An act in addition to an act entitled "An act describing the duty and power of Coroners." Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives, in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, That every coroner, within the county for which he is appointed, shall, after the return of an inquisition of the jury, upon the view of a dead body of any stranger, not belonging to this Commonwealth, bury said body in a decent manner; and the expenses thereof, together with all the expenses of said inquisition and coroner's fees, shall be paid to such coroner out of the treasury of this Commonwealth, an account of such expenses being first examined and allowed by the General Court, in the same manner that accounts for state paupers are allowed: And the same certificate shall be required from the selectmen or overseers of the poor of the town where such stranger was found dead, as if the said stranger were taken sick in such town, or became unable to support himself. March 7, 1806.—By the Governor approved, CALEB STRONG.
Political.
For the PORTLAND GAZETTE . "THE republican "papers continue to assert the most daring falsehoods" to keep the truth from the people, and to support their patrons in power: and this they will do as long as the people will surrender their judgment and reason to blind prejudice and a mistaken view of their true and permanent interest. Because the men in power do not lay new taxes on articles by the consumption of which they daily feel their money going out of their pockets, they seem to think all things are going on well. Can any thing be more directly in the face of truth than to assert as all the jacobin papers do over and over again, that France by her agents has not interfered in our attempts to settle the existing disputes with Spain ; and plainly intimated to the Secretary of State that the disputes would not be adjusted unless we gave them money? and that the Secretary, on the part of administration, in language plainly understood, and as clearly as the administration dare to speak on a subject of this kind, said, to one or more of the members of Congress, that it would be more advantageous for the United States to contribute a sum of money to France than to persevere in asserting our rights with Spain, and thereby risk against us, an active operation of France; or, in other words, that by giving money to France, we should have our disputes amicably compromised with Spain?
Now the hireling papers, who receive much of their support from the federal administration, think to satisfy the people by publishing that two millions of specie have not been shipped off in the Hornet , as a tribute to France. And the little contemptible, ignorant editor of the National Intelligencer , declares that no money has been directly or indirectly demanded by France of the United States—none has been offered, or is now intended to be offered to France. Now contrast this with the declaration of the independent John Randolph, the boasted champion and leader of the republican party in Congress; what he says there publicly, with all the responsibility of a member of the national legislature in the face of all the friends of the administration, is intitled to more credit than any thing hitherto published by the hireling printers. If what he openly asserted was not true, why was it not contradicted? He was fair and honest; he told where he got his information; he kept nothing in the dark; he related a conversation he had held with the secretary of state. Application might have been made to him to know the certainty of what he declared, if there had been any doubt of its correctness: Madison too must immediately have heard of Randolph's declaration on the floor of the house, and has he ever contradicted it? or can any man in his senses, believe that he would not have denied it, if what
Randolph laid as coming from so responsible an officer as the secretary of state, had not been true? Neither Jefferson or Madison has ever denied a word of what Randolph laid in the house of representatives, respecting the interference of France with Spain in her settlement of disputes with this country, and of the necessity there was for us to give money to France, to permit the settlement to go on.
Now the Register , the Chronicle and Argus , may exclaim—"Tribute to France! Good God!" until they have stunned themselves and their rulers; but such is the fact, and this is the evidence on which it rests.—With this evidence before the public, they may continue to demand, who is there so debased that to consent to pay tribute to France or England? and every candid man will answer, on the evidence at present before the public, he believes that the federal administration has consented, and are now in the act of paying tribute to France. And if we look back to former times we shall find this is not the first time the men who make up the administration and lead the republican party, have contemplated paying tribute to France. When Talleyrand demanded money of Pinckney, Marshall and Gerry, under the federal administration, as a preliminary to a settlement of disputes between France and America, the leaders of the republican faction of that day, most of whom are now either in, or connected with the present administration, were indignant at the federal party that the money was not granted. The dastardly fools said then as they do now, why we had better pay money than, by contending for our right, hazard a war with our sister republic! Had they been in power at that time, they would have paid tribute; they are now in power, and let the public judge on the evidence, if they have not bowed their knee to Baal, and sent money as tribute to France.
"If there is a man in the United States, so mean spirited, so cowardly, so lost to the honor of his country, let him be pointed out to "his fellow-citizens." This is some of the contemptible bluff of modern republicanism; but Randolph has pointed out the very men who are for paying tribute to France, and they have not, they dare not deny it. Indeed every republican who voted to conceal the president's message, and for the two millions, that have gone to France, will be considered as aiding France, with a tribute. "If truth is truth, if records do not lie"—"if facts speak for themselves, it will be found that what is said in the federal papers on the subject of tribute to France is substantially proved!"
"What has been done?" ask the hirelings—"Why the Floridas are to be purchased, and two millions have been appropriated for that purpose, and, as we understand, (mark that) have been remitted in bills to Amsterdam, and not to Paris. Not a dollar in specie has been sent to Europe in the Hornet , or "any other vessel." Contemptible evasion of the truth. The federal papers say that millions of dollars have gone, or voted by Congress as tribute to France. The hirelings under administration, swagger away and declare, not a dollar in specie has gone to Europe in the Hornet ; but clearly admit that millions have gone out in bills. Now of what consequence is it to the people, whether the tribute is paid in specie or in bills; in either case it must finally come out of our pockets.
What do these dupes mean by a purchase of the Floridas? are they ignorant that we have already purchased and paid for West-Florida , and that it has long since been incorporated by congress and the president into a collection district: an hungry republican has been appointed a collector there, and by means of that purchase, a number of republicans have been provided for?

But the farmer pay tribute to his neighbor when he buys a vacant lot of ground contiguous to his farm, and which is necessary for his accommodation? ask the hirelings—certainly it does if he pays for it a second and third time, rather than defend his title. Thus every evasion is adopted by the republicans, to deceive the people; but it is not strange that those who got into power by lying and libeling, should now lie and deceive to keep themselves in their places. Truth will blast their views. Nequisset, May 20.
For the Portland Gazette.
CAUCUS.—No. 2.
THE "Little Argus" said, "on Saturday evening a federal caucus was held." Was it a "federal" caucus? why then did the democrats attend? Their answer will be seen by and by. It was indeed called by the federalists, and who that has a sense of decency and propriety could have expected that any person who was not invited would have intruded themselves into their assembly; but this is a fact, and the "Little Argus" has proclaimed it. "Some of your friends attended." The "Little Argus" was addressed to "REPUBLICANS," and it is well known that they have assumed this term as exclusively applicable to their sect, although the term may with (at least) as much propriety be applied to federalists; but the democrats having converted it to their own use, and many federalists inconsiderately using it when speaking of them, they claim it for themselves, discard that of federalist, notwithstanding the great man Jefferson has said, "we are all federalists, we are all republicans," and have induced the true republicans to distinguish themselves from the democrats by prefixing the word federal. The invitation to the caucus was directed to the federal republicans; and although some of the printed notices fell into the hands of democrats, they could not mistake the meaning of it—more especially as those only who were "friends to the administration of Washington and Adams—and to that of governor Strong," were requested to attend but to proceed to the account of the caucus.
"Some of your friends," says he, "attended, expecting, as has before been the case, your government, your principles and your conduct would have been misrepresented and calumniated, and if they had been, those aspersions would not have gone unanswered." However luminous the evidence of the numerous facts that have been alleged against the beloved person who is at the head of their government, or against his officers and friends, it has now eight in the minds of those who take the lead in supporting his measures, or if it has, they pretend it has not; and they make the people, as far as their influence extends, believe that those facts are federal lies. Thus is truth perverted—thus are the misinformed people prejudiced against federal men and federal measures—and thus is supported an administration that has brought disgrace upon the country, and exposed it to the evils which are impending, in dark clouds over our political horizon.
"But," the Argus goes on, "your NUMBERS INTIMIDATED your enemies. They DARE NOT give a challenge; but rather BEGGED your forbearance." How dare you federalists stand—how dare you vote in presence of these mighty men—why did you not precipitately retreat from the danger you were exposed to when you saw them assembled ready to oppose you? Was it not rash to venture upon the business you were called to transact—while they were fiercely glaring you in the face? but you accomplished the business without being attacked—and you found that they had not courage to prevent you—they had not courage, (although they attempted it before you all attended to choose a moderator) they patiently permitted you to make the choice—and suffered you, when you had done what you wished to do, to come off unhurt.
What next follows is a repeated boast of their majority; but it is, so nausome I fear, I should want an emetic, if I was to examine it. I hasten therefore to the following expression, viz.—that they "had no idea of opposition or disturbance, unless it was provoked by federal slander." (Here it is evident they intended an opposition and disturbance, if the ruinous conduct of the present adminis-
tration, had been exposed. This however, founded on the basis of well known truth, they would call, as they always have done, federal slander ; but as it was not necessary to make such expositions, the federalists left them to their own reflections.
As the whole of this precious "little morsel" appeared last Monday in this Gazette, I will not as I intended, recite every part of it. It is indeed such a weak and childish thing, that I consider it a waste of time and paper to notice it, so particularly as I might. I refer the reader to the piece at large, and will pass on to the following question, which is therein stated: "Are those federal republicans," says the writer, "who dislike a man because he approves of a government chosen by nine-tenths of the people?" I answer, no federal republican dislikes a man because he approved of Mr. Jefferson's election—which is what I suppose the writer meant, for he adds, "Mr. Jefferson was chosen by 162, to 147," but if there be such dislike of any man, it is because he approves of the measures of the present administration. But what produced such a majority? false publications—deceitful speeches of leading delinquent men—enemies of the constitution—base defamers of Washington and Adams—corrupt practices—scandalous reports of the inventions and designs of federalists, that their aim is to establish a monarchical government, &c. but more of this hereafter.

LONDON, APRIL 6, 1806.
RUPTURE WITH PRUSSIA.
A Council was yesterday held at the Queen's House, which his Majesty came purposely to town to attend.—The whole of the Cabinet Ministers were present, except Earl Spencer, who is confined by the gout, when his Majesty signed an order for laying an embargo on all Prussian vessels in the different ports in the kingdom.—Orders were in consequence forwarded from the Admiralty to the several Admirals at the Ports.—The orders previously despatched to the same effect, as we have already stated, were adopted and sent off by the discretionary powers entrusted to Ministers, and his Majesty's signature was necessary to confer on the measure all the formality of state proceedings.
The following is the Order which appeared in last night's Gazette on this important subject: At the Court at the Queen's Palace the 5th of April, 1806, present, the King's most excellent majesty in Council.
Whereas his Majesty has received advice that his Majesty the King of Prussia has taken possession of various parts of the Electorate of Hanover, and other dominions belonging to his Majesty, in a forcible and hostile manner; and has also notified that all British ships shall be excluded from the ports of the Prussian dominions, and from certain other ports in the north of Europe and not suffered to enter or trade therewith, in violation of the just rights and interests of his Majesty and his dominions, and contrary to the established law and practice of nations in amity with each other; his Majesty, with the advice of his Privy Council is thereupon pleased to order and it is hereby ordered, that no ships or vessels belonging to any of his Majesty's subjects be permitted to enter and clear out for any of the ports of Prussia until further orders. And his Majesty is further pleased to order, that a general embargo or stop be made of all Prussian ships and vessels whatsoever, now within, or which hereafter shall come into any of the ports, harbours, or roads within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, together with all persons and effects on board the said ships and vessels; but that the utmost care be taken for the preservation of all and every part of the cargoes on board any of the said ships and vessels, so that no damage or embezzlement whatever be sustained; And the right honorable the lords commissioners of his Majesty's treasury, the lords commissioners of the admiralty, and the lord wardens of the cinque-ports, are to give the necessary directions herein, as to them may respectively appertain. STEPH. COTTRELL.
EXPRESS FROM HOLLAND.
Englishman-Office, 2 o'clock, A. M.
We stop the press to announce the arrival of an express with intelligence of the highest importance from Holland. By this conveyance we learn that Hamburg, Lubeck, Bremen, Embden, &c. have been all shut against the trade of Great Britain. Letters received by several respectable persons in the city, concur in this statement. We have been favored with a perusal of some from Holland of so recent a date as last Thursday. They assert that the king of Prussia had marched 20,000 men into Hamburg, and had shut its port against England; the same measures had been pursued with respect to Bremen and Embden. These letters also state that a Prussian army has been marched through Holstein, for the purpose of shutting up the Sound against our trade.
LONDON, APRIL 7, 1806.
Yesterday eight vessels arrived in the river from Hamburg. They form part of a fleet of 26 sail of British vessels which were lying at Hamburg. On Sunday the 30th ult. about four o'clock in the afternoon, a sudden and peremptory order was communicated from the British Vice Consul, desiring them to quit that place in twelve hours, and the Elbe without delay. This intimation was given in consequence of an official notice by the Prussian Consul, declaring that all the ports of the Prussian dominions, and all other ports in the North of Europe, where his Prussian Majesty possesses any control, were to be shut against British vessels and British manufactures.
The consternation which this intelligence excited, at Hamburg may be conceived. The boom which used every night to be shut, was on this occasion left open. Some ships failed in ballast only, one without ballast; some with all the cargoes they had carried out, others half unladen. So pressing was the Order that the officer of his Majesty's sloop Spy, which, in company with a brig cutter, had gone up the Elbe as far as Stradt, to protect the shipping coming down, declared that any vessel left behind, after the given time, he must burn.
About a fortnight ago 2000 Prussian troops with a large train of heavy artillery, passed down the Elbe for Stadt and Cuxhaven. On Monday last the masters of some of the British vessels landed at Cuxhaven, where the Prussians are employed in raising two formidable batteries, each of 25 pieces of heavy ordnance. On Tuesday they wished again to go on shore, but were refused permission by the commander of the Spy sloop.
Great apprehensions were entertained at Hamburg that all the British property will be confiscated. It is stated that the quantity of British property now there is not to be considerable as it was lately. The British subjects are apprehensive for their personal safety.
Some Prussian ships with troops and heavy artillery on board, have appeared before Hamburg, to protect her, as the vulture does the lamb.
The Russian troops, in Poland, so far from evacuating that place, are on the contrary daily augmenting their numbers; and accounts state that throughout the Russian frontiers, the roads are covered with artillery, ammunition waggons and troops, that an immense army was collected on the frontier; and that the recruiting in the interior country, was going on without interruption.
The duke of Sussex (the 6th son of his majesty) it is said will go out governor general of Jamaica.
The grounds of difference between the British government and the United States of America have, we understand, engaged the particular attention of ministers; and according to report, the hon. David Erskine, son of the lord chancellor, is to be sent to that country upon a special mission.
The grand military fete at Paris, it is reported is to be postponed to the end of May or beginning of June, in consequence of the detention of the troops in Germany, beyond the expected period. The Boulevards are to be the principal scene of festivity, and there upwards of 200,000 men are to be feasted for eight days and nights.
The political cooks are very anxious to know what is to be the fate of the diet of Ratisbon.

RICHMOND, MAY 10, 1806.
RUMOR OF WAR
A letter from Capt. Bowman, of the U. S. army, dated Natchitoches, 18th March, 1806, says, "An officer came in on the evening of the 14th inst. with dispatches from the Governor General at St. Antoine—he was halted at our picket, and not permitted to enter the fort or town; and early next morning he received his answer and set out immediately. The same day, at 3 o'clock, Capt. Johnson marched with Lieut. Smith, ensign Hatcher and sixty-five men, towards the Sabine; this movement was determined on in consequence of information which cannot be doubted, that the Spaniards had reinforced at Nacogdoches, to upwards of 400 cavalry, and were marching to resume the positions they were so lately removed from by our troops. We have not heard of their meeting yet, but calculated that they will this day, and it appears that an engagement is unavoidable: They are greatly superior in numbers, therefore it would be premature to risk an opinion as to the result. Some Americans have been these two days trying to bring about a meeting to volunteer their services for immediate defence, and they will be furnished with arms from the public magazines."
PHILADELPHIA, MAY 10.
ST. DOMINGO.
We learn, from a gentleman who arrived in this city a day or two ago, from St. Domingo, that, at the time of his departure, there were very general movements among the subjects of the black emperor Dessalines.—What the actual cause of this was he did not understand, but it was said that some advices had been received by way of Jamaica, that taught the blacks to expect a speedy attack. The consequence of these advices were, that Dessalines was putting the black army into an active organization for war; all the money, valuable property and goods were removed to the mountainous country in the interior, and all the white inhabitants were ordered to remove from the sea coast.
During the recent celebration of some fete a French family had made its escape from the Cape, but being soon after missed by Gen. Christophe, he attributed the circumstance to the connivance of some Americans; in consequence, Christophe ordered the commanders and crews of all the American vessels at the Cape to be seized and put in close confinement, threatening to shoot or hang them all. Upon an investigation, however, it appeared that the Americans had not aided the escape of the fugitives, who had, in fact, succeeded in making the French lines at the city of St. Domingo. The Americans were then released.
A gentleman of this city is said to be Dessalines' correspondent and agent. It was mentioned at the Cape, by persons who had intercourse at the black court, that Dessalines had purchased an estate in Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, as a retreat in the event of an imperial bouleversement.
NEW-YORK, MAY 17, 1806.
Mr. John Nevin, on Thursday night, detected Hugh O'Dougherty in the act of robbing his house, No. 28, Lumber Street, and by the greatest exertions recovered his watch, which he had pocketed. O'Dougherty was secured by Mr. Nevin, and carried before Alderman Montagnie. His excuse was, that he got drunk while engaged in preparing the Ox for the democratic feast, which was given yesterday:
but the Alderman not thinking it substantial committed him for trial.
BOSTON, MAY 22.
British war with Algiers, Capt. Haff, arrived at New-York, from Gibraltar, informs, that a report was current at that place, on the 3d April, that Sir Sidney Smith had been despatched, to Algiers for the purpose of bombarding that city.
The last Norfolk paper contains the following article:—From a respectable source, we learn that the Emperor of the French is in treaty with Portugal, upon a subject of the first magnitude. When we say that he is treating with Portugal we mean in appearance only, because it is not in the power of Portugal to resist his demands. It is stated that Portugal is to cede Goa to France in consideration of which Spain is to cede the Province of Gallicia to Portugal, and thereby give Portugal a sea coast from Cape St. Vincent, the south west promontory of Portugal to Cape Ortegal, the northern promontary of Spain.
It is mentioned in a Dutch paper, that Mr. Armstrong, our late extraordinary, Minister in Paris, was in Holland to take passage for the U. States.—We hope he has been recalled by the President.—Mr. Irving, Mr. Bowdoin's Secretary of Legation, had been on a visit to London from Madrid; but whether on public or private business was not said.
NAVAL AFFAIRS.
Fifteen French ships of the line, six frigates, and four corvettes, escaped out of Brest, the 13th December. At sea they separated.—One squadron, supposed for the East Indies. Six sail of the line, two frigates and a corvette steered for the West Indies, arrived off St. Domingo the 19th January, landed 1,800 troops; & on the 5th February were all (excepting the two frigates and corvette) taken by Admiral Duckworth.
Five British squadrons are in search of the French, commanded by Duckworth, Lewis, Warren, Strachan, and Thomborough—all dashing of the first class. What vigilance, zeal and courage can accomplish, will be accomplished by them.
New-York Election. —The House of assembly of the State of New-York is composed of 100 members. Of those Elected for the next term of the Legislature, 41 are Levellites, 43 Clintonians, and 19 Federalists.

For these purposes they are empowered to send for persons, papers and records—pass publick censures—order impeachments—recommend to the Legislature the repealing of Laws which they deem unconstitutional—They may also call a convention for the purpose of amending the constitution, &c. Their power continues for one year. The following gentlemen are chosen for the present term:—Moses Robinson, Mark Richards, James Tarbox, Udney Hay, William Hunter, Samuel Huntington, Thomas Graft, Ezra Butler, John Noyes, Apollos Austin, Loyal Case, Isaiah Fiske, Isaac Clark.
RICHMOND, APRIL 25.
2,000,000 DOLLARS.
Extract of a letter from the Hon. JAMES L. GARNETT, a democratic Member of Congress, to his constituents.
"It had frequently been declared on the floor of congress, and none had denied it—that France had threatened us with war, if we came to a rupture with Spain—that Spain was not averse to an accommodation of our differences, but that France would not suffer her to make it, unless money was used as the means of propitiation; that France had intimated her willingness to interfere upon this condition, and had given assurances, that Spain should do what we wished, on these terms.—Under these circumstances we contended, that whether gentlemen were governed by fear of France;

or really preferred purchasing the Floridas, to an exchange of territory, (which was the only thing we could consent to Spain,) if money was thus appropriated, it would and must be understood, not only by France, but by the world, as the effect of intimidation—and that the necessary consequence of such a belief abroad, must be the entire prostration of our national character.—The day after this bill passed, which was on the 16th January, dispatches from our Minister at London were sent to us, which had been received before Christmas.—These dispatches, several members declared would have changed their vote, if they had seen them in time—while others affirmed that they served to confirm them in the propriety of their's."
The Gazette.
MONDAY, May 26, 1806.
Last evening arrived at this port, ship Eliza, Capt. Salter, in 29 days from Liverpool.—By this arrival, we have received papers to the 18th of April; but they afford no intelligence in addition to what has been already received.
More of Miranda's expedition.
Accounts from Laguira, to the 28th April, have been received, via Philadelphia. Miranda had not then effected a landing on the Spanish Main.—He was, however, expected; and 2000 regulars, and 30,000 militia, were said to be embodied to oppose him. The commander of a British frigate had informed an American master, that when Miranda left Cape-Nicholas-Mole, his force consisted of six British frigates, two armed ships, and two schooners, having on board 6000 colored troops; and destined for the Carraccas. Advices from Curacoa [50 or 60 leagues to leeward of the place where it is probable Miranda would land] to the 1st May, state, that about the 23d April, Miranda's squadron passed the place, beating to windward; and that business on the Main was at a stand, in expectation of Miranda's landing.—This appears to be direct.—Centinel.
Dispatches have been received from the Mediterranean, at Washington, which were forwarded to Monticello.—They were immediately sent back to Washington, by Mr. Cole, the president's secretary; and it was said were to be immediately followed by the president.
The result of the late election of representatives in this town, has been a sore disappointment to the democrats: not willing to submit to the voice of the majority, they resort to their only mode of argument, scurrility and abuse. Neither age, virtue or character, escape the wanton attacks of these vultures of society. Particularly to notice the stuff and blackguardism which gives so much celebrity to the polluted columns of the lying Argus , would be to descend to that state of filth and depravity, which is the natural element of its worthy editor. The friends of federalism, will never require the use of such weapons. The leaders of the democratic party, and their hireling minions have so long held the exclusive use of this convincing mode of reasoning, that we are far from disputing their boasted proficiency.
The nominal editor of the Argus , stung with the truths contained in the last Gazette , was so affected as to discover strong symptoms of a speedy dissolution. The leaders of the democrats were in the greatest consternation—the cry among them was, if we lose this mighty champion of our cause, all is gone—the "giant of aristocracy" will "tread" upon every one of us. Frantic with despair, the knowing ones had a consultation, but ignorant of the real cause of complaint, numerous prescriptions were proposed; but it was impossible to "harmonize," and it being a case that could not be "winked out of sight," the person so "capable" of "representing the town well," proposed to send for doctor Ch—s, who, upon examining the habit of the patient, pronounced the disorder to be, a surcharge of scurrility and abuse, alias democratic wit and argument; and recommended a dose of unseated , declaring that he had always found it an infallible specific for democratic ailments , in his line of practice. The young man at first refused, but the desire of protracting an infamous existence, and being promised many pretty things, he consented to comply with the advice; and, strange as it may seem with great reluctance, although the medicine was perfectly consonant to his own nature. But it would have run tears of pity and compassion even from a "purse-proud aristocrat," to have
beheld the agonies and convulsions of the poor patient, during the whole of Wednesday night; but, to the unspeakable joy of his worthy supporters, early on Thursday morning the medicine operated, and the whole contents of his stomach disengorged in the form of the Eastern-Argus ; and immediately spread over every part of the town, to the great annoyance of the attracting nerves of its citizens; and so polluted was the atmosphere, as to cause an application to be made to the health-committee, to have the nuisance removed into the dock, and the subject of so much evil "hand-carted" out of town; but by his promising to retire to the "Chronicle-office" for a fortnight, there to receive the reward of his ingenuity, he was spared for the present.
We would recommend to the real editor of the Argus , to procure a patent for the sole use of such witty terms as "college learnt editor," "classical paper," "great man," &c. as they are all conclusive in democratic argument, and may be considered by jacobins as very faithy matter , in a 4th of July oration.
The hand-cart allusion in the last Argus , was a "wonderful discovery," besides being very laughable (don't forget the patent) but not a word about the horse-cart , 'Squire Bartlett is preparing to exhibit the nominal editor of the Argus in, upon the termination of a certain suit.
The "Disagreables." The use of personalities can answer no other purpose but to promote personal enmity; and the Argus expresses great sorrow on the use of them; but in the next sentence attacks the character of a worthy and respectable citizen. If such is to be the means of establishing the fair fame of the world-to-be-representative , we shall not be backward in the use of stubborn facts in this business.
COMMUNICATION. The Argus (and its brat) has of late been more than usually filled with slander and abuse of the federalists in this town—Galled by their disappointment at the election of representatives to the General Court, the scribblers in that paper are constantly fretting about every thing that has been said or done by the federal party in caucus, town meeting, or in the streets. Printing the name of William Widgery Esq., one of the democratic candidates, in italick, has roused the indignation of the "Argus man" himself who, triumphantly asks, "Why is Mr. Widgery's name pointed in this manner? Is it because he is a man of talents? Is it such a wonderful thing to discover talents on the republican side? who is the man on the federal side so capable of representing this town well as William Widgery Esq! Who is the man on your list that you dare put in competition with him?" And the enquiry is followed up with a mean attack upon the feelings of a worthy and respectable man, one of the representatives of this town, whose character would not suffer by the strictest scrutiny. But why are democrats tenacious of the feelings and the character of their champion—their great man—their " Man of talents ?" What important office do they hold in reserve for him? Is he not a counsellor? If so, may Heaven indeed council our counsellors. What proof has this "great man" ever given of his splendid talents? was it the part he acted in the convention of delegates in this state; to whom we are indebted for their wisdom in adopting the federal constitution? Does the Journals of our Senate or House of Representatives afford a solitary instance of a report of a committee, a Resolve or a Bill that were the productions of his pen? It is believed that no such proof can be found—If it can, let it be adduced.
* It is reported that a horse and man were in readiness to carry with all possible speed, the tidings to Fort Sumner, in case the chairman of the Selectmen had declared the result of the Meeting in favour of the democratic ticket, and the blessed intelligence was to have been conveyed to their democratic brethren in Falmouth by the discharge of cannon.
MARRIED. In this town, col. James W. Head, of Warren, to Miss Francis Sanford, daughter of capn. Thomas S. In Scarborough, by the Rev Thomas Lancaster, Mr. William Libby, to Miss Catharine Hanscom.

In Boston, Mr. Serh Jacobs, to Miss Sukey Brackett, of Woburn—Mr. Daniel Pomroy, to Mrs. Clarissa Parsons—Mr. William Heath, to Miss Alice Smith.
DIED. In Paris, Mr. Tronchet, the last council of Louis XVI. He was a member of Bonaparte's conservative senate.—In England, the most noble Georgiana, duchess of Devonshire , aged 49 equally eminent for the beauty and graces of her person and mind as for the rank and influence she held in society.—In Philadelphia, Henry Hoffer, aged 56, a man of color; celebrated as a methodist preacher of the gospel, for many years, although he had not
learned his letters"—In Salem, Mrs. Elizabeth, widow of the late Mr. John Gray, aged 83.—In Gouldborough, col. Nathan Jones, aged 73. This worthy man left to a large progeny, exalted examples of unshaken virtue. His enterprize smoothed the wilds of the eastern shores, which his liberality contributed to settle. His hospitality was proverbial. He was a firm friend of our constitution; and his religious mind, with christian hopes, the rewards of a well-spent life.—In Saco, Mrs. Sarah Gattridge, aged 75.—In Limington, Mr. John M'Arthur, jnn. aged 23—a young man of benevolence of heart, correct in principle, of purity in his morality and religion. His morning of life, promised to him and his connections much happiness; but the grasp of death hath chilled the bud of expectation.
In this town, Mr. James Strattan, aged 51, a native of Ireland. He stabbed himself a few days previous, in a fit of insanity. Last evening, Mrs. Abigail Caldwell, aged 30, wife of capt. William C.—Her funeral will be this afternoon, at her late dwelling house in Jones' Row; where her friends are desired to attend without further invitation.

COMMERCIAL. A letter from William Lee, esq. to the editor of the Centinel , dated Bourdeaux, March 3, 1806, says, "By two Imperial decrees, dated the 22d and 27th of last month, the importation into this country, of white and printed cottons and muslins are prohibited—Cotton-wool is henceforth to pay a duty of 30 francs per 100 lb.—Tobacco is hereafter to pay 100 francs duty on 100 lbs; to which must be added in ten per cent, or war duty." A letter from Liverpool, dated 5th April, says—"We learn, in addition to what we have already communicated respecting the new duties in France, that it is the intention of that government to require each vessel bringing a cargo from the United States, to take a cargo of equal value in French produce or manufactures. The effect here on the cotton market, of the embargo on Prussian ruffs, will be very considerable." Private letters from Liverpool state, that a new duty had been laid on all cotton goods exported from Great-Britain.

OFFICE-HUNTING! TUNE: "The Duke's Night." OFFICE OFFICE is the only toast, And that so hard to gain, What boots it me who rules the roast, If I must kiss the chain! But a hunting we will go, &c. The bowers and fields—pretty things! Who would not with the prize? For this the Statesman loudly sings, And demagogues arise. And a hunting we will go, &c. Should one in power, firm and wise, Arise to fair renown, Alarm the kennel with your cries— And hang him, hang him down! And a hunting we will go, &c. Should he our country disobey, Or deign to act his will, On from the general order fray, We'll ply the magic quill. And a hunting we will go, &c. For scandal loves a lofty game, And there's fat game at court! Let seekers blast each patriot's fame, And we'll have mighty sport. And a hunting we will go, &c. When each one shall an office hold, How happy we shall be! Then wheels of government shall roll— Huzzah for liberty! And a hunting we will go, &c. (New-York paper.) A Good Thing.—At a meeting of the common council of the city of London, during the debate upon addressing the king, respecting the new administration; as Mr. Waithman was concluding his observations, he saw Mr. Dixon shake his head at what he was saying, he concluded by observing, "that he was very sorry to see the gentleman shake his head," upon which Mr. Dixon instantly rose and observed, "truly I did shake my head, but there was nothing in it."
Late Omission. From Washington, April 20. THE Senate do not cordially harmonize with the President, but have seen fit to negative several of his nominations. The nomination and appointment of Mr. William Pinkney, a gentleman of talents, to be envoy extra to the Court of Great Britain, is the only good deed which has been done for some time. Mr. Pinkney is a firm and decided federalist, who has never trimmed; and despises an apostate. He was a law student with Judge Chase. The appointment is considered highly judicious. "On the morning of the 17th we had in the city, or at least between two men from the city, who went over to the Virginia shore, a sample of that gothic barbarity which is a disgrace to our country—I mean a duel, between Dr. Smith and a Dr. Archer, the one of the army and the other of the navy of the U. States, in which Dr. Archer fell, being supposed to be killed on the spot; but I understand he was alive yesterday morning, tho' there were little or no hopes of his recovery; should he lose his life, it may, in the most extensive sense of the word, be said that he died as a fool dieth.—The particulars, so far as I have been able to collect them, were as follows: Some time before, how long I know not, there was a ball at Col. Wharton's, the commander of the marine corps; Lt. Wormley, of the marines, asked young Miss Danielson, step daughter to Gen. Eaton, to dance—the declined, saying she had already danced considerable and felt too much fatigued; Wormley considered it as an affront, and threw out some indecent observations with regard to the young lady; Eaton was present, and Dr. Smith observed to Wormley, that he thought it indecent and ungentleman like to treat the young lady so, especially as she had no person to protect her, and said he would tell Gen. Eaton, which he accordingly did. This brought on something like a fracas between Eaton and Wormley, which was stopped by the interposition of some officers present—Wormley afterwards attempted to make an attack upon Smith, in order to whip him for the information he gave to Eaton—Smith proved the stouter man, and whipped Wormley severely. He afterwards sent Smith a challenge by the hand of Archer Smith replied that Wormley was a scoundrel and a patron, and could lay no claim to the character of a gentleman, and he scorned to meet him, or words to that purpose. Archer was rather offended at this treatment of his friend, and Smith told
him that if he felt disposed to espouse Wormley's quarrel, as he considered him as a gentleman, he would meet him. They accordingly met, and Archer fell, receiving a ball through the body. The quarrel was entirely between Smith and Wormley, and Archer had no concern in it. Since the American revolution, I believe more officers of the army and navy have fallen by duels than any other way. The growing frequency of this and other evils, may lead us to exclaim, O tempora, O mores!"
