FROM THE AURORA.
Politics for Farmers.—No. 15.
IT is a very common custom for the executive magistrates of those States whose capitals are occasionally afflicted with the YELLOW FEVER, to congratulate the citizens whenever they escape from its visitation.
It is common, (and laudable) for the clergy to offer their thanks to God for the exemption.
And even the merchants are as joyous as if they had made a good voyage uninsured.
These things are natural—because they are matters between God and man—the affliction may be avoided in a great degree by a retreat in time—or by wise precautions against its inroads, through the channels of filth and uncleanness.
But such is the inconsistency, or the contradictory nature of man, that evils more durable and dangerous because they carry contagion from generation to generation, and produce the deadly disease of despotism and debasement—the mind's death in the living man—this disease finds its way amongst us in ten thousand shapes, and yet we have no quarantaine law against it—the disease we allude to is FOREIGN INFLUENCE.
It would be a subject well worthy of time and labor, to enter into a comparative analysis of the various shapes in which yellow fever and foreign influence affect the body corporate and politic—and to ascertain the various modes of attack, and the particular subjects most exposed to the infection of each. Both diseases have one common appearance—in fact, both might, for that matter, be characterised under the denomination of yellow—only distinguishing the physical from the political.
There is a feature, or as the physicians would say—a diagnostic, common to the two diseases.
They do not pass and carry destruction beyond the tide water—we have them both in our cities, and no where else, unless now and then a vagrant case; but such cases are deemed sporadic or singular—and convey no contagion.
It is in our cities we see them exercise their deadly empire—and either destroy, or undermine the constitutions, of all who come within their pestilential scope.
What other diseases of the same type, but with some variation in the appearance of the patients, these have generated, we shall not go at length into the enquiry. The farmers and mechanics will keep in mind the indisputable fact—
That these diseases do not prevail nor produce the least danger—beyond the tide waters, or the atmosphere of our cities.
"Warm federalism," is only the same disease with a different aspect; the disease in its violent character, appears first under the characteristic of "warm federalism"—and though yellow fever comes only from the West Indies when there is a miasma or a war—the warm federal fever prevails most when we are most at peace and most solicitous to be so—but both are plagues—both equally deadly—both equally to be shunned.
However "warm federalism" is placed by Burr's conspiracy, rather in an awkward situation.
Federalism has been the covert under which every thing venomous and traitorous has sheltered itself—
Under the wings of federalism, the bats, the night-owls, the birds of prey nested and brooded.
Warm federalism, British agents, British spies, the Cobbets, and Cullens, quidism—and last in the full glare of treason—Burr—crept out from beneath the wings of federalism,—and are all vindicated or connived at by warm federalism.
How dreadful is the crisis of this disease when medicine is not timely administered!
The federalists have constantly held themselves up as the "best blood" of the country—
This has been their regular cry. The vulgar, as Johnson has it, in Britain, are—the swinish multitude.
In Connecticut, the "fainted pilgrims" call the men of industry and innocence, dog-rog.
The warm federalists and British agents every where like them the vulgar.
Burr—asserts, that hundreds of the best blood of the U. S. were in his conspiracy.
Federalists have always called themselves the best blood—where there is presumed to be best—that there must be worst, follows—consequently, it is federalists he alluded to—when he talked

of them as they talk of themselves—mechanics and farmers, of course, are the worst.
These are plain understandable facts—they are not to be contradicted by all the sophistry of the "warm federal" newspapers, who by their vain but flattering denunciations of our addresses to farmers and mechanics show the cloven foot of the cabinet of St. James.
Why do not these tory papers republish our farmer's and mechanic's politics and refute them? Why do they not let the persons who confine their ideas to their papers, judge for themselves whether our politics are those of an enemy to the U. S.?
We have given in our politics to farmers, and in some of the numbers to mechanics, a pretty good idea of the blessings of taxes.
Of the blessings of the blood, birth, extraction of Britain.
Burr applied to none but federalists as his leaders.
You federalists who are really Americans, how can you get over these damning facts—how wipe away the stigma he has loaded you with?
Burr's plans were to establish himself an EMPEROR.
And Burr applied to federalists, as if he knew that the general principles of federalism tended to monarchy.
Mechanics as well as farmers, these remarks we throw before you for your consideration—if any of you who are called federalists, and are only held by the principle without being participators in the iniquity carried on under the name—you have sufficient evidence before you of what federalism has been perverted to, by the resort of traitors to that party for the materials of destruction—if you have voted for the opposers of a democratic government, if you have supported the advocates of war, standing armies, fortifications—
Passe—passe befeech you, "for Heaven's sake pause!"
Take the specimen of Burr, as the surest principles of the leaders of federalism!
An emperor!—you have had specimens of monarchy in the seven years' horrors of revolutionary war carried on by George III. against you.
You have specimens of monarchy, in the taxes of Britain—in the horrible slavery to which her population are subjected.
In the list of taxes on servants, which are divided into four classes, those who wait on the blood, birth, and extraction of Britain, are ranked the highest in honor—many of them come here and in half a dozen years they talk of their nobility, and of "having served their masters in stations suitable to their birth."
Then comes what are called the third class, and in that class are enumerated, Persons who ride, or collect money, or settle accounts in the country for merchants.
Then book-keepers, or clerks—
Then shopmen, or warehousemen—
Then laborers in husbandry, that is the farmers—for you must observe that where there is nobility or no-ability, or best blood, the farmers are put in the lowest class!
What say these classes of persons in the United States to those distinctions!
Is the Aurora their enemy because it tells them the truth, and does not deceive them—or is it because it tells too much truth for them to bear?
If then these classes are registered, as the lowest grades of servants, that is ranked with the unfortunate negroes,
How much lower must the mechanics be deemed?
Cobbett tells you they are all PAUPERS in England—that is beggars!
Burr's conspiracy, calls on every real American, at the next election to exert himself—it calls on him to give his sacred vote for none but men who will support the principles of equality.
Who invented the steam engine? Mechanics.
Who invented and improved the fire engine? Mechanics.
Who invented and improved the loom? Mechanics.
Who invented and improved all the machinery of mill work? Mechanics.
Who build and improve the arts of navigating the sea in ships? Mechanics.
By all their various mechanical arts, it is that Britain has obtained her boasted manufactures and trade.
And yet British agents term the mechanics of America—"Low bred tradesmen"—"the vulgar."
Mechanics and farmers, it rests with yourselves, if you are disposed to bend your necks to the Burr's, or to British emissaries—they are ready to set their feet upon you.
If you are determined to be free men, only count your numbers—but be not content with computation—be united with each other—there is room enough for us all in this happy wooden world of ours—nay more, mechanics and farmers, it is a solemn truth that the more work you do, the more business you will have to do—because if you do enough for the consumption of the country, you would not have either foreign competition—nor the dangerous influence which foreign agents exercise to keep your industry under, and to retard the public prosperity to which peace contributes so much, and which war would
either destroy or retard for twenty years.
Look to your happy country and be proud that there is no lord or lordling to put you from the path of industry, nor to tear from you the fruits of your honest labor and genius.
If you betray such a country by aiding those who are your vilifiers and the disturbers of your country's peace—you or your children must feel remorse. Act by your country as the men of 1776 acted—and the joys of conscious rectitude will lengthen your lives and bless your posterity.
Jacobinism is an opposition to government, an hostility to the "rulers of the people." —This was the federal definition of Jacobinism during the reign of terror, and the brightest of Major Russell's "bright days of prosperity." Democrats were jacobins because they doubted the patriotism of Adams and his associates—They were jacobins because they would not bow before the golden image that ambition had erected—They were jacobins because they refused to acknowledge the British government the "most stupendous fabric of excellence"; and because they rather chose to consider it as the "most stupendous fabric of iniquity"—They were jacobins because they viewed the French revolution as a laudable effort to regain the rights of man—because they recollected the principles that originated our own independence, because like Hannibal before the Altar, they would not vow eternal hatred to them, wherever else they appeared—for these and many other federal reasons we were honored with the title of jacobins. Republicans having an opportunity to return the favor, will offer a few reasons why the same appellation should now be conferred upon federalists.
Taking their own definition Federalists are jacobins, because they oppose the National Administration—they are jacobins because they are in hostility to the Government as well as the men that administer it—they are jacobins because they love a foreign country better than their own—because their favorite object is a division of the Union—because they countenance conspirators and applaud the intended assassination of our President—they are jacobins because they detest the orderly maintenance of a republican government and desire the disorderly establishment of a monarchy; finally, they are jacobins because they seek the destruction of every government that tolerates political liberty. "Let the people judge" which have most jacobinism in their natures, the friends or enemies of the present administration. [Regis.]
Foreign Intelligence.
FRENCH GRAND ARMY.
SIXTY FIFTH BULLETIN.
Osteroide, March 10, 1807.
The army is cantoned behind the Passarge.
Having been informed, on the 1st March, that the enemy, encouraged by the position which the army had taken, had shewed themselves all along the right bank of the Passarge, the emperor ordered Marshals Soult and Ney to reconnoitre, and to advance to repulse them. Marshal Ney marched on to Guttstadt; Marshal Soult passed the Passarge at Wormditt. The enemy immediately made a general movement, and retreated towards Koningsberg. Their posts, which had retired in great haste, were pursued 3 leagues. Seeing that the French did not make any other movement, and that they were pursued only by the advanced guards who had left their regiments, two regiments of Russian grenadiers returned back, and in the night approached the cantonment of Zochern. The 50th regiment received them with the bayonet. The 27th and 39th behaved in the same manner.
In these little combats the Russians have had one thousand men killed, wounded or taken prisoners.
After being thus assured of the movements of the enemy, the army has returned into its cantonments.
The grand duke of Berg, informed that a corps of Cavalry had approached Willemberg, caused it to be attacked by Prince Borghese, who at the head of his regiment charged eight Russian squadrons, overthrew and put them to the rout, and made about 100 prisoners amongst whom are 3 captains and 8 subalterns.
Marshal Lefebvre has entirely surrounded Dantziok, and has begun at that place the works of circumvallation.
SIXTY-SIXTH BULLETIN.
Osteroide, March 14.
The grand army continues in cantonments, where it is taking repose. Little combats have taken place between the advanced posts of the two armies. Two regiments of Russian cavalry came on the 12th to disturb the 69th regiment of infantry of the line in its cantonment of Lingnau,
and before Custett. One battalion of that regiment took arms, ambushed themselves, and fired close to the enemy, who left 80 men on the field.—General Guvot, who commanded the advanced posts of Marshal Soult, has had several engagements which have determined to his advantage.
After the little battle of Willemberg, the grand duke of Berg had driven all the Cossacks from the right bank of the Elbe, in order to assure himself that the enemy was not concealing some movement. He came to Wartembaut, Seeburg, Meusgruth, and Bischoffsbourg. He has had some engagements with the enemy's cavalry, and has made about 100 Cossacks prisoners.
The Russian army have been to concentrate the coast of Bartenstein on the Alle; the Russian division on the coast of Creutzbourg.
The enemy has made a movement of one day's march towards Koningsberg.—The whole of the French army is cantoned, and is supplied with provisions from the cities of Elbing, Braunfsberg, and from the resources which are brought from the isle of Nogat, which is of very great fertility.
General Teulier has invested Colberg.
A division of 12,000 Bavarians, commanded by the prince royal of Bavaria, has passed the Vistula at Warfaw, and has just rejoined the army.
MILAN, MARCH 17.
We learn from Constantinople, that all the Russian merchantmen there were seized on the 12th February; and that two frigates from Corfu, with troops, had been taken at the Dardanelles.
FRANKFORT, MARCH 19.
Vienna letters state, that a great part of Gen. Michelson's army, in Turkey, had been ordered to join Bennigsen.
LONDON, MARCH 31.
The London Gazette of Last evening contains a list of official appointments.—Gen. Sir James Pulteney is appointed Secretary at War; and a Privy Counsellor.—Mr. Percival Chancellor of the Exchequer. The other appointments have before been stated.
DENMARK, MARCH 8.
Our Court has notified to the Ambassador of his Britannic majesty, that they have viewed with displeasure, an English fleet in the Baltic.
ALTONA, MARCH 12.
The Danish government has given orders to its subjects, to furnish the corps of marshal Mortier, with every thing in their power.
Several persons of rank have received orders to quit Petersburg, in consequence of being accused of speaking too freely of the events of war, and laying the fault on the government.
WARSAW, MARCH 6.
Prince of Benevento, minister of exterior relation who has lately arrived from the imperial head quarters at Osterode, previous to his return transmitted a note to the foreign ambassadors, informing them that they must return to Berlin with their suits.
HAGUE, MARCH 18.
In virtue of a particular proclamation of his majesty, the assembly of West Frise, who have never met since 1791, assembled on the 9th of this month at Aurich.
RUSSIAN OFFICIAL ACCOUNT
"Konigsberg, Feb. 22, 1807."
"General Sedmoratzky who has just effected a junction with my army, has brought with him 1400 Prussian prisoners, from 2 to 300 Frenchmen, and a great deal of baggage, which he has taken from the enemy. The retrograde march of Bonaparte rather resembles flight than a retreat. It is solely to the swiftness of our Cossack's horses that we are indebted for the enormous quantity of prisoners that have been daily made since the battle of Eylau. The day before yesterday they took 200, yesterday 150, and to-day 385, 4 officers, besides baggage, waggons, forage and provisions. Every thing that we can come up with is taken. The French soldiers, dying with hunger and fatigue, no longer feel a disposition to defend themselves. At the mere sight of our troops they throw away their arms and demand bread. My advanced posts are at Leibstadt. The whole army is in full march. My head-quarters alone remain at Konigsberg, as my ill health, and the extreme fatigue I have undergone, compel me to take a few moments of repose here. I set out to-morrow. The Prussian division, commanded, by general Pletz, is at the extremity of my right wing on the heights of Brandenburg. General Sedmoratzky, and general Lestocq, form together my left wing. The grand army is in the centre; and in this order we advance toward the Vistula, embracing Thorn on one side and Elbing on the other. I hope my troops will soon shew themselves on the other side of that river. In the mean time, my advanced guard, reinforced by general Platow's Cossacks, a considerable part of whom have already reached their destination, pursue the enemy without relaxation, and harass them by their petty warfare, which is as strange to them as it is advantageous to us."
BENNIGSEN,

LYNCHBURG, (PENN.) MAY 7.
Earthquake. —On the Morning of the first instant, at day brake, a severe shock of an earthquake, was experienced at this place. The tremulous motion of the earth was such as to agitate the houses in such a manner, that the noise made by the furniture, windows, and doors awoke the most of those who slept.—The agitation bore proportion to the height of the place.
On Mount Atlas , the very elevated residence of Major William Lewis, near Rolf's Iron Works, on James River, about seven miles to the South of Lynchburg, his large stone dwelling with all its contents, were so shaken, and in his opinion for upwards of a minute, as to excite extreme alarm.—Such was the tremulous motion, and so long continued at the plantation of Major John Ward, situated also on an eminence, in sight of, and about a mile and an half distant hence on the Amherst shore, that the affrighted negroes precipitately deserted their cabins, and ran to the overseer's house for protection and explanation.—The progress of the deep rumbling noise, and consequent concussion, appeared to be in the direction from S. E. to N. W.
WILKESBARRE, (Penn.) May 8.
If the winter has not been severer than any preceding one for a long course of years, it has at least marked its way by as many melancholy circumstances. We some time ago mentioned the death of the unfortunate Merritt, at Wyalsulung, and to day we have learned the fate of another citizen, who perished by the cold.
In the beginning of January last, Mr. John Smith of Sugar-creek, took his rifle and started into the woods on an excursion after deer. As it was often the case when his pursuit led him far from home that he took shelter at the house of some acquaintance, his family were not alarmed at his absence through the night. The next day passed and the day following, and the anxious wife had wearied her eyes in vain, in watching the path way for the return of her partner. On the fourth, she extended the alarm for Mr. Smith through the neighborhood, and a number of men went out in pursuit of him.—After following his track in various directions, for many miles, they at length, towards evening came to the spot where the wretched wanderer expired. It appeared that Mr. Smith had attempted to kindle fire in an old log, but in blowing the spark, cold, hunger and fatigue overpowered him, and he sunk back upon the snow, and without a struggle or exertion closed his eyes forever. The day before Mr. Smith went out, he held his dog to a man who lived about twenty miles from him, and Mr. Ruddy (the purchaser) had led him home. But the faithful animal was found upon the breast of his own master, watching with all the solicitude of love, the moment when he should awake. He had scratched around him and upon his master's breast, undoubtedly to awaken him; but when he found it in vain, coiled himself over his heart, and there had nearly expired. Faithful creature! thy fidelity and attachment, shame the boasted virtues of man. The manner in which the dog found his master is a question difficult to resolve. He was in the wilderness, ten miles from Mr. Ruddy's, and on tracing his track for some distance, it appeared that he came in a direct course to the spot from the house of his new master, and it could not be discovered that he had been at all on the track of Mr. Smith.
The deceased was a man much and deservedly esteemed by his acquaintance;—he has left a wife and seven children to mourn their loss and his untimely fate.
MURDERED!
In Centreville the 7th inst. Capt. John A. Gouch, of the above town of a pistol ball shot by Robert Trimble. The amiable, generous and humane disposition of this young man, endeared him to every person of his acquaintance. He has left an amiable widow. All his acquaintance lament his untimely death; and the citizens of Centreville and of Livingston county, pledge themselves to make up and pay a reward of two hundred dollars to any person or persons who shall apprehend the said Robert Trimble, or ledge him in any jail of the United States, or shall secure him so that he might be brought to condign punishment.
The said Robert Trimble is a young man about 5 feet 10 inches high, close set, strait made, about 23 or 24 years of age, he is regularly featured, but in general of a downcast look of his eyes and eyebrows, dark hair and dark eyes.
Livingston County, N. Y. March 7.
Mr. Duane, FROM THE AURORA.
I saw in your paper a recommendation for some citizens to import the spring flying shuttle from Europe: the intention was laudable, but it was not necessary to go to Europe for what we have among us in actual use.
Let any one that is curious in matters of this kind, take a walk to Blockley township, and he will see the spring flying shuttle used by a young woman who can weave sixty yards of cloth in a day with it, and can do so for weeks together.
If the happy policy of Jefferson and democracy is preferred only five or six years longer, America will neither be the least conspicuous or the least active in the use of machinery; I will venture to say and do not speak lightly nor ignorantly but what I particularly understand, we are likely to outstrip any European nation whatever.
MECHANIC.
PROVIDENCE, MAY 16.
CAUTION. —Several pieces, of washed metal resembling Eagles of the United States, Half Eagles and quarters have been passed in this town as good coin. They were originally intended for counters, and were sold in the shops as such. During the last winter a stranger passed through town in a sleigh, with a bag of counters, resembling Half Eagles, and put one of them off for 5 dollars.
Beware of Bank Notes which promise no payment.
We are desired to caution the public against being deceived by a new species of Bank Notes, which are receivable at the Banks from which they issue for debts due to those particular Banks, but which for other purposes are worth less than blank paper, we have yet seen these bills from two Banks only, viz. the Worcester and Coos Bank.
To prove the grossness of this imposition, it is only necessary to copy the face of the Bill—which is, "The President, Directors and Company of the _____ Bank promise to RECEIVE of _____ or bearer, this Bill for FIVE DOLLARS, in payment of debts due said Bank &c."

TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1807.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
Since our last, London dates to April 2d. have been received.—A rumour was then floating of a negotiation for peace between France and Russia, mediated by Austria, being on foot. Where, or in what it originated, did not appear. It will be recollected, that previous to the battle of Eylau, the Emperor Napoleon made a pacific overture, which was rejected by the Russians.—If declarations are to be adhered to, neither party can yet confidently make peace.
No recent military operations of moment were mentioned. But the bum of preparation was heard.—Each army had been reinforced, and the Russian commander appeared to keep a watchful eye on the movements of his great antagonist, assisted as they were to be by the able and experienced Massena.
We have nothing further from Turkey,—From which quarter interesting events may be looked for. [Continued.]
The last bulletins sufficiently explain what confidence we ought to put in the information of the belligerent powers respecting each other. It now fully appears that the French had not retreated as was reported. And not a circumstance appears as has been represented respecting the French armies. We were told they were sick and wasting—This has never yet appeared. That they were discouraged, this has not yet appeared. Whatever has happened it has never been what has been predicted. If the news at home is as true as that from foreign countries we have little to defer confidence.
Gen. Bennigsen affirms, that by the skirmishes with the out-posts of the French, he has made many prisoners. The French Bulletins allow these skirmishes. As usual they tell each other's losses but not their own.—But it is conceded by Gen. Bennigsen sufficiently that the French hold the stations they claim in the bulletins. A comparison of the several communications may then assure of the position of the two armies, and then it will not be difficult to determine what real advantages have been gained. Salem Reg.
Some late letters respecting the battle of Eylau, say, "That the number of killed and wounded amounted to no less than 55,000 men."
It is said that the English have the Dardanelles. All the good expected from this evil is, that the English will for the present look into that quarter for plunder from a nation at war with them, and will probably be more quiet with some other nations. [ib.]
It is said that the English have a garrison in Alexandria. This will be a new plea with the French for visiting the Holy Land, and for new promises to the Hebrews; as a march by land into Egypt would not be difficult in alliance with the present owners of the soil, and Jerusalem is in the way. [ib.]
"Let one figure to himself, upon the surface of a square league, 9 or 10,000 dead bodies, 4 or 5,000 horses slain, lines of Russian knapsacks, pieces of muskets and swords, the earth covered with bullets."—Such is the language of the 64th Bulletin of the French army, in describing the horrid spectacle which presented itself after the battle of Eylau. The picture would indeed be to a mind not hardened by brutality, black and dismal—But why is the massacre at Eylau a lone mentioned?—Let imagination be farther excited, and bring to its view the battles of Austerlitz, of Jena, of Pultusk, of Mohrungen, and others, in which so many human beings have been cruelly slaughtered, and where "mouths of fire" vomited forth destruction. Let one imagine that he hears the groans of the wounded and the dying; the shrieks of the widow who has lost the partner of her bosom, and the lamentations of the orphan, in a moment bereaved of a fond, an indulgent father; and thrown upon the charity of a cruel and degenerate world. Let these scenes be pictured to his imagination (and they are scenes that have really occurred) and if his bosom does not swell with emotions of pity, sorrow, and regret, he must indeed be less than man.
And for what purpose is it that the plains of Europe are thus drenched with human blood? Is it to achieve the freedom and independence of nations, or to refuse millions from an ignominious bondage? Are these unfortunate beings who are thus sacrificing their lives, "seeking through blood and slaughter, their long lost liberty?" No; they are fighting to maintain the dignity , and to gratify the ambition of Kings and Despots—of men who can look calmly on, and smile at the butchery of their fellow creatures—because it adds a new laurel to the wreath which decks their brow and gives them a brighter claim to glory and renown—But what do the poor and oppressed peasantries gain by all these feats of heroism? Of what advantage is the victory of Jena to the soldiers of Bonaparte—or what benefit would the subjects of Frederick, have reaped from it, if success had crowned their endeavors? They would have still continued the slaves of some unfeeling monarch, and obtained neither an increase of honor nor of wealth from the glorious victory ! Both the one and the other is reserved either for the Members of the Legion of Honor , or for the Dukes, Counts, and Marshals of the Empire!
In contemplating the slaughter made amongst the human species during the last two years by the crowned heads of Europe, the mind involuntarily shudders at the horrid idea which is presented, and is lost in unutterable astonishment.—At Austerlitz, more than 30,000 men, "bit the dust"—so at Jena, Pultusk, and at Eylau—in other battles of less notoriety thousands have either breathed their last, or become so shockingly mangled, as to sue for deliverance in the icy arms of death.—Upon a moderate computation, since the rupture between Bonaparte and the Emperors of Germany, Prussia and Russia, broke out, 200,000 men have lost their lives, in espousing their imaginary wrongs ! [Peterburg Intelligencer.]
There are eight ships of 300 tons burnt there each, now loading at our wharves with Flour for England: five for London and three for Liverpool: a continuation of the war and keeping of the Baltic shut will cause the demand for flour to increase in England and cannot fail to raise the price. [Philadelphia papers.]

ALGIERS AND TUNIS. An arrival at Plymouth, from Malaga, in 44 days, has brought the following note from the American Consul there: "By letters from Algiers, dated Feb. 22, we learn, that the Dey has declared war against Tunis. Two Algerine frigates had sailed, and another was to follow in a few days, for the purpose as was supposed of blockading Tunis. A number of rebees and gun boats were getting ready, artillery shipping, and accommodations for troops preparing in the vessels, from which it was inferred that a very spirited attack on Tunis was intended."
Letters from Spain by a late arrival say, that a very considerable alteration has taken place in the court of Madrid, in relation to the affairs pending between that nation and the United States—and that all differences are expected to be terminated by a negotiation said to be going on.
The following paragraph appeared in a Nantz Gazette, of the 3d of February, taken from a Paris paper: "We are assured that the government of Spain, and the United States, have actually come to a good understanding on all the points which divided them; that the cession of Florida is agreed to; that the price is fixed; and that nothing remains to be settled, but the mode of payment."
Robbery and attempt at murder! One of the most daring Robberies and attempts at murder was committed last Friday evening between 10 and 11 o'clock, in Bath; perhaps never equalled any where. Capt. Thayer, master of a brig from Providence, called at Mr. Winship's public house to pay some money to a gentleman whom he expected to find there; after waiting till 10 o'clock, and the person not coming, he set out with an intention of going on board his vessel. The moon gave a considerable light but was occasionally obscured with clouds—just as he had got to the head of the wharf, and within a few rods of his vessel, two Ruffians rushed out from behind a building; one of them seizing him by the throat, asked him if his name was Thayer; being answered in the affirmative, the other searched his pockets, and took therefrom his Pocket-Book, containing four bills of the L. and K. Bank, of One Hundred Dollars each—he then fired a pistol, the muzzel of which was placed against his side; the ball passed through his coat and waistcoat and struck against one of the buttons of his suspender, leaving the intire impression of the size of the bullet thereon and some of the lead was also left on the button—The force of the ball was so great that the button was driven into his side some ways, and the parts around for several inches was dreadfully bruised, and has caused him to raise a considerable quantity of blood. It is allowed by every person that has seen the wound, that a more providential escape from death never perhaps ever happened. After the Villains had fired they took from him his watch, and they left him precipitately, thinking they had prevented him from making any alarm.—The whole transaction was so instantaneous that Capt. Thayer could not distinguish their countenances. One of them was a considerable taller than the other, and had on a great coat, the other had on a short jacket and white trousers. Search was immediately made, but no discovery.
THE DRYER SLOOP ON WAR. This little insignificant wasp has insultingly entered the harbour of Charleston in defiance of the proclamation of the President. The public will recollect that this sloop was in company with the Cambrian at Sandy Hook, when Mr. Pierce was killed by a cannon shot from the Cambrian. It was on this occasion that the President of the United States issued his proclamation, forbidding those two vessels to enter any of the waters of the United States, or to be supplied with water or provisions, or to have any communication with the land. If it be asked, why this fresh insult been offered, the answer is easy, because there was not force to prevent it. The proclamation of the President has not been seconded by the necessary provisions for carrying it into effect. Had the proposal for building two hundred gun-boats (each carrying at least a 24 pounder) been agreed to by Congress, neither the Dyer sloop nor any other vessel of war dared have entered the waters of the United States without permission. But as to fortifications, a vessel of war cares nothing about them. She can always keep out of the reach of their guns, or with a brisk wind and tide can run past them in a few minutes. [N. Y. Public Advertiser.] The British sloop of war Dyer failed from Charleston on Monday the 11 inst. The captain got a supply of water from Sullivan's Island, and provisions from an English Guineaman in the harbor.
THE GAZETTE that was in the pay of Hammond and Lison, and which has, through every stage of British tyranny and influence towards the United States, vindicated the outrages, and supported the corrupt influence of that country; that gazette which is called the Gazette of the U. States , as Cullen's gazette is called the People's Friend —exults in the audacity of the British sloop of war Dyer, coming into the port of Charleston, in opposition to the proclamation of the executive of the American union; and more, avows that the object of that vessel's coming, is to obtain water, and insult the country." It is not by any means surprising, that British ships of war should insult the country, when there are so many traitors in it—when there are so many wretches sold to England for pitiful stipends—and who are always eager to insult the United States, and to defend the outrages of the great sea robber. [Aurora.]
The many efforts to cast blame upon the administration for its energies upon the alarming reports respecting Col. Burr, have obliged a scrutiny, which might otherwise have never been attempted. Letters are produced which imply that citizens of the United States intended to employ Mr. Burr as the instrument of their designs against the administration of the United States. Whether Col. Burr was engaged in such designs is another thing, but the disposition of a writer may be expressed, whatever may be his success. If such were the ripened projects of some men in the union, it can easily be conceived why much rancour should be employed against Gen. Wilkinson, who frustrated all such designs, and that they should convert measures of supposed necessity into an intended violation of the rights of the citizens. And upon such belief it will be easy to see that they who reproached Col. Burr upon a point of honour, should defend him very zealously against a charge of breach of faith. [Salem Register.]
WFUL EXPLOSION. The following account of a most awful explosion of gunpowder, on board a vessel in the Rapenburg canal, at Leyden, in Holland, is copied from a late English paper. SCHIEDAM, (Holland,) Jan. 13. Last night, about 5 o'clock, the inhabitants of this city were alarmed by a most violent concussion, proceeding as it was thought from the North West. The windows of several houses here were forced open by the shock. At first it was imagined that the powder magazine at Delft had blown up; but after the lapse of a few hours, it appeared that all was tranquil in that city. To day we learn, with horror and astonishment, that the most magnificent part of Leyden was the scene of this terrific explosion. It seems that a vessel laden with 20,000 lbs. weight of gunpowder from Amsterdam, destined for Delft, and then lying in the Rapenburg Canal, there, by some means took fire, and instantly blew up, destroying all the houses in the vicinity of the canal, occasioned the premature death of some thousands of the inhabitants. When this account was written, the flames were said to be still raging. Of 60 children in a boarding school, five or six only are said to have been saved, but scorched dreadfully. Some say that the university is nearly destroyed, and that the Jewish Synagogue is reduced to ashes. Of the vessel, on board which were the owner's two sons and a servant, not an atom is visible.
FIRES! —The Marine Hospital, at Norfolk, was principally destroyed by fire 3d inst.—The Cotton Manufactory, at Patterson, (N. J.) was destroyed the 13th with all the machinery, &c. Loss 20,000 dollars. This is public as well as private calamity.—Yesterday morning, an out building of the Academy in Medford was consumed by fire; and nothing but the spirited and active exertions of the inhabitants of that town prevented the Academy, &c. sharing the same fate—part of which was consumed.
On Thursday eve 14th inst. two gentlemen in company in a coach, with two ladies, were robbed of their money, by two foot-pads, near New-York city.
THE CIRCUIT COURT of the United States was held on Tuesday last in this town. His honor Judge CUSING being prevented from attending the Circuit by indisposition, the honorable Judge SHURBURN presided, and delivered a very learned, able, and eloquent charge to the Grand Jury.—At this court came on the trial of Benjamin Noyes , for passing counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States—Mr. HUMPHREYS, the District Attorney, and Mr. CARRIGAIN were counsel for the Government, and Mr. MASON for Noyes. After a lengthy and impartial trial, Noyes was acquitted, from the insufficiency of the evidence produced against him.
Extract of a letter, dated Gibraltar, March 10, 1807. "Yesterday a British hired Schooner was captured by four Spanish gun boats in the Gutt, she was commanded by a lieut. of the navy, had dispatches from admiral Duckworth for the British government—left admiral Duckworth with 14 sail of the line at anchor by the Dardenals, as the Turkish government had refused permission for the fleet to go up. The Turkish fleet was at Constantinople ready for sea, consisting of 17 ships of the line, this is the report received from said felch previous to her being taken."
Londonderry papers of the 7th of April, have been received in Philadelphia.—They bring no information worth detailing. Discontent gathers strength in Ireland.—Depredations are committed nightly by the people called Threshers , not withstanding numbers of them have been executed.—We have no doubt, but, that if the present British administration continues in power, it will goad the people of Ireland to insurrection, and establish a military despotism. [Pres.]
A commercial letter from New-Orleans, states, that the crop of Cotton which will be this year exported from the Mississippi, is 35,000 bales; Sugar 12,000 hogsheads; Tobacco, 3,000 hds.; Flour 250,000 barrels. Markets at St. Thomas, April 19, very bad, in consequence of many Americans touching there to sell all articles prohibited in the English Islands—Lumber and Salted Provisions great drugs. Arrived at Boston on Friday last, brig Montezuma, Odiorne, of this port, in 23 days from Antigua.

The impeachment of governor McKean is not only honorable to democratic principles, but highly useful as an example to public functionaries—when men entrusted with the power of the people play the tyrant—the only check upon usurpation, is punishment; and the sooner this follows the crime, the more effectual will it prove in the prevention of transgression—the house of representatives have faithfully discharged their trust, and if ever a public body was entitled to public honors, they certainly are; for under various difficulties, which to ordinary minds and less vigorous principles, would have appeared insurmountable, they have arraigned a criminal at the bar of the public, and have laid the ground work, for his dismissal from office. The good effects of the republican system, and the vigorous pursuit of justice, will be rendered apparent, and the security to our rights will be the necessary result of punishing a man, who has considered the constitution and the laws as clay in the hands of the potter. [Ibid.]
The fate of governors Strong, McKean, and Lewis, ought to teach public men, that the only safe course of politics is fidelity to the people. [Ibid.]

EPITAPH
ON A PIOUS YOUNG LADY. Few tears and calm she met the fatal blow And left, without a sigh, these scenes below: A band of cherubs join'd her on the road, And safe convey'd her to the bright abode, Where perfect spirits sweet communion hold, And chaunt seraphic airs to harps of gold.
DIED, —On the 15th March, at the house of Capt. Levi Palmer, of East-Haddam, widow Mary Sparrow, relict of the late Nathaniel Sparrow, of that town. The circumstances attending the death of this woman are deemed so important as to merit the notice of the public; and it is not improbable they will excite to astonishment the medical faculty, and prompt to industrious researches with a view to a correct elucidation of this singular medical phenomenon. She was corpulent to a very unusual degree; in her person and house-wifery she was very neat and tidy. She never had any children; during the greatest part of her life, had lived in circumstances of competence. For about one year previous to her decease, she had been troubled with a difficulty, in the nosophagus of swallowed, either solid or liquid substances, the effort was attended with an uneasy sensation. This difficulty of deglutition had increased for several of the last months of her life; and, during the same period, was often succeeded by retching, and a rejection of what she had swallowed. Medical aid, altho' faithfully administered, did not afford relief. On dissection, which was performed in the presence, and by the assistance, of Thomas Moseley, M. D. (late President of the Con. Med. Society) Doctors Augustus Mather; all of East-Haddam, and Robert Usher, of Chatham, the following was discovered:
Appearances after Dissection. —On laying open the integuments, the stomach appeared considerably distended. On the left side, were several hydatides attached to the stomach on the outside, the contents of which were various. Of some they were thin and transparent; of others, only and glutinous; and the matter contained in one was purulent. Some of these contents were fetid, whilst others were free from factor. The largest hydatide contained a dark colored water, about half a pint in quantity. A scirrhous was formed upon and round the left orifice of the stomach, which extended to a considerable distance. The stomach, on being laid open, was found to contain about a pint and a half of a yellowish, unctuous mucous, immersed in which were two balls of hair—one about the size of a goose's, the other of a hen's egg. This hair, some of which the writer of this article has seen, is of a brown color, with rather a reddish cast resembling cattle's hair; is nearly of an equal length, (about two inches) and on being examined with a microscope, it evidently exhibits the radical, and the pointed end, common to hair of that description. In that portion of it which the writer has seen, some few hairs were of a darker complexion than the generality of them. Whence it originated, or how it was conveyed into the stomach, in such a quantity, are questions which the writer will not attempt to answer. At first view it may, perhaps, appear easy to the reader to solve these queries. But after maturely reflecting on the subject, difficulties will, probably, suggest themselves to his mind, which it will not be easy to obviate. It is, certainly a very rare occurrence, and will, doubtless, give rise to different opinions among men of science.
