From the Massachusetts Spy.
(Concluded from our last.)
THE heaviest of all charges, the most atrocious of all crimes, has been the dismantling and laying up a part of the navy, for the direct purpose of having it destroyed and soon up by worms. This is the motive which is alleged for the fact. It is unnecessary to read the dismantling and the laying up of the navy was in pursuance of an express provision of the last Congress—the plan where, was the result of Executive discretion—contesting circumstances, left but little room for deliberation. Two docks or navy yards only, were authorised by law. These were located by the President, and fifty thousand dollars were appropriated towards erecting them. One and the only one in which any thing had been done, was, by the old administration, with propriety established at Washington. Instead of fifty thousand dollars, near three times that sum, had been expended when the new administration commenced its labors. The ships were then ordered to the very place which had been a long time preparing for them; where no worms had previously been considered as existing; but which had been considered as a proper receptacle for the laying up of dismantled ships.
It is still persisted in, that there is no navy-yard at Washington. With such infatuation no man ought to reason. Let it ask those horses, which for years, have been carrying earth into the sea, if there is no navy yard established at the Federal City? Let it ask those stone walls which, travelling from the mountains, have waded far into the deep? Let the prepared timber for a 74, purchased and merged by the old government, in the waters of the Potomac, say if it is a victim to worms? Let the vouchers for the expenditure of public money say, if there is no navy yard there. The business of a navy-yard at Philadelphia and elsewhere is well understood by the writer, and may be a subject of future explanations. The President's disposing of the ships at the seat of government, has discovered a respectful attention to the measures of Congress, to the doings of the old administration, and the interests of the people. Materials for repairs are in the neighborhood. The officers and men will be kept together and be kept to duty. The national defence, will be under national inspection. Great savings will be made, our annual Congress will better determine on the annual expenses necessary for the support of a navy, and will see the ravages which time, the most destroying worms it has to fear, will be constantly making on it.
The above are the charges which have been urged against the Executive of the general government. He defends himself by no presumptions, drawn from a long train of conspicuous past services, by which he has commanded the esteem and gratitude of his fellow-citizens; these are passed over in silence. He has claims of merit in the very matters selected by his enemies as the foundations of censure. You will determine if these things are groundless. The very altars consecrated to acts of piety and devotion, have in some instances been prostituted to this ungracious employment. Of their ministers, who ought to know and to practice the doctrines of Jesus Christ, and him crucified, have been found some, capable of the foul work of studied detraction, who, instead of studying those things which make for peace, have attached themselves to the virulence of a party, and have been the fomenters of political feuds, sharpening their tongues with more cruelty than the dagger of the assassin. They have stabbed characters in the dark, and like common scolds, called their opponents by hard names.
The precepts have been more than fatigued with their past labors. Every topic of abuse has been exhausted and spent itself on the heads of Republicans. The principal has had a double portion measured out for him, the cup has been drained to its lowest dregs; and left shielded by a thousand excellencies and a consciousness of rectitude of thought and action, he has been unhurt. Being reviled he reviles not again. His study is to do no friends and enemies all the good in his power. His course is steady, firm and independent. His time and his talents, commanding as they are, are early and late devoted to the service of your country. His endeavors are to economize, lessen the expences of government, the burdens of the people, and to preserve
their rights and privileges unincumbered and unimpaired, to render the Constitution strong and pure as it came out of the hands of its makers, the States, unitedly and severally, happy and prosperous, respectable and exalted, at home and abroad. He can have no interest, separate from this; with it is connected his reputation, his prospects, his pride and the highest and best feelings of the human heart. He solicits only the candor, the reasonable confidence, assistance and friendship of his fellow-citizens. Will you withhold it because he is a republican? Is this man you are invited to distrust, whom you mean to oppose? The great body of Federalists are all Republicans. Deception for a moment, has led them astray. Our teachers have caused them to err. Reflection and time will restore them to the path which they have forsaken. "Republicans are all Federalists." Misrepresentation and a factious ambition, may have rendered them suspected. The violence of a pressure; and the buffetings of madness may, in instances, have jostled them from the way, but by a property of their natures, their return is of course. They will unite themselves with Republican federalists, with all good men, will adhere to our government, will cling; will latch themselves to the Constitution and with it perish or survive in the "tempestuous storms," and struggles for her liberty and freedom. We farmers are by nature all federal republicans—Situation, circumstances, habits, sentiments and feelings conspire to make us so—as soon would matters cease to attract, the dews of the evening cease to moisten, and interest and self, forget to influence, as the enlightened Yeomanry of our Country forsake republicanism—Friends and Fellow-Citizens! be intreated to reflect, put your hands on your breasts, and pause; look on the fate which may have been cowed into your hands, and let conscience speak, examine the tale that is told you, come it from the bar or the bench; from behind the counter, the desk, or the tail of the plough, consult with yourselves, and then act—seriously deliberate, and you will act right!
A FARMER.
FROM THE BOSTON CHRONICLE.
"'Tis from experience that we reason b.f.f."
AS the great commercial privilege of the CARRYING TRADE is ridiculed, and almost reprobated, by our modern Federalists, it is proper while contemplating this subject, that we produce such evidence as will substantiate the sentiments of the Republicans, in opposition to a doctrine so destructive to the interest of the United States. It is a happy circumstance, while considering this important question, that we can appeal to those who formerly came forward in support of our commercial rights; and though a few may have apostatized from their avowed principles, yet it is hoped that a majority of the citizens retain their old opinions, unbiaised either by the smiles or frowns of their opponents.—Freemen, examine the propriety of things, and scorn to be influenced by the low, contemptible passion of private interest.
Being in possession of documents which cannot be controverted, I shall pursue a course of enquiry, founded on the sentiments of those individuals, who took a lead in our commercial controversy with England in the year 1785. If I am opposed by the modern Federalists, it is incumbent on the gentlemen who wrote the following Circular Letter, to vindicate my observations, if they are desirous to substantiate a reputation for political consistency and integrity. Their Letter conveys a strong idea of the importance of the CARRYING-TRADE; it portrays the pernicious tendency of British residents, and expresses, in the most forcible language, an abhorrence of those Restrictions which exposed the Commerce of America to the uncontrolled impositions of the British nation.—While examining this subject, I shall pay due respect to the character of each individual; but, at the same time, as principle is my object, I shall close with such observations as will oblige some of them to acknowledge, either that they were wrong in 1785, or that I am right in 1801.
This subject is important as it relates to the young American Merchant, Tradesman and Manufacturer, and as their interest is so immediately concerned in the question, I must request their particular attention to the numbers which may be appropriated to its consideration.
As introductory to my remarks, I shall

insert the following Letter, written to the several states in the year 1785, on the arrival of a few British Merchants in the town of Boston. The alarm excited at that period among the American Merchants, will convince the Young Men that the monopoly of our Trade was considered as the inevitable consequence of permitting British Residents, enjoying equal advantages with our own citizens. The agitation which prevailed at that time, on the restrictions of our Commerce, will fully shew how far the CARRYING-TRADE was contemplated as the palladium of our Commerce, Agriculture, and Manufactures.
[CIRCULAR.]
" Boston, April 22d, 1785.
" GENTLEMEN,
" WE being appointed by the Merchants, Traders and others, citizens of this town, to write to the Merchants of the several sea-ports throughout the United States, on the alarming situation of our commercial intercourse with Great-Britain, do, in their names address you on the subject; which, we doubt not, you will think with us, requires mature deliberation, as well as the most spirited and vigorous exertions to be properly arranged.
" Happy should we be, if we could devise some plan which would effectually produce, and lasting cement, that union of sentiment, on which so effectually depend the advantage and stability of the commerce of this country; we do not, however, presume to dictate what is best to be done in this critical situation of our affairs; but conceive it highly necessary to have a free communication of the sentiments of the mercantile interest; as on measures which may be adopted in consequence of this correspondence, some permanent and beneficial purposes may be effected.
" The CARRYING-TRADE, so important to this country, is also essentially affected; and Great-Britain is endeavoring, by every means in her power, to annihilate it—by prohibiting the entry of our ships in her West-India colonies—discouraging, and (by rumours which are generally exaggerated) preventing her own manufactures intended for our consumption, from being shipped in American bottoms, unless burthened with an extra charge—by employing her vessels—by depriving our ships of the privilege of carrying the produce of our own country to Quebec, Newfoundland, &c.—and, by restricting the sale of them in any part of the British domains, confiscating the property in some instances, and subjecting it to duties equal to a prohibition in others; while the subjects of that nation are permitted to send their vessels to any part of the continent for bread, flour, tobacco, rice, &c.—and to ship them from most of the States, upon the same terms with our own citizens, and from others, with but a trifling discrimination. A trade, the balance of which is so essentially against us, must if not speedily checked, inevitably ruin us.
" Feelingly impressed, therefore, with the necessity of an immediate attention to a subject, so important to the people of America, Merchants, Traders, and others, citizens of this town, have held a general meeting, to consult upon measures necessary to be adopted on this occasion; the inclosed resolutions will acquaint you with the result of their deliberations; some of the expedients there used are meant only as temporary remedies, and intended solely to retard the ruin which threaten us, until a general system of relief can be adopted.
" Persuaded, however, that the exertions of individual cities, or even States, without the support of the whole confederacy, will be ineffectual, or at most can operate only as a partial relief, and that nothing short of vesting Congress with full powers to regulate the internal, as well as external commerce of all the States, can reach the mischiefs we complain of, we would, agreeably to the directions of the enclosed proceedings, earnestly recommend to you an immediate application to the Legislature of your State to vest such powers in Congress (if they have not already done it) as shall be competent to the great and interesting purpose of placing the Commerce of the United States upon the footing of perfect equality with every other nation; and to request you also to petition Congress (when they shall be thus clothed with authority) to make such internal regulations as shall have that happy effect, encourage an attention to our manufactures, and remove the embarrassments under which our trade at present labors.
" Were not the embarrassments on our trade, by fatal experience, too well known to you to require a particular statement, it would be easy to prove the necessity of adopting this, or a similar conduct, by a detail of facts, and a train of arguments not fairly to be controverted, it being evident on the most cursory view, that the necessary effect of the restrictions in question is, destruction to our Ship Building, Fisheries, Navigation and Commerce in all its branches, and consequently to the property and support of the merchant, husbandman, and mechanic.
" Your cheerful concurrence we may therefore in return expect; not doubting the success of such measures as are founded on the principles of justice and sound policy, and
supported by the united and spirited exertions of a free people.
" To add to these evils already sufficient to excite our utmost disquietude, the late intervention of BRITISH FACTORS, threatening monopoly of our trade, and hastens the rapid decrease of our circulating medium. Unless the trade and exports of these States, are contravened by similar expedients on our part, the Commerce of this country, and of consequence its wealth, power, and perhaps the Union itself, must become victims to the artifice of a nation, whose arms have been in vain exerted to accomplish the ruin of America.
" We are, Gentlemen, with every sentiment of respect and esteem, your friends and brethren in a common cause,
 John Hancock, Jonathan L. Austin,  Samuel A. Otis, Charles Jarvis,  Samuel Breck, William Tudor,  John C. Jones, Stephen Hugginson,  Samuel Barrett, Joseph Barrett,  Edward Payne, Perez Morton,  Caleb Davis, Joseph Russell, jun.  Thomas Russell, 
" The foregoing Letter is a Text, which will furnish a number of Discourses through the fall and winter months. As I write only at my leisure, I shall pursue my observations with as much deliberation as Clergymen perform their sacerdotal functions. Old Sermons are sometimes delivered, and probably old remarks may occasionally furnish a speculative number. Having produced the Document from whence my conclusions will be drawn, (accompanied with the foregoing respectable signatures) I shall feel perfectly at ease, while discanting on the patriotic principles contained in the above Letter, and the consistency of the respective individuals who subscribed to its authenticity.

OMISSION AND COMMISSION, OR TORY LOGIC.
THE open contempt of veracity, the unworthy and unmanly tricks, the insensibility to personal feeling or self respect, daily exhibited in the prints opposed to republicanism, have been so uniform and destructive of the intended ends, that we have seldom thought it worth while to bestow particular attention on this branch of political profligacy. The occurrence of an egregious imposture of this kind, and the use which has been made of it in the Trenton Federalist, (Judge Griffith's favorite paper) has induced us to offer a slight article on the subject.
Beside the system of open falsehood and treacherous insinuation, the Tory Prints are accustomed to resort to a species of forgery, where, by the addition of a letter, the change of a word, or the subtraction of a sentence, they alter the whole sense of an article of information or of discussion, and make use of their forgery as a matter of argument. We shall give a few instances of this meanest of all means, to prop up a weak cause.
FACT 1. When the Boston Centinel published the President's Inaugural Speech, the following sentence was omitted—
" Acknowledging and adoring an overruling Providence, which by its dispensations, proves that it delights in the happiness of man here, and their greater happiness hereafter."
The omission of this sentence was certainly on the part of the Centinel as complete a conviction of former guilt as could possibly be given, but it was not the conviction that produces contrition, but that detected and self condemning conviction, which plunges the criminal in despair, and actuates from the consciousness of criminality to persist in further crimes. The Centinel had taken pains to impress upon the people of New-England that the President was an Atheist. The publication of the Inaugural Address with the above sentence, would have been to overthrow the fabric of falsehood which had been formerly reared.
FACT 2. Gen. Samuel Smith addressed a letter to Thomas Fitzsimons, Esq. of this city, wherein he stated that
" It is true, that the Algerine tribute has not been paid for three years."
The Philadelphia Gazette, published the letter, omitting this sentence. The publication of this sentence would have contradicted all that had been alleged in that paper concerning the defalcations of Mr. Pickering, and it would if published, have been evidence in support of the accounts published in the Aurora.
FACT 3. Among several articles of foreign news received lately, there was one dated Paris, July 17, as follows—
" On the 10th inst. will be celebrated in the Temple of Victory, a festival consecrated to the principles of Theism and Toleration, as propagated by Voltaire."
This article was copied into the Philadelphia Gazette, but with the addition of the letter A to the word theism, by which it was made Atheism.
It certainly can be of no consequence to the people of America what are the religious or irreligious opinions of any other men. No man is accountable for the opinions of another,
any more than one is for the opinions of another. The folly which would be so common to any point of view entitled to serious consideration. The artifice is so contemptible, and so likely to be answered so insignificant and inapplicable in this country, that there is no need of accounting for the imposture upon any principle of morality.
This article however, has been copied into the Trenton Federalist, and entitled with more propriety than they conceived, JACOBIN DELUSION; it was indeed a delusion truly Jacobinical to add a letter to a word, in order to alter its meaning. It was indeed more than Jacobinical; for the Jacobins in their worst of acts, did not display ignorance themselves, nor treat those whom they sought to impose upon as ignorant. It was well worthy of Tory Jacobinism to invent such follies, and to believe that they could delude any person of common information, or common sense.
The Trenton Federalist adds the following remarks on this forgery.
" The above paragraph will account in some measure for the delay of Tom Paine in coming to this country."
Now as nothing but depravity could commit this forgery, so nothing but depravity or ignorance, could appropriate to Voltaire or to Paine, a charge of Atheism, or confound Theism with Atheism. Christianity is in fact Theism, which means the belief in God.
But this alteration of the word Theism, is rendered still more preposterous and absurd, when it is recollected, that under the present despotism of France, the Pope has been restored, and the Catholic religion put under the protection of that government. Nay more, that the Clergy of the Romish church, did on that very day, the 14th July, celebrate the festival, and attended at the Fete in their sacerdotal robes, in evidence of which we subjoin the following article:
DECREE.
Of the National Synod (of priests) relative to the Fete of the 14th of July.
Considering that the 14th of July, a day consecrated by the French people for the celebration of the recovery of their liberty, is an era from which the destinies of the republic take their rise.
Considering that this day has been also appointed by Government to celebrate the continental peace, and that in these views, it is the object of a pure joy, in which the ministers of a religion of charity may and ought to share:
Considering that, by the New, as also by the Old Testament, religion has been in the habit of consecrating, by holy ceremonies, the great events which influence the fate of nations:
The National Council ordains as follows:
1st. Next Tuesday, the 14th July, 25th Messidor, 9th year of the French Republic, at 8 o'clock in the morning, a solemn mass shall be sung in the metropolitan church of Paris.
2d. At the conclusion of mass, a discourse shall be pronounced upon the subject of the Fete of that day.
3d. After the discourse, Te Deum shall be sung, and thanks returned for all the blessings which the Lord has bestowed upon the French nation.
HARRISBURGH (N. J.) Sept. 7.
A singular non-descript animal, has since a few weeks several times made its appearance, near Northumberland town, in this state, which has been the subject of much speculative enquiry in these parts. The extraordinary formation of this wonderful creature, as represented by a number of respectable inhabitants of that place, who have seen it, is certainly astonishing to every one, particularly so to those acquainted with natural history, and furnishes the mind with a variety of conjectures, some of which perhaps not very favorable to the human species. It is said to be about five feet in height, and moves erect; it has a more perfect human face than any other animal of the brute creation hitherto spoken of. The head is crowned with hair, which falls regular over the forehead, near to the eye brows; its neck and breast are bare, but downwards it is covered entirely with hair of a reddish cast. Its arms and hands appear perfect like those of a man, excepting the nails, which are similar to claws of beasts; but the feet appear perfect. It has a very long tail, which it winds round its body when running. An attempt was made to catch it a short time since, by three gentlemen on horseback, one of whom was near enough to strike it with the lash of his whip, but taking down a steep hill, the gentlemen were obliged to dismount to pursue it, when it made its escape. We hear a thousand dollars is offered for this animal alive.
The news from Europe by the last arrivals, gives but few facts of considerable interest. The most important of all however, is that upon which public anxiety has been so long suspended. The fate of Egypt, which appears to be placed at length beyond the power of Britain.
...the character of that Chief in a new light, shows how much alarmed the British government has been by the apprehended invasion.—It is a singular instance of warfare in which the hero tells you he keeps out of gun-shot—after throwing bombs into the town with great Christian charity and chivalric politeness, sends word to the women and children that he did not mean to hurt them, and only meant to show the naughty Jacobins what they must expect if they dared to venture across the channel: And in the same breath tells his crew, that it is necessary to make this noise to keep the old women and children of London quiet!
No apparent change appears to have taken place on the European continent since the peace of Bajados. Aurora.
FEDERAL CONFESSION.
In our paper of Monday last, we suggested, that the Military Stores were to be removed from Springfield to the Seat of Government. We have correct information, that they are to remain at Springfield; and that to secure the permanency of so valuable a situation, the Attorney General has within a few days, purchased, in behalf of the United States, the land on which the buildings were erected. This we know to be fact and being more desirous of an opportunity of approving, than censuring the measures of Government, we cheerfully announce it.

Latest Foreign Intelligence.
By the Sally, from Lymington, and the Minerva, from Liverpool, arrived at Boston. London dates to the 17th of August.
LONDON, August 16.—THE most important articles of public intelligence which presents itself since our last number, is the surrender of Cairo, the metropolis of Egypt, an event which removes all anxiety respecting the fate of that country, and may be considered as the immediate precursor of the fall of Alexandria.
Although this valuable conquest has not been officially announced by dispatches from the Commander in Chief of the British army, no doubt can be entertained of the authenticity of the communication. It has been anticipated by various rumours in the beginning of the week, and was credited, we understand, by Government; but the following extract of a letter, received on Friday morning, from Mr. Tooke, the East-India Company's agent at Constantinople, puts an end to all conjecture on the subject:
Extract of a letter from Peter Tooke, Esq. to W. Ramsay, Esq. dated Constantinople, July 19.
I HAD the honor to address you, on the 17th instant, by an Express Courier, in order to inform you of the reduction of the castle and city of Cairo, by his Majesty's and the Ottoman army, after some severe actions, wherein the enemy had lost 2000 men, in killed and wounded; and that the remainder, consisting of 4000 men, had surrendered. I have only learnt since, that the enemy capitulated on honorable terms, and were to march to Rosetta, to be embarked for France, under the escort of British ships of war.
* Not received.
In the course of the same day, the following Bulletin was issued from the Foreign Office:
14th August, 1801.
Another Dispatch has been received to day from Lord Minto, mentioning the surrender of Grand Cairo, with 4000 French, who capitulated on condition of being sent prisoners to France. About 2000 were slain in the attack which preceded the surrender.
The particulars of these accounts may indeed be incorrect with respect to the exact number of the enemy's force; but the loss of the garrison of Cairo, which must have consisted, both in French and auxiliary troops, of a considerable number, will reduce General Menou to the greatest exigencies; and render him, in all probability, eager to subscribe to the honorable capitulation granted to the republican troops in Cairo. He is now restricted to the defence of the single port of Alexandria; which surrounded in every point, in want of the means of subsistence, and deprived of all hopes of succour from France, cannot long hold out against the concentrated force of the allies.
We wait with impatience the arrival of the official accounts, which must afford many interesting particulars.
A lieutenant in the naval service, returned from Egypt, where he was sometimes a prisoner with the English, writes from the Lazaretto at Marseilles, under the date of July 23, that an English cutter, which left Cairo about the 20th of June, informed the captain of the flag of truce in which he came

On the 5th of August, the day on which the Astrea reached Gibraltar, a mutiny broke out on board the Tripolitan vessel, occasioned by the want of provisions—About 150 of the seamen deserted, and had landed, when they were seized by the Governor, and put on board a Moorish vessel, which departed immediately for Tetuan. The situation of the Scotch Renegado who commands the fleet is thus rendered desperate. The brig of 18 guns is dismantled; and he has only about 40 men on board his own ship, exclusive of officers. In Gibraltar it is conjectured that he will not dare to return to Tripoli; but that he will dispose of his vessel, and bid adieu to Mahomet. A gentleman who arrived in the Astrea, informs that the English frigate Penelope, in 31 days from Alexandria, arrived at Gibraltar two days before the failed, one of the officers of which told him, Gantheume had landed part of his troops about 80 leagues from Alexandria; that the French, in an engagement with the Mamelukes had been victorious; that Alexandria still held out, and that the situation of the English in Egypt was not so favorable as it had been. The above frigate was going home with dispatches.
London, August 17. Second Attack on Boulogne. The attack commenced at about a quarter past 12 o'clock on Saturday night. Our squadron, consisting of 70 boats, thus divided into four divisions; these divisions were covered by 16 flat-bottomed boats, each of which carried a howitzer or carronade. The enemy appear to have expected a second attack, and to have been prepared for it. They had thrown up fresh works, and had sent a large reinforcement of troops into the town. As soon as our divisions approached sufficiently near the shore, a tremendous shower of grape and round shot was opened upon them from the gun vessels and shore batteries. The former had between 1 and 200 men on board each, and well covered by flanking batteries of mortars. Troops three deep lined the shore, for three miles.
Our brave sailors advanced to the attack with their usual steadiness and courage amidst this heavy fire, and boarded the enemy's gun vessels. Great slaughter ensued; but the decks of several of the enemy's gun vessels were cleared and the ships taken possession of, but they could not be got off. The enemy had taken the precaution of chaining their gun-boats to each other head and stern; intermediate chains also fastened them to the shore. While our gallant countrymen were unavailingly trying to get them loose, they were exposed to a dreadful discharge of grape shot, shells, and musketry. At length they were forced to retire, bringing with them one lugger-rigged vessel. Our readers may form some opinion of the carnage, from the loss which this lugger experienced—of 70 men, 14 only were left alive, and most of these were wounded.
Our loss in killed and wounded is estimated at about 200 men. Capt. Parker of the Medusa, a most excellent officer, had his leg and thigh shot off; the master of the Medusa was dreadfully wounded; the 2d lieut. and other officers were also wounded; and about 30 men in Lt. Nelson's ship.
Yesterday afternoon Lt. Nelson in the Medusa, with several cutters, returned to the Downs, but whether to reinforce his squadron, or to proceed against some other place, we know not. The remainder of the squadron was left off Boulogne.
NASHVILLE, (Tenn.) Aug. 12. On Monday last, arrived in this town, Major-General Wilkinson, commander in chief of the army of the United States, and one of the commissioners for treating with the Southern Indians, and yesterday he set off for S. West point, where a treaty is to be held with the Cherokees—one of the objects of negotiation, we learn, is to obtain from the Indians a relinquishment of the tract of country, lying between the Cumberland and Holston settlements, an event so desirable to the citizens of Tennessee.
We understand, that the 4th United States regiment is on its march for this place, and that during the summer they are to be employed in opening a road from Nashville, to the Natchez.—What could tend more to the welfare of the Western country, than thus to connect our infant Western settlements, & promote our commercial intercourse? With these marks of attachment to the interest of the most remote parts of the United States, has commenced the administration of Mr. Jefferson, and the great advantages which we may
in the American union, begin now to be felt. "Vires unites let us be, Rallying round our liberty, As a band of brothers join'd, Peace and safety we shall find."
NEW-YORK, Sept. 22. Capt. Paine, who arrived at this port yesterday from Gibraltar, informs us that on the 6th of August (the day before he left Malaga) he was boarded by the United States frigate Philadelphia, Samuel Barron commander, who was waiting for the Tripolitan cruisers at that time in Gibraltar to come out. The officers and crew of the frigate were all well, and in high spirits, cherishing the hope of speedily making a prize of the Barbarians.
On the 8th of August, the day on which the Astrea reached Gibraltar, a mutiny broke out on board the Tripolitan vessel, occasioned by the want of provisions—About 150 of the seamen deserted, and had landed, when they were seized by the Governor, and put on board a Moorish vessel, which departed immediately for Tetuan. The situation of the Scotch Renegado who commands the fleet is thus rendered desperate. The brig of 18 guns is dismantled; and he has only about 40 men on board his own ship, exclusive of officers. In Gibraltar it is conjectured that he will not dare to return to Tripoli; but that he will dispose of his vessel, and bid adieu to Mahomet.
A gentleman who arrived in the Astrea, informs that the English frigate Penelope, in 31 days from Alexandria, arrived at Gibraltar two days before the failed, one of the officers of which told him, Gantheume had landed part of his troops about 80 leagues from Alexandria; that the French, in an engagement with the Mamelukes had been victorious; that Alexandria still held out, and that the situation of the English in Egypt was not so favorable as it had been. The above frigate was going home with dispatches.
BOSTON, Sept. 29. The Pheasant & Berceau. On Saturday about 11 o'clock, A. M. the British sloop of war Pheasant, sailed from Nantasket Road, to the Bay, a little below the light house, and dove too.
In the night, about 1 o'clock, the French Corvette Berceau, unmolested from President Road and proceeded to sea.
Yesterday afternoon the Pheasant returned, and anchored in Nantasket Road in apparent good order. She was not in sight in the morning, and came up the Bay from the E. S. E. which course there is no doubt the Berceau pursued. It is probable the latter vessel was the best sailer, and thereby avoided an action.
From BARCELONA, Aug. 5. "Sunday next there will sail for Malaga a convoy under the orders of the American Frigate Essex."
NEW-LONDON, Sept. 30. Interesting to Merchants.
Extract of a letter from Capt. Charles Hazard, of the schr. Hope, to his owners in this city, dated Algiers, July 26, 1801.
"On the 24th of June in the mouth of the straits of Gibraltar, I was boarded by 5 Spanish gun boats, who examined my papers, which they pronounced clear for Malaga, where I was bound, and would have permitted me to pass had not one of my people (Thomas Moody) told them I was to touch at Gibraltar. After having this information they overhauled my trunk and found Gibraltar to be by my instructions the first port to touch at, and so expressed in the portage bill, they deemed it a sufficient cause for bringing me into this port, where we arrived on the 25th. I was kept under quarantine till the 2d of July. A ship left here for Salem two days after I came in, but I was refused the privilege of writing by her, altho' I offered to show my letter. On the 2d July our declarations were taken before the Judge, which all agreed to save that of the aforesaid Moody, who swore to every lie the captors wished. This fellow has gone on board one of the privateers."
"The attack the British made on the French fleet, in this port on the 6th inst. was so sudden and the action so severe, that it was impossible to remove a vessel; the Hope was shot thro' in several places under water and in a few minutes sunk the bottom and vessel and cargo wholly lost. The oars of my boats were shot away in going on shore. Fourteen vessels were sunk in the action."
"The privateers have brought in four American vessels this week; three of them for only having it in their instructions to stop at Gibraltar, for convoy, bound to Leghorn; and the other for having letters on board for the officers of the American frigates at Philadelphia. Last night the ship Molly of Philadelphia, with 14 nine pounders and 40 men, was brought in a prize; she was taken after an action of two hours, with seven privateers."
THE Old Tories and Apostate Whigs, appear to be very angry with Mr. Jefferson, for appointing a few Republicans to office.—We have, in our possession, a Newspaper, published at the Seat of Government, containing
a correct list of Two Hundred and Five principal officers of the Government of the United States—among whom are but Fifty one Republicans:—Are you not a little too much disposed to accuse the President of intolerance, good gentlemen? [Bost. Chron.]
NEWPORT, Saturday, October 3, 1801.
By our last Baltimore papers it appears that there is a very large majority of Republican Electors of the Maryland Senate chosen, viz. 28 to 10 returned—whose number 40. This election is of the more consequence, as it secures the choice of a Republican United States Senator in the room of Mr. Lloyd, the father of the Sedition Law. [Bee.]
From Spooner's Vermont Journal.
The Editor is happy in being able to inform the public, that according to the best information he can obtain, (and such as he thinks correct) there will be a very handsome majority of Republicans in our next Legislature; what has been published in the Federal Gazette to the contrary notwithstanding.
Thus it is probable the State of Vermont will also send a Republican Senator to the next Congress, in the room of Mr. Paine, appointed District Judge.
OFFICIAL.
Mr. MURRAY, the American Negotiator at Paris, informed the American Consul at Bourdeaux, by letter, that he had exchanged the ratifications of the French and American Treaty with the French Negotiators on the 31st of July.
A gentleman from Ulster county, brings the following account of an unnatural murder:—A Mrs. Devoo, who had been insane, desired her husband to go and see whether the wolves were not among the sheep. During his absence, she killed three of her children, by inhumanly cutting their throats, and then destroyed herself in the same way. Her eldest son was returning home, and perceiving his mother just dispatching the last of the three children, ran to alarm the nearest neighbor. On their arrival at the house, they found them all dead, and weltering in their blood! [N. Y. pap.]
A conspiracy against the life of the new Governor of Guadalupe, has been detected, & some of the concerned (mulattoes) executed.
NEWSPAPERS.
In Philadelphia are three daily Federal papers, and but one Republican:—In New-York are three daily Federal papers, and but one Republican:—In Boston are four Federal papers, and but two Republican.—What wonder then that they should succeed in misleading the public opinion, when they have seized and perverted so large a majority of the sources of public information!
The total population of the United States, as taken in 1790, amounted to 3,929,326 The present census in 1801, amounts to 5,064,801
In this statement Tennessee is wanting, the numbers of which state, with those deficient in N. York and Maryland, may be estimated at 150,000
Increase in 10 years about 1,285,475 This increase is at the rate of about one third in ten years, which will double any given number in about 24 years.
DIED. —On his passage from Cape-Francis, the 3d ult. Mr. CHARLES LASSELL, Merchant, of this town. Mr. Lassel, in consequence of a series of misfortunes in trade, previous to his departure from Newport, was compelled, with heart felt anxiety, to seek in distant climes, far from connections tenderly united to him by the most endearing ties, that competency which would again enable him to enjoy them and his friends, as in the hours of his former prosperity. Actuated by such laudable motives, he bade them (as he fondly hoped) only a temporary adieu, and embarked for the West-Indies, where a more fortunate star directed his active genius in the establishment of commercial pursuits; by which, with indefatigable assiduity, he not only acquired a handsome property, but in its accumulation preserved the character of unblemished integrity. His untimely fate, while returning to his family and friends, in expectation of realizing those prospects of happiness he had long cherished, was a striking instance of the uncertainty of temporal enjoyment. In him was happily combined an affability of deportment, and benevolence of heart, which the unfortunate distressed often experienced from his liberality towards them, joined with those pleasing virtues, which constitute the affectionate husband, the fond, indulgent parent, and sincere friend. He has left an amiable wife and six promising children, with an extensive circle of acquaintance, to lament their loss.

MY LANDLADY'S NOSE.
O'ER the evils of life 'tis a folly to fret, Despondence and grief never lessen'd them yet: Then a fig for the world—let it come as it goes, I'll sing to the praise of my Landlady's Nose.
My Landlady's Nose is in noble condition, For longitude, latitude, shape and position; 'Tis as round as a horn, and as red as a rose, Success to the hulk of my Landlady's Nose.
To Jeweller's shops let your ladies repair, For trinkets and nick-nacks to give them an air; Here living carbuncles a score of 'em glows, On the big massy sides of my Landlady's Nose.
Old Patrick M'Dougherty when on the fuddle, Pulls out a segar, and looks up to her noddle; For Dougherty swears, when he swigs a good dose, By Major's Firebrand, my Landlady's Nose.
Ye wishy-wash butter-milk drinkers so cold, Come here and the virtues of brandy behold; Here's red burning Ætna, a mountain of snows, Would roar down in streams from my Landlady's Nose.
Each cavern profound of this snuff loving snout, Is furnish'd within, Sir, as well as without; O'er the brown upperlip such a cordial flows, O! the cordial brown drops of my Landlady's Nose.
But, gods! when this trunk with an uplifted arm, She grasps in the dish-clout to blow an alarm; Homs, trumpets, and coaches are but screaming of crows, To the loud thundering twang of my Landlady's Nose.
My Landlady's Nose unto me is a treasure, A care-killing nootum—a fountain of pleasure; If I want for a laugh to discard all my woes, I only look up to my Landlady's Nose.
From the (N. J.) TRUE AMERICAN.
Political Intolerance.
THE Feds continue to prate of Mr. Jefferson's political intolerance. We with this matter more generally and correctly understood.—When Mr. Adams went out of office, he left scarce a Republican in the Union, and not one in New-Jersey, in possession of any place of trust, honor, or profit, under the Federal government: Yet this was not discovered by his friends to be political intolerance!
Since Mr. Jefferson has been in office, a period of about six months, he has displaced about thirty Federalists in the Union at large, and, except in two or three cases, appointed Republicans to succeed them.—These displacements were principally, if not wholly made, on account of some illegality in the appointment, or incompetency in the person of the officer.—In New-Jersey, Mr. Jefferson has made three appointments, viz. a District Attorney, to a place vacant by resignation—a Supervisor, in the room of a person naturally or habitually disqualified for the office—and a Collector of the Port of Amboy, in the room of a notorious Refuge, and it is said, at this time a British half-pay officer.—The Judges of the Supreme Circuit, and District, United States Courts, with high and permanent salaries—the Marshall, and his deputies—and most of the Collectors of the Internal Revenue, retain the places given them under the late administration, and call themselves Federalists.
Out of one hundred and ninety-two Revenue-Officers in the United States, not more than ten have been displaced, since Mr. Jefferson's accession to the Presidency.
Of two hundred and five principal Officers under the Federal Government, but fifty-one are Republicans.—This fact can be proved by a reference to the list of Public Officers lately published at the city of Washington.
The above are stubborn facts, which our opponents cannot confute, and dare not publish; as it would expose the falsehood of their past calumnies, and silence their future clamors, on this head at least.
Let the honest and candid of all parties, examine the above statement, and ingeniously reply, whether they believe Mr. Jefferson has been guilty of political intolerance?—Or whether, on the contrary, his forbearance to displace Federal officers has not been carried to too great a length, as it deprives the Republicans of their just proportion of public confidence, and himself of the official support and assistance of men of congenial political sentiments?
National Economy.
The new taxes levied, the large loans raised, the immense addition to the public debt created, and the innumerable unnecessary offices formed, during the four years of Mr. Adams' Presidency, prove the extravagancy and profligacy of the late administration, and evince its total disregard to the welfare of the people at large, provided its particular friends and favorites could amass wealth and acquire power.
Mr. Jefferson has been in office but about six months. By reducing the marine corps, which was before uselessly large; by recalling two foreign ministers, whose further services abroad could very well be dispensed with, and by abolishing nineteen superfluous offices heretofore employed in the collection of the internal revenue—Mr. Jefferson has already retrenched the annual expenses of government One hundred and forty thousand dollars.
This fact, while it shows the unnecessary extravagance of the late administration; proves the salutary frugality of the present. It proves, that though Mr. Adams strengthened himself and enriched his friends by impoverishing and oppressing the people; Mr. Jefferson's attention is wholly directed to lessening the national expence, lightening the public burthens, and thus increasing the happiness of his fellow-citizens generally; instead of securing himself in power by creating places for his partizans, and extending his official patronage. [True Ameri.]
FEDERAL HEAD.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON, a man of talents, enterprize and ambition; a soldier, an orator, and an author; a native of the West-Indies; the propounder and advocate of a hereditary Presidency, in the convention for forming our national constitution;—the father of the funding system; the adviser of the British Treaty; the opposer of the French Negotiation; the author and late Commander of the Provisional Army; the former favorite of WASHINGTON; the libeller of ADAMS; the enemy of JEFFERSON; the rival of BURR; the opponent of CLINTON; and the accuser of GALLATIN; is now at the head of the Federal opposition. Whoever are the leaders in particular States, or Counties, he is still the great primum mobile of the whole party. In this one point his political friends and enemies seem to be agreed. And the chief is worthy of the party. [Aur.]
FROM THE PATRIOT.
Republicanism completely triumphed in this town on Monday last in Freemen's meeting, over Tyranny, Despotism, Anarchy, Error, Jacobinism, Steady Habits, Intrigue, and every other system laid down in the voluminous records of "Federal philosophy."—Not all the intrigue of those men who seek the "loaves and fishes" in Federal baskers, blended with local prejudices, were sufficient to defeat the Friends of Liberty in their grand design. This town contains more inhabitants than any other in the state, and a few years since was considered in the Federal interest, but happily prejudice had not taken so deep root in the breasts of the Freemen as to destroy every vestige or spark of liberty; a fair, candid and impressive investigation of the conduct of our late Rulers, fanned the expiring blaze, and added such fuel as never will admit of an extinguishment.
Out of upwards of 200 votes for Member of Congress, not more than two were given for the Federal Candidate Mr. Talmadge, the remainder were for that steady, firm, and unshaken Republican,
GIDEON GRANGER, Esq. a man beloved by every friend to liberty, but disliked by the advocates of Anglo-Federalism.
The Republican nomination for the Governor's Council, was unanimously supported. The town Representatives are decided friends to our excellent national administration, and will undoubtedly advocate the "good cause," and conduct agreeable to the wishes of their Constituents. Stonington, Sept. 23, 1801.
Federal abuse of Aliens.
Scarce a Federal paper in the Union but is constantly teeming with abuse of the Foreigners who have sought a refuge on our shores from the devastation and miseries of the Old World and particularly of the Irish. As these emigrants are principally industrious and peaceable citizens, this abuse of them can be attributed to no other cause than their being sworn foes to Regal Oppression, and warm friends of Republican Liberty.
Yet despicable as they are now represented to be, the very men who are writing such bitter things against them, will associate with and caress them when the day of election arrives, in order to inveigle them out of their votes and avail themselves of their influence.
But though these persecuted emigrants will scaceably suffer all the abuse with which the tongue of slander and the pen of detraction can cover them, rather than disturb the quiet or transgress the laws of their adopted country—it is hoped they will withhold their suffrages and interests from men who hate and affect to despise them, and who would pro-
hibit them even the privilege of drawing a breath of air, or drinking a draught of water in America, were their power co-equal with their will. [True American.]
While the tories are so very active in raising all the powers of dirt and darkness against the present administration—not yet six months in office—it may be well worthy of enquiry what are the real causes or views which actuate these pests of virtue, those enemies to the original independence, the established government and its uniform friends? Is it a sympathy with despotism? Do they expect to prevail by detraction, out of power, after their failure to succeed by terror, while possessed of it? Is it with a hope of affrighting the present administration into a base submission to their views? Or do they expect to conciliate, or even retain one half of the places of trust which the tolerant temper of the administration was disposed to hold out to them as a pledge and bond of union of all Americans? Is it to expose the morals of the country, and to disgrace it by proving that Pocopine can be surpassed in indecency by his American pupils? [Aurora.]
ANECDOLE.
ONE of the Dover stages, on its way to London, was stopped by a single highwayman, but being informed by the coachman, there were no inside passengers, and only one in the basket, and he a sailor, the robber instantly proceeded to exercise his functions upon the honest tar: When waking him out of his sleep, Jack demanded to know what he wanted? To which the son of plunder replied—"Your money." "You sha'nt have it," says Jack. "N! I" replied the robber, "then I'll blow your brains out." "Blast your eyes, blow away," says Jack, "I may as well be with out brains as without money—Drive on coachey."
