From the NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
A VIEW Of the relative strength of parties, in the United States, in the years 1800 and 1802.
IT is asserted in the Federal prints that since the commencement of the presidency of Mr. Jefferson, the Republican party has been losing ground, and that the loss sustained by them is so great as to create a probability that the next presidential election will restore the government to the federal party. This declaration is made in a great variety of shapes, accompanied by muchlander cast upon the present administration. It is not my intention to repel calumny by the ordinary weapon that is made use of for that purpose. I should feel myself degraded were I capable of insulting the public with the language of a black-guard or the falsehood of a liar. I shall, on the contrary, in as plain language as I can, state facts, and trust to the good sense of my readers to make the proper inferences.
I know no farther criterion of the relative strength of party at the close of the year 1800, than the votes then given for President & Vice-President. That election was one of great interest, called forth the entire strength of party, and respects intimately the point, so warmly disputed, whether the present President has or has not lost the public confidence. It has been said by the federalists that some of the electoral votes given to Mr. Jefferson were not the result of a fair expression of the public will, which was in such cases decidedly in favor of his predecessor, Mr. Adams. This is not believed: But if true, it would, by operating to the diminution of the strength of the republican party in 1800, exhibit, on comparison, a proportional increase in 1802, and would of course in this view as far as it went, produce a conclusion unfavorable to the federalists. In making a comparison between the two proposed periods we shall exhibit the result of the political strength of each State, first by the number of votes given in 1800 to Mr. Jefferson; secondly by stating from the best existing authorities, the votes that would be now given, were an election to take place.
The votes given for President and Vice-President at the close of the year 1800 were as follows:
   Republican, Federal.    New-Hampshire, 0 6  Massachusetts, 0 16  Rhode-Island, 0 4  Connecticut, 0 9  Vermont, 0 4  New-York, 12 0  New-Jersey, 0 7  Pennsylvania, 8 7  Delaware, 0 3  Maryland, 5 5  Virginia, 21 0  Kentucky, 4 0  Tennessee, 3 0  North-Carolina, 8 4  South-Carolina, 8 0  Georgia, 4 0  73 65  Federal 65  
Majority in 1800, 8 Were an election of President to take place now, under the new census, the votes would stand as follows:
   Republican, Federal.    New-Hampshire, 0 7  Massachusetts, 0 19  Rhode-Island, 4 0  Connecticut, 0 9  Vermont, 6 0  New-York, 19 0  New-Jersey, 8 0  Pennsylvania, 20 0  Delaware, 3 0  Maryland, 6 5  Virginia, 24 0  North-Carolina, 10 4  South-Carolina, 10 0  Georgia, 6 0  Kentucky, 8 0  Tennessee, 5 0  129 44  Federal 44  
Majority 85 Or nearly three votes to one.
That this statement is as correct, as any one which is hypothetical can reasonably be expected to be, will appear from the following exposition: With regard to
New-Hampshire, the whole votes being given to the federalists, there can be no controversy. Massachusetts and Connecticut, the same. Rhode-Island, the election being made by general ticket, which is the same mode pursued in 1800, the recent election of members of the Legislature, who are chosen by the same voters as the electors, is an unequivocal evidence of
the public sentiment. The republican votes given were about three times the number of the federal.
Vermont, the electors are chosen by the Legislature, whose republicanism is manifest from their choice of Mr. Bradley, as federal Senator, by a very respectable majority.
New-York, by a permanent law, the electors are chosen by the Legislature. In the present Legislature there are 78 republican, and 23 federal members. Of the members of Congress recently chosen, 10 are republican, and 7 federal.
New-Jersey, the present Legislature is decidedly republican.
In this State the electors are chosen by the Legislature.
Pennsylvania, in this State, federalism has so little strength, that it is believed that at the ensuing election in October for members of Congress, there will not be a single federalist elected in the whole delegation of eighteen. In both branches of the Legislature there is a great majority republican. It is unknown whether there is any fixed mode for choosing electors, but the result would be the same in any mode.
Delaware, the result is not absolutely certain, but there is every probability that the same majority that chose a republican governor, will choose a republican assembly.
Maryland, five federal electors out of six are allowed, to avoid the imputation of partiality, though of the present Legislature, the Senate is entirely republican, as are two thirds of the other branch.
Virginia, no human being entertains a doubt of her vote being entire. Nine tenths of her Legislature are republican.
North-Carolina, the election is in districts. A new Legislature has been just chosen, which is decidedly republican: The precise number on each side are not known.
South-Carolina, the election is by the Legislature, which, being chosen only every two years, is the same that voted for electors in 1800. There has, therefore, been no regular expression of the public will; but accounts that may be relied on, furnish indisputable evidences of the growth of republicanism in that State.
Of Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee, there never have been entertained the least doubts.
After this statement, can there be a doubt of the present administration possessing more fully the confidence of the people than has been the case at any antecedent period? They who proclaim their doubts must be deeply deluded themselves, or disposed miserably to delude others. This statement exhibits not the ordinary complexion of public opinion, derived from vague information, or unfounded premises, on the accuracy of which an honest contrariety of sentiment may exist; but the decided, regular, constitutional expression of the public will on the election of a Chief Magistrate. It is in vain to say the people are deluded, and their verdict is good for nothing. This may do extremely well for closet declamation, but it does not touch the point; for from every symptom of republicanism, if so be republican be madness, then are the people beyond all cure. Should we extend our views to the next presidential election and allow to the federalists the full extent of their visionary dreams, not one of which promises realization, we shall find that an election of a federal President is morally impossible.
(To be Continued.)
From a late LONDON Paper.
ALGIERS, formerly a kingdom, is bounded E. by the kingdom of Tunis, N. by the Mediterranean, S. by Mount Atlas, and W. by the Morocco and Tafilit. It extends 480 miles along the coast of the Mediterranean, is between 40 and 100 miles in breadth, and is the greatest of the Barbary States.
The country produces salt-petre, and great quantities of excellent salt. In many parts it is very fertile, and supplies the inhabitants with a great deal of corn. The valleys abound with a variety of fruit, but the melons are most exquisite to the taste. The air is mild and temperate, except in the months of July and August.
The city of Algiers is said to contain 100,000 Mahometans (which is the religion of the country) 15,000 Jews, and 2000 Christian Slaves; but no estimate can be formed as to the populousness of its territory.—Some travellers report, that it is inhabited by a friendly hospitable people, who are very different in their manners and customs from those of the metropolis.
The city of Algiers is not above a mile and a half in circuit, though it is computed to contain 15,000 dwellinghouses, and 100 mosques. The prospect of the country and sea from Algiers is very beautiful, being built on the declivity of a mountain; but the city, tho' it has for several ages braved some of the greatest powers in Christendom, could make but a ill defence against a regular siege; and it is

said that three English 50 gun ships might batter it about the ears of its inhabitants from the harbor. If so the Spaniards, must have been very deficient either in courage or conduct: They attacked it in 1775, by land and by sea, but were repulsed with great loss, tho' they had near 20,000 foot, and 2000 horse, 47 ships of different sizes, and 346 transports. In 1783 & 1784, they renewed their attacks, but were compelled to retire without either its capture or extinction! The mole of the harbor is 500 paces in length, extending from the Continent to a small Island, where is a castle and a large battery.
It is governed by a Turkish Pasha, or Dey, but very little regard is paid to his authority by his ferocious subjects. When a vacancy of the Government happens, which it commonly does by murder, every soldier in the army, has a vote in choosing the succeeding Dey; and though the election is generally attended with much bloodshed, yet he is no sooner fixed, than he is cheerfully recognised. His power is despotic, and his income amounts to about 150,000. a year, without greatly oppressing his subjects, who are very tenacious of their property. The Dey pays a slight annual tribute to the Porte. Subordinate to the Dey are officers both military and civil; and in all matters of importance, he is expected to take the advice of a Common Council, which consists of thirty Pashas. These Pashas seldom fail to have the soldiers on their side, and the Dey is often deposed, or assassinated, while holding his council; but sometimes, though very seldom, he resigns to save his life. Too pacific a government, or an unsuccessful expedition, is almost certain to put an end to his life and authority.
How long the Powers of Europe will suffer these depredators to domineer over them, and disturb their commerce, time alone will determine; but it is most ardently to be wished, that, though they may not be totally annihilated, they will in future be rendered incapable of committing their hitherto unpunished acts of piracy.
Correspondence between Buonaparte, and the Dey of Algiers.
"Buonaparte, First Consul, to the very high and very magnificent Dey of Algiers; whom God preserve in prosperity and glory!"
"I WRITE you this letter direct, because I know you have ministers who deceive you, and who induce you to conduct yourself in a manner that may bring upon you the greatest misfortunes. This letter will be delivered into your hands by an Adjutant of my Palace. Its purport is to demand from you prompt reparation, and such as I have a right to expect, from the sentiments you have always entertained for me. A French officer has been beaten in the road of Tunis by one of your officers, Rais. The agent of the Republic has demanded satisfaction and could not obtain it. Two briggs of war, have been taken by your corsairs, which carried them to Algiers, and have retarded them on their voyage—A Neapolitan vessel has been seized by your corsairs in Hieres road, by which act the French territory has been violated—In short, of the vessel which was cast away last winter on your coast, 150 men are still missing detained in the hands of barbarians. I demand reparation from you for all these grievances; and not doubting but that you will take all the measures which I should take in similar circumstances, I dispatch a vessel to bring home to France the missing men:—I beseech you moreover to mistrust those, your ministers who are enemies to France; you cannot have greater enemies, and if I desire to live in peace with you, it is essential, that you should preserve the good understanding about to be re-established, which alone can maintain you in that rank and prosperity you now enjoy; for God has decreed the punishment of all those who are unjust towards me.
If you wish to live in friendship with me, you must not expect to treat me as a feeble power; you must cause the French flag to be respected, as likewise, that of the Italian Republic, which has nominated me its Chief, and you must make me reparation for all the injuries which I have sustained—This letter being intended for no other purpose, I request you to read it yourself, with attention, and let me know, by return of the officer I send you, the resolution you mean to take."
Whatever were the secret intentions of the Dey, he only testified the desire of living in a good understanding with the French Republic—"I with always to be," says he, "the friend of Buonaparte."
He promised and actually gave every satisfaction that was demanded by the First Consul. To render particular homage to Buonaparte, in the person of his envoy, he was disposed even to dispense with the ordinary forms, and contrary to the immemorial usages of the regency, he received, in the most magnificent Kisok of his gardens, the officer of the palace, the Charge d'Affairs of the Republic, the contre admiral Lissagues and his numerous escort-majors—It was in that place, that he delivered to Gen. Hullin the answer which he had prepared for the First Consul, in substance as follows:
"In the name of the only God, the God of mankind, our master the illustrious and magnificent Lord Mustafa Pacha, Dey of Algiers, whom God preserve in glory."
"To our friend Buonaparte, First Consul of the Republic of France, President of the Italian Republic—"
"I salute you, the peace of God be with you."
"Hereby, our friend, I inform you that I have received your letter dated the 29th Messidor. I have read it; it was delivered to me by the General of your Palace, & your (Vakil) charge d'affaires, Dubois Thainville. I reply article by article."
"1st—You complain of Rais Ali-Tartar, although he is one of my Joldaces, I decreed
that he should be put to death. At the instant of the execution of his sentence, your Vakil demanded his pardon in your name, as a favor, and for your sake I have reprieved him."
"2d—You demand from me the Neapolitan polacre, taken, you say, under the cannon of France. The particulars of this transaction, as reported to you, are not correct; but agreeably to your request, I have delivered up eight Christians composing its crew; I have surrendered them to your Vakil."
"3d—You demand a Neapolitan vessel, which, it is said, sailed from Corsu with French clearances. No French papers were found on board; but, in conformity to your desire, I have set the crew at liberty, and have delivered them to your Vakil."
"4th—You demand the punishment of the Rais who brought into this port two vessels belonging to the French Republic. According to your request I have discharged him from my service; but I must inform you that my Rais know not how to read European characters; they are only acquainted with the usual passports, and for this reason, it will be proper that the vessels of war belonging to the French Republic, should make some signal, whereby they may be known by my corsairs."
"5th—You demand 150 men, who you say are in my territories; there does not one of them exist. It was God's will that they all should perish, a circumstance which occasioned me great pain."
"6th—You say there are certain persons who give me counsels that may embroil me with you. Our friendship is solid and ancient, and all those who seek to embroil us, shall be disappointed."
"7th—You demand that I shall be the friend of the Italian Republic. I will respect its flag the same as your own, as you desire it—Had any one else made a similar request, I would not have granted it for a million of dollars."
"8th—You would not give me the 200,000 dollars which I demanded of you, as a recompense for the losses which I have sustained for you. Whether you will give them, or will not give them, we will notwithstanding, always be good friends."
"9th—I have terminated with my friend, Dubois Thainville, your Vakil, every thing respecting the corsair fishery, which your vessels can immediately resume."
"The African company shall enjoy the same prerogatives which it formerly enjoyed; I have given orders to the Bey of Constantinople, to afford it every possible protection."
"10th—I have satisfied you in every respect as you have desired, in whatever you have demanded: In return, you will satisfy me, as I have satisfied you."
"11th—Therefore, I request that you will give orders, that the nations my enemies may not navigate under your flag nor that of the Italian Republic; that there may be no further discussions between us, as I with always to be friends with you."
"12th—I have ordered my Rais to respect the French flag at sea. I will punish the first who shall bring a French vessel into my ports."
"If at any time hereafter any discussions should be necessary between us, write to me direct, and every thing shall be amicably arranged:—I salute you; may God continue you in glory."
"Algiers, this thirteenth of the Moon, Rabaid-Ewel, in the year of the Hegira, 1217."
In concluding this business, I ought to inform the First Consul, that the Adjutant-Commandant of the Palace, Hullin, and the Contre-Admiral Lissagues, have fulfilled the commission entrusted to them, with dignity, firmness and circumspection.

From the RICHMOND EXAMINER.
TO J. T. CALLENDER.
IN the American Revolutionary war, I fought for my country—I had her approbation; I was honored with her confidence in the public councils.
The wheel of fortune became adverse, and my decrepitude from the palsy constrained me to ask for a subsistence. The Cincinnati, among whom were Generals Marshall and Wood, Colonels Carrington, Heath, and Bentley, respectable characters, readily contributed, and have given me a subsistence for life. Several of the gentlemen differ from me in politics; but does that authorise me to abuse them? Does that circumstance lessen their talents or their virtues? No—Early last year, I informed Mr. Thomas Jefferson, that I was in want; he immediately requested Mr. George Jefferson, of this city, to pay me fifty dollars which was done.
I wrote to Mr. Jefferson, the President, that I wished to return, last Spring, to Kentucky, and requested some little aid to support me on my journey; he generously sent me thirty dollars more. I have heard that you, like myself, are poor; that you have children in Philadelphia that were in want; that in your distress, having mentioned your sufferings in the cause of liberty, that good man, the President, whom I have known for thirty years, whose character as a man of benevolence, talents and virtue, dignify the human heart, sent you, at different times, to the amount of one hundred dollars: For his charity you have repaid him with the vilest abuse.
Such base ingratitude must on serious reflection, sting your conscience to the quick—You boast that your writings turned Mr. Adams out of office and placed Mr. Jefferson in the Presidential chair—matchless vanity!
No, Mr. Callender, you are much mistaken; the sedition law, and the improper and rigorous conduct of Judge Chase, did more injury to the federalists, than the writings of a thousand Cal-
lenders.—You Mr. Callender have no more weight with the independent republicans, than the fly on the wheel of a coach, contributes to its motion.
You have made a wrong estimate of your talents and your consequence; you are of importance to neither party—Republican or Federal. The republicans supported you, because they thought you the victim of persecution and the martyr of liberty. By your base abandonment of principle, you have drawn on yourself eternal infamy and disgrace, and this without securing the confidence or esteem of the federalists.
They consider you as a second Judas, you have sold your principles for gold, and while they applaud the treason they must abhor the traitor.
Know also, Sir, that there are very many gentlemen who reside in this city as well as many others who dwell at a distance from it, who have been as benevolent to me, and shall have my grateful and respectful thanks during my exile.

It is with real concern we notice the commencement of a civil war in Switzerland.—Blood has been already shed, and the smaller cantons seem determined to resist, with all their power, the introduction of the new Constitution of Helvetia. It is not difficult to anticipate the issue of this unfortunate contest—they must yield to the united force of the other states, supported by the power and influence of France.
We have already expressed an opinion, that Toussaint would not be brought to a public trial. He has been confined in the castle of Joux, situated near Mount Jura, where he is probably destined to pass the remainder of his life.
September 13.
By a gentleman arrived at Plymouth, who has been making a tour of France, and particularly of its principal sea-ports, we learn the following interesting particulars—There will be, in the course of this and the next month, ready for launching, 16 men of war, from 74 to 120 guns, at Brest, Rochefort, and L'Orient. Provisions of all kinds were very dear, particularly in Paris.
General Andreossi, it is said, is to make his public entrance into London on the 23d Sept. a day purposely selected, as it should seem, for it corresponds with the 1st Vendemiaire of the French Calendar, or new year's day, and is the day on which France was declared to be a Republic. His Excellency's suit will be very numerous and splendid. M. Portalis, jun. who was one of the secretaries of the French legation at Amiens, is to be secretary to the embassy.
September 16.
A Portuguese Squadron, of two fair of the line and seven frigates and sloops of war, is now collected at Gibraltar, which are to sail with an intention of blockading Algiers, in hopes of forcing the Dey to conclude a peace with them.

Citizen MAZ ET, Captain of Artillery, at Dieppe, (France) after having eaten a hearty dinner with his Mistress, shot himself, a few days ago, under the chin with a pistol loaded with three balls. His head was shattered in a frightful manner; one of the bullets took out one of his eyes; but the two others, which no doubt reached the brain, could not be found. The unfortunate man had full knowledge enough remaining to perceive that he had not fully perpetrated his crime, and with a dagger again wounded himself in several parts of the body, without being able, after all, to succeed in his murderous attempt; thus circumstanced, he was carried to a hospital, where he expired the next day, in the most excruciating agonies. This deluded man was hurried to the criminal act by desperation; he had made too free with the company's money, and at the eve of being reduced, he saw no probability of being able to make it good.

WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 1. Authentic information has been received at the seat of Government that the report lately circulated stating an intention on the part of the officers commanding certain French frigates to land a number of negroes on the coast of South-Carolina, is entirely without foundation; and that measures have been taken to punish the author of the report; relying on the most authentic information, we felt it our duty farther to state, that the savage order, said to have been issued by the commanding General of the Militia of that State, directing in the event of those negroes being landed as reported, that not any of them should be made prisoners, but that they should be indiscriminately put to death, or in other words, inhumanly butchered or massacred; is also false, malicious and groundless, there not having existed the slightest pretext for that calumnious report.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.  Extracts in the Editor dated Trenton, Oct. 28. This day a joint meeting of the Legislature took place for the election of Governor and Senator to Congress. The votes were for GOVERNOR. SENATOR. Jos. Bloomfield 26 Dr. J. Coudt 26 Rich. Stockton 26 A. Ogden 26 Of course no election took place. It is not expected that another joint meeting will take place, as the republicans plainly perceive that if any thing could satisfy the opposite party the moderation of Gen. Bloomfield would; and the tory party seem determined to turn him out for his condescension, which they do not attribute to liberality but to fear. It is very evident that no measures but such as they would themselves pursue are calculated to bring that party to a proper conduct. It is believed here that no business will be done during the session, as the adverse party are determined to oppose and counteract every measure which the republicans propose. Mr. Lambert, a determined republican, is in virtue of his office as President of the council, the Lieutenant-Governor, and of course will exercise the duties of Governor of the State, should this party continue to obstruct the regular course of public business.
November 3. THOMAS PAINE, the early and uniform asserter of the Rights of Mankind , and author of the immortal revolutionary papers called Common Sense , and the Crisis , arrived at Baltimore on Saturday last. The arrival of this interesting man, whose history as has been well observed, is interwoven with the immortality of two Revolutions and three Nations of the first distinction in human annals, was as might be expected, an object of interest and curiosity to the old who knew his services, and to the young who had heard of his fame in all the opposite modes which political sympathy or hatred could employ to express their respect or abhorrence of the asserter of freedom. It is, however, a circumstance honorable to the character of Baltimore, that the efforts of hypocrisy have not been competent to produce a violence under the pretence of religious zeal, disgraceful of and inconsistent with religion.
About ten days since there appeared in one of the tory prints of New-York, a flaming account of an infernal landing , of infernal French negroes , with infernal intentions , from on board an infernal French frigate at Long Bay in N. Carolina—we published it at the time, convinced that it was an infernal story , contrived like the object of Dr. Morse's Ocean Malleare , to affect the Boston election —behold the same papers now come out with another lie to unlie their infernal lie —and tell their readers with conflagrate contempt for their understanding, that it was a false alarm , and only originated in the appearance of one man!
TRENTON November 1. From present appearances, there is little room to expect that a Governor will be appointed this year. In such case, the Vice-President is invested by the 8th section of the Constitution of New-Jersey, with all the powers and attributes which attach to the office of Governor.—As the Vice-President is an inflexible republican; and as the appointment of Senator, if not made by joint meeting, will devolve upon him; the republicans can lose nothing by the obliquity of their opponents, but the pleasure of re-appointing their present Governor.—While any injury or inconvenience which may accrue to the State or to individuals from the want of a Governor, will be justly chargeable to the federal party, who, without strength to appoint another, in the first instance prevented the re-appointment of the present Governor, and in the second refused even to allow an opportunity of making a choice.
NEW-YORK, November 1.  Extracts of a Letter received by the Determined Rover, dated Cape-Francois, Sept. 28. "The Government has imposed a tax or contribution on the inhabitants of the Island, as follows: On women resident in the country, 6 dolls. per head; on men of the poorest class, without discrimination of colour, 8 dolls.—American merchants from 750 to 900 dolls.—French merchants from 450 to 600; one half to be paid down and the residue in 30 days; in case of default, 5 per cent. for one month is to be exacted, and then an arrest and sale of property without delay." "Independent of those taxes, they have caused every American resident in the Cape to enroll themselves in the national guard, and will no doubt have to go into actual service, on a call of necessity; and that this will be the case, appears inevitable, as the brigades are at their gates, in sight of the town, nightly concentrating the surrounding plains, and murdering the inhabitants."
"The severe and incorrigible plunders have so much paralyzed the commerce of the country, that all sales and purchases have comparatively ceased, which has been the cause of my detention: For all demands have ceased; and many in trade are obliged to pay to government their all, in consequence of the above arbitrary measure."
Federal account, therefore doubtful. Capt. Noble, of the brig Friends Adventure , who arrived here on Saturday in 17 days from Cape Francois, informs us that in the night of the 8th Oct. a party of the negroes of St. Domingo took forcible possession of Port-de-Paix, and it is expected have inflicted most of its inhabitants. Two boats full of people who had fled, arrived at the Cape, some of them mortally wounded.—On the 10th, the Admiral sent a frigate and a sloop of war, with troops, to endeavor to retake it: with what success, Capt. Noble could not learn, as he failed on the 11th. At his departure he heard very heavy cannonading of Port-de-Paix. On the 22d, in lat. 32, 40, N. lon. 72, 52, W. spoke a ship from England, bound to New-Providence, with hoops, very much disabled, having carried away her main top-mast and main yard and split all her sails to pieces.
November 3. Last evening one of the most alarming Fires that has ever happened in this city, broke out in a stable in Bridge Street between Whitehall & Broad Street . The wind blowing fresh from S. W. the flames made their way through Bridge Street into Stone Street , with uncontrollable fury; and in less than one hour and an half, the whole square, consisting of about fifty buildings, mostly dwelling-houses, were either burnt, pulled down or gutted. We are unable to state the origin or extent of the calamity; among the sufferers, are Mr. A. Carol, Col. Boyd, Mr. Peter Meffer, Mr. James Chestham, Mr. R. Snyder, Mr. Cannemya, &c.
Translation of a Letter written by Rear Admiral La Crosse, Captain-General of Guadalupe, to Mr. Pichon.  Basseterre, Sept. 26, 1802. I have the honor to inform you, Citizen Commissary, that by a decision just taken by Citizen Lescallier, counsellor of State, colonial prefect of Guadalupe, all the ports of this Colony shall in future be open; as formerly, to the American vessels, and the exportation of colonial produce permitted on paying duties. (Signed) LACROSSE. The information received by Mr. Pichon, states the Colony to be in want of provisions, and especially salt beef and pork.
PORTLAND, Nov. 1.  CRISPIN. Last Tuesday was the Anniversary of the birth of this patron of SHOEMAKERS.—The masters and journeymen of the profession celebrated the day at Newburyport.—A handsome repast was provided for the occasion. Harmony and sociability pervaded the festive board, and a number of appropriate toasts were given by the company; from which we select the following: CRISPIN, the worthy patron of our order: May every son of the awl celebrate the birth and reverence the memory of that illustrious mechanic. The Mechanics of the United States: May those, who disrespect this useful order, become less haughty, and more punctual in making payments. Religion without superstition, Freedom without anarchy, and honest men without poverty. Leaky Boats and foul weather to every invader of the public happiness. May boot-trees, hammer, and lap-stones be about the heads of all those, who are attempting to dispose of us of our liberty and independence. The Fair Sex, for whom we have the highest esteem: May the flux of matrimony set easy and wear long. Much employment, short credit, and punctual payment to every honest mechanic in the universe.
Massachusetts Congressional Election. ON Monday, the election of Representatives to the Eighth Congress of the United States, took place in the seventeen Districts at this Commonwealth. The following is a correct statement of the votes, in the several towns that we have heard from. We can speak with certainty of the choice of Dr. Wm. Eustis, the Hon. Jacob Crowninshield, the Hon. J. B. Varnum, Ebenezer Dyer, Esq., the Hon. Phoebe Byers, and the Hon. T. J. Skinner. The probability also, is, that Messrs. Cutis, Kingsley, and Green, are elected.—All undeviating Republicans. Our accounts respecting the Election in this State, fully confirm what was stated in the last Chronicle. There is very little doubt of NINE members being Republican, to eight federalists. When the returns are complete, we shall exhibit them in one view.
[Bost. Chron.] On the 21st Sept. the British High Court of Admiralty met at New-Providence, 2 weeks after adjournment, and proceeded on the trial of four persons charged with piracy, belonging to the schooner M'Kee , M'Kee , Bowles privateer, taken at Harbour Island . They were all found guilty, and sentenced to death, and were to be hanged the 5th ult.
BONAPARTE's horse wardrobe is perhaps, the most sumptuous and valuable in the world. Some of the saddles of his own horses are valued at 80,000 francs each. The wardrobe keeper is an Englishman of the name of Milbourn.
NEWPORT,  Saturday, November 13, 1802.
However painfully humiliating the task, we are under the necessity of stooping to notice the handsome, and becoming observations which appeared in the last Newport Mercury , under the Newport head . They were undoubtedly the effusions of that mystic looking little runt of a bite-flint, who ( ex officio ) acts as its editor; and who, from a total want of any laudable or useful talents, avails himself of party prejudice, and political aspersion, to furnish the ordinary requisite of his purse: For unless he should enlist, and prostitute himself in this way, he would linger in society and through life, neglected and despised. But as it is truly said, " nothing is made in vain ." Even this frustrated, and abortive monster, though universally ridiculed, despised, and detested, evidently answers a purpose in the system of nature and political morality—that of standing in dishonor, vice, guilt, sin, profanation, and iniquity, a lasting monument of avpidance. His weekly productions often bring to mind the expressions of Milton , when speaking of his young Jatans . We will try to recite them, because they apply with admirable aptitude. Applied to the " Dep. Sec. & pub. not. ex officio " they would read thus:—
"To do aught good never will be his task, But ever to do ill his chief delight, as Being contrary his high will whom most he Resists."
If any measure is like to bring forth good, his object is to pervert that end; and out of good still to find means of evil. It might afford one clue to his character, to state the manner, and means, in and by which he obtained the secondary offices in which, with so much pomp and ostentation, he has of late been thundering on the world; sporting with oaths and wantoning, in perjury: But this task we defer for the present, under a firm persuasion that, in future, he will strive for a little more decency.
He has been much in the habit of " wielding the lash of satire " (as his phrase is) against certain individuals of a particular party, charging them with deistical sentiments. Now it can be proved beyond all controversy that this very " Dep. Sec. " is not merely an advocate for deistical tenets, but is in act, word, and deed, the greatest blasphemer in the land—and that he actually keeps a register of profane, and anti-christian expressions, that he may be enabled on all occasions to hand them out with facility, and grace, and enjoy the honor of their wit, and invention.
With regard to the abusive inuendo with which he commonly cloaths, and as he supposes, adorns the paper under his direction, viz. the Mercury , we have nothing to say. He has, by enlisting under the banners of Jobinism , become privileged in scandal, gossiping, and defamation: They are the natural, and only weapons of his cause: He is welcome to employ, and exert them as long as he pleases. Since the departure of Mr. Rutledge, he has been more than commonly personal, and impudent. The probability is, that he was used as his agent or attorney, to write in the paper in his behalf. This supposition we are warranted in, by his own inadvertent declaration. In this affair he has departed from every principle of order, and decorum; tho' it is not our intention to discuss the matter at present. It may become necessary: When it does, we shall do it. It is the province of time to mature events.
It is our purpose, at present, not to make professions; but to call the public attention to those we have made, and to claim their verdict relative to the faith in which we have fulfilled them. Dwindling, impotent, and scrawney desperadoes may rise, and give the " lie ;" but fortunately there is a tribunal of appeal. To that tribunal, composed of the honest, and well disposed part of the community, do we look for justification.
We have the pleasure of announcing to our Mercantile friends, that the survey of the Sound, taken by Messrs. Nicholl  Fosdick , of New-London, Nathan Peff , of New-York, and John Caboune , of this town, under the directions of the Secretary of the Treasury, agreeably to the law passed at the last Session of Congress, is fully approved; and that the proper steps will be taken to carry the plan recommended by the surveyors, into effect.
Those concerned in commerce will therefore, in a short time, be gratified by the erection of a Light-House on the Little-Gull-Island , at the Eastern entrance of the Sound. Buoys or spindles will be placed on the rocks and shoals of the Sound, in such a manner as to make the navigation safe at all seasons, both to coasters and foreign vessels.
The Majority of votes for Governor of Pennsylvania amounts to about Thirty-one Thousand !—and what is more, not one anti-republican goes to Congress.
From appearances, it is not probable that the House of Representatives of that State will contain more than 6 federalists. How are the mighty fallen!
In Maryland, the State Council is wholly Republican, and the lower House 47 Republicans to 33 federalists. Republican majority in the House 14.
All such as are indebted to the Editor of the Rhode-Island Republican , are once more earnestly requested to make payment. Those who may favor us with their Advertisements, will please to forward them, in future, early on Friday, previous to the day of publication.
At the State Election in Charleston, S. C. 7 Republicans, 7 federalists, and one doubtful, are elected to their next Legislature.—Returns have not yet been received from all parts of the State; but there is no doubt of a handsome Republican majority.
The conduct of the faction in Jersey must be of great use not only to the people of Jersey—but to the Union at large. " Moderation is in their mouths, the devil is in their hearts ." It is in vain for republicans to expect from that party any regard to principles or to the common maxims of regard which should exist in a society founded upon equal rights and equal laws.
The Spanish frigate Juno , of 34 guns, was lost about the 25th of October, in lat. 37, long. 67, occasioned by a leak. Every effort was made by an American vessel, to afford her relief, but in vain; a fog occasioned the American Captain to lose sight of her.—In half an hour it cleared away; but the ship was no more to be seen. 413 persons, including women and children, were on board. She was bound from Portorico to Cadiz, and had 100,000 dollars on board.
BURLINGTON, (Ver.) Oct. 16.  FIRE! On the night of the 15th inst. about eleven o'clock, the house of Capt. Alexander Taylor of Missisquoi Bay, was discovered to be on fire. There was eleven persons a-bed in the house at the time; two of whom, a Mr. Baker and his wife, who were journeying to Upper Canada, were burnt to death; the others escaped with little injury. Not even the clothes of the family were saved. A coal dropping from a pipe, is supposed to have occasioned the fire.

SONNET—TO LOVE.
AH Love 'ere yet I knew thy fatal power, Bright glow'd the colour of my youthful days, As on the sultry zone, the torrid rays That paint the broad-leav'd plantain's glossy bover; Calm was my bosom as this silent hour, When o'er the deep, scarce heard, the zephyr strays, Midst the cool tamarinds indolently plays, Nor from the orange shakes its od'rous flower: But ah! since Love has all my heart possess'd, That desolated heart what sorrows tear! Disturb'd and wild as ocean's troubled breast, When the hoarse tempest of the night is there! Yet my complaining spirit asks no rest; This bleeding bosom cherishes despair.
