Poetry. THE GREEN VEIL, Sent to a Lady with Hammond's Poems.
If I, fair maid, in plaintive strain Confess no anxious lover's pain, Nor bid my sighing numbers flow, In languid notes of mimic woe; Think not mine eyes to beauty blind, My heart unfeeling or unkind, Unfit for love's sensations keen, But thank your cloudy Veil so green.
If, while the veil conceals your cheek, I start not from your glance oblique; Nor tingle through my glowing veins The crimson tint my face distains; Nor yet unconscious near your side, With motion scarce perceiv'd I glide, To talk by fits, and pause between; Then thank your cloudy Veil so green.
If sighs of fondness half repress'd In secret breathe not from my breast, Nor round my heart the languors wreathe Which oft forbid the sigh to breathe, Nor see my brow of pallid hue Effuse the cold and shining dew, Balm not, fair maid, your faultsless mein, But thank your cloudy Veil so green.
And now when unconcern'd and gay, I pour the jocund sportive lay, And bid my careless heir defy The glance of that love-kindling eye; Still as I muse on Hammond's pain, Who felt the woes that others feign, Like Hammond's fate mine might have been, I think, and bless your veil so green.
Miscellany. From the Philadelphia Gazette.
COMMUNICATION.
The National Intelligencer at Washington, and the Aurora of this city have lately attempted to refute the imputations against the administration relating to Miranda's expedition. The feebleness and incoherency of these productions show rather the difficulty of the task on the part of the writers, than the purity and integrity of their employers.—We shall content ourselves at present with oppressing to the sickly sophistry of the one and the boisterous jarrability of the other, the following:—
FACTS.
1st. It is a fact that Miranda has been, and is an outlaw in Spain for more than twenty years past, and that this circumstance was long ago perfectly known to Mr. Jefferson.
2d. It is a fact that Miranda arrived in this country in November last, and that administration were immediately acquainted with the object of his errand to fit out an expedition from a port or ports, of the United States to revolutionize Carraccas.
3d. It is a fact that previous to Miranda's going to Washington, a friend of the President warned him, in an indirect manner, to beware of Miranda.
4th. It is a fact that Miranda went down to Washington some days after the opening of Congress in December last, and that although well known as an outlaw of a government at peace with the United States, yet this adventurer was cordially received by both the President and Secretary of State.
5th. It is a fact that this man divested of all character from any foreign power and only known as a political swindler for many years past, was not only well received at the house and table of the President of the Secretary of State, but that he also held frequent, long and secret conferences with them both.
6th. It is a fact that the day previous to Miranda's leaving Washington he dined with the Secretary of State, and that immediately after dinner, and when some of the company were yet at table, Mr. Madison and Miranda were closeted together in the next room for a considerable time.
7th. It is a fact, altho' the President and the Secretary of State, were acquainted with Miranda's object, fitting out an expedition from the United States against the Spanish Main, his motions were not watched, and that no orders were given to the collectors and other officers of the federal government, to be vigilant over his conduct so as to defeat any attempt of his to commit the
peace, honor, and the interest of the country, as it was their duty to have done.
8th. It is a fact that Miranda immediately on his return from Washington, to New-York, set himself at work with an activity and frankness, which indicated a confidence of not being interrupted and the certainty that his considerable expences would not become useless by any superior official interference.
9th. It is a fact, that the official and sociable communication or intercourse had not ceased to exist between the secretary of state and the minister of Spain; that their visits, during Mr. Madison's residence in Philadelphia, were frequent; that he dined at the minister's country house; and that the very day previous to Mr. M's return to Washington the minister of Spain was engaged to dine with him, although he could not accept the invitation, owing to a previous engagement.
10th. It is a fact, that from that period to the minister's journey to Washington, no circumstance did occur which could alter this reciprocal friendly intercourse.
11th. It is a fact, notwithstanding the friendly footing on which they parted at Philadelphia, and that no incident of a disagreeable nature had taken place in the interval, the secretary of state sent to the minister of Spain, a few hours after his arrival at Washington, a lettre de cachet, or an order to quit the city.
12th. It is a fact, that at the time a legitimate minister of a power with whom we appeared disposed to live in peace and good harmony, was thus publicly insulted, a traitor, an outlaw of that very power, had been friendly and cordially received by the officers of government.
13th. It is a fact that timely official representations were made to our government, to send the Hornet then ready for sea, after Miranda's vessel, with the intimation that this marauder, was to touch at a port in St. Domingo, previous to his enterprize against Carraccas; that the application was disregarded, and no effectual measures taken to defeat one of the most odious attempts which disgrace the annals of civilized nations.
15th. It is a fact, that had the Hornet, or any other vessel been sent after Miranda the expedition would have been destroyed in the bud, our national honor retrieved, and the blood of our fellow-citizens, prisoners at Carraccas spared by this step, as just as it would have been politic.
The foregoing are incontrovertible facts; their lists could be increased. We abstain from all observations or comments, they are too obvious, and we leave them altogether to the reader.
Defencelessness of our Country. Extract from Maj. Suet's Oration, pronounced at Salem, on the last anniversary of American Independence.
"AMERICANS, let it not be said you are surpassed by subjects of a King. Let it not be said, Englishmen, whom you beat in war, beat you in defence of their country. Yet go into England; see them, in danger, united in defence. See the whole country bristled with bayonets. Their bright faulchions leap from their scabbards, and gleam a wall of fire round the sea-girt shore. Lawyers, merchants and mechanics, join to volunteer their purses and their lives. Hear the patriot Earl Moira declare he would fight, a soldier in the ranks. Hear the opposition swear to unite with government, with them nail their flags to the mast, and sink or swim with their king, their country and constitution; and return to your own country, and blush for your defenceless situation."
Mr. Fox was lately reminded, by an old friend, of the Whig Club, of former services, and hinted a hope that they were not forgotten:—"My dear Sir, (said the Minister,) be assured of my gratitude, but at present we are obliged to lie there in a bed." [London paper.]
AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.
The 30th anniversary of this glorious epoch was celebrated agreeable to the prediction of our late illustrious President, John Adams, "with pomp, fireworks, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of the continent to the other." The limits of our paper will not admit of a general narration of all the Toasts given on this ever-memorable occasion. We select the following as being applicable to the times.
IN LYNN.
Massachusetts —Its eclipse is not total; may the dark shade of democracy never again obscure its glory.
The President of the United States —He only that walketh uprightly, walketh surely.
VOLUNTEERS.
Deacon Gooch, and all other honest democrats, who prefer the dictates of conscience to adherence to party.
The Federal shoe-makers of Lynn—May this day's work never rip.
IN CHARLESTOWN.
The Constitution —It stands a bulwark, or, it links a grave.
United States —An independent republic, suing with a fee of two millions for possession of her own soil! !
The Navy —The good old Admiral Federalism would point its cannon against the invaders of our rights, rather than suffer them to be wounded by the Hornet's fling.
Governor Strong —The first of magistrates and the best of men. Faction may rob him of his political titles, but can never tarnish the lustre of his virtues.
James Sullivan —The senatorial phantom, that ghost of democracy, called up from the shades, to curse its own creators, who cannot declare its generation.
IN PORTSMOUTH.
Congress —While they deprecate war, may they remember suffrage is not peace.
The People —May they learn to abhor men who prize of the Empire of Reason, and pay homage only to their prejudices and passions.
Economy of public moneys —Let it be manifested by parsimony of tribute.
IN GOSHEN. (Hampshire County.)
James Sullivan and Scattering —Two fine, prominent, unimpeachable candidates for the chair of democracy.
The leaders of Democracy —There is now proof as clear as the blaze of noon day, that the loaves and fishes are their real object, and that they little regard the interest or will of the people, or the Constitution.
Democratic Economy —Ten or twelve thousand dollars expended in attempting to cheat the good people of Massachusetts out of their constitutionally elected Governor.
IN WEST-SPRINGFIELD.
Economy —May our government not manifest it by scoring up new debts as fast as they pay old ones.
Louisiana —May we not "pay too dear for our whistle."
Federalism —The only barrier between Democracy and Despotism—May its basis remain forever immovable.
No Tribute , but such as Eaton and Paine paid to the Bathaw of Tripoli.
IN NEWLONDON, (Connecticut.)
By the brave tars who assembled at Marine Tavern, kept by Mr. Walter Grace, in this city.
Massachusetts —in a squall: An age of wonders—two total eclipses in one month!
Connecticut —in eddytone: Let the storm rage and the seas buffet—she will remain a safeguard to the distressed mariner.
New Jersey —Boatswain Sloan! the most eloquent that ever piped all hands.
Pennsylvania —Duane in the fuds, or Simon the magician outwitted. "Presto! pass quick, and begone!"
Virginia —"Equal and exact justice to all men." Lands free from bottomry.
Southern States —"Liberty & Equality." N. B. "Just imported, and will be sold at public vendue, 959 prime Congo SLAVES."
Georgia —the pilot fish to the shark: Dependent on his fate, may his fate be her's.
Commerce of the United States —protected by a light-house on Carter's mountain, gun-boats and bloody proclamations!
Jack Randolph —an honest fallor, who speaks the truth and shames the devil.
It is a poor rule that won't work both ways —Millions for tribute, not a cent for defence.
LATE OMISSIONS.
From the Philadelphia Advertiser.
MR. POULSON.
In reading the great Sir Matthew Hale's "Directions for keeping the LORD'S DAY," my attention was forcibly arrested by the following passage, which I have transcribed for re-publication in your paper:—P.
"I have by long and sound experience, found, that the due observance of this day, and of the duties of it, have been of singular comfort and advantage to me and I doubt not but it will prove so to others.—GOD ALMIGHTY is the LORD of our time, and lends it to us; and as it but just we should consecrate this part of that time to him, so I have found by a strict and diligent ob-
servation, that a due observance of the duty of this day, hath ever had joined to it, a blessing upon the rest of my time; and the week that hath been so begun, hath been blessed and prosperous to me; and, on the other side, when I have been negligent of the duties of this day the rest of the week hath been unsuccessful and unhappy to my own secular employments; so that I could easily make an estimate of my successes in my own secular employments the week following, by the manner of my passing of THIS DAY; and this I do not write lightly or inconsiderately, but upon a long and found observation and experience."
On Saturday, the 10th ult. was executed at Lancaster, Christopher Simpson.
Christopher Simpson was convicted, at the last assizes, of highway robbery, on the person of Mr. Stephen Sparrow, of Chipping. It appeared that he had escaped from the gaol at Hertford, when under sentence of transportation for life, for a similar offence, and had come into this country, where he soon committed the same offence for which he was executed. He was a man of considerable acuteness, and had imbibed principles which denying the free agency of man, lead, of necessity, to the commission of crimes of all descriptions. He belonged to that sect, which, by a most dangerous perversion of the doctrines of our holy religion, encourages a self-delusion most fatal to society, and most awfully dangerous to its objects; a delusion that sets at nought all practical virtue. But let the deluded votaries of these pernicious tenets, learn from the example of this unhappy man, their danger and their fallhood. He had formerly persuaded himself that he could meet death, not only without fear, but triumph, and that confident of his acceptance with God, he would not exchange his situation with the best of those who might assemble to witness his execution. In this disposition of mind, he remained till within two hours of the fatal moment, when he became most violently agitated, and continued to the last in a state of horror. He delivered to the chaplain immediately before his execution a paper, which he had originally intended to read to the populace; and in which he confesses to have broken open above fifty houses—to have stolen above thirty horses, and to have committed more highway robberies than his memory would enable him to enumerate. To an early disobedience of parents he ascribed his first departure from the paths of virtue.

USEFUL COUNSELLOR.
A Thief was one day discovered in the great chamber, (a court of justice in Paris) stealing a purse. The court allowed the knave a counsel or to defend him. The Advocate went up stairs to him, and taking him aside, "Is it true," said he, "that you stole the purse of somebody now in court?" "It is very true, Sir, (replied the thief) but"—"Hold your tongue," said the lawyer: "the best counsel I can give you is, to scamper away as fast as possible." The thief took the hint, and ran down the staircase.—The counsellor returning into court, the president asked what he had to say in defence of his client? "Gentlemen," replied he, "the poor wretch confessed his crime to me; and, as he was not guarded by any one, and I was appointed his counsel, I thought it to advise him to run away. He did not hesitate, but vanished in an instant."
At one of the mock auctions in the Strand, a shrewd Irishman looked in a day or two since; and, witnessing for some time their manoeuvres, he called out to the man with the hammer, "Pray, Sir, may I bid what I please?" "Yes, Sir," was the reply of the complainant auctioneer. "Why, then," says Pat, "I bid you a good morning!"—Lond. pag.

LONDON, JUNE 2.
New French Naval Orders.
The following circumstances, it is said, can be attested by every officer and man on board Sir John Warren's Squadron:—When the English force under that gallant Officer had put into St. Jago, after the capture of the Marengo and the Belle Poule, Admiral Linois requested Sir John's permission to assemble the French Officers, for the purpose of reading to them an Imperial Edict, which he had by him for some time, and which materially affected his and their interests. The English Admiral having accordingly assented to this demand with all that urbanity and politeness which distinguished him, the French Officers were got together to the amount of nearly 70, when the instrument in question was read to them by Admiral Linois. It began by reciting, that his Imperial Majesty, Bonaparte, having had serious cause of chagrin and displeasure at the repeated checks and disasters his naval force had hitherto experienced in the contest with England, was determined that it should undergo a thorough reform. Then, after many regulations for the better ordering and conducting his navy in time of hostility with other powers, and for the excitement of his sailors to heroic deeds, it concluded by stating, that in future all officers of the navy, who were captured by the enemy, should be from that moment reduced to one-fourth of their actual pay. "And you, gentlemen, therefore," continued Linois, "with myself, are hereby so reduced, and must shift as well as we can with the little that remains."
Orders were issued on Saturday morning from the Admiralty, to fit out eleven ships of the line, out of those in ordinary, at the several ports, with all possible expedition.
PLYMOUTH, MAY 23.
The Pallas frigate, commanded by Lord Cochrane, which arrived here yesterday, is gone into Barn Pool to refit the damages received in an attack on a large French frigate, and four corvettes, under the batteries at the Isle de Bas. It is said, that the frigate was left a complete wreck, with one side completely beaten in. It is also reported, that the Pallas had 8 men killed and several wounded. The Latona frigate, one of the Inshore Squadron off Brest, in the late cruise, fell in with a French fishing boat; from the people in her they learnt, that there were nine sail of the line, two frigates, and a brig of 16 guns, at Brest with all sails bent—but the greater part of the line of battle ships were scarcely sea-worthy, and very badly manned; their crews had been drafted to complete the complement of the ships sent to India and St. Domingo; and at present are principally composed of young men, who preferred serving in them to going in the army with the last requisition. They also stated, that navy stores were very scarce in the arsenal, and not work enough to employ the artificers more than 20 days in a month; a great number of whom were sent out in the late detachments that failed from thence. Undermentioned are the names of the vessels remaining at Brest:—Republicaine, Invincible, and L'Ocean, three deckes, one of them in Dock; Jane Bart, Tourville, Batave, Wat, L'Alliance, (Spanish,) Julie, and Conqueror, of 74 guns each; L'Indienne and Topaze, (lately arrived from Lisbon,) frigates, and a brig, of 16 guns.
FROM NAPLES, APRIL 25.
This morning 2000 French let out for Gaeta.—The corps of miners is arrived under the walls of that place whose reduction, it is expected, will soon follow.
FROM VENICE, MAY 5.
We still are blockaded by the enemy; in the mean while they work night and day in our arsenal at equipping a flotilla, which will be more than sufficient to drive away the enemy's ships. As soon as the Russians shall have evacuated Cartago, Corfa, Zante, &c. will be attacked, as the Seven Isles formerly belonged to Venice.
FROM ITALY, MAY 6.
The commander of the English troops in Sicily has made an offer to the brave Prince of Hesse Philipthal who defends Gaeta in so distinguished a manner, to support him with English troops; but this the Prince has declined, declaring that his garrison is sufficient, and that he can rely upon it?

MR. EDITOR, The following is a letter received from a valuable friend, with my answer thereto, which you will be good enough to give a place in your paper. W. S. SMITH.
PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 28.
SIR I HAVE just received from Carraccas a list of the names of the Americans taken by the Spaniards on board of Miranda's Schooners.—The name of Smith is twice found in it. I suspect the last to be the son of Col. Smith, and grandson of Mr. Adams. Although I had some political differences with him when he was president, this circumstance has not deprived me of that particular regard and respect towards such a distinguished character, and particular consideration for his family. Not the least doubt exists but the greatest part of the prisoners will be put to death as pirates, and I would be very happy to be able, by a timely and immediate interference, to save the life of this unfortunate youth, grandson to the venerable Mr. Adams and his worthy spouse. But to render my intercession effectual, I would require, as the only condition, that Col. Smith would disclose to me, through you, on his word of honor, all the knowledge he has of Miranda's plans, of his intended points of attack, of the persons with whom he had connections in Carraccas, and of the name of a Spaniard in this country, who shared in his scheme and expedition; in fact, all the material information he may be possessed of, the knowledge of which may be useful to my government, and for the preservation and the tranquility of the provinces Miranda had in view to revolutionize.
As I remember your attachment for Mr Adams, I take the liberty to make this suggestion to you, who no doubt will employ all the means, to relieve from affliction, a worthy and disconsolate family.—At all events, I expect from you a prompt and decisive answer on this head.
I remain, sir, &c. &c. (Signed)— Marquis De Casa Yrujo. Mr. —————
NEW-YORK, JUNE 30.
DEAR SIR, ACCEPT of my warmest acknowledgement, for your very interesting communication of this date, presented by your son accompanied with the letter addressed to you, from the Marquis De Casa Yrujo, which, after maturely considering, I return agreeable to your request.
I am sure I shall do justice to the feelings of Mr. and Mrs. Adams, if in their name I thank the Marquis for his very polite attentions, in a case, no doubt, near, interesting and affecting. I am sure, when I do him the justice to communicate his tender solicititudes for the protection of their grandson, it will not fail of exciting those sensibilities and acknowledgements, which from them the Marquis is highly entitled to.
For myself, not having the honor of his acquaintance, I had no right to expect any other attention to feelings, or dignity of character, than what would naturally spring from his own mind, when making so interesting a communication.
He informs you, he has just received from Carraccas a list of the names of Americans taken by the Spaniards on board of Miranda's Schooners, that the name of Smith is twice found in it, he suspects the last to be my son, and grandson to Mr. Adams, and says, that he should be very happy, by a timely and immediate interference, to save the life of the unfortunate youth, grandson to the venerable Mr. Adams, and his worthy spouse; he having no doubt but the greatest part of the Americans will be put to death. But, to render this intercession effectual, he requires, as the only condition, that I disclose to him, through you, on my word of honor, all the knowledge I have of Miranda's plans, of his intended points of attack, of the persons with whom he has connections in Carraccas, and the names of the Spaniards in this country who shared in his schemes and expedition, in fact all the material information I may be possessed of, the knowledge of which may be useful to the Spanish government, for the preservation and tranquility of the provinces Miranda has in view to revolutionize.
When the Marquis De Casa Yrujo takes a dispassionate view of the circumstances connected with general Miranda's visit to Washington, his subsequent conduct here, and clearly ascertains that the persons accompanying him in the Leander, were not informed of his projects and plans he will permit his benevolence to expand and shelter all those taken in the Schooners, from harsh treatment and unmerited punishment, he will induce the government of his country to view the question in other lights than those which may tend to expose it to more severe animadversions than have hitherto been made, or to the rousing of that spirit of indignation and resentment, which, if once permitted to burst forth, cannot fail of being attended with strong marks of just revenge.
With respect to my son, he was not made acquainted with the plans of general Miranda, he went with him as a young companion, to share his fortunes and his fate, he was accompanied by some of his friends capable of deeds of hardihood and valour—Worthy their leader—worthy his cause.
Whatever may be the situation and fate of the persons taken on board the Schooners, I can never tacitly sanction the lash of tyranny on his associates, and snatch my son from a participation in their fate, whatever it may be. Nothing but the Marquis's want of an acquaintance with me can plead in excuse for the indecacy of his propositions. Do me the favor, my friend, to assure him, that were I in my son's situation I would not comply with his proposals to save myself, and I would not cast so great an indignity upon my son, my family and myself, as to shelter him under the shield of infamy and disgrace. I have no doubt the Marquis will give such advice to the governor of Carraccas, and make such a statement to his king, (by whom I may have the honor to be personally recollected) as will induce them not to tarnish the dignified character of the Spanish nation, by any acts of passion and barbarity connected with the present case.
I am, dear sir, with great respect, Your obedient friend and Humble servant. W. S. SMITH.

MUNGO PARK.
We are sorry to communicate to our readers, the death of this enterprising and indefatigable traveller, whose researches in Africa have been read with so much avidity, and have afforded so much instruction. He had been amply supplied by the British government with every thing necessary to render his second tour through the interior of that country, of the highest benefit to mankind. He arrived at Goree, in a British ship of war, in the month of March, 1805; from which he ascended the river Gambia, with about forty attendants, provided with portable canoes, and every thing necessary to render their travels easy and speedy—they had penetrated about 1500 miles into the interior, to a place called Sego, which Mr. Park has described in his former Book of Travels.—The number of his attendants had been reduced by sickness and death to three, exclusive of himself;—the King of this place after carrying him into every part of the city, which is walled in and considered the largest in Africa, and shewing him every curiosity which it afforded; had cruelly and brutally murdered him, together with his attendants. This intelligence is furnished us by a gentleman recently from the Rio Pongus, who received the information from traders from the interior country, and on whom reliance might be placed.
NEW-YORK, JULY 15.
CIRCUIT COURT.
The U. S. Circuit Court met in this city yesterday, agreeable to ad-
jourment, for the Trial of Samuel G. Ogden, esq. and col. Smith.
A motion was made by the counsel for the defendants, that a compulsory process be issued, to secure the attendance of Mr. Madison, Mr. Dearborne, Mr. Smith, and other absent witnesses. In the course of the altercation to which this motion gave rise, Judge Patterson read a letter, (signed by the gentlemen above-mentioned) stating, that the President of the United States had communicated to them his decided opinion, that the present situation of public affairs, would not admit of their absence from the seat of government. The Court decided that, in order to determine the propriety of granting a compulsory process, it was necessary to hear the nature and extent of the testimony expected—and that, although the Judges were ready to hear the motion discussed, yet they could not decide upon it, until they had decided a prior motion, offered by the District Attorney, the discussion of which was postponed until this day.

The following is a copy of a letter from Commodore PREBLE to the Secretary of the Navy
Portland, June, 17, 1806.
SIR BY Lieutenant Jones, of the Navy, I had this day the honor to receive your letter of the 17th ult. accompanying a Gould Medal struck in pursuance of a resolution of Congress of the 3d March 1805 emblematical of the attacks on the town, batteries and naval forces of Tripoli, by the squadron under my command. You will be pleased to communicate to the President of the United States, that I accept with gratitude this honorable testimony of the approbation of my Country. And I pray you be assured that I am truly sensible of the very handsome and obliging manner in which it has been presented.
I have the honor to be, With the highest respect, Sir, Your most obedient servant. EDWARD PREBLE. Hon. ROBERT SMITH.

MONDAY, JULY 21, 1806.
To the Patrons of the Portland Gazette.
WITH this number commences the second year since the present Proprietor of the GAZETTE became interested in the establishment.
At a time like the present, when party intolerance threatens the destruction of the constitution, and a total disregard of the rights of the people, for the sole purpose of gratifying a few ambitious and unprincipled demagogues, it is of the first importance that all those who feel a regard for the prosperity and honor of the country, should exert themselves to give extension to those principles and measures which tend to preserve our civil and religious institutions.
The events of the year past, have afforded a useful lesson, which ought to stimulate the friends of equal rights, and a republican form of government, not to be unmindful of our present political situation. We have seen those who have been loudest in proclaiming their love of the people, the moment they got into power, sport with the first right of freemen, the right of suffrage, and act the Tyrant with all the insolence of a Bonaparte. If men who pursue such conduct are to be supported, our liberties and constitution will shortly meet the fate which attended ancient Greece and Rome, and the citizens of America, when it is too late will reflect upon the consequences of having yielded to a party, the leaders of which have only one object in view, that of personal ambition and aggrandizement.
Let the friends to the principles of WASHINGTON and STRONG resolve to use their constant exertions to promote the practice of virtue, and an adherence to those principles and political maxims which will tend to perpetuate the happiness and prosperity of the community.
The Editor of the Gazette, while he tenders his acknowledgments to his Subscribers and Advertising friends; and in particular, those who have been mindful to pay their dues, earnestly solicits all who can make it convenient, to comply with the terms of this paper, which is to make yearly payment.
The following extract from the Semester , a periodical writer in the Republican Advocate, is not inapplicable to our present situation.
"Punctuality is the life of Business." "Perhaps it may not be amiss to remember the Printer in my discourse—"
He is in a very difficult and disagreeable situation. He trusts every body, he knows not how his money is scattered every where, he hardly knows where to look for it. His paper, his ink, his presses, his types, his living, all must be punctually paid for.—You, Mr. —————, and Mr. —————, and a hundred others that I could name, have taken Mr. —————'s Paper; you, and your wives, and your children, and your neighbours, have been amused and informed, and I hope improved by it—if you miss one paper, you think very hard of the Printers or the Post for it, for you had rather go without your best meal, than without your paper.—Have you ever complied with the condition of the Subscription? Have you contributed your mite to repay him for his ink, his paper, his types, his presses, his handwork, and his head work? If you have not—go "pay him off, and sin no more."
Town customers who are indebted for the paper and advertising will be presented with their bills in the course of the present week.
Northyarmouth Subscribers will have their bills lodged at the Store of Mr. Nathaniel Jenks.
EUROPEAN NEWS.
Dutch papers to the 10th of June have been received at New-york.
Skimmlippennek has resigned the office of Chief Magistrate of the Republic of Holland, the reason given is want of eye-sight and old age. It would not be prudent for him to say it is the will of Bonaparte. He is succeeded by Vos Van Sleenwyck, till the arrival of Louis Bonaparte, who with his Princess was expected at the Hague the 14th of June.
GAETA.
The brave Prince Hesse who commands the garrison of Gaeta which has for some time past been besieged by a French Army, still holds out and has rejected all overtures to surrender.
The following extract contains and outline of its situation.
"The fortress of Gaeta, the garrison of which at present resists the whole force of the French army in Naples is situated upon a peninsula and is very strong by art and nature. The ground in its vicinity being hard rock immediately below the surface, no trenches can be opened upon it: and, without the dominion of the sea, it is impossible to reduce it by famine. It bears a striking resemblance to Gibraltar, on which account the Italians call it Little Gibraltar. In 1797 it sustained a celebrated siege against the Austrians, who took it by assault, after throwing into the place 1500 bombs and 26000 cannon balls."
The last accounts from England contradict the report of the adjustment of the differences between Great Britain and Austria.
Prospect of a General Peace.
An article under date of Vienna May 25 informs, that, Van Gubril, formerly Secretary to the Russian legation, has arrived here from Petersburg, and confirms the report of the evacuation of Cartago by the Russians; by which all the former reports are contradicted and silenced. M. Van Gubril, we are assured, is at present ready to go to Paris, to open negotiations for a general peace.
M. Russian, who was appointed to the consulate at Petersburg, passed through Berlin from St. Petersburg the 31st May, as a courier to Paris.—The cause of his journey was believed to be of a pacific nature.
The customary presents for the ministers of the Porte, in consequence of the recent treaty of alliance between the former and Russia, arrived at Constantinople the 15th April. These presents were estimated at 300,000 piastres.

To the Hon. Justices of the Court of Sessions, at their Court held in Portland, in and for the county of Cumberland, on the third Tuesday of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and six.
HUMBLY sheweth—your petitioners, the inhabitants of the town of Pejepscot, in said county, by the subscribers, their Selectmen, pursuant to a vote of said town, at a legal meeting, Nov. 7, Anno Domini 1805—That in consequence of a road laid out by order of the Court of Sessions, in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine, from col. Moses Merrill's, in Newgloucester, to Heldrith's ferry, and to the town of Turner; which road crossed the then plantation of Pejepscot claim, now town of Pejepscot, and the river Androscoggin in said town, called the Little river Androscoggin—whereby your petitioners are subjected to the necessity of bridging said river at an expense, greatly beyond their ability; or paying costs incurred by the town's being prevented for not building the bridge by law required, which has already been done. Your petitioners further shew, that the river is continually so much incumbered with mill-logs and other drift timber, and so subject to freshets as to endanger the safety of a bridge of the best construction; and that a bridge built at the expense of your petitioners could not be done by them without greatly embarrassing them, and being in great danger of freshets, as it could not be completed by them in the term of one year, without devoting as much labor and expense as would subject them to the necessity of leaving the roads in the town neglected, as well as their necessary labor and support of their families; that the town of Pejepscot is by far the smallest town in the county, and has been settled in such a manner that at the period of their incorporation, they were subjected to a very great expense for town ways: that litigations respecting the title of their lands has greatly impeded the progress of improvement among individuals, that three is not one inhabitant of the town that owns any land on the side of the river Androscoggin, that will render a bridge necessary, whereby they must be at an expense totally for the benefit of others, without the least advantage to themselves; that the river is safely fordable great part of the year: that a ferry is established round its mouth, & in the winter the travelling is a great part of the time late on ice, so that a bridge is necessary only at a time when the roads are seldom used for hauling heavy articles or even travelling: that the land on the north side of the river in Pejepscot, is not of that kind, called Letting lands, being chiefly pitch-pine land, or very broken.—Your petitioners therefore, pray, that so much of the country road, leading from Heldrith ferry, (so called) to Turner, may be discontinued as crosses the Little river Androscoggin, and that the same may be so altered as to lead to a convenient landing for boats: Or, if you in your wisdom, see fit not to discontinue the said road, that your petitioners may have assistance from the county, to enable them to erect a bridge, or otherwise be relieved: And your petitioners as in duty bound, will ever pray.  AND. R. GIDDINGS, Selectmen of JOB LANE, Pejepscot.
At a Court of General Sessions of the Peace for the county of Cumberland, begun and held at Portland, in said county, on the third Tuesday of March A. D. 1806.  ON the petition of the inhabitants of the town of Pejepscot, in said county, whereof the foregoing is a copy, the Court order, that the petitioners cause the same, with this order thereon to be published in the Portland Gazette , thirty days, at least, before the next term of this Court, which is to be held at Portland; within and for the county aforesaid, on the first Tuesday of September next, that any person may have opportunity then and there to appear, and shew cause why the prayer thereof should not be granted.  Attest, SAMUEL FREEMAN, Clerk. July 21.
