RECOMMENDATIONS.
New-Salem, Sept. 14th, 1801.
Having attentively examined "The Schol- ar's Arithmetic," I cheerfully give it as my opinion, that it is well calculated for the instruction of youth; and that it will abridge much time now necessary to be spent in the communica- tion and attainment of such Arithmetical knowledge, as is proper for the discharge of business.
WARRICK PIERCE, Preceptor of New-Salem Academy.
Groton Academy, Sept. 2, 1801.
SIR, I have perused with attention "The Schol- ar's Arithmetic," which you transmitted to me some time since. It is in my opinion, better calculated to lead students in our Schools and Academies into a complete knowledge of all that is useful in that branch of literature, than any other work of the kind, I have seen. With great sincerity I wish you success in your exertions for the promotion of useful learn- ing; and I am confident, that to be generally approved, your work needs only to be gene- rally known.
WILLIAM M. RICHARDSON, Preceptor of the Academy.
Extract of a letter from the Hon. John Whee- lock, L. L. D. President of Dartmouth College to the Author
"The Scholar's Arithmetic is an improve- ment on former productions of the same na- ture. Its distinctive order and supplement will help the learner in his progress; the part on Federal Money makes it more useful; and I have no doubt but the whole will be a new fad of profit in our country."
Extract of a letter from the Rev. Laban An- worth, of Jaffrey, to the publisher of the 4th Edition, dated Aug. 3, 1807:
"The Superiority of the Scholar's Arithmetic , to any book of the kind in my knowledge, clearly appears from its good effects in the Scholars I annually visit. Previous to its in- troduction, Arithmetic was learned and per- formed mechanically; since, scholars are able to give a rational account of the several oper- ations in Arithmetic, which is the best proof of their having learned to good purpose."

FOR THE PORTLAND GAZETTE.
Justices of the Peace have a civil and criminal jurisdiction depending on an- cient usage, or by authority specially given them by acts or laws of the legis- lature. They are constituted by com- mission under the seal of the Common- wealth, by the Governor for the time being, with advice of Council for the term of seven years, in case they shall so long behave well in doing the duties of the office.
Prior to the adoption of the present constitution in 1780, Justices commis- sions were during life, determinable however, on misbehaviour; and all Justices of the peace had authority to sit in the general sessions of the peace, sometimes denominated quarter ses- sions, from their being usually held four times a year, in the county. A commission used to issue naming all the persons authorized to sit in the court of sessions; and directed that certain individuals by name, with any other two of the Justices named in the same commission, should constitute a court of general sessions of the peace. And as anciently the commissions were made out in latin, the words made use of in them, quorum unus (in English, one of whom) became a technical ex- pression, whereby, in many statutes, particular powers were given and grant- ed to Justices of the quorum , which jus- tices of the peace simply were not em- powered to do. Besides the general commission, which was always lodged with the clerk of the peace, a particu- lar commission issued to every justice, by which he always might determine his power and authority, and also whe- ther he was one of the persons denomi- nated of the quorum or not, but refer- ring to the general commission in custo- dy of the clerk of the peace. And be- fore the American revolution it was not unusual, upon the appointment of one or more Justices in any county, to have the general commission transmitted to the Governor and Council, to have the names of such new appointed Justices added thereto, by the secretary; and until such insertion was made, it was supposed the new made Justices had no authority to sit in sessions.
But after the adoption of the consti- tution in 1780, the same having limit- ed the duration of the office to seven years no general commission accord-
ing to ancient usage, could with pro- priety issue; and it is supposed none have since issued, notwithstanding all the commissions to individual Justices have invariably referred to the general commission for holding a court of gen- eral sessions of the peace.
Certain duties are by particular stat- utes committed to two Justices of the quorum , or to two Justices of the peace quorum unus , such as admitting a poor prisoner in jail on execution for debt, to the benefit of the law, when unable to support himself in prison; taking depositions in perpetuam; or making enquiry of forcible entry and detainer, &c. &c.
A question arises, since the addition- al act has come into operation respect- ing the court of sessions in the several counties, limiting the number to three, five or seven, be specially appointed and commissioned for that purpose. WHO ARE JUSTICES OF THE QUORUM? and are legally authorized to perform the duties prescribed for Justices of the quorum only to do and perform?
If according to the preceding des- cription, a justice of the quorum is ne- cessarily a constituent member of the court of general sessions of the peace: none but those who are, or may be spe- cially commissioned under the late addi- tional act, can legally exercise the pow- er and authority of a justice of the quo- rum , the form, tenor or expressions in their present commissions to the con- trary notwithstanding. And indeed a question may be made, when the per- sons appointed under the late statute in any particular county to hold a court of sessions, not to exceed three in num- ber—which of the Justices thus appoint- ed, are Justices of the quorum —for any three of the 4, 5, or 7 persons specially commissioned to hold sessions of the peace, are by the late additional statute to make a court?
This being a matter not contemplated when the late additional statute was made, it is probable, will receive legis- lative explanation.
PRINCESS OF WIRTEMBERG.
This unfortunate Princess was born on the 21st of February, 1751. Fred- erick the Great King of Prussia, and Catherine II. Empress of Russia, were her Godfather and Godmother. She is above the middle size, fair and handsome, and elegant in her manners. She unites with all the amiable accom- plishments of her own sex, a firmness and instruction of mind, not possessed by many of the Princes of her house.
The following letter, ascribed to her Royal Highness, has been circulated and read with avidity in Germany, where it is generally believed authen- tic:
To his Majesty the King of Wirtemberg.
SIRE, "It is then decided that your Majesty's unfortunate daughter is to augment the number of victims Ger- man Princes sacrifice at the shrine of the Corsican idols now threatening to destroy every one not counted among his worshippers, prostrated before his alter, or bowing to his omnipotence. Oh, Sire! could I—humbled—with a life of penance, of degradation, restore my contemporaries their lost tranqui- lity, my country its former prosperity, and my rank its ancient lustre, not a murmur, not a sigh should be heard. I should then in dignified and resign- ed silence be swallowed up in the gulf of infamy, now open before me—I should then be indifferent whether pos- terity extolled me as a heroine, or con- demned me as a criminal; whether future ages blessed or cursed my memo- ry. By my present prostitution (I cannot call it any thing else) however new humiliations will only be prepared for sovereigns, and new letters signed for subjects; dishonour, disgrace, and oppression, will only be disseminated with more profusion; and from the throne to the cot, not a spot will be found unpolluted by vice, not debased by submission, or not groaning under tyranny: and what is still more to be lamented, deserving its wretchedness its debasement—Oh! Sire, consider, entreat and conjure your Majesty upon my knees; consider, that in becoming unnatural, you only gain a respite, your doom is nevertheless irrevocably fix- ed. The first time you dare to resist the barbarous mandates, the danger- ous innovations, and the shameful ex- tortions of a Bonaparte, you not only will cease to reign, but perhaps to live. As to my individual happiness, it is, alas! gone,—gone for ever. Were a brother of Napoleon as virtuous as he is culpable, the idea of receiving the poisoned embraces of a relative of a man, accused of and convicted of the most enormous crimes, would alone be more than sufficient to banish from my bosom all thoughts of felicity, all no- tions of comfort. But, Sire, what is the character of the low personage, you forget yourself, in accepting for a son- in-law, and whom you will force on me for a consort? Has he not already de- serted an American wife, and condem- ned a West India mistress to be de- voured by bloodhounds? Has he not betrayed the faith he swore to Miss Patterson at Baltimore, neglected his duty to their offspring, and bid defiance to all those laws, renounced all those sentiments, and despised all those ties which bind society together? Has he not shewed himself equally treacher- ous and atrocious? Remember also, Sire! the danger as well as the shame of this alliance. Suppose that the long suspended wrath of heaven at last crushed Napoleon; with him, no doubt all his low and guilty relatives would be buried in their native dust, and tumble into their original obscurity.
In such a case, would not the claims of his former wife reduce me to the ignominious state of a concubine?—A- gain, Sire, I supplicate your Majesty as my sovereign, & appeal to your heart, as a parent, do not inflict on a child who never offended you, what would be a severe punishment, even on a parenti- cide—Do not, Sire, outrage your blood, nature, and humanity by an union, which to the end of time will throw a stain on your house, subject you to the accusation of meanness as a Prince, of cruelty as a man and unfeelingness as a father.—A distressed, but ever duti- ful daughter; (Signed) Frederica Catherina Sophia Dorothea. Stutgard, July 24. 1807.
Extracts from the minutes of the trial at Halifax, of WARE, MARTIN and STRACHAN, three of the men taken from the Chesapeake.
"Lieut. CREIGHTON, of the Mal- ampus, sworn
Q. Do you know how the pris- oners came into the service?
A. Yes—Wm. Ware and Daniel Martin were taken out of the Amer- ican brig Neptune, in the Bay of Bil- cay, about the latter end of January, 1806. On our arrival at Plymouth, they were returned to the Neptune, on board of which they remained but two or three days, when they came on board the Malampus, ex- pressing a wish to volunteer for the ship; but knowing that captain Poyntz (then commander of the ship) had an aversion to men of colour, and more especially to them, as they belonged to a detained vessel, I sent them away to consider of it; and one or two days after, I think, they re- turned and volunteered, after having seen captain Poyntz on shore; which I learnt from him. John Strachan belonged to the Active, a British Af- rican trader, of Liverpool—he, with several others, who expressed a wish to enter, was taken on board, and re- ceived the usual bounty."
"Mr. NOBBS, Purser of the Me- lamous, called in and sworn.—
Q. Are the Books you now pro- duce correct?
A. They are, they were kept by myself. The complete book left by capt. Poyntz with capt. Hawker, pro- duced—
"Wm. Ware, born at Baltimore, bounty £5.
"Daniel Martin, born in Ameri- ca, £5.
"John Strachan, do. £5.

Wm. Ware, stated, that he was born in Fredericktown, state of Maryland, in America—that he admits what is stated of his having entered—throwing himself on the mercy of the Court—begging leave to call on his officers for a character.
Daniel Martin, that he was born in the state of Massachusetts, at Westport—admits his having entered voluntarily for the Melampus, as stated—calling on the officers of the ship for his character.
John Strachan, born in Queen's county, state of Maryland, America—admits to be perfectly true what is stated of his entering for the Melampus—throwing himself on the mercy of the Court; and calling on Lieuts. Creighton and Stoddard, of the Melampus, for a character, for nearly two years he was in her.
The whole of the prisoners stated, they would never have run from the ship, or had a thought of it, had it not been for the Boatswain of her."
The three seamen. —We hear constantly of the three seamen taken from the Chesapeake; why not the four seamen? for four were taken, viz. Jenkin Ratford (alias Wilson) Ware, Strachan, and Martin, the first a defector from the Halifax, the three last from the Melampus. The evidence collected by OUR government shows that Ware and Strachan were Americans, Martin was born on the coast South America, and that they ALL ENTERED VOLUNTARILY on board the Melampus frigate. Of Wilson, nothing is said. The account given in the trial at Halifax, so far as relates to his conduct at that place, is very correct and part of which the editor of this paper was witness to. Although, it is often difficult to distinguish an American from a British sailor, yet we believe that any person who had heard Ratford or Wilson speak, would have pronounced him to have been an Englishman, no one we are certain, could have taken him for an American. Indeed he did not say that he was an American, as far as we could learn.— Norfolk Ledger.
CHILICOTHE (Ohio) SEPT. 19. We stop the press to state, that Gen. Worthington and Colonel M'Arthur who were sent out by the Governor to ascertain the disposition of the Indians, in the neighbourhood of Greenville and Fort Wayne, have this morning returned accompanied by several chiefs and an interpreter, who will, it is supposed, attend at the court house on to-morrow, for the purpose of holding a talk with the governor. No hostile intentions could be discovered among the Indians.
An unknown disease prevails in a part of Deerfield, a town situate on the Connecticut river which proves mortal within 16 hours from the attack, baffling all the skill of physicians.
Delaware Election. —We have been favored with a letter from a gentleman in Delaware stating that the federalists have carried their election. G. Truitt, Esq. is elected governor in opposition to Mr. Hazlett by a majority of 245 votes; and Mr. Vandike is elected a member of congress in opposition to Mr. Dickinson by a majority of 243.
Burr's Trial. —On Tuesday the 6th inst. Mr. Wickam announced to the court that the testimony on the part of the accused was closed. Mr. Hay said he had no other witnesses to examine except Lieut. Jackson, who was on his way from New-Orleans and might be expected on the following day.
Appointments by the Executive of New-Hampshire.
Hon. Levi Bartlett, Esq. of Kingston, Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, for the County of Rockingham.
Hon. Robert Alcock, Esq. of Deerling, a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, for the county of Hillsborough.
The President of the U. S. and Secretaries of the Treasury, Navy and War departments, have arrived at Washington. Congress will meet agreeable to Proclamation on the 28th instant.

The Hon. Jonathan Robinson, Esq. has been chosen a Senator in Congress, vice J. Smith, chosen Gov.
The following Proclamation was issued by the British Commanders on landing at Denmark:—
PROCLAMATION. WHEREAS the present treaties of peace, and the changes of government and of territory acceded to by so many powers have so far increased the influence of France on the continent of Europe as to render it impossible for Denmark, though it desires to be neutral, to preserve its neutrality, and absolutely necessary for those who continue to resist the French aggression, to take measures to prevent the arms of neutral powers from being turned against them.
In this view the King cannot regard the present position of Denmark with indifference, and his majesty has sent negotiators with ample powers to his Danish majesty, to request in the most amicable manner, such explanation as the times require, and a concurrence in such measures as can alone give security against the farther mischiefs which the French meditate, through the acquisition of the Danish navy.
The King, our Royal and most Gracious Master, has therefore judged it expedient, to desire the temporary deposit of the Danish ships of the line in one of his majesty's ports.
The deposit seems to be so just, and so indispensably necessary under the relative circumstances of the Neutral and Belligerent Powers that his Majesty has further deemed it a duty to himself, and to his people to support this demand by a powerful fleet, and by an army amply supplied with every preparation necessary for the most active and determined enterprise.
We come, therefore, to your shores, inhabitants of Zealand! not as enemies, but in self-defence, to prevent those who have so long disturbed the Peace of Europe, from compelling the force of your Navy to be turned against us.
We ask deposit, we have not looked to capture: so far from it, the most solemn pledge has been offered to your Government, and is hereby renewed in the Name and at the express command of the King our Master, that if our demand is amicably acceded to, every ship belonging to Denmark, shall, at the conclusion of a general Peace, be restored to her, in the same condition and state of equipment, as when received under the protection of the British flag.
It is in the power of your Government, by words, to sheath our swords most reluctantly drawn against you; but if, on the other hand, the machinations of France render you deaf to the voice of reason and the call of friendship, the innocent blood that will be spilt, and the horrors of a besieged and bombarded capital, must fall on your own heads, and on those of your cruel advisers.
His Majesty's seamen and soldiers, when on shore, will treat Zealand, as long as your conduct to them permit it, on the footing of a province of the most friendly Power in alliance with Great-Britain, whose territory has the misfortune to be the theatre of war.
The persons of all those who remain at home, and do not take an hostile part, will be held sacred.
Property will be respected and preserved, and the most severe discipline will be enforced.
Every article of supply furnished or brought to market will be paid for at a fair and settled price; but as immediate and constant supplies, especially of provision, forage, fuel and transports are necessary to all armies it is well known that requisitions are unavoidable and must be enforced.
Much inconvenience will arise to the inhabitants, and much confusion and loss to them will be prevented if persons in authority are found in the several districts to whom requisitions may be addressed and through whom claims for payment may be settled and liquidated.
If such persons are appointed, and discharge their duty, without meddling in matters which do not concern them, they shall be respected, and all requisitions shall be addressed to them, through the proper channels and departments of the Navy and Army; but as forbearance on the part of the inhabitants is essential to the principle of these arrangements, it is necessary that all manner of civil persons should remain at their several habitations and any peasants, or other persons, found in arms singly or in small troops, or who may be guilty of an act of violence, must expect to be treated with rigour.
The government of his Danish Majesty having hitherto refused to treat this matter in an amicable way, part of the army has been disembarked, and the whole force has assumed a warlike attitude; but it is as yet not too late for the voice of reason and moderation to be heard.
Given in the Sound, under our hands and seals, this 16th day of August, 1807.

Extract from a letter.
"I think Mr. Marshall a very able and impartial judge; an ornament and a blessing to this country; but I should not wonder if the democrats attempt to have him impeached for not instantly ordering Col. Burr to be hanged. They see no need of evidence, and they are a law unto themselves. The improper, indecent, and bloody paragraphs which have appeared in some of the papers, show the dreadful nature of jacobinism. It will involve this country in bloodshed, and end in an iron despotism, unless nobly and firmly resisted."
The Trial of Com. Barron has been further postponed, on account of his indisposition, and the absence of Mr. Tazwell a material witness, who is engaged at the Court, now sitting in Richmond.
SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH, SEPT. 3. 1807. Capt. Wilson, from Petersburg informs, that two days before he left that city, a Russian General, who had been bribed by Bonaparte had thrown himself over a bridge and was drowned."

FOR THE PORTLAND GAZETTE.
MR. ADAMS, BY admitting the following remarks in your paper, you will oblige one, who, tho' he does not proclaim his patriotism at the corner of every street, or preach about liberty and equality on the counter of a grocery shop, still feels an anxious wish that his native country may be allowed to enjoy the blessings of peace and prosperity, so long as is consistent with our national independence and honor.
At no period since the adoption of the federal constitution, has the situation of the United States been so alarming, as at the present moment. To prove the existence of this fact, I need not resort to the aid of logical deductions or the use of metaphysical refinement. Business of every kind for several months past, has been at a stand; and a few days more of doubt and uncertainty will produce a total stagnation. To complete our calamities, we are seriously threatened with a maritime war with the first naval power in the world. Should this take place, the consequences will be, the destruction of nine tenths of our commerce and an annihilation of a like proportion of the revenue, and the bankruptcy of the merchants. The farmer will not be able to obtain more than one half of even the present price, which his lumber and other articles command; and the sound of the hammer and the mallet will be suspended in our cities. These, the great, are not all the evils a state of war will produce. That regard to morals and virtue, so essential to the existence of all good government, but particularly so in the preservation of a republican form, will be corrupted and sink in the general wreck.—Will any serious, candid and reflecting man say that this portrait is drawn in too high colors? I wish not to excite unnecessary or groundless alarms; but it is the solemn duty of every one who does not wish to see the property and lives of our fellow-citizens sacrificed to false notions of honor and interest, to come forward and lay before the public, the causes of our present difficulties; and tho' it is not for an individual to dictate what line of conduct Mr. Jefferson shall pursue, yet, thank God, we are still allowed the use of a free press and the liberty of speech; and tho' those whose voice "is still for peace," are proclaimed "old Tories," and "British partizans," and marked out as proper objects to satiate the vengeance of a mob, set on by the advocates of war, the time is not far distant, when, unless a majority of the people of this country are lost to every sense of reason and propriety, the authors of such absurd language and conduct will meet their merited reward.
A crisis is fast approaching in our public affairs when the measures and not the professions of men, high in office, shall test the wisdom, ability and integrity of their conduct.
Ever since Mr. Jefferson appointed Mr. Munroe Minister to the court of St. James, the citizens of the United States have been amused, flattered and gulled with the Siren song that all the points in dispute between the two countries would be amicably adjusted. This was officially stated by the President a few days before the close of the last session of Congress.—In a short time after the senate rose, Mr. Jefferson received a copy of the treaty; and after reading it sent it back, without permitting it to go before his constitutional advisers, or allowing the country to have the least knowledge of its contents. Now, tho' this may be perfectly right and just, under the Presidency of Mr. Jefferson, how did the men who are now so very submissive and silent, conduct at the time Mr. Jay negotiated a treaty of amity, commerce and friendship under the direction of the great and good WASHINGTON? The party which Mr. Jefferson then acted with and by whom he has since been placed in the chair of state, demanded the publication of the treaty, before it was laid before the senate. Then the cry among the democrats from Maine to Georgia was, that republics ought to have no secrets. What! are the people not to be trusted with a knowledge of our foreign relations? Shall those in office, the mere servants of the sovereign people, be allowed to conduct these things in secret? No, no, was the exclamation of every demagogue of that day. Washington shall be impeached—Jay burnt in effigy; nay, hung in reality, if we can have our will—Stephen Thompson Mason shall be entitled to the thanks of his country, for violating his oath—Mair M'Clanahan receive active crown to kick the d—d British treaty to h—l!—and Monsieur Gallatin receive applause for threatening to stop the wheels of government! This conduct led to the high road of fame, and has since procured for its authors the consummation of human ambition, power and office.
What! have a treaty with England—none but Tories would ever consent to it! Even WASHINGTON was proclaimed a traitor and denounced as a betrayer of his country's honor and independence. But the man, who, under Providence, was the chief instrument of our political rank and prosperity, met the calumnies of the base and unprincipled, with the firmness of a patriot—did his duty at the expense of his popularity. The treaty with England was ratified and went into operation—nor has any one of its most violent opposers, with all their devotion to Bonaparte and French policy, been able to show, in a single instance, wherein it has operated against the commerce of this country; On the contrary, during its existence, the stipulations were observed with mutual good faith by the citizens of both countries.—All the articles of this treaty, except the first ten, expired in 1806. Notwithstanding Mr. Jefferson, aided by the patrician councils of Gallatin, of insurrection memory, has ever since been in the full tide of experiment, tho' with what success let his warmest partizans decide, the situation of affairs betwixt the two countries has been growing worse and worse; and at present, wear a gloomy and an alarming appearance.
AN AMERICAN.
We understand that Gen. JOHN SNEE has been appointed collector of the customs for the port of Philadelphia, in the place of Gen. Muhlenberg, deceased.
Portland,
Monday, October 19, 1807.
The intelligence from England the week past is so vague and equivocal, that little reliance can be placed upon it. The Revenge arrived at Falmouth; (Eng) August the 27th, in 39 days from Norfolk. On the 3d of September, our Minister, Mr. Monroe, presented the dispatches to Mr. Canning, the secretary for foreign affairs, but nothing official respecting them had transpired.
The "Courier" a paper in favour of the present ministry state that the dispatches directed Mr. Monroe to wait but four days for an answer. This we much doubt. We cannot believe that Mr. Jefferson would order our Minister to close the doors of reconciliation in so short a time, for it would in all probability cause a War between the two countries.
Letters received by gentlemen in this town, as late as September the 9th, from merchants of the first respectability in England, mention, that if the negotiation had been broken off, it would have been known at that time, and they auger favourably from this circumstance.
It is believed to be the sincere wish of every real friend to the happiness and prosperity of this country, that a good understanding should be restored betwixt the United States and England. None but the turbulent and those whose circumstances are desperate, and have nothing to lose, wish for war. It appears to be the opinion of those best informed that it will not take place, tho' the most sanguine are not without their fears.
The British Affairs in Denmark,
Arrest the chief attention in England. Hostilities commenced in Zealand the 16th Aug. when the British landed at Wedbeck a few miles from Copenhagen. At the same time, the German legion from Rügen landed on the other side of the city. The British operations appear to have been conducted with humanity and discipline. On the 23d Aug. (the last date) Copenhagen had not capitulated. The English were within two miles of the walls, erecting batteries, and it was expected, would open on the 24th, sixty 24-pounders on the town. A general cannonade was expected, by sea and land; and breaches being made the army was to march to the assault. The English had taken a royal foundery 3 miles from the city, garrisoned by 600 men. Some skirmishes had taken place; and a sort of 2000 made, which, was driven back. It was reported, that general Brune, had got into Copenhagen, and was assisting the Danes.
The London papers say that orders had been sent out for the immediate capture of St. Croix, St. Thomas, and other Danish Islands:—That it had been ascertained that Denmark, immediately after the treaty of Tilsit, had agreed to make common cause with Russia and France against G. Britain:—and that orders had been issued in every part of Denmark, for the sequestration of British goods.
It was conjectured at Gibraltar, when the Wasp and Constitution left that place, that an attempt would be made on the fortress by the French; and that the assembling of the troops at Bayonne, was intended as a preparatory step towards that object—Great preparations were accordingly making to put the forts in the highest possible state of defence.
Supreme Court. —On Tuesday last the October term of the Supreme Judicial Court for the counties of Cumberland and Oxford, commenced. His honor Judge THATCHER officiated. On opening the court he delivered a learned, correct and judicious charge to the grand jury—The attention of the court has been principally occupied on criminal business; some of which was of a serious and important nature.—If we were disposed to pursue a similar mode of conduct which the Chronicle and other jacobin papers are constantly in the habit of, towards the Court (or those who are arraigned and tried) we have now an uncommon fine opportunity.
Benevolent Society. —Thursday last being the anniversary of the establishment of the Portland Benevolent Society, in the evening WILLIAM FREEMAN, Esq. pronounced an elegant and appropriate address in the Rev. Dr. Denne's meeting house, before the members and a large and respectable audience. after which a collection of 125 dollars was made to aid the funds of the institution.
Interesting to Mariners
A number of gentlemen in this town some time since, associated for the purpose of erecting a Building on Fort Hill from which vessels approaching this port might be discovered at a considerable distance, and information given of the same. It not unfrequently happens that vessels coming on the coasts in the winter season experience much damage in the sails and rigging and loss of hands even when within sight of the harbour. By the aid of good glasses and a large Telescope, placed near the top of the Observatory, the wants of the distressed mariner by the use of signals, if within the distance of discovery, will be known and communicated to the Insurance Offices, and those interested, and such relief afforded as his situation may require. For a trifling expence the curious and lover of nature may from the Observatory have an extensive view of the surrounding country and behold one of the finest landscapes the country affords.
The following directions have been furnished for the observation of those whom it may concern. Printers in the
scaparts are respectfully desired to give them a place in their papers, for the benefit of those interested in commercial pursuits:—
Those masters who sail from this port or ports adjacent, are informed, that from the OBSERVATORY on Fort Hill, by means of the Telescope placed there, vessels approaching the coast may be discovered at fifteen leagues distance; and their colors or private signals can be distinguished right leagues, if the weather should be clear and the colors hoisted, or suspended in such a manner as to present them fair to the OBSERVATORY. . . . Should any need assistance, they will set their Ensign over their private signals; and may be assured, if they can be discerned, that their situation will be made known to their owners.
The OBSERVATORY bears N. N. W. 1-4 W. from Portland Light-House, 4 miles distance; and those in range are a good mark to clear Alden's Rock; which, keeping the above in range, you will be nearly three quarters of a mile to the Eastward of it.
The OBSERVATORY is on an eminence, 141 feet above high-water mark; and the building 82 feet high, painted red, and the Telescope is placed near the top.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.
MR. FREEMAN'S Oration before the Benevolent Society, at their annual meeting on Thursday evening last, was one of those efforts of the human mind which does not solicit, but which commands the attention and admiration of the auditor. The sentiments, style, and manner, were appropriate, classical, and elegant. The aptness of quotation, and the brilliant figures and allusions were of that class which genius is proud to call her own.
When he spoke of a deceased member of the Society, Commodore Fries, the spirit of Ossian hovered on the brow of the youthful Orator, and the shade of the departed Hero smiled as it flitted before him.
No man could hear this powerful appeal in behalf of the Widow and the Fatherless, without contributing to their relief. Hence the liberal contributions of the evening.
We congratulate the poor, the infirm, and the wretched children of misfortune: ye have now a new advocate who delights to plead your cause, and at whose voice the deaf is made to hear, and the heart of stone is softened.
The Hon. SAMUEL W. DANA, is chosen Senator of the United States, for the ensuing six years, in the room of the Hon. Uriah Tracy, deceased. We learn that Mr. Dana had 96 votes; Asa Spalding, Esq. about 50; and Col. David Humphreys 8.

To Ship Masters. JUST Published by DANIEL JOHNSON, and for sale by Messrs. CHARLES & JOHN FOX, No. 4 & 5, South side Long-Wharf, Portland ALSO AT The Portland Bookstore, No. 5, Muffey's Row, THE AMERICAN Skip-Master's Daily Assistant; OR, Compendium of Marine Law, AND Mercantile Regulations & Customs; BEING A correct and useful guide to all men in business, especially those employed in the Merchant-Service. Explaining by Judicial decisions, the duty, authority, and responsibility of ship-masters, and the liability of ship-owners for the contracts or misconduct of those they employ as masters. CONTAINING ALSO A great variety of useful Tables AND Commercial forms, calculated to assist ship-owners, consignees, supercargoes, and masters of vessels. The whole carefully compiled from undoubted authorities. PREFACE. The American Shipmaster's Assistant has been undertaken and completed under a conviction that a publication of the kind was much wanted; and would, if well executed, be found useful to all men in trade; more especially to masters of vessels. It often happens that the difficulties, which take place between the ship-master and Owner, originate from the want of a sufficient knowledge of Maritime Law. The object of the compiler has been to furnish the ship-master, as well as the common-carrier, with that part of Maritime Law which more immediately relates to their duty and responsibility. The Mathematical Tables, which are of daily use to the practical Navigator, are not only more copious, but more correct than any before published in America. The peculiar nature of a work of this kind is that every succeeding impression should be subject to improvements. Should the public approbation of this book, render another edition necessary, no pains will be spared to make it useful. Oct. 19.

ST. GEORGE'S MILLS. THE Subscriber offers for Sale his MILLS; lately the property of General H. KNOS; situated in the town of Warren, and county of Lincoln, and a little above the head of Navigation, on the great Falls of St. George's River—together with the Lands and Buildings thereto adjoining and belonging. There are three distinct Saw Mills, each of which contains two Saws. One of said Mills, is of a very unusual length, and calculated more particularly for sawing dimension Lumber: it will saw a stick upwards of sixty feet in length. This long Mill contains also, a gang of seven Saws moving together, and cutting a log into six boards at one operation, but is remarkably well adapted to the cutting of vessel planks, making them as equal in thickness, as smooth and perfect, in every respect as those sawed by hand. There is also, a Grist Mill, of the best kind and construction, whose custom is from 6 to 10 bushels per day, thro' the year; with a Boiling machine for the manufacture of Flour. The supply of water is very abundant, (with the exception of the three driest months of the year) to keep four of the saws in motion, and for four months in the year, will keep them all going together, with the grist Mill; and there is no part of the year (except an unusual dry season) when two saws may not be employed, even in the three summer months. Each of the saws is capable of cutting four thousand of boards a day:—The fall of water, is 15 feet on an average. In addition to the Mill, the Canal is also offered for Sale, with all its privileges, as established by Law: This Canal is a magnificent work, connecting the waters above said Mills with the tide waters, and Calculated as well for the use of the Mills, as the Lumber Merchants of the Back country; as very much of the Lumber of that extensive Country passes thro' them to the head of navigation; making them productive of a revenue of more than 500 dollars a year exclusive of the advantage derived to the Mills from them. This Canal may fairly be calculated, on as a progressive and certain revenue. Adjoining the Mills, is a Farm of about 150 acres of excellent Land; one half of which, is cleared, and under improvement, lying on both sides of the river; and in every point of view, whether of soil, situation or improving value, is an object of great importance. On this farm, is a large, handsome and well finished mansion House, Barn and out-houses; a large Store, and Tenements for working people, with a Cooper's shop, beautifully situated upon the bank of the river, and one quarter of a mile above the Village. The farm is an extremely pleasant summer residence. To a Merchant or Trader, it is decidedly the best stand on the river, for the lumber trade, and is generally considered by those who are best acquainted with it, as one of the most eligible situations for business in this part of the country. Any person inclined to purchase, on application to BENEZER TITCHENER, living on the premises, can view the same, and receive any further information respecting its peculiar advantages of this estate. Possession will be given on the first of March next. If not sold previous to that time, the value of this valuable property will be let at an annual rent, or on shares as may be agreed upon. For terms of sale, apply to H. JACKSON, Esq. Esopus, September 1, 1807.

Poetry.
FOR THE GAZETTE.
Mr. PRINTER, By inserting the following in your paper you will oblige a friend to the Gazette.
Married , at Falmouth, by the Rev. William Miltimore, Mr. Zachariah Merrill to Miss Dolly Skillin.
"I am married and happy, with wonder hear this!
Ye rovers and rakes of the age, Who laugh at the institution of conjugal bliss, Whom none but loose pleasures engage.
You may laugh—but believe me, you're all in the wrong,
When you merrily marriage deride; For to marriage alone lasting pleasures belong,
And in them we can only confide.
Of the joys I possess, you know not one jot, They contain what you cannot conceive; Contented and happy, I am pleas'd with my lot, Whilst all you false pleasures deceive.
Do you ask from what source my felicity flows?
My answer is short—from a wife, Whom for virtue, good sense, and good manners I've chose: Such as these are the blessings of life.
To make home the seat of perpetual delight, Every moment each strives for to seize; And we find ourselves happy from morning 'til night, By mutual endeavours to please."
The king of Prussia had heard that a corporal in one of his regiments, who was known as a handsome young man, wore, out of vanity, a watch-chain suspended from a bullet in his fob. He had the curiosity to investigate the fact, and walking purposely by him one morning, said "Why corporal, you are a brave fellow to have saved enough to buy a watch." "Sire," said the corporal "I flatter myself I am brave, but as for my watch, it is of little significance." The king pulling out a gold watch, said, "By my watch it is five; what is said, it by yours?" the corporal, pulling out his bullet with a trembling hand, replied, "My watch neither tells me five nor six, but shows me clearly that I must be ready at any time to die for your majesty."
THE copartnership of J. HARRINGTON & CO. is this day dissolved by mutual consent. All persons indebted will make payment, and those having demands will present them to JOHN COE, No. 4. Fifth-street. J. HARRINGTON, JOHN COE. Portland, Sept. 9. 1807.

THE Subscriber respectfully acquaints the citizens of Portland and the public in general, that he has established a HOTEL at the corner of Lane Lane and Middle-Street , under the denomination of the RESTORATOR ; a resort for the infirm in health, the convalescent, and those whose attention to sedentary employments occasions a lassitude of nature—where they can obtain the most suitable nourishment. This plan unites usefulness with economy; for as spirits are not to be used therein, and gaming disallowed, its usefulness is apparent; its economy will be obvious, when it is known that every person can here call for as much or as little as he pleases, and pay for more than he consumes. Excellent Wines and Cordials, good Soups and Broths, Paltry in all its delicious variety, Almoned Beef, Bacon, Poultry, and generally all other refreshment and viands will be kept in due preparation, and a bill of fare will be constantly ready for exhibition, from which each visitor may command whatever may best suit his appetite. As this institution is founded on utility and convenience, and has been productive of great benefits in European Cities, the subscriber contemplates the patronage of the public, to merit which his best endeavours shall be made, and his gratitude acknowledges every favor. Private Parties will here find every accommodation. G. LABOITIERRE.
