Poetry.
THE HONEST MAN.
ALL are not just, because they do no wrong: But he who will not wrong me when he may, Who is the truly just. I praise not them Who in their petty dealings pilfer not; But him whose conscience spurns a secret fraud, Where he might plunder and defy surprize. His be the praise, who, looking down with scorn On the false judgment of the partial herd, Consults his own dear heart and boldly dares To be (not merely to be thought) an HONEST MAN.

"For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?"
THERE cannot be a surer criterion by which to judge of a man's character, than the government of his family. At the fire side, the man is completely unmasked, and whatever face he may carry to the world, in the domestic circle his disguise will be wholly laid aside. Here, his vices will certainly discover themselves, and here also, his virtues will shine with greater lustre. The character of parents, may generally be known by the behavior of their children; and when they allow their offspring in every kind of irregularity and excess, or do not take proper measures to restrain their vicious inclinations, the weight of the guilt must rest on themselves. Many parents and heads of families do not pay proper attention to the morals of the several branches of the family, and foolishly suppose that while their dependants refrain from the grosser kind of wickedness, it is immaterial what principles they imbibe. They will also say, that a strictness in family discipline, only serves to drive youth to dissipation, &c. But they argue very falsely. They do not consider that being the natural guardians of their children, it belongs to them alone to form the young mind to virtue, to rear and nurture with care the tender plant, so that it may hereafter become a beautiful pillar in the temple of God.
I would by no means advocate a system of family government, resembling the "iron rule of an austere tyrant;" but, let parents guard with "unwinking vigilance" the children committed to their charge, and not leave them to form their manners in a kitchen, or their morals in a grog-shop. Parents would do well to remember the denunciation against Eli, who, though a just man, walking uprightly before the Lord, and fulfilling all his statutes, was made a curse, together with his posterity, because he had not restrained the wickedness of his family. 'Tis true there are instances of the most abandoned characters, being bred in the most regular families, and under the direction of pious parents; but the number is comparatively small. Parents ought not to suffer any consideration whatever, to deter them from faithfully discharging their obligations to God and their own consciences; but let the consequences be what they may, persevere in every known duty of this kind, and be active in correcting not only the manners, but the minds and morals of their children. This is the only way to rule their own house properly, and they may rest assured, that until they do this, they cannot be trusted with the care of the church of God.

Political Spicellany.
FROM THE NEW-HAVEN JOURNAL
We have had some time on file a communication from Mr. Enos Warner, late one of the democratic selection of Roxbury (Litchfield county) requesting us to lay it before the public. Not acquainted with the writer, and being anxious to communicate nothing to our readers undeserving of credit, we deferred its publication till inquiry was made. By these we learn that Mr. W. is, and has been, what he represents, and believe him a very worthy man fully entitled to confidence. The length of his communication makes it inconvenient to admit the whole; but in abridging it we have confined ourselves chiefly to his own words, and in no case departed from his meaning.
Mr. Warner begins with observing that, "having been long known as a republican (or democrat,) but perceiving what he believed good cause for changing his sentiments, he accordingly at the last town-meeting in Roxbury, publicly declared himself a federalist. He was at the same time induced to pledge himself to assign his reasons for the change in some public print—Mindful of his promise he gives this for the purpose aforesaid. But (he continues) perhaps it is necessary first to state the motives which induced me to be what is called a republican—they were these: I had heard and seen it a thousand times repeated, and was actually persuaded into the belief, that the federalists wished and were endeavoring to establish a king, with an hereditary succession—That the presbyterian clergy were seeking to render themselves independent of the people and to form a hierarchy over them—that the federalists in office had too large salaries. That if we put republicans in their places salaries would be lessened—That no man ought to be in office more than four years—That, in Connecticut we had no constitution, and were little better than slaves. These with numerous other assertions of the like nature, wrought very forcibly on my mind; and being (as I have already said) so often and boldly repeated, made me finally think they must be true.—Consistent with this, I became a determined republican, acted sincerely and uniformly with, and was justly accounted among their number.—But I met with things which, at times, staggered my republican faith. Among these, was the constant abuse of the clergy, not only in the republican papers but also in private—one saying, he wishes they were not allowed so much liberty—another, that they are the worst class of men on earth—a third, that they shall not vote for our rulers—and some so malignant, that I have heard them say, that they wished they had their heads!"
Mr. W. deplores, with the feelings of a christian, the little regard paid by the party with whom he has acted, to the religious qualifications of their candidates for office. He thinks that "no man can claim to be a patriot who is without the influence of religious principles;" he inquires, "does any christian believe that, were our Saviour now upon earth, he would approve the appointment of men to rule over a christian nation, who disregard and hate his religion? To show the necessity of this influence on society, he again pertinently asks, "what would become of justice in our courts, if it's religious tie of an oath were to desert them?"
Mr. W. proceeds. "There are irreconcilable inconsistencies between the professions and conduct of the republicans.—They contend for an equality of rights, and yet it is reduced to a maximum with them, never to vote for a federalist, however deserving he may be. They exclaim continually for universal suffrage; and yet in the same breath, declare that a whole body of men (the clergy) shall not be suffered to vote at all. When they take the freeman's oath they swear to be true to the constitution of Connecticut; and yet go away asserting there is no constitution on.—By some republicans, I know, it is allowed we have a constitution, but then in works they deny it."
"Again, where is the honor, or honesty, or consistency, to cry out as they did, against the former officers of the general government for receiving too high salaries, thereby taking bread from the mouth of labor; and then receiving the same or more themselves? It appears to me that the most of those who pretend to be republicans, make refractory and turbulent citizens.—Look into the states where the federalists are completely over-ruled, and behold the republicans split into dreadful factions and alleging the most shocking crimes against one another. Go into the state of New-York—there I have myself been and can therefore say—that the very men who were the most forward in electing the present governor, are now, because he does not bestow all the honor and profit of offices upon themselves, pouring forth the vilest abuse in our language upon him. I might say more on every topic mentioned, but it seems to me that enough is already said, to justify me in changing my political principles, I have been blamable—I have been ungrateful, inasmuch as I endeavoured to supplant my rulers, who are wise and honest and faithful, and who in office have done well. I have given occasion for others to speak lightly of the religion I profess. For all these errors my only excuse is, I have been deceived—I have been blinded—by false reports and by designing men."
Mr. W. concludes with stating, "As to the town-meeting which was appointed on Christmas day, and which has caused so much offence to the Episcopalian in this and other towns, I now publicly declare, I had no hand in the proceeding; although at the time of the selection at the time, yet I was not consulted, and notwithstanding my name appeared on the notification, it was done without my consent. ENOS WARNER." Roxbury, March 30, 1807.

Foreign Intelligence.
By late arrivals at the Southward from various parts of Europe.
FRENCH GRAND ARMY.
SIXTY-FIFTH BULLETIN.
Ostrow, 10th March, 1807.
Having been informed, on the 1st of March, that the enemy had shewed themselves all along the right bank of the Pasage, the Emperor ordered Marshals Soult and Ney to reconnoitre, and to advance and repulse them. The enemy immediately made a general movement, and retreated towards Königsberg. Their posts, which had retired in great haste, were pursued three leagues. Seeing that the French did not make any other movement, and that they were pursued only by the advanced guards, who had left their regiments, two regiments of Russian grenadiers returned back, and in the night approached the cantonment of Zochern. The 50th regiment received them with the bayonet. The 28th and 30th behaved in the same manner.
In these little combats, the Russians have had 1000 men killed, wounded or prisoners.
After being thus assured of the movements of the enemy, the army has returned to its cantonments.
The grand duke of Berg informed that a corps of cavalry had approached Wiltemberg, caused it to be attacked by Prince Borghese, who at the head of his regiment, charged eight Russian squadrons, overthrew, and put them to the route, and made about 100 prisoners, amongst whom are 3 captains, and 8 subalterns.
Marshal Lefebvre has entirely surrounded Danzig, and has begun at that place the works of circumvallation.
SIXTY-SIXTH BULLETIN.
Ostrow, March 14.
The grand army continues in cantonments, where it is taking repose. Little combats have taken place between the advanced posts of the two armies. Two regiments of Russian cavalry came on the 12th to disturb the 60th regiment of infantry of the line in its cantonment of Lingnau, and before Gustadt. One battalion of that regiment took arms, ambushed themselves, and fired close to the enemy, who left 80 men on the field. General Guyot, who commanded the advanced posts of Marshal Soult, has had several engagements which have terminated to his advantage.
After the little battle of Wiltemberg, the grand duke of Berg has driven all the Cossacks from the right bank of the Elbe, in order to assure himself that the enemy was not concealing some movement. He came to Wartenburg, Seeburg, Meusgeln, and Bischoffsberg. He had some engagements with the enemy's cavalry, and has made about 100 Cossacks prisoners.
The Russian army have begun to concentrate on the coast of Bartenstein on the Alle; a Russian division on the coast of Crentzburg.
The enemy has made a movement of one day's march towards Königsberg. The whole of the French army is cantoned.
General Toulier has invested Colberg. A division of 12,000 Bavarians, commanded by the prince royal of Bavaria, has passed the Vistula at Warsaw, and has rejoined the army.
RUSSIAN OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.
"Königsberg, Feb. 22, 1807." "General Sedmoratzky, who has just effected a junction with my army, has brought with him 1400 Prussian prisoners, from 240 to 300 Frenchmen, and a great deal of baggage, which he has taken from the enemy. The retrograde march of Bonaparte rather resembles flight than a retreat. It is solely to the swiftness of our Cossack's horses that we are indebted for the enormous quantity of prisoners that have been daily made since the battle of Eylau. The day before yesterday they took 200, yesterday 150 and to-day 335, 4 officers, besides baggage waggons, forage and provisions. Every thing that we can come up with is taken. The French soldiers, dazed with hunger and fatigue, no longer feel a disposition to defend themselves. At the mere sight of our troops they throw away their arms and demand bread. My advanced posts are at Leibstadt. The whole army is in full march. My head quarters alone remain at Königsberg, as my health and the extreme fatigue I have undergone, compel me to take a few moments of repose here. I set out to-morrow. The Prussian division, commanded by general Pritzker, is at the extremity of my right wing on the heights of Brandeburg. General Sedmoratzky, and general Lestock, form together my left wing. The grand army is in the centre; and in this order we advance toward the Vistula, embracing Thorn on one side and Elbing on the other. I hope my troops will soon shew themselves on the other side of that river. In the mean time, my advanced guard, reinforced by general Pritzker's Cossacks, a considerable part of whom have already reached their destination, pursue the enemy without relaxation, and harass them by their petty warfare, which is as strange to them as it is advantageous to us. BENNIGSEN."
AUSTRIA.
A strong rumor again prevails, that Austria has drawn the sword against France. DOVER, MARCH 30.—By a ship which arrived in the Roads this afternoon from the Texel, we learn that accounts had reached Holland of the Austrians having taken the field against the French, and that the latter were retreating out of Poland in all directions. It was ascertained that the diplomatic corps had already arrived at Berlin, and had brought miserable accounts of the state of the French army.
BRITISH SUBSIDIES.
A letter from Göttingen states, that part of the 500,000 sent by the British government to the emperor of Russia, had been detained at that place. The probability, however, is, that the part alluded to has been allowed to remain at Göttingen, as part of the subsistence due by Russia to Sweden. The bullion left there for that purpose, is contained in 64 casks, of 5,000 lbs. each.
BRITISH INTREPIDITY.
Altona, March 24.—On the 19th instant, the French toll-ship stationed at Stad, carrying 12 guns and 75 men (soldiers and sailors) was boarded by 2 boats belonging to the British frigate stationed off the mouth of the Elbe, and carried without the loss of a man on the part of the British.
LONDON, APRIL 2.
We daily expect to hear of a great battle in Poland. The French intend to turn the left wing of the Russians. There Massena will be opposed to Essen.
Yesterday Lord Erskine delivered up the great seal as Lord High Chancellor, and it was presented to Lord Eldon.
The Danish Government, it is said, have given official notice, that they shall view with pleasure the appearance of a British fleet in the Baltic.—The Danish Government, it is reported, have given orders to its subjects, to furnish the French troops in the Baltic with every thing in their power.
From FRANKFORT, MARCH 15.
"For some days past there has been a report of a three-fold alliance between France, Persia, and the Porte. Some say it is already signed by the two latter powers, and that France will accede to it."
"The news from Vienna continues to wear the most pacific complexion. We are assured, that Bar on St. Vincent's mission to Warsaw has had the happiest consequences; and that Austria will now exert all her influence at St. Petersburg to induce Russia to make peace; but, say these advices, if contrary to all expectation, the efforts of the court of Vienna are not crowned with success, Austria will be more determined than ever to remain neutral during the present contest."
STUTGARD, MARCH 14.
"The reports of an armistice are still in circulation; and, it is added, that since the mediation of the Court of Austria has been offered, the Emperor Napoleon has expressed his willingness to treat with Russia, upon the conditions offered by M. D'Oubril. We mention these things merely as rumors."
By the Mails.
BOSTON, MAY 21.
NATIONAL RESPECT.
The last southern papers furnish us with the answer of Capt. Love, to the letter sent him by the commandant of the U. S. fort, at Charleston:
"REBELLION ROAD, MAY 3."
"SIR.—I have received your letter; and having some doubts as to the authority by which it was written, I thought proper to satisfy myself on that head before I should reply. By the threat it contains, you appear like your government to have something to learn. A British subject knows too well how to respect and obey the laws of his country, to offer intentionally, an outrage on those of others, when once they are known to be so. But I have to observe, the Proclamation you mention to have been issued in May, 1807, I know nothing of; of that issued in May, 1806, I have only to say, that so far from being either creditable or becoming in the president of a country, wishing to be ranked amongst the civilized nations of the earth, it would, in the opinion of liberal and enlarged minds, have disgraced even the sanguinary pen of a Robespierre, or the most miserable petty State in Barbary. It appears that the supposed offence is to be rendered by a repetition of the circumstances complained of, and that on those who, so far from having any thing to do with the supposed aggression, were not even on or near the American coast at the time. And as Capt. Whibley's trial may, probably, at this moment be pending, with the concurrence of the United States, and the Proclamation resting on its being brought to justice, it ought to have been brought of. However, as my proceeding to sea comes within the limits of my intentions, according to the orders I am under, I shall do so whenever the pilot thinks proper—which orders have for their view the advantage of the American flag, as well as the protection of the British. But I must observe that the difficulty I have experienced in obtaining a sufficient quantity of water, for the purposes I wish, oblige me to have recourse to such methods as are completely within my power, which I otherwise should not have thought of. In the mean time it is necessary to inform you, that his Majesty's ship under my command is at all times ready to resist, and punish any insult that may be offered to the flag she has the honor to bear, to the last drop of blood that shall remain of the dutiful and loyal subjects of a beloved sovereign, and an exalted country. I have the honor to be, Sir your humble servant, "WILLIAM LOVE."

British Treaty. —It is a curious circumstance, that when a bargain is made both parties should be dissatisfied with it; yet this is the case with the British treaty. In England the people say that it is better for America than for England, and in America we say that it is too good for England, but not good enough for America.—It would certainly be a very desirable circumstance, that the American people should have an opportunity of reading it, and judging for themselves. Mr. Jefferson has declared that, of all the articles it contains, two only are exceptionable.—Have Messrs. Monroe and Pinckney dared to exceed their instructions?—This is a subject in which every one is deeply interested—let the instructions of the Ministers be shown, if they have exceeded them, let them be recalled with disgrace. If the treaty contains such obnoxious articles as cannot be accepted, without a sacrifice of our national honor or our independence, let
it be shown to the people, and their patriotism will spurn it from their country.—But if these things cannot be proved, we hope that the country will not be kept in jeopardy, to gratify a corroding animosity against Great-Britain.— Carol. Messenger.
From PLYMOUTH, May 18.
"The sch. Betsey, Capt. Paty, arrived here this day in 44 days from Malaga.—The American Consul handed the following memorandum to Capt. P. just before he sailed."
"By letters from Algiers, dated Feb. 22, we learn, that the Dey has declared war against Tunis. Two Algerine frigates had sailed, and another was to follow in a few days, for the purpose, as was supposed, of blockading Tunis. A number of xebecs and gun-boats were getting ready, artillery, shipping and accommodations for troops preparing in the vessels, from which it was inferred that a very spirited attack on Tunis was intended."
Such is the increasing prosperity of England, that the war can be carried on for three years, without any additional tax. This report of the Chancellor of the Exchequer does not look like a national bankruptcy, which the Jacobins for years past have been wishing and procuring.
Capt Kelly, at Baltimore, left Malta on the 26th of February, at which time it was reported that the British had taken possession of the Dardanelles, two Turkish Castles, which command the Strait of Gallipoli. If the English have got and can retain possession of these Castles, they may control the trade of Constantinople, and prevent any Turkish men of war from getting into the Mediterranean; but as the Strait is long and very narrow, and the Turks beside have fortifications at the straight of Constantinople, the Russians would still not be able to pass from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean.
French Squadron. —An English paper of March 24, says, a squadron of 5 ships, 2 frigates, and five sloops of war, have escaped from Brest. The Rochfort squadron have recently been out of the harbor, but an unfavorable wind springing up they were obliged to put back.
The U. S. frigate Constitution, arrived at Algiers March 20, with Mr. Consul Lear, from Tunis. Dispatches for Government from Mr. Lear, have been bro't by the Wm. Gray, arrived at Salem.
We hear from Cincinnati, that at a court there held the 2d week of April, Charles Vatter was convicted on the charge of having stolen the sum of 47 thousand dollars, from the receiver of public monies at that place. He was sentenced to return to James Findley, from whom the money was taken, the sum of 92,000 dollars—to suffer three months imprisonment—to pay a fine of 200 dollars—to receive ten lashes on the bare back on the 23d of May, and to stand committed until the sentence in complied with.— Wash. Fed.
Cotton Factory. at Patterson, New-Jersey, was destroyed by fire on the night of the 10th inst. including all the machinery and a quantity of unmanufactured cotton. The loss is estimated at upwards of 20,000 dollars.
IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION.
In the district court of Pennsylvania, on Monday morning, May 4th, the argument of Marshall versus the Delaware Insurance Company, on the case of the Rolla, was closed, and judgment given for the defendants—"but they are only liable for an average loss." The principles of the decision are highly important, deciding, for the first time expressly,
 1. That the state of fact, not of the intelligence, at the time of the abandonment, must decide the question of total or average loss.  2. That capture and restitution before abandonment, though not known here, defeats the claim for a total loss.  3. That the property being safe, although not actually in the possession of the assured, the right to abandon, and claims as for a total loss, cannot be exercised, at a period subsequent, with or without notice of the fact here. On this point, however, Judge Washington only declared the leaning of his mind; as he thought, the fact of actual restitution to the insured, before the hour of abandonment, sufficiently established by the evidence in the case of the Rolla.

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.
It is with pleasure we announce to the public that the life of Washington, by Ramsay, is ready for and will be put to press in a few days in this city. Several gentlemen, who have seen the manuscript, do not hesitate to pronounce it, what would naturally be expected from the author and the subject, a work of the most classic elegance. It will be comprised in one volume octavo, and printed in an elegant manner.— Phi. pap.
Judge Workman, in declining a controversy with an anonymous writer against him in the N. Orleans papers says, "God knows my pen sank low enough when it descended to gov. Claiborne; but if you are not as great a coward as you are a blockhead, leave your old name with the printer."
FOR THE GAZETTE.
NO OFFICE SEEKER....No. III.
IT has been the uniform plan of the democratic writers, in their opposition to the federalists, to assume false premises, and then draw inferences as tho' the ground of their reasoning was true.
Thousands of honest and well meaning citizens have been enlisted on the side of democracy by this mode of deception. It is a fact that in no way can the public sentiment be so easily rendered subservient to the schemes of ambitious and designing men, as by an appeal to prejudices and passions natural to freemen.
The Americans cherish a laudable zeal for liberty, and a just abhorrence of arbitrary power. Hence the aspiring demagogue commences his career by paying court to the people, by professing an ardent attachment to their rights and liberties, and by exciting jealousies against those who are distinguished for talents and independence; and representing them as enemies to freedom, whilst those who, conscious of their integrity and the purity of their motives, scorn to notice the vile calumnies which every unprincipled wretch in society can level at the most worthy characters in the country. But the evil on this account is not less fatal in its effect.—When charges are brought against an individual, or class of men, few possess the necessary information to test their truth or falsehood.
No services, however long and faithful, can shield a character against this mode of attack; and whilst the grossest falsehoods and vilest insinuations can be made with impunity against those who are appointed to administer the government, there will be no safety in society, or protection from the laws.
I have been led to these reflections by perusing the DEMOCRATIC CIRCULAR , which virtually charges Governor STRONG, and the Federalists who have held any offices in the state government, with being usurpers ! The signers of that address declare, that if the democratic party should prevail, "the liberty of the state should be rescued from the toils of HER TREACHEROUS USURPERS! " It is not an infamous libel on the Chief Magistrate of this Commonwealth, then am I ignorant of the common signification of terms. If Mr. STRONG or any Federalist in office, have been guilty of usurpation, why have they not been brought to justice? Their political opponents cannot say that they have not had the power, when the government has been in their hands the year past. If there had been any offenders, it would have been the wish of the democratic members of the Legislature, as well as their duty, not to let these "treacherous usurpers" go unpunished.
If Mr. STRONG is an usurper all those he has commissioned are illegally appointed and you are not under the least obligation to obey their commands. It is a serious charge to be preferred against the man who holds the first office in the state, and ought not to pass unnoticed if true; fellow citizens, are you ready to rise up in rebellion against your Governor, demolish your Courts of justice, for you are told the " paternal head must perish ," and you are called upon to hurl it from its "unmerited eminence." Good God! is this the gratitude, this the reward which republicans confer on the man who has devoted thirty years to the service of his country? who took his stand in the councils of the state at that hazardous period when the foundation of your independence was laid, and assisted with all the energies of his head and heart to rear and cement it, and whose wisdom and patriotism was eminently displayed in the distinguished part he acted in the formation of the constitution of this State and that of the United States; and for eight successive years as Senator in Congress—who has seven times been called to fill the first office in the gift of a free people, and till now the charge of negligence, unfaithfulness or personal emolument, was never breathed against him. Fortunate for America, and fortunate for the friends to a Republican form of government, that the time has been when the people delighted to honor such men. But times are now changed; and this man, whose country's good has been the pole star of his public life, is pronounced by those who are considered the leaders of the democratic party, a " DASTARDLY TRAITOR ;" and accused of having "betrayed his country," and with having attempted to deprive the people of their " elective franchise ," and " usurp their dearest privilege " And by what authority are these accusations made? were all or any of these gentlemen in the government with Mr. STRONG, during the times that tried "men's souls?" Are their names enrolled among the " Heroes of the revolution ?" Have they gained a reputation to assume this high ground, by a display of their talents and wisdom in the councils of the nation? If, so, let it be
known. And in what manner have these assassin-like stabs been aimed at a character whose life has been without reproach. Not openly and in a public manner; but secretly and in the dark—in such a manner that the hand of the assailant could not be arrested, or a remedy applied till the poison had taken effect. Such are the means which have been employed to deprive Mr. STRONG of the confidence of his fellow-citizens. Is it longer a matter of astonishment that his enemies should be successful? Has he merited this treatment? If he has, either those you have selected to guard the public weal, have betrayed their trust, or the men who make the accusations are the most unprincipled calumniators. I ask Mr. Isley , if, when a candidate for the suffrages of the citizens of this county for an office of trust and emolument, had the friend of some rival candidate secretly circulated throughout the county that you was neither capable nor faithful, would you not have considered it unfair and dishonorable? Would not all honest men have pronounced it unjust towards you & a wicked attempt to impose on the public? And do we not now live under a government which affords equal protection to all its citizens, in reputation as well as property?
From the short time Mr. Lincoln has resided in the District, (not one year) his officiousness in promoting the election of his father , savours more of personal views, and of the character of an aspiring "lawyer," than that of a disinterested patriot, or friend of the people. Mr. Wingate , a stranger in the county, has lately been appointed Post Master, in order that the public interest might be "promoted." Would it not comport more with Mr. Granger's motive, to attend to the duties of his office, than to be riding about the country to hold caucuses and influence the elections?
The lie which was so often been rung in our ears, that Mr. STRONG was unfriendly to our independence and as often refuted, is once more dressed up anew in the well known language of the writer of the Jacobin Circular . I would only ask, if it was a crime in Mr. STRONG, to address a "petty deputy sub-tyrant, was it not a greater one in Mr. Jefferson , almost a year after, "most loyally to address, and humbly petition the favor and clemency" of the tyrant himself? not in the capacity of an individual, but as a representative of the people.
The main pillar in a republican form of government is the virtue of the people; and whoever endeavors to corrupt the public mind or lead it astray, is a traitor and parricide of the most dangerous kind. On the freedom of our elections depends the security of our civil and religious rights. If individuals are suffered to controul them, no matter from what quarter the influence proceeds, our boasted charter of suffrage is nothing but a political farce. It may remain in form till some American Bonaparte will in reality "usurp" our liberties, and we shall awake when it is too late.

FOREIGN.
The last accounts from Europe, say that the prospect of peace increases on the continent; but there is nothing official to warrant the opinion. No operations of consequence have taken place between the Russians and French since the battle of Eylau. The latest intelligence from that quarter informs that great preparations were making, and that a general engagement was shortly expected which would in all probability decide the fate of the war in Poland. Both Russian and French armies have received large reinforcements. The Turks are active in preparing for the war with Russia.—Denmark opposes the English's sending a fleet into the Baltic, and favors the French in that neighborhood.—The Dey of Algiers has declared war against Tunis.
Rather "Squally" in Louisiana yet. An officer of the U. S. at Fort Stokert, writes, that "the Spaniards at Mobile have assumed a degree of insolence altogether intolerable.—In open opposition to the assurances which he last full received from Gen. Howard of Pensacola, of the free passage of our vessel and effects by Mobile, they put our people to the trouble, risk, and expense of unlading every article of their cargoes, and make them pay a toll of 12 per cent thereon. The sch. Victory , left this port a few days ago, with a cargo of Cotton for New Orleans, the duties on which at Mobile amounted to 1140 dollars. The sloop Castor , laden with stores for the troops at this place, and goods for the Choctaw factory, has been detained since the middle of last month, under the pretext that some of the papers are wanting to enable them to lay the duties!!"

AN ERROR CORRECTED. Having been informed that W. WEBB, Esq. was elected representative for Bath, we noticed it in our last, accordingly—since which we find our information was incorrect. Mr. TOLMAN is chosen—a democrat of modern date.
We are not disposed to exult or "crow" respecting the late election of Representatives; but the editor of the Argus would insinuate that the federal ticket prevailed in consequence of negligence and division on the part of the democrats. They were divided only as to one of their candidates, (Mr. Jewett) and we understand the objection to him, was, that he is a lawyer. In this they acted agreeably to their professions—They have always extended to be against the election of lawyers to any office; though they took care to forget this part of their creed at the late choice of Governor, &c. when they voted for lawyer Sullivan & lawyer Linn. As to the citizens not attending the meeting, the numbers given for each ticket will show that the federalists were almost as numerous as Mr. Willis thinks his party was. There being no so many federal votes in 174, as there were at the election for Governor, and not so many democratic votes by 153; but this is enough for a democrat to harp about.
The late election for Governor and members of the Legislature in the state of New-York, has terminated in favor of the worst party of the democrats. Mr. Tompkins is elected in opposition to the present governor Lewis, who three years since was declared to be a "genuine republican." But Mr. Lewis proved too independent a man to be the tool of a party, and must now give place to the more pliant Mr. Tompkins.
Mr. Jefferson a short time since informed us that we were "respected abroad." However true this may be, it does not appear that he or his proclamations are respected even in our own harbours. If the present administration had employed the money which has been wasted in purchasing a wilderness, in providing proper means of national defence, the government nor its citizens would not daily experience insults and degradations from every quarter.
The Supreme Court sets in this town tomorrow. The Court will be composed of the Honorable Chief Justice Parsons, and Judges Sewall and Thatcher.

In Scarborough, the 19th inst. Mrs. M. Meserve, consort of the late Dea. Daniel M. in the 92nd year of her age.

Cookery Book. JUST published and for sale at ISAAC ADAMS' BOOKSTORE, No. 7, Fifth-Street, A New System of DOMESTIC COOKERY, Formed upon Principles of Economy, And adapted to the use of Private Families. By a Lady. "As the directions were intended for the conduct of the families of the author's own daughters, and for the arrangement of their table, so as to unite a good figure with proper economy, she has avoided all excessive luxury such as essence of ham, and that wasteful expenditure of large quantities of meat for gravy, which so greatly contributes to keep up the price, and is no less injurious to those who eat it, than to those whose penury bids them abstain. Many receipts are given for things, which, being in daily use, the mode of preparing them may be supposed too well known to require a place in a cookery book; yet how rarely do we meet with nice melted butter, good toast and water, or well made coffee! She makes no apology for minutiae in some articles, or for leaving others unnamed, because she writes not for professional cooks. This little work would have been a treasure to herself, when the first set out in life, and she therefore hopes it may be useful to others. In that idea it is given to the public, and as she will receive from it no emolument, so she trusts it will escape without censure." May 25.

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! WHEN the attention of the public is solicited by the author of a recent discovery, and in declaiming on its virtues he becomes the panegyrist of his own merits, it will naturally incur the imputation of vanity; but it is not impossible that with such a defect, more noble qualities may be united. Instead, therefore, of judging illiberally respecting the motives of those who make themselves the heroes of their own tale, ought we not rather to encourage individuals of active and cultivated minds, to present us with the details of their professional progress, with the fruits of their experience, and with the result of their matured reflections.
DENNISON'S Improved Jaundice Bitters; OR THE Grand Antibilious Corrective. The Jaundice is discovered by want of appetite, costiveness, dullness and oppression, at times an irresistible propensity for sleep, and at others, too great watchfulness, a yellowish tinge of the urine, and whole mass of the fluids are infected with bilious secretions, and in process of time the blood acquires a tendency to disolution and putrefaction; in these cases it either degenerates into a dropsy or ends in an apoplexy. A discharge by urine is considered by the most learned of the profession, as a means for a length of time to preserve the life of the patient. That by an evacuation of bilious matter, the system may be freed from the bad consequences which ensue on its stagnation in the habit; to accomplish which desirable effect, and to correct and prevent the putridity of bile, a better medicine than here described, has never been discovered. They are particularly serviceable in habitual costiveness, and in an oppressed and weak stomach. They are gratefully warm and pungently aromatic--expel wind in the easiest manner, without immediately heating or inflaming the bowels; they are extremely serviceable in all seasons, but in the course of my practice I have proved them particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bilious habits experience such a total loss of appetite, listlessness and oppression; in such instances, by the application of this remedy the stomach is invariably fortified, appetite and digestion effectually promoted, and plentiful perspiration produced. They possess moreover the property, peculiar to themselves, of qualifying and ameliorating those inflammatory pernicious qualities, inherent in ardent spirits and so often fatal when taken upon an empty stomach, and converts them into a wholesome, pleasant and invigorating stomachic. Being peculiarly adapted to cleanse the urinary passages, they are singularly serviceable in dropsies, by giving tone to the solids, enriching the blood, and invigorating the whole system. From their celebrity as an antidote against the scurvy, they are particularly calculated for sea-faring persons, to whose attention they are respectfully recommended. Persons leading sedentary inactive lives, are most subject to these complaints. All, therefore, in such situations, though not immediately aware of inconveniences, would act wisely by securing a continuance of health, by means of this generous stomachic, as well as all epicures and bon vivants who wish for a delicious and delicate preparative for the appetite he best companion at the festive board. For sale by Joseph Emmerfon -- Portland. May 4. (sm)
