THE CLOSING SCENE.
STRONG AND SULLIVAN, with their respective merits.
AS the contest for the election of Governor is over, we are not disposed to continue the altercation of a subject which the public must be already weary of; but as the Legislature at their late session, appointed a committee to examine the accounts of the Attorney-General, it is proper the report of this committee should be before the public. The charge against Mr. Sullivan, of not accounting for the money belonging to the Commonwealth, was first made in the Repertory. We give the remarks of Mr. Park upon the report also.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
The following is the report of the Committee, appointed to inquire, what fees, in cases of criminal prosecutions have been received by the Attorney General, and whether he had accounted for them according to Law.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in the House of Representatives, June 6, 1806.
The Committee to whom was referred to inquire what fees have been received by the Attorney General of this Commonwealth, upon Bills of cost taxed in criminal prosecutions in the several Counties, and whether any account has been rendered thereof, or any allowance or deduction made therefor in the salary paid to that Officer, according to Law. Respectfully report—
That by an Act passed February 27, 1790, it is provided, that the Attorney General receive for compensation for his services out of the Treasury of this Commonwealth, £300 pr. annum, to be paid quarterly, and that in each criminal prosecution, there shall be taxed 15s for the fees of the Attorney General, and all such fees received by him shall be accounted for annually with the Treasurer of the Commonwealth.
That by the certificate of Wm. Pynchon, Esq. Treasurer of the County of Hampshire, sundry fees were taxed, in such prosecutions amounting to the sum of 202 dols 95 cents, which were paid to the Attorney General by him, but it does not appear by the certificate when this sum was paid.
That by the certificate of the Treasurer of the Commonwealth, it appears that no fees were accounted for by the Attorney General.
That it is admitted by the Attorney General, that on the 14th of May, 1802, he received of the Treasurer of the County of Hampshire, the sum of 152 dols. 60 cents, and afterwards he received of said Treasurer, the balance, making the sum of 202 dols. 95 cents.
That he received of the Treasurer of the county of Worcester the sum of 17 dls. 25 cts. and of the Treasurer of the county of Berkshire the sum of 10 dls. which sum amounting to 230, 20 cts. are all the monies received by him (according to his recollection) of the county Treasurers since the passing the act of the 27th of Feb. 1795. And that your committee have no evidence of any other sums having been paid him than those above mentioned by any county Treasurer.
Your committee further report that by an act passed the 27th Feb. 1795, The county Treasurers were directed to exhibit their accounts for monies received for fines and bills of cost to the Treasurer of the Commonwealth under the direction of the Government and Council—on the first Tuesday of June annually and that since the passing this act it has been customary with most of the county Treasurers to settle their accounts in the secretary's office, but your committee are unable at this time to report precisely what county Treasurers have done so.
Your committee further report that the Attorney General hath exhibited to them an account current,
a true copy whereof they annex, in which account, the sums as aforesaid received by him of the county Treasurers, appear to be credited to the Commonwealth, but inasmuch as their commission does not authorize them to settle the Attorney General's account, they can only observe, that the charges appear to be for services and monies advanced in civil suits, in behalf of the Commonwealth, some of which have been pending in the Courts, from the year 1801 to the present time—that it does not appear to your committee, that any account has been settled between the Commonwealth and the Attorney General, since the 21st January 1803, at which time, by a Resolve of the Legislature of that date, a settlement was made, concerning civil suits.
Besides the above, the Chairman of the Committee stated, verbally, that they had not had time to obtain information from all the counties, and knew not the state of facts in distant counties.
REMARKS.
Though the Committee which made the above report were restricted in their commission, to inquire respecting monies received in cases of indictments, and though they had not time to ascertain all the facts to which their commission extended, we are happy that they have made an early report, that members, of the House, who are daily, returning to their homes, will have this information to carry with them, that the charge made in the Repertory, that Mr. Sullivan had received monies of the Commonwealth for which he had not accounted was TRUE.
Supported in our charge by the extorted concession of Mr. Sullivan himself, we now beg leave to recapitulate the history of this business.
The Repertory of March 21 contained the following charges. It must be well understood by every man acquainted with the duties of the Attorney General, that monies belonging to the Commonwealth must frequently pass into his hands. We have inquired at the proper bureau whether he renders an account of all monies received, for the Commonwealth and find that he does not.
This and some other charges brought from Mr. Sullivan, a long explanation and defence, which he published in the Chronicle, of March 27, signed with his name at length. He protested that he was innocent and pretended to give a full statement of his money concerns with the Commonwealth. He gave credit for 150 dollars, granted him in 1802 by the Legislature. This he said was all the money belonging to the Commonwealth, in his hands, and concluded his publication in these remarkable words—“I have no publick money but that 150 dollars to account for. I have received none but what I have receipts for. James Sullivan.”
We knew this was false; and that he had received other monies, which he now concealed, and for which he had no receipts. We therefore considered his declaration as justifying us in accusing him of embezzlement. No reply was made to this; and a few days since we repeated the charge and urged the propriety of Legislative inquiry.
A Committee was appointed, restricted however to inquire into his receipts of fees on indictments only, and whether he had accounted for them. This embraced but a part of what we had in view; but if this committee found that at the time Mr. Sullivan declared he had but 150 dollars for which he had not receipts, he actually had other sums for which he had no receipts, the charge against him, was substantiated.
We put a document, proving the fact, into the hands of the Committee. It was carried to Mr. Sullivan, by a member of the Committee, his friend; and in a day or too, he sent an account to the committee, giving credit for that amount, and some other small sums, and an account against the Commonwealth, exceed-
ing the credit, about one dollar and fifty cents. I
The publick will readily discern, that this credit not given until after detection and proof, and wholly inconsistent with his Chronicle declaration, which he had probably forgotten, is no justification.
Aware that Mr. Sullivan is adroit at evasion, we thought it not improper to use a little art to detect him. We therefore pointed out only the case of the Hampshire fees. He admits, contrary to his declaration in March last, that he had received these; but now a second time says, this is all. We have caught him and again declare, this is not all. A member of the House, immediately after the report was made, rose and observed, that a member present had detected other sums not credited. The gentleman who was chairman of the committee, has now another document, from another county, certifying sums paid, which are not yet accounted for. We will likewise hint another field of inquiry. Mr. Sullivan, as Attorney General has profecuted several individuals, in the District of Maine for trespasses on the lands of the Commonwealth, and has recovered damages, of which we cannot find that he has rendered any account. He has likewise received 200 dollars, of money in the custody of the Commonwealth, which he obtained by receipting for it, as received “by virtue of a Resolve of the General Court,” when he had no grant for that purpose. Will or will not the Legislature pursue this inquiry?—The Committee has done enough to substantiate our charge, but further inquiry, and particularly after his declaring a second time “I have no more money belonging to the Commonwealth,” will set the charge in a clearer and more unquestionable light. We wish to persecute no man; but certainly it is not necessary that the Commonwealth, or even an individual who takes the part of the Commonwealth, should, be unjustly abused.
OF GOVERNOR STRONG.
A short time previous to the late election for Governor, a story was circulated in democratic papers, stating that Mr. Strong had been guilty of as much dishonesty in the sale of a horse to a Mr. Miller, of Northampton, as Mr. Sullivan was in his treatment of Deac. Clark; but see how a plain tale will put this lie down.
From the Hampshire Gazette.
MR. MILLER'S DECLARATION.
I, JOHN MILLER, of Northampton, aged seventy years, having seen in the Spy paper, printed in this town, what is called “A match traveller for Deacon Clark's mare,” in which it is stated that I bought an old grey mare of Gov. Strong, and that finding myself sorely bit, I determined to pocket the affront, and make the best of a take in. But coming across Mr. Strong, I told him that the mare overreached, and was exactly like her old master.” I think it my duty to say, that I believe the man who wrote the above, well knew it was a base and malicious slander.
My neighbors all know, that about thirty years ago, I was reduced by misfortune, and owed more than I was worth. I moved with my wife and five children on to a piece of wild land about five miles from the middle of the town, where I have lived ever since. I had no horse, and though I believe my neighbors all thought me honest, they were not generally fond of trusting a man who had no estate. I applied to Mr. Strong to assist me in getting a horse, and he offered me a young mare, not more than five years old, at a price which I then and ever since thought reasonable if I had paid the money down for her. I gave him my note for the money, and it was as much as a dozen or fifteen years before I paid it. I kept her fifteen or sixteen years, and she proved a useful and valuable mare.
The abovementioned Spy paper says I am an honest old gentleman, and fond of cracking my jokes. After I purchased the mare I met Mr. Strong when I was riding on her, and he asked me how I liked her. I told him I was pleased with the bargain, but she had one fault which might be owing to her education, and which I thought I should soon cure her of. Upon his enquiring what that was, I told him that she was a little apt to overreach; and so did every body else that heard it. Instead of thinking that Mr. Strong ever wronged me, he has been more friendly to me than any other man.
Many times when I have been distressed I have applied to him, and don't remember an instance when he failed to assist me. When demands against me were carried to him to collect, if he could not prevent a suit otherwise he paid the money and took my note for it. Once in particular, a Mr. Alvord, of Montague, demanded of me the pay of an old note which I had given him in my better days, amounting to 10 or £12 and threatened to seize a pair of steers, and the mare abovementioned, which was the best part of my property. I requested him to go with me to Mr. Strong, who told him that my other old creditors, in consideration of my misfortunes, had thrown in a part of their demands, and if he would throw in a certain part he would pay him the rest; he agreed to do it, and Mr. Strong paid him the money in my presence, and took my note for the same sum that he paid, and did not charge me a farthing for his trouble.
Other instances of his kindness to me I shall never forget, though it might be tedious to others to have them repeated. For nearly twenty years, I owed Mr. Strong a considerable sum, and more than I owed every body else; he never asked me for the money, but told me to pay him as fast as I could conveniently, and no faster. I don't at this time owe twenty pounds in the world, and can pay it when it is called for. In my old age, I am in comfortable circumstances, and it is, in a great measure, owing to the assistance I received from Mr. Strong, that I am so. If he had been of such a character as the Spy paper represents him, I should probably now have been poor and destitute. I am lame, and have seldom gone to town for 5 or 6 years, except on the first Monday of April, when I have attended, every year, to give my vote for Mr. Strong as Governor. Though I don't pretend to meddle in politics, yet as long as I can ride five miles, and he is a candidate, I will attend to vote for him. I don't know as he desires to be chosen, but I wish to shew that there is one man who is not ungrateful.
JOHN MILLER.

A pretty sum.—In the Circuit Court of N. Jersey, an action for slander has lately been tried, in which the jury awarded five thousand dollars damage; the whole amount laid in the plaintiff's declaration.—The action was brought by Miss Mary Stockton against Thomas Hopkins. [Cabinet.]
The Maryland papers contain accounts of great destruction by Caterpillars.—They attack every green thing, white clover except.—Whole fields of wheat are invaded by them, and the destruction of head, stalk and blade is immediate. They proceed in immense numbers, discolouring the ground; and baffling the hopes of the husbandman. They are smooth, and vary in length from one quarter to an inch and an half.
Longevity.—Six ladies, in good health, all sisters, lately visited a son of one and nephew of the rest, at Providence. Their ages amounted to 478 years. The eldest 93, the youngest 74.

The Attorney General—again.
From the Repository.
When the Legislature assembled, our only wish was, that a committee, no matter of what politics, should be empowered to enter into a full and general examination of his accounts, as Attorney General, and of his management of monies, belonging to the Commonwealth, which it can be amply proved, he received from various quarters. We confess, we had expected that a proposition to this effect, so plausible in itself, so necessary to the justification of Mr. Sullivan, if he was innocent, could not be opposed by any party.
Had the measure been adopted, we should have been perfectly satisfied, knowing well that the result would have justified our charges, therefore published. But though disappointed in our first wish, in our second, we have been gratified. The majority have now shown to the people of Massachusetts that they will not suffer an investigation of Mr. Sullivan's conduct. The proposition to empower a committee to inquire, and report, the next session; and in the mean time to allow Mr. Sullivan six months, to examine and prepare his accounts, was voted down. A committee was raised, with instructions to report immediately, though they could not possibly avail themselves of evidence, nor ascertain the facts relating to their commission. Short, however, as was the time, evidence appeared, proving that the account which had been rendered was incorrect. One of the senators, (Judge Brigham) declared at the board, that within a few days he had seen the books of the Treasurer of the County of Worcester; and from personal observation, he could affirm, that, instead of 17 dollars and 50 cents credited by Mr. Sullivan, there were charged against him 58 dollars, for which the Treasurer had receipts. This one item would have altered the balance of the account rendered and made Mr. Sullivan debtor to the Commonwealth. In spite of oath, honesty and evidence the majority still voted that the account was correct and the Commonwealth indebted to Mr. Sullivan!!!
Interested as we feel for the character of the Commonwealth, such outrageous conduct is humiliating; but as having accused Mr. Sullivan of peculation, we are satisfied at measures which will open the eyes of the people. Let it now be remembered, that Mr. Sullivan has been allowed already to state, a first and second time, all the credit he has to give. We have already compelled him to give credit for 250 dollars actually on hand at the time (last March) when he solemnly declared he had no money belonging to the Commonwealth for which he had not accounted, and for which he had not receipts, except a certain 150 dollars, not in question. By the next session of the Legislature we shall be prepared to report progress, and certain tyrants will find, to their own shame, that votes are not omnipotent, where there is a free press.
From the Centinel.
Mr. RUSSELL,
AS some observations made by me in the Senate relative to the printing of the laws of the State, have been inaccurately and differently stated in the papers, I hand you the substance of what I did say.
When the subject of dismissing the Editors of the Palladium, and substituting the Editors of the Independent Chronicle, as State Printers was before the Senate, I inquired whether this Independent paper was now edited by the same persons that conducted it some years past; if so there was sufficient reason in my mind to decide my vote against employing them; for that formerly circumstances of business—a knowledge of the French language, and an ardent desire that the French revolution might terminate in a republican government, introduced me to an intimate acquaintance with the, then French Consul (M. Darnery;) who on my calling on him, declared to me with much surprise and astonishment, that he had just received a strange application from the Editors of the Chronicle, viz. a request that he would furnish them with pecuniary means towards the support of their paper; assigning as reasons therefor, that their paper was the only one in Boston that de-
fended the French cause; that they had no doubt the other papers were patronized by the British; and felt they were entitled to some consideration.
As a majority of the board had decided that this Independent paper was to contain our laws, I rose and expressed a desire that the Printers should receive an ample compensation, as it might prevent the necessity of their seeking foreign aid.
I most heartily dispiſe the base insinuations of the Chronicle; and am willing to submit this statement to the decision of the public.

Legislature of Massachusetts.
House of Representatives,
MONDAY, JUNE 23.
An order passed directing the treasurer and secretary to lease out the Province House for one year. [On passing this order, a short conversation ensued.—It was thought by some gentlemen, that it was derogatory to the dignity of a rich Commonwealth, to let out to persons, perhaps, who may do it much injury, or more than the rents will repair, the edifice which was built in former times for the residence of the Governor of Massachusetts.—The time may come, it was said, when a Governor may be chosen from the country; and the exigencies of the times may require that he should reside constantly in Boston; in which case, it was asked, would the pitiful salary of twenty-six hundred dollars per annum, enable him to live in the stile of a Governor of Massachusetts?—And whether, the honor of the state would not then demand, that a residence be furnished him? In which case it would then cost much more than the rent will amount to, to replace the damage it may sustain. On the other hand, it was said, that his excellency the Governor had mentioned, in his speech, that the house was vacant, which to them seemed an intimation that it ought to be made productive to the state. Gentlemen seemed willing that it should be leased by a permanent law, and the avails appropriated as an increase of the nominally "permanent and honorable" salary of the governor. It had been asserted, in the electioneering canvas, that in consequence of a former resolution, directing the repair of the Province House, for the residence of the Governor; that Governor Strong had received an emolument therefrom. Nothing appeared further from the truth than the assertion. It was shown that Governor Strong (owing to there being no appropriation of the House to his use in the resolution) did not think himself authorized to receive any emolument therefrom—and he never has received one cent benefit in consequence of the resolution. He boarded with the family he found in the House; and regularly paid his board.]
The roll of the committee of Accounts was read, and passed. [The amount 12,445 dollars 26 cents.]
Mr. Morton, (the Speaker) Mr. Story, and Mr. Whitman, were appointed to select and purchase books to the amount of 300 dollars, for the library of the House.
TUESDAY, JUNE 24.
A joint committee was raised to wait on His Excellency The Governor, to acquaint him that the two Houses having passed upon all the public business before them, were now ready for a recess.—Soon after the Secretary, (Mr. Austin) came in, and informed that his Excellency had given his assent to twenty five public and private Acts;—of which are the following: an act authorizing a Lottery for the purpose of finishing Hatfield Bridge—an act establishing salaries of the Justices of the Supreme Judicial Court—The Boston Pier additional act—an act to alter the names of certain persons—the Oxford County Common Pleas Court act—an act remitting part of John Vinal's sentence—an act respecting the manufacture of Nails—an act to cede to the U. States the jurisdiction of certain Lands for Light Houses—an act to provide for the inspection of Hops for exportation; and Day's academy additional Act. Also acts changing the name of Partridgefield—to incorporate the Prison Point Dam Corporation—the Stonington Turnpike Corporation—the Middlesex Turnpike Corporation (additional)—the Sanford and Arun-
dell Baptist Society—the Truro pond harbor Corporation; and the Twelfth Massachusetts Turnpike Corporation (additional.) And that his Excellency, with advise of Council, and at the request of the two Houses, had been pleased to adjourn them, until the first Wednesday in January next, then to meet in Boston; and they were accordingly adjourned.

LONDON, MAY 5.
The following is a copy of an official communication made to the Lord Mayor yesterday. It is dated from the Admiralty Office, May 4.
"A dispatch has been received this morning from Vice Admiral Sir J. B. Warren, giving an account of the capture of the Marengo, of 80 guns and 740 men, rear admiral Linois; and the Belle Poule, of 40 guns and 320 men, on the 14th of March, after a running fight of some hours, with his majesty's ships London and the Amazon frigate.
LONDON, MAY 7.
The King of Sweden, in consequence of hostilities having been commenced against his troops by Prussian vessels in his ports. The Swedish troops are evacuating Lauenburg, and retiring to Swedish Pomerania, which it is supposed the Prussians will immediately invade.
The present policy by which the Prussian government are influenced has excited the greatest dissatisfaction, which is no where attempted to be disguised, and which the military are by no means active in representing. Haugwitz is never mentioned without the deepest execration, whilst Hardenburgh is universally beloved and respected. The windows of the house inhabited by the former have been broken, whilst garlands of flowers have been affixed to the house lately possessed by the latter. In the midst of this popular ferment, the distress of the merchants are increasing daily, and a deputation has lately been sent to the King at Potsdam, to lay before him the calamitous situation of their affairs.
There was a report yesterday that count Haugwitz was to be sent to England, to endeavour to adjust the differences between the two governments. A man more unlikely to succeed in such a mission could not easily have been selected. We do not believe the report.
Swedish Bulletin.
Head Quarters of the Swedish army of Griefswald, April 25.
Reports received on the 23d from adjutant gen. count Von Lowenhielm announced that the Prussians had on the 21st taken possession of several villages in the Mecklenburg territory along the frontiers of Lauenburg.
Yesterday Baron Glaf Ralame arrived as a courier with a report from Count Von Lowenhielm, dated Gadbusch, April 23. It is stated in the dispatch, that at half past eight in the morning of the 23d, the Prussians passed the Lauenburg frontier Marrienstatt in such force, that the Swedish troops found it necessary, after a brave resistance, to evacuate their posts in the evening. The loss of the troops under Count Von Lowenhielm consists of one hussar, killed, and eight wounded.
The loss of the Prussians cannot yet be stated with certainty, but during the action it was remarked that some men fell on their side; besides Count Von Lowenhielm has reserved the communication of farther details (which with respect to the conduct of the Prussians will be very ample) until his next Report, which is every moment expected.
STOCKHOLM, APRIL 21.
By the last accounts from Germany we learn that Gen. Kalkreuth, who commands the Prussian troops destined to act against Swedish Pomerania (and who had halted) has received fresh orders to march; but private letters from Berlin give reason to believe that matters between the two countries, will be accommodated.

FOURTH OF JULY.
The Federal Republicans of Portland and its vicinity, are requested to repair to the Office of the Maine Fire and Marine Insurance Company, and put their names to a Subscription paper for a dinner on the ever memorable anniversary of American Independence.—Merchants, Mechanics, Professional men and all those who revere the character and principles of Washington, Adams and Strong, are invited to join in this approaching Jubilee, that our political birth day may be celebrated with those demonstrations of joy and convivial pleasure, which give vigour to patriotic feelings, and add strength and spirit to the cause of true republicanism which is federalism.
It is intended to unite economy with liberality in the entertainment, the expense may be known at the time of subscribing. Early application will much facilitate the arrangements.
This being our only national festival let it be celebrated with "songs and drums and guns and mutual congratulations" as was recommended in July 1776 by the venerable but inscribed JOHN ADAMS.
Federal Mechanics of Portland, you who have to the pride and honor of this town uniformly manifested your adherence to the principles of WASHINGTON, of GOOD GOVERNMENT and RATIONAL LIBERTY, upon all public occasions, are particularly requested to join in celebrating the day and commemorating the virtues and services of those patriots who gave us the charter of our civil and religious rights.
The subscribers will assemble on that day at Union Hall, where refreshment will be provided; the procession will form at eleven o'clock and proceed under an escort to the Rev. Mr. Kellogg's Meeting House, where an oration will be pronounced by Mr. Edward Payson.
A Subscription is lodged at I. Adams' Book-Store, where federal republicans of all classes, who may find it more convenient to call there, than at the Insurance Office, are invited to subscribe.
Foreign News.—From Europe we have intelligence to the 8th of May; no event of much importance has taken place of late; the North of Europe is still in a very unsettled state.
A serious misunderstanding exists between Prussia and Sweden—a party of Swedes have been attacked by a body of Prussians, who after making a slight resistance retreated.
The King of Sweden is making preparations for defence, and should not an accommodation be effected with Prussia, the former will be supported by Russia.
Naval Engagement.—On the 13th of March, an engagement took place between the London, capt. Sir. H. Neale, and the Amazon, capt. W. Parker, and the French, ship Marengo, of 80 guns, Rear Ad. Linois, and the frigate, Belle Poule of 40 guns, when after a contest of about 4 hours, the French ships struck to the British.
American Commerce.—On the 6th of May a bill authorizing American vessels to trade with the British West Indies by permission of the King and Council, was read a second time and committed for Thursday the 8th of May; this bill has met with much opposition of the mercantile class, as a measure calculated to operate against their interest.
America and Great-Britain.—The Southern papers inform that accounts from Mr. Munroe, our Minister at the Court of St. James, state that all disputes between the two countries are in a favourable train of amicable adjustment.
The Slave Trade.—It is said the British government have forbidden the buying out American vessels in England, for the Guinea trade—and English vessels were not to be allowed to sell slaves in the U. S.
Miranda's Expedition.—The accounts which have been published of the progress of this modern Adventurer are so vague and contradictory that it is impossible to tell where he is or to determine whether good or ill fortune has attended him.
THE SEASON.
For a number of years past, has not been so backward and unpromising for the Farmer as the present; the drought is remarkably severe; there having been little or no rain in the vicinity for five weeks past, people from the country say, they do not expect to cut more than half their usual quantity of Hay and that every kind of vegetation is in a suffering state, for want of the refreshing showers which are common at this season of the year.
The Legislature was adjourned on Tuesday last, to the first Wednesday of January next. The Hon. Council is adjourned to August.
The committee, appointed, to examine the accounts of the Attorney General have reported the result of their inquiry so far as respects the county of Hampshire and state a balance of about sixteen dollars due Mr. Sullivan, on a motion to accept the report, the federal Senators urged a postponement till the winter session that the enquiry might be extended to the other counties, but the stiff-standing majority in the Senate voted to put a stop to all further investigation of the subject; so much for the accountability of public officers under the reign of democracy.

Having the power and efficacy of religion at an early period of life, a reverence of the present world; instead of following the multitude in that which is evil, she chose to be unflinching, by living as the grace God teaches—soberly, righteously, and Godly. Thus awaiting her Lord. When she appeared to take her to herself, she, with unshaken confidence, departed this life—and now, not only rests from her labors, but, for her eminent piety, is rewarded (in a way of grace) with an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not away.
In Constantinople, the Sultana Valide, (mother of the Grand Seignor) aged 73. She was indebted for her elevation, to some very fortunate and extraordinary circumstances.—By the barbarous customs of the Kings of the East, which are still perpetuated by their descendants, they can only give successors to the Empire by an union with slaves; so as to prevent ambitious contentions, all the female children of such connections are incapacitated from becoming mothers. The Sultana Valide was a Georgian slave, the property of Veli Effendi, a former Grand Muti, who made her a present to Sultan Mustapha. As she was handsome, and a good manager, she captivated her master, obtained the handkerchief, and had the good fortune to give birth to the present Emperor.
In France, admiral Villeneuve, commander in chief of the combined French and Spanish fleet in the battle off Trafalgar. He was found dead in his chamber, at Morlaix, in the night of the 22d April; where he had just arrived from England. He had given himself five wounds with a knife in his left side.

Miscellaneous.  Memoir of Miss Caroline Symmons. From the Eclectic Review . This surprising young lady was the daughter of the Rev. Charles Symmons, D. D. In the bloom of corporeal and mental accomplishments, she was prematurely snatched away at the age of fourteen. Mr. Wrangham, an English poet, associates the history of this "uncommonly gifted young female with that of James' daughter. There was among other coincidences, which we may suppose, an equality of age, and similarity, no doubt, in the workings of parental grief and filial affection. A supernatural resurrection, like that of James' daughter, was not to be expected. But he who said, I am the Resurrection and the Life ! tho' he sees fit not to raise up departed worth at our solicitation and tears, will one day raise it up to himself.  We transcribe some of the ingenious productions of this prodigy of poetry; and transplant, from their native, lovely bed some blossoms of infant female genius, which would not dishonour the brow of a Parnassus. The following, it appears, was written when she was but eleven years of age.
THE FLOWER GIRL'S CRY. "Come buy my wood hare-bells, my cowslips come by! O take my carnations, and jessamines sweet; Lest their beauties should wither, their perfumes should die, All snatch'd like myself from their native retreat."  "O ye who in pleasure and luxury live, Whose bosoms would sink beneath half my sad woes; Ah! deign to my cry a kind answer to give, And shed a soft tear for the fate of poor Rose."  "Yet once were my days happy, sweet and serene; And once have I tasted the balm of repose; But now on my cheek meagre famine is seen, And anguish prevails in the bosom of Rose."  "Then buy my wood hare-bells, my cowslips come by! O take my carnations, and jessamines sweet; Lest their beauties should wither, their perfumes should die, All snatch'd like myself from their native retreat."  P. 24.
ON A BLIGHTED ROSE-BUD. "Scarce had thy velvet lips imbib'd the dew, And nature hail'd the infant queen of May; Scarce saw the opening bloom the sun's broad ray, And to the air thy tender fragrance threw: When the north wind enamour'd of thee grew, And by his cold rude kiss thy charms decay. Now droops thine head, now fades thy blushing hue; No more the queen of flowers, no longer gay."  So blooms a maid, her guardian's health and joy, Her mind array'd in innocence's vest; When suddenly, impatient, to destroy, Death clasps the virgin to his iron breast. She fades—The parent, sister friend deplore, The charms and budding virtues now no more.  P. 22.
The following little anecdote deserves mention as evincing the force of her attachment to poetical pursuits. She declared there was no personal sacrifice of face or form, however prized by her sex, which she would not make, to have been the author of L'Allegro and II Penseroso . And one morning, when returning home from undergoing a very painful operation, by Ware, the oculist; and when, in consequence, some apprehension was entertained of her loss of an eye, she declared, with a smile, that to be a MILTON, she would consent to be deprived like him of both eyes. Fervent as was her thirst for poetical excellence, we are happy to find that it did not impair her inclination for religious exercises. On this view of her character, Mr. W. throws a cheering light in the following paragraph.  "Not less remarkable than the beauties of her person, the elegance of her taste, the strength of her understanding, and the goodness of her heart, was her steadfast and humble piety. Through the whole of her illness, she was constant in her devotions; and, when the extreme weakness and emaciation occasioned by malady made the posture of kneeling (long painful) at length impracticable,
she deeply regretted the circumstance, as disqualifying her for offering her adorations in a suitable manner. With such a disposition, it will not be matter of surprise that her behaviour, at all times exemplary, in the hours immediately preceding her dissolution should have been admirable. Not a single complaint fell from her lips. Even on the last morning of her earthly existence, when she had expressed to her maid a wish to die, she instantly corrected herself, and said—"No, it is sinful to wish for death; I will not wish for it."
