NEWYORK, JUNE 30. LATE INTELLIGENCE. Arrived this forenoon, febr. The...
One of these gentlemen further reports, that shortly before sailing, he had seen a letter from the American Consul at Algiers...
The emissaries of France having entered Morocco to endeavour to influence the Emperor, to join the Great Napoleon against the English...
Portugal was still groaning under its burthen, the requisitions having been so many and so frequent, as to exhaust all the specie of the kingdom...
It was generally supposed, at Gibraltar, that an amicable adjustment of all differences would take place between America and Great Britain...
PATRIOTIC RESOLUTIONS.
A GENERAL Convention of the commissioned Officers of the Third Brigade, of the 3d Division of the Militia of Vermont...
Resolved, That the situation of this Brigade requires an Address to the Public, stating the abuses and indignities which they have received...
Resolved, That Col. Barlow, Major Will, Major Hickok, Capt. Morton, and Lt. Joseph Beeman, jun. be a committee to draft such Address.
The Convention then adjourned for one hour, at the expiration of which time, the Committee made the following report, viz:—
TO THE PEOPLE.
THIS address is dictated neither by political nor party motives, nor by a disposition to increase the popular jealousy...
It appears that on the first of April last, the Collector of the port of Alburgh officially received the Non-intercourse law...
In consequence of this proclamation, orders were immediately issued by the Capt. General of this State, for a detachment of militia...
This is a brief statement of facts, and such are the singular incidents which have been heaped on the meritorious soldiery of this Brigade.
Thus situated, our characters as men, and as soldiers, being thus wantonly traduced;—our silence, at such a time, and under such circumstances, would be deservedly construed into an acquiescence in the justice of these aspersions.
At home, and where we are known, we fear not the consequences as they respect us personally; but abroad, and with strangers, these vile fabrications are received as truths.
In the first place unfounded reports of combinations, conspiracies and insurrections among us, were fabricated and industriously spread...
All this has been done, and that too, without a cause; but an object there must have been. "This mighty maze is not without a plan."
ST. ALBANS, JUNE 23.
sanction of the law, is among the least of the evils contemplated. If insurrection, rebellion, prejury and bribery were our rallying points...
But let our calumniators reflect, that in times of foreign aggression, or domestic opposition and insurrection, the protection of our rights...
With regard to our fellow soldiers from the county of Rutland, as they were prompt in their compliance with the requisitions of government...
We have now only to add, that we have ever been true and faithful to the State of Vermont; that we have ever supported the constitution of the United States...
In consequence of these resolutions and these determinations, we have heretofore individually and officially subscribed, this 17th day of June, 1808.

Understanding the friends of the honorable David Bard, a Member of
Congress, assert that he never made use of the words, "that any American who was an enemy to Bonaparte was an enemy to his country and his GOD!"
From the North American.
How long is the nation to remain in utter ignorance as to the disposal of the two millions of dollars, so long ago appropriated to secret purposes?
Happy indeed would it be for the nation, if in such necessitous times as the present, when the public revenue is so rapidly declining, the national expenses greatly enhanced, and individual distress so general, it should appear that so much treasure has been saved from perhaps some hopeless scheme of national bribery, or another wild-land purchase—"Tis a consummation devoutly to be wish'd!"
FOREIGN INFLUENCE.
The democratic electioneering writers have the impudence and folly to charge the Federalists now, as they charged the great Washington, in 1796, with being influenced by an undignified partiality for Britain...
A lame and laboured attempt is made, in the Ministerial prints, to uphold the desperate cause of their sinking Patrons, by shamefully asserting that the ruinous measure of Embargo, had become unavoidable. But neither Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Madison, nor any of their toad eaters dare to tell the aggrieved and insulted citizens of the United States, by what course of partial and pusillanimous proceedings, the necessity of this pestilential expedient had been induced...
voke the aggression of all the Belligerents, a system of policy, which has rendered, as they now say, Embargo unavoidable...
The Aurora says that England is "the sole aggressor of America, and sole disturber of the world." So then there is no aggression in the open and wanton violation of treaty, by an order that all commerce between the United States and the enemies of France shall cease.
The Democrats continue to abuse Mr. Pickering; but they cannot say he ever declared, when he was Secretary of State, "England wants money, and we must give it to her, or have war!"
A gentleman ridiculing the extremes of fashion, a lady present, asked him what he thought of short petticoats. "O, my dear madam, said he, that fashion you may carry as high as you please."
WASHINGTON, JUNE 26.
LIGHT ARTILLERY.
On Saturday and yesterday, the Citizens of Washington, had the satisfaction of witnessing, on the open space in front of the President's House, the interesting manoeuvres of a corps of light artillery...
GREAT FIRE AT JAMAICA.
By an arrival at New-York from Falmouth, (Jam.) a gentleman there writes to his correspondent, under date of 24th May, "that a most distressing Fire commenced there on the night of the 23d May; when I came (says he) to the scene of action, about 12 houses were burning, in each of which there was either rum, brandy or gin, and in some, gun-powder. The town consisted of from 200 to 250 houses, large and small, and about 150 were on fire at once; the scene was past description!

Latest from England NEWYORK, JULY 4.—The ship Complanter , capt. Gillis, from London, for Philadelphia, on the 27th of June, at midnight, went ashore on Long-Island, near Montego-Point. After remaining on shore about 16 hours was got off, and proceeded to Philadelphia. Several of the passengers left her at that place, and arrived in this city on Saturday, over land. They inform us that the Complanter , with a cargo of bale goods, left London the 5th of May—Deal the 14th—passed Dover the 15th—on the 18th passed Scilly; and on that day saw a ship, supposed to be the Osage , came out of Falmouth, and may be hourly expected.—The Complanter has brought dispatches for government. The editors of the Newyork Gazette have been favored by the passengers with London papers to the evening of the 11th of May, from which the following articles are copied.
EXTRACTS. LONDON, MAY 10.—By Dutch papers of the 5th inst. it appears that Bonaparte is determined to cut off all intercourse with the American States—Orders have been issued for the seizure and confiscation of every American vessel that may hereafter enter a French or Dutch port. Twelve sail of the line were lying at Cadiz, 26 days ago, ready for a start.—There were no French troops there. Swedish and Dutch papers to the 3d inst. have been received.—The official report of the operations of the Swedish army in Norway is highly satisfactory.—After a succession of advantages the Swedes have penetrated to the Glommen Lake and Gen. D'Armfeldt is ready to attack Christiana, the possession of which will open to them an easy communication with England—the Danes now retain but few places in Norway.
MAY 11.—The conferences between Mr. Secretary CANNING and Mr. PINCKNEY, have for the present terminated; and this day Mr. Nourse sets out on his return to America with the result. Much discussion is understood to have arisen upon the subject of the rights of searching merchant ships; and it is scarcely necessary to observe, that the interests of Britain have not been compromised by any concession of ours on this important point.— Cour.
Reasoning from present appearances, and from the violent measures of the French Government, America cannot be long in determining the line of conduct she has to adopt. Napoleon has ordered the confiscation of all American property in the ports of France—and, were it not for the general friend of the world, Great-Britain—the whole United States would soon be confiscated, with as much ease as a single ship.
The Renommee frigate is arrived with dispatches from Admiral Purvis, whom she left about a fortnight since. It is said the news she brings confirms the report of the combined Toulon and Rochfort squadrons having got safely back to Toulon. The Spartan frigate, Capt. Brenton, saw 10 sail of enemy's ships on the 8th ult. off Sardinia, steering down the Mediterranean. The expedition failed from Yarmouth yesterday morning with a fair wind for the northward.—It was a grand spectacle.—The naval force consists of nine sail of the line, five frigates, six sloops, and thirteen gun brigs, with upwards of two hundred sail of transports, with troops; eighty of which have horses on board. Several gun boats accompany the expedition; they are made upon a new construction; they draw only two feet water and carry a long eighteen pounder and a carronade.—It is conjectured that they are to cover the landing of the troops. On the 7th inst. an American vessel arrived in Guernsey, which left Rochefort on the night of the 30th ult. in consequence of a private, but positive communication, that an order had been received at the Custom-house to embargo all American vessels at Charante, and the other French ports and which would be carried into effect the following morning.
SPANISH AFFAIRS. Some details have just been received from Spain, which are highly interesting, and which strongly mark the national feelings. At Madrid, on the Plaza Maya, 4000 French troops were collected, with artillery mounted, and every other manifestation of hostile designs against the inhabitants. It is stated that this force was successively resisted by the populace, and that all ranks of persons united in publicly proclaiming their indignation at the conduct of these intruders. When Murat expostulated with the people, he observed, that his countrymen appeared not to injure, but to protect the Spanish people as friends; he was told that weapons of war were not necessary for the intercourse of friendship, and that the valor of the Spanish people was equal to their own protection. In another place a large body of French troops are said to have been disarmed and deprived of their cannon; the people declaring that, if they came as friends, they did not want cannon, and if as foes, it was proper for the Spaniards not to suffer them to have any.
ANOTHER DECREE! BY OUR "FRIENDS" Extracts of a letter from London dated May 9th, 1808. "The Mary, Kimball , and another ship, which failed from Ramsgate about 3 weeks ago have returned from Holland with their cargoes. They were 8 or 10 days in the Texel, and expected to get leave to land their cargoes, when a NEW DECREE of Bonaparte's arrived, on the 28th April, at Amsterdam, declaring ALL American vessels captured after the date of the Decree (17th April) to be good prize; because none could be legally at sea, but must be carrying on a British trade." According to the above Decree, the Emperor and King undertakes to say, that no American vessels can now legally be at sea, unless engaged in carrying on British Commerce. But this is only the particular pretence for this hostile measure against the U. States. All American vessels that are now at sea are legally so, because the Embargo Law did not require the vessels should return; therefore they are under the protection of the United States; but even all that are out, are not engaged in British Commerce, as some are on the N. W. Coast, some at Canton, some in the I. of France, some at Batavia, some in the River Plate, &c. &c.; many have failed with special permissions, some are employed in the fisheries, and some in the coasting trade. The terms of the decree, as we hear of them, are general; the apologists for the French, however, may say the fishermen and coasters are not intended. That we are to learn. But if no vessels were to be liable to capture under this new decree, but vessels engaged in British Commerce, why was it issued; since the Berlin and Milan Decrees directed that American vessels should be captured if engaged in that Commerce; if found going to or coming from any British place, or place where the British had troops; having British merchandise on board; having paid duties at a British Custom-house; or been examined by a British cruiser. Now under what circumstances, are the few Americans not in port, to suffer under French aggression by the new order?—If the decree is not definite who can say what vessels French privateers will spare? The Osage failed from L'Orient April 23.—This fresh attack on our neutrality was determined on just before she failed—and soon after the dispatches by her had reached Paris.
LONDON, MAY 10. Dutch papers to the 5th inst. have arrived. Our Readers will recollect, that we mentioned, a few days since, a report of Bonaparte's having signed, at Bayonne, a decree for new severities against American commerce. This decree has now reached Holland, and our extracts from the Dutch papers show how it has been acted upon. Capt. Daly, of the Newton , who is arrived in town, states, that the day after the Decree above alluded to, reached Amsterdam, several of the American ships were seized, although no charge was preferred against them of having been in an English Port, or been spoken by a British cruiser.
There can be no doubt but the French are confirmed in their determination to adhere to their resolution to break their treaty with us—and to continue their blockading decrees—by the support they receive from the Aurora and other democratic papers.
and seconded by the Hon. Mr. Gore, were unanimously adopted, viz.— It being of the greatest utility as well as moral fitness to pay public honors to the memory of those whose lives have been eminently useful; and it having pleased God to take from us FISHER AMES—a Man whose virtues and talents have honored the American name; the citizens of Boston are desirous to exhibit their sense of his exalted worth by a tribute of public respect:—It is therefore, unanimously Resolved , That in the name of this meeting the family of Mr. AMES, be respectfully requested to permit his Remains to be brought to this town, to be interred in the manner which a Committee appointed by this meeting shall prescribe. A committee of 12 was appointed to carry the above resolution into effect. Resolved , That the Committee of Arrangements be instructed in behalf of this meeting to apply to the Hon. SAMUEL DEXTER, and request him to pronounce, at the interment, an Address upon the melancholy occasion.
Agreeably to the Regulations, adopted by the Committee of Arrangements, the FUNERAL PROCESSION, of the Remains of the departed sage and patriot, took place, yesterday at 5 o'clock, from the dwelling house of the Hon. Christopher Gore, Park-street, and proceeded in the following Order through Winter and Marlborough-streets, Cornhill, Court and Tremont streets, to the Chapel.
ORDER OF PROCESSION. A Deputy Marshal, The Junior and Senior Classes of Harvard University, The Tutors and Professors, The Rev. Clergy of this and the neighboring Towns, The President of the University, Head Marshal, Committee of Arrangements, Officiating Clergyman,
THE CORPS. Hon. H. G. Otis, Hon. C. Gore, Hon. E. H. Robbins, Hon. G. Cabot, Hon. T. Parsons, Hon. T. Pickering, Relations, Neighbours and townsmen of the deceased, His Excellency the Governor and His Honor the Lt. Governor, Honorable Council, Secretary and Treasurer of State, Hon. President of the Senate and Speaker of the House, Judges of the Supreme Judicial Court, Judges of the U. States Circuit Court, Judges of the Common Pleas, and Municipal Courts, Members of Congress, Secretary of the Senate of the U. S. Attorney-General, Solicitor-General, and Reporter, Gentlemen of the Bar, Societies of which the deceased was a Member, viz. 1. Academy of Arts and Sciences—2. Humane Society—3. Agricultural Society—4. Historical Society. Town Officers. Strangers and Citizens.
When arrived at the Chapel, the body was placed before the altar; and divine services performed by the Rev. Mr. Montague, and Rev. Mr. Gardiner. After which the Hon. Samuel Dexter delivered to an uncommonly crowded auditory, a very eloquent and pathetic FUNERAL ORATION. The friends of Mr. Ames, who cherish the most sacred regard for his memory, were highly gratified that Mr. Dexter consented to pay the last sad tribute of respect to his remains, by pronouncing an Oration. No task is of more difficult execution; yet Mr. Dexter left nothing to desire. It requires congenial feelings, talents and virtue, to do justice to those we would commemorate. Such were the benevolent feelings, the splendid talents, and the pure virtues of the deceased, in every relation of life, that the loftiest strains of eloquence could not be miss applied; for they would not swell to panegyric. Mr. Dexter unites all the requisite attributes to pay due honors to the memory of his illustrious friend. His language is gorgeous, his arrangement is logical, his delineations are exact, his conceptions are comprehensive, his reflections are profound, and his manner is dignified. Without any design to overrate his great and original intellectual powers, we view him as one of the first orators of our country. The Concurrence of citizens was great beyond example. Every heart seemed to swell with grief; and every eye glistened with sorrow. A solemn silence proclaimed that "the loss of such a man at such a time," was irreparable to his country, his family, and his friends.
Portland, Monday, July 11, 1808.
FROM EUROPE. The last accounts from Europe inform, that Mr. Nourse (whose arrival in England was mentioned in our last) the bearer of dispatches to our Minister, Mr. Pinckney, at the Court of St. James, has left London, on his return to the United States. It appears by the latest intelligence, that affairs between this country and Great Britain remained much the same. Accounts from Holland state, that on the 17th of April, Bonaparte issued another decree against American commerce, which goes to make all our vessels legal subjects of capture which are found at sea, subsequent to that date. We have little or no doubt of the correctness of this intelligence. After the commission of so many insults and aggressions as have been committed on the citizens and property of the U. States, and which we are doomed to suffer, owing to the defenceless and unprotected situation of our commerce, it is not matter of astonishment, that there should be a single advocate for that policy which suffers it to continue? Yet there are many so blinded by party views and party prejudices, that they still continue zealous supporters of a system of measures which daily undermines and destroys the independence and prosperity of the United States.—Their opinion is, that Bonaparte can "do no wrong"—A democratic member of Congress has declared, that "whoever is opposed to Bonaparte, is an enemy to his country, and to God!!" An editor of a democratic paper, who advocates the election of Mr. Madison to the Presidency, declares that the French government has treated this country with moderation and friendship! Mr. Randolph has declared, that Mr. Madison has said, "France wants money and must have it."
AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE. The anniversary of this national event, was celebrated by the Federalists of Portland in a manner evincive of their zeal for peace, freedom and prosperity of the country. Having assembled at Union Hall , they proceeded from thence to the Rev. Mr. Kellogg's Meeting House, where, after the performance of excellent Music, a truly elegant and classic Oration was pronounced by WILLIAM FREEMAN, Esq. fraught with the soundest political and moral principles; after which, the subscribers to the Public Dinner returned to Union Hall and partook of a sumptuous Entertainment provided for the occasion. Hon. WOODBURY STORER presided; M. COBB and E. MAYO, Esqrs. officiated as Vice Presidents.

The 4th of March, 1809.—May we on that day celebrate the triumph of those principles which gave birth to this.

The county of Cumberland.—The returning Prodigal, having fed among the swine, is tired of the husks they eat. Our next elections.—May a gun-boat administration go into "dignified retirement," and "oppressed humanity" have an "asylum" where foreign influence shall have intruded in vain.

As its force is principally directed against our own citizens, surely there is wisdom in reducing it! The Young Federalists of Portland. The pledges of our country's strength; the promise of her aspiring hopes; and the proof of her future greatness. It is with pride and pleasure, we record the proceedings of the Young Federal Republicans who celebrated the birth day of their country's Freedom and Independence, at Columbia Hall . This company was composed of the free-born sons of America: may they continue to cherish those correct principles which shall preserve Columbia's Freedom, Independence and Prosperity to the latest period of time. The Hall was ornamented with the portraits of WASHINGTON, ADAMS & C. C. PINCKNEY. The three administrations of the general government was very appropriately represented by two Ships and a gun-boat. At one end of the Hall was exhibited a Frigate , representing WASHINGTON's administration; at the other, ADAMS' administration was distinguished by a SEVEN-FOUR ; and in a remote corner, the genius of Mr. Jefferson's administration was represented by a gun-boat . After the cloth was removed, the following toasts were drank with applause:
1. The fabric of American Independence. Raised by the hands of Patriotism; and cemented by the blood of departed worth. 2. The memory of those whose lives made a part of the welfare of our country, as their names do of her glory; and whose death melted all parties into one family.—Washington and Hamilton. 3. National wrongs. "God and our Rights," for our motto, and "God and our Rights," for our watchword. 4. Sophie Armstrang's Lament . . . . "To seek hot water beneath cauld ice, It surely is a great folly. "I asked grace at a graceless face, But there is none for my men and me." 5. Our Foreign Relations.

The Emigrant Kingdom of Portugal.—The noble christians are welcome to America. 13. The town of Portland.—As beautiful as ever, but that beauty wears too much the air of a Lætic. Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? 14. Bowdoin College:— "Though unfinished, How excellent in art, and still how rising!" 15. The young Gentlemen of the District. 16. The blooming and sparkling Laws of Maine.—Many a tender thought brings them to the memory of this festive board. 17.

VOLUNTEERS. The enlightened People of Massachusetts.—May they continue to triumph over the rage of democracy; and cherish the pure principles of Freedom and Federalism in their bosoms. Commerce of the United States:—May it not be mutilated like the Abyssinian heifer; but instead of an amputated haunch, exhibit the distended round; and when destined to the common Butcher, may it not submit without a struggle.
North Yarmouth, July 4, 1808. The Anniversary of American Independence was celebrated in this town, with a spirit not unworthy the descendants of patriotic Ancestors. At 12 o'clock, a procession was formed at Mr. Amos Ordway's Hall, and moved to the Baptist Meetinghouse, in the following order: Military Escort, Orator and President of the day, Committee of Arrangements, Selectmen, Citizens and Strangers.

After the performance of appropriate Music, the Throne of Grace was addressed by the Rev. Thomas Green, in a solemn and impressive manner; subsequent to which, an animated Oration was pronounced by the Hon. AMMI R. MITCHELL, Esq.; in which the ruinous tendency and effects of a visionary, philosophic , and anti-commercial policy, were correctly and energetically described. The procession then returned to the Hall, where the company partook of a public Dinner, provided for the occasion.
Col. John Lawrence officiated as President, and Mr. Nathaniel Jenkins as Vice President.
The Cloth being removed, the following Toasts were drank:—
 1. American Independence .—God forbid that we should ever become slaves, while inhabiting that country, whose bosom contains the bones of our Forefathers.  2. Massachusetts .—Having retaken high ground, may she never retreat.  3. The Embargo .—'Tis said some muskets so contrive it, "As oft to miss the mark they drive at; And tho' well aim'd at duck or plover, "Dear will, and kick their owners o'er."  4. American Sailors .—Resorting to the Hoe and the Spade by Executive recommendation, may they escape being impressed by legal land-lubbers.  5. The Fisheries .—"Something is rotten in the State of Denmark."  6. The Wasp and Hornet .—May they chase every Cock-roach from the ocean.  7. President Jefferson's Circular to Gov. Sullivan .—If we must be starved, may we have the pleasure of starving according to Law.  8.

Washington .—The patriot, the hero and the sage: may the liberties of our country be commensurate with his fame.  11. National Justice .—The surest foundation of national prosperity.  12. The memory of PEALE : The naval hero, the thunder of whose little squadron in other times, shook the coast of Barbary, and appalled the tyrant of Tripoli.  13. Literary and Religious Institutions .—The firmest pillars in the temple of Freedom.  14. The Clergy .—May they correct, inspire and moralize the age.  15. The Fair .—May they ever be as conspicuous for their patriotism, as for the "blushing honors" of modesty and virtue.  16. The United States .—Relying on their own resources and energies, may they never be entangled in foreign alliances.  17. The Emperor of France .—E're we submit to this haughty conqueror, may we forget our ancestors, burn our history, and write slave on our foreheads. 
FROM CAMDEN.
THE Birth Day of our national Independence was celebrated at Camden in truly American stile.
Capt. Gregory's company of Cavalry and capt. Foot's company of Light Infantry paraded in honor of the day, and formed an escort for a number of respectable Citizens of Camden and the adjoining towns to the meeting house—when, after a pertinent prayer by the Rev. Mr. Cochran, an elegant and truly patriotic Oration was delivered by Capt. Foote, in which the orator reviewed correctly the rise and progress of this western Empire—judiciously compared the situation of this with other countries; lamented the unhappy divisions in America, and portrayed in striking colors, the baleful effects of party spirit.—An appropriate ode was then sung and the procession returned to William Parkman, Esq's., where a large company partook of a sumptuous dinner.
Seventeen toasts were drank from which we select the following.
The Day .—May every return of this anniversary be celebrated by Americans with increasing patriotism.
Our Ministers abroad .—May they represent America as holding out the Olive Branch to all nations: bowing the knee to none.
The Blackening decrees of November 1806 .—A new invented system for the destruction of Neutral Commerce.
British orders in Council .—When retaliating on their enemies may they learn to respect neutral rights.
Re-escalation : All against neutral's—May he who would forbid supplying ships at sea, be himself placed on the middle of the Atlantic in a leaky ship, dismasted, and out of provisions.
The District of Maine .—May its hardy inhabitants maintain their Independence with the firmness of their stately forests, and the regularity of their rolling tides.
Our Fishermen, who hall up riches from the Deep .—May their well founded claim on their country be never neglected.
The Clouds hanging over our political and natural atmosphere in no degree dampened the gaiety and hilarity of the scene, and the happy union of all parties in celebrating the return of this memorable era, was peculiarly gratifying.
The company separated at an early hour, and order and regularity uniformly prevailed.
Boothbay, July 5, 1808.
FOURTH OF JULY.
The day, here, was ushered in by the discharge of seventeen guns. At 11 o'clock, a large number of citizens of Boothbay and Edgecomb, being assembled at the house of Mr. David Kennas-kan, chose Wm. Mc Cobb, Esq. Presi-
dent. A procession formed a little be-
fore 12 o'clock, at noon, and, attended with martial music, proceeded to the meeting house, where pieces of music were first performed—then the throne of grace addressed in a well adapted prayer, which was followed by music. After which an ingenious and patriotic Oration was pronounced by the Rev. Jabez Pond Fisher, which was succeeded by music, suited to the subject and circumstances of the day. The procession then again formed, and proceeded to Mount North, where, after partaking of an elegant dinner, the following toasts were drunken, accompanied with guns, cheers, &c.
 1. The Day we celebrate; sacred to liberty, our political rights, and social festivity. May no foreign interference, nor domestic broils, ever prevent the enjoyment of it.  2. The States. May their union continue till the waves cease to roll.  3. The President of the United States. May he be wise as an angel of light, remove heavy burdens, and let the oppressed go free.  4. Massachusetts. May her success in retrieving her character be complete.  5. Governor Sullivan. May he profit by his new associates.  6. The next Election of President. May it result in a Washington.  7. The Arts and Sciences. May they be encouraged as things of primary importance in a Federal Republic.  8. Agriculture and Commerce; wings of our national prosperity. May no unhappy event any longer impede their progress.  9. Our Nation. May it not bend like the willow, but, like the stately oak, stand firm on the basis of the Constitution.  10. Rulers and People of Europe. May they learn war no more.  11. The American Fair; brightest progeny of heaven. May they be the only officers employed in the recruiting service.  12. Our young Americans. May they familiarize the history of the American revolution, imbibe the spirit, and applaud the sentiments of the times which tried men's souls.  13. The Clergy. May they never be persecuted for exercising their constitutional rights.  14. The harbor of Boothbay, eminently good. Neither soldiers, nor fortifications, nor gun-boats, to make the people submit to the iron rod and galling chains of tyranny.  15. Present distressing Times & Measures. Avant! and never more return.  16. Existing differences with foreign powers. May they be happily adjusted, and the present impediments of our national commerce speedily removed.  17. The Squatters of Maine. May the contemplated settlement of their land titles speedily take place. 
VOLUNTEERS.
After Mr. Fisher retired, the following was given by Mr. E. Wilson: The Orator of the Day—May each around the festive board imbibe his sentiments. By Mr. J. M. Cobb.
Advocates of the Embargo!—To the right about face: March. By Mr. J. Auld.
Boothbay—May it in future also, if occasion require, be in the front rank of sections of the United States, in returning to correct principles. By Mr. J. Mc Clintock.—The Embargo. Oh may it speedily depart, with honor on its wing, [sing. And every true American our freedom]
Warren, July 6, 1808.
Our National birth-day was celebrated in this place with that spirit and hilarity which the occasion ought ever to inspire. The dawn of day was saluted by the artillery. About noon, a procession, consisting of the Library Society, and a large number of other citizens of this and the neighboring towns, was escorted to the meeting-house by the military, where the throne of grace was addressed by the Rev. Mr. Hase; after which a very elegant Oration was delivered by Ebenezer Thatcher, Esq. Several pieces of music were performed in a handsome style, by a choir of singers, accompanied by the band. Upon returning to the Hall, the company sat to well furnished tables; and after dinner, drank seventeen Toasts, under the discharge of the Warren and Thomaston Artillery. The following were among the toasts given on the occasion.
Our National Independence.—May it ever be maintained with a spirit purely American, equally remote from undue attachment, and from servile obsequiousness to foreign powers.
Commerce.—Though dead and buried, may its departed spirit haunt the halls of Congress, and write upon the Presidential palace the prophetic denunciation, "Mene tekel upharsin."
The Fisheries.—The nursery of seamen, and support of commerce: May those whose farms are on the deep soon be permitted to plow that farm for subsistence.
The Coastwise Trade.—May it be no longer hampered by unnecessary and unconstitutional restrictions: Let not the American people be compelled to receive bread by "allowance."
American Seamen.—May we have a government which will protect them with something more than Proclamations, but will not sacrifice our commerce, or embroil the nation to protect foreign deserters.
The Embargo.—A tragedy in five "acts"—followed by an afterpiece called four licenses—may the actors be hissed from the stage, and the authors consigned to infamy.
VOLUNTEERS.
Demagogues and Disorganizers.—While they plot the subversion of the Constitution, and the destruction of good men, may they, like Haman of old, be hanged upon their own gallows fifty cubits high.
Our Representative in Congress.—May the people soon relieve him from the burden of legislation: Better that he should
make those speeches to the "thaverse jury," than sanction southern measures to annihilate commerce and ruin his constituents.
NEAR HOME.
Effects of the Embargo .—A Cow and Calf, and two tons of Hay were taken by execution a few days since in Wolfborough, N. H. and sold at auction for seven dollars, not enough to pay the cost of Court.— Portsmouth Int.
The Collector of this port thinking an article headed "Embargo" in the last Gazette, would give an unfavourable idea of the conduct of the Custom-House Officers, we readily state, that the paragraph was published with no such intention, as it respects that affair; we believe their official duties were discharged with vigilance and fidelity.
POSTSCRIPT.—By yesterday's Mail.
Arrival of the Osage.
The United States dispatch ship Osage, Capt. DUPLEX, arrived at New-York, on Tuesday last, in 48 days from Falmouth.—Mr. LEWIS, the messenger, arrived in her, with dispatches, said to be highly important, from our Ministers in France and Great-Britain, with which he proceeded immediately to Washington. Mr. LOURSE, the other messenger, having some Mercantile business to transact remains in England.—CENT.
The dispatches brought by the Osage have been forwarded to Washington: of their contents we can state nothing with certainty, but we hope for once Mr. Jefferson's Cabinet will conduct on his once favourite maxim that, "in a republic there should be no secrets."
The opinion in London was that America would preserve peace with England.
It is stated one of the Spanish provinces in South America has been ceded to Bonaparte!
It appears the Swedes have been defeated in Norway.
Bonaparte has confided the administration of the government of Portugal to the new King of Spain till a general peace, who is shortly to marry one of the Bonaparte family.—All American vessels are Embargoed in France.
The French squadrons have returned to Toulon.

Worthy. The following beautiful parody on that justly admired Song, "Protect the British Fair" was sung with much taste and spirit by the company at Columbia Hall , in this town, at the celebration of the late Anniversary of American Freedom:—
THE NEGLECTED FAIR. Of Columbia's boast he prate be mine; What's that, but American beauty? With rapture I'd invoke the wine, Ye men, learn hence your duty: The sex were blessings all design'd, With rapture then enjoy them; Nor so debase a female mind, To conquer, then destroy them. Then, O protect Columbia's fair, Be mindful of your duty; May vengeance ne'er the villain spare, A foe to love and beauty.
That tender form you first reduc'd, Why is it now neglected? Behold her sad by grief reduc'd, Pale, meagre and dejected! Behold her begging with a sigh, Behold her disregar'd! Then view the anguish in her eye, And say, is love rewarded? Then, O protect, &c.
Each female heart is free from guile, 'Till crafty men infect it; With artful tale, or magic wile, He wins, and then neglects it: Her pining soul finds no relief, Sad tears flow fast and melt her; Her o'er fraught bosom burn with grief, And in the grave finds shelter! Then, O protect, &c.
When fortune frowns and friends forsake, Still lovely woman cheers us; Our grief or raptures they partake, Dilfrettes but endure us; While man's professions all will fly, Nor dying will abet you; But meet your corpse as passing by, And with a sigh forget you. Then, O protect, &c.
While round your bed the mourning fair Hangs like a drooping willow, Each pang or sigh ill-anxious share, Nor leave your woeful pillow!— Then charge your glasses to the fair, May beauty ne'er be slighted— That source of bliss, by whom we are Conceiv'd, brought forth, delighted. Then, O protect, &c.
Select Paragraphs.
In consequence of the EMBARGO, the United States have suffered a loss of FORTY-EIGHT MILLIONS of dollars, which sum (at 17 dollars, to the pound weight) would weigh two millions, eight hundred and twenty-three pounds weight; and it would require to carry it, one thousand two hundred and sixty wagons, (allowing each waggon to carry one ton gross weight) and the distance such wagons would occupy (allowing each waggon 73 feet) would be seventeen miles. Forty-eight million of dollars, placed edge to edge, in a straight line, would extend over a space of one thousand and thirty four miles.
The above sum would be sufficient to furnish one hundred and twenty sail of the line, completely furnished for a twelve month's cruise. [Carlisle Herald.]

UNDOUBTED COURAGE.
Mr. Boswell, in his tour to Corsica, relates a remarkable anecdote, which general Paoli told him. At the siege of Tortona, an Irish officer in the service of Naples, was ordered to advance with a detachment to a particular post. Having his orders, he whispered to Carew, "Sir, I know you to be a gallant man, I have therefore put you on this duty, which I tell you in confidence, is certain death to you and your men; I place you there to make the enemy spring a mine below." Carew made a bow to the General, and led on his men in silence to the dreadful post. He there stood with an undaunted countenance, and having saluted to one of his soldiers for a draught of wine, "Here," said he, "I drink to all those who bravely fall in battle." Fortunately, at that instant, Tortona capitulated, and Carew escaped, after displaying a rare instance of determined intrepidity.
The marchioness Bathurst hearing it said that Virginia was women's richest treasure, replied, "It is very difficult to keep that treasure long, of all but every man has a key."
