. who were enlisted during the war and were killed in the service, to produce evidence to prove that they were "slain by the enemy."

In a late London paper is the following extract of a letter from Mr. Jefferson, to Thomas Paine, about which so much has been said:
"You expressed a wish in your letter to return to America by a national ship; Mr. Dawson, who brings over the treaty, and who will present you this letter, is charged with orders to the Capt. of the Maryland to receive and to accommodate you back, if you can be ready to depart at such a short warning. You will, in general, find us returned to sentiments worthy of former times; in these it will be your glory to have steadily laboured, and with as much effect as any man living. That you may live long to continue your useful labours, and reap the reward in the thankfulness of nations, is my sincere prayer.—Accept the assurance of my high esteem and affectionate attachment."

The public mind has been considerably agitated at New-York, in consequence of the arrival at that port of three French ships of war, with between 7 and 800 blacks, taken from Guadaloupe.—It is said the poor wretches are almost in a state of starvation; and that application has been made for supplies, to be paid for in bills drawn on the first consul. The independent companies have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness. After enumerating sundry absurd reports, the New-York paper says, "The fact is, we are informed, that some disposition was discovered on the part of the blacks, to rise and force a landing.—This circumstance was communicated to the mayor of the city, who, no doubt, thought proper, in case of such an attempt, to have the military in readiness, to oppose the landing on our shores of a set of men so much to be dreaded—men inured to plunder, and familiar with the most bloody massacres—and ripe for every species of cruelty."

IN consequence of sundry Sectarian objections to the fundamental principles of that Religion which I believe to be genuine Christianity, I purpose, if God's will, to deliver a discourse at the Theatre in Lexington, on Sunday next, at 4 o'clock P.

ABEL M. SARGENT. Lexington, 2d Sept. 1802.
To the Editor of the Evening Post.
New-York, August 10, 1802.
Sir, Finding that a story long since propagated under circumstances which it was expected would soon consign it to oblivion, (and by which I have been complimented at the expense of Generals Washington and La Fayette) has of late been revived, and has acquired a degree of importance by being repeated in different publications as well in Europe as
in America, it becomes a duty to counteract its currency and influence by an explicit disavowal.
The story imports in substance, that General La Fayette, with the approbation or connivance of General Washington, ordered me, as the Officer who was to command the attack on a British redoubt, in the course of the siege of York Town, to put to death all those of the enemy who should happen to be taken in the redoubt; and that through motives of humanity I forbore to execute the order.
Positively and unequivocally I declare, that no such nor similar order, nor any intimation nor hint resembling it, was ever by me received or understood to have been given.
It is needless to enter into an explanation of some occurrences on the occasion alluded to which may be conjectured to have given rise to the calumny. It is enough to say that they were entirely unconnected with any act of either of the Generals who have been accused. With esteem, I am, Sir, your obedient servant.
A. HAMILTON.
NEW-YORK, August 17. A LITTLE SQUALLY.—A letter under date of July 6th, just received from an American gentleman in Cadiz, by a respectable mercantile house of this city, states, "that the Emperor of Morocco on the 25th of June ordered the American Consul out of his dominions, and proclaimed WAR against the United States; that the Tripolitans have lately captured two American vessels and one Swede, that they and the Moors are arming with great spirit, and if our government do not send several ships of war there soon, our commerce with the Mediterranean must be abandoned; finally, that commodore Morris, aware of the danger is coming here to convey a number of our vessels to the westward."
BALTIMORE, August 19.
In consequence of recent intelligence, the President has ordered the frigate New-York to be immediately prepared for sea, and to proceed to the Mediterranean on a cruise. Captain James Barron is appointed to the command. The General Greene, which was to have failed in the early part of the month, will follow in a few weeks (with cannon and other presents to the emperor of Morocco,) but not with her full complement of men or guns.
From the latest information, it is apprehended that both the emperor of Morocco and the dey of Algiers, have declared war against the United States. It is therefore thought proper to delay the departure of the General Greene, and send the New-York to protect our commerce. (Wash. Fed.)
Extract of a letter dated "Washington, August 17th 1802."
"Sir "A paragraph has appeared in the Washington Federalist, stating, that from the latest information, it is apprehended that both the Emperor of Morocco and Dey of Algiers, have declared War against the United States. Such publications alarm the public mind excessively; not only raise the premium of insurance, but cause great uneasiness to those who may have friends or property in the Mediterranean. They also tend to stop expeditions preparing for that sea. It is true that the frigate New-York is manning with intent to join the squadron, under Commodore Morris; but it is not true that there is any appearance of danger from Algiers; on the contrary, the conduct of that regency is of the most friendly kind. The Dey can have no pretext for War, there being nothing due to him from the United States."
"Some apprehensions are entertained with respect to Morocco. The Emperor demanded from Commodore Dale & the Swedish admiral, permission to send two ships laden with wheat for Tripoli, and for his men to take possession of the Tripolitan ship blockaded in Gibraltar, and to carry her to one of his ports. This demand was refused by both commanders; the Emperor about the same time reminded Mr. Simpson, the American Consul, that the American Government had promised 3 years past, to supply him with 100 gun carriages, with which they had never complied. On being refused, the Emperor asked passports for his two ships to proceed with their cargoes of wheat to Tunis; this request was, I believe assented to. Early in June the Emperor renewed the former demand for his two ships to proceed to Tripoli with wheat; and also that the Tripolitan ship of war should be delivered to his people, and a passport given permitting her to proceed to Tripoli; this was of course refused. Commodore Morris had gone over to Tangiers to adjust the subject. Should Morocco go to war, we shall have for the protection of our commerce on the spot, the Chesapeake and Adams. The Constellation and four Swedish ships, will completely blockade Tripoli, and it is expected compel that regency to peace. The New-York will proceed immediately and join the commodore. The Emperor's maritime force is not considered of very great importance; the situation of his ports on the Atlantic alone make him dangerous. It is hoped that when he receives the gun carriages promised him, that he will not persist in such unreasonable demands. Commodore Morris meant to order the Boston and the schooner to join him immediately."

SACRED TO THE MUSES.  INVOCATION TO DESPAIR. DESPAIR, appear in all thy forms, Rush on 'midst dark, impending storms, And overspread the scene; The mind, immut'd in deepest gloom, Sees pleasure's sun retire at noon, Nor aught of joy can glean.
In vain the beauteous sun displays Its shining beams, its splendid rays— The heart no solace knows: In vain the silver moon, at night, Illumes the orbit with her light, For grief incessant flows.
In vain I turn my wearied eye Around the globe, towards the sky, In search of fancied bliss; No gladdening prospect cheers my soul; Despair, I hear thy billows roll, I hear thy furious hiss.
ANECDOTE.
A few days ago a sailor was taken up in Southwark, by a constable, for galloping through one of the streets, in violation of an ordinance passed by the commissioners. When brought before, 'Squire'—he insisted that the charge made by the constable was false; that his horse could not gallop. The constable had no evidence to prove the fact. The sailor proposed to him to mount the horse and convince himself of the truth of what he, had asserted. The constable delirious of proving the charge against the sailor, mounted the horse, and began to whip and spur; the horse sprung off, and ran for some distance before the constable could stop him. A crowd by this time had assembled around the Magistrate's door. The constable returned, Jack steps up and accosted. "D—n my eyes Mr. Constable, but you have galloped the horse through the street contrary to law, and here are the witnesses," pointing to those around him, "who can prove the fact, and I insist on you paying the fine." The Magistrate was compelled to fulfil his duty, and the poor Constable was mulct.
