STATE OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE.
In the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and five.
AN ACT, to secure to masters and apprentices bound by deed or indenture, their mutual privileges.
SECT. 1. BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened, That minors of the age of fourteen years or upwards, may be bound by deed or indenture, as apprentices, to the age of twenty-one years, by their father, or in case of his decease, by their mother or guardian, having the minors consent expressed in the indenture. And any minor having no father, mother, or guardian, may by deed or indenture bind himself, with the approbation of the selectmen, or the overseers of the poor or a major part of them, of the town where said minor belongs; Provided, that in every case, there shall be two indentures, of the same tenor and form, executed by both, one to be kept by each party. And where any are bound by the selectmen or overseers of the poor, they shall express their approbation thereon and sign the same. And all contracts which shall be made by any parent, guardian, selectmen or overseers, or by any minor for himself pursuant to this act, shall be good and effectual in law against all parties.
SECT. 2d. BE it further enacted, That if any apprentice bound as aforesaid shall depart from the service of his said master, it shall be lawful for the master of said apprentice to empower any and all persons (by giving public notice in any newspaper, or by posting up advertisements in public places) to apprehend, detect, and bring back said apprentice to the place of his duty; in which case the necessary expenses shall be defrayed by the said master, to be recovered by him of said apprentices parent or guardian, together with the reasonable damage he may have sustained by said apprentices absconding or leaving his service, and the same shall be a proper article of charge in his guardianship account.
SECT. 3d. BE it further enacted, That it shall be the right and duty of all parents and guardians, selectmen or overseers, as the case may be to enquire into the usage of such minors, and defend them from the cruelties, neglects, or breaches of covenant of the said master; and such parents, guardians, selectmen, or overseers, in case of breaches of the contract as above, may complain to any Justice of the peace in said county, of any personal cruelty, ill usage, neglect or breaches of covenant, and the justice after having duly notified the parties, shall proceed to hear and determine such complaints, and if the complaint shall be supported, the court may render judgment that the said minor be discharged from the obligation and service of his said master, and the said master to pay costs of court, and all damage the said apprentice may in the judgment of the court have sustained from any cruelty, ill usage, or neglect of his said master, or from any personal abuse of the master, or from others the said master may have countenanced in abusing said apprentice, and execution may be issued accordingly; but if said complaint shall not be supported, the court shall award costs to the respondent.
SECT. 4th. And be it further enacted, That in case any apprentice shall lay violent hands on, strike or violently abuse his said master, his master on complaint may have him tried before some Justice of the Peace of said county; and if it shall be made to appear that said apprentice is guilty in manner and form as shall be represented to said court, said apprentice, his parent or guardian shall pay all damages his said master may have sustained by any such abuse, violence or injury, and costs of court—and any such conduct may acquit the said master from all obligations he may be under to said apprentice, his parent or guardian, if the master chooses to give up the indenture which he has entered into with the parties.
SECT. 5th. And be it further enacted, That if any apprentice bound as aforesaid, shall be guilty of any gross misbehaviour, wilful neglect or refusal of his duty and persist therein after being suitably remonstrated with by his said master, he, the said master may complain thereof to any Justice of the Peace in said county, whereof he is an inhabitant, and the said Justice after duly notifying said apprentice and all persons covenanting on his behalf, shall proceed to hear and decide on such complaints; and if the said complaint shall be supported, he may render judgment that the said master shall be discharged from the contract or covenant he may be under to said apprentice, his parent, guardian or selectmen, as the case may be; and the cost shall be paid by the said parent, guardian or minor.
SECT. 6th. And be it further enacted, That when it shall be made to appear that the master of any apprentice has been negligent in teaching or causing any apprentice to be taught the art, trade or profession he became obligated to teach him, the same shall be actionable in any court of law suitable to try the same, and the court shall award such damage to said apprentice, as he shall make to appear in the judgment of said court after he shall become of age, and execution may issue accordingly against such master.
SECT. 7th. And be it further enacted, That in case any person or persons shall persuade or entice away any apprentice from the service of his master, or secrete, convey, send or carry off any apprentice either by sea or land, or cause any apprentice to leave his said master so as to deprive any master of the service of any apprentice, such person or persons thus secreting or conveying away any apprentice as above, shall make good all damages to said master, besides paying a fine to the use of the county of not less than five dollars, or more than one hundred dollars; as the guilt or aggravation of the case may be made to appear in the judgment of any court proper to try the same.
SECT. 8th. And be it further enacted, That no covenant of apprenticeship entered into by any minor, his parent, guardian or selectmen as the case may be, for the purpose of such minors learning any trade, mystery or art, and made to any master, shall be binding on such minor, parent or guardian, &c. after the decease of the master; but on the death of such master, the said covenant shall be deemed null and void from that time, unless when it shall so happen that the apprentices time agreeably to contract shall have nearly expired; in this case, it shall be optional with the apprentice to tarry his time out in the service of the widow, or the executor or administrator of his said master's estate, and thereby become entitled to all the gifts, grants, engagements and promises set forth and specified in the indenture of apprenticeship; and the same shall be paid out of the estate of his said master, as though the master had lived until his apprenticeship had expired.

MISCELLANY.
From the London Courier, Oct. 31.
Extract of a private Letter from New Orleans, 19th July.
The government has divided Louisiana into three provinces or territories, which will take the name of States, when they enter into the confederacy—that is, when the inhabitants of each of these territories shall be numerous enough to send two members to the senate, and a deputy to the lower house of congress.
The produce of the last year brought us so large a quantity of grain, salted provisions, planks, cotton, &c. that we were obliged to build several new magazines. The custom house books make the exportation of cotton amount to 8,950,000 pounds, which, added to that of Western Florida, Georgia, and the two Carolinas, from a total of 31 millions for the year 1804, without reckoning what has been employed in the paper mills and in private families.
The commercial staple town which the President of the United States has established amongst our western neighbours, since the cession of Louisiana, have been so wisely administered, that hitherto the chiefs of these tribes have not made a single complaint to our governor.
After so many fruitless efforts and essays as old as the origin of our colonies, the first magistrate of these
colonies, become independent states, has at length been able to civilize the proud inhabitants of the forests by rendering them more happy, and by establishing a permanent peace between them and us.
POLITICAL.
From the Republican Farmer.
What is the cheapest and best mode for our present national defence?
One hundred thousand organised militia, completely equipped and well disciplined.
The bill before Congress, for "authorising a detachment from the militia of the United States," is violently opposed by the federalists as involving in it "some serious intentions on the part of government, or else it is a solemn mockery, a mere political farce."
It appears evident that every other measure but a navy that can be invented for our defence, will be opposed by federalists. As they pretend to claim almost all the foresight, wisdom and knowledge of the nation, it may be necessary to inquire whether America is yet able to "build, equip and maintain a navy;" or, provided we were able and willing, would it be good policy?
For an answer to this, we offer the following statement, extracted from the Trenton True American, with some remarks on the expence of building, equipping, and maintaining
A NAVY.
Every thinking and candid man will agree with us, that unless we have a more formidable navy than any other nation it will avail us nothing. If we had forty ships of war, and Great-Britain, for example, had fifty, a great proportion to ours, in case of a contest, would inevitably fall into her hands, while the residue would yield us no essential service, and tend only to augment her superiority.
Are we prepared to lay the foundation of a Navy to Cope with that of Great-Britain?
Her navy consists of more than seven hundred ships of war—of these more than one hundred and thirty are ships of the line, of which number many are first rates. We have no data at hand upon which to form an estimate of the expence of getting afloat such a navy as this, or of the expence of maintaining it when a-
float; but some idea may be formed from the few following facts—
The expence of building a 74 gun ship is estimated at 192,500 dollars. The annual expence of do. is 192,500 dollars, which in five years, the longest term a ship of war can be presumed to last, will amount to 968,500
1,291,380
A simple question next arises which any school-boy will solve in a moment—if one 74 cost 1,291,380 dollars in five years, how much will 130 cost in the same term of time?
Answer, 167,879,400 dollars!!!
This immense sum, it will be observed, it would require to equip and maintain for five years as many ships of the line as Britain has; and, besides those of the line, she has nearly 600 ships of war of various forts and sizes in commission!
The estimates of what 600 of such kind of 50 gun ships, frigates, sloops of war, &c. as Britain has, would cost us to fit out for our defence, is not ascertained; therefore not included in the above statement.
And still, if we had this navy afloat, the jealousy of other nations would provoke more depredations on our commerce than we now sustain—and so remote and dispersed are many of the ports we trade at, and so distant and scattered our merchantmen, that twice such a fleet as Britain has could not protect them; unless our admirals should, blood-thirsty Nelson like, bare down on every ship they met afloat and sink them in the sea.
National Legislature.
NINTH CONGRESS.....FIRST SESSION.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TUESDAY, FEB. 18.
A message was received from the President of the U. S. furnishing the information called for by a resolution of the 24th ult. relative to the expenditures on the various fortifications in the U. S. and those on the navy yards; which was referred to a committee of the whole on the state of the union.
A bill to empower George Rapp, and his associates, to purchase a tract of land was read the third time. On the question, shall the bill pass, the Yeas and Nays were called, and were Yeas 46—Nays 46.
The Speaker declaring himself to be with the nays, the bill is lost.
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 19.
The following message was received from the President of the U. S. States; To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
IN pursuance of a measure proposed to Congress by a message of Jan. 18, 1803, and sanctioned by their appropriation for carrying it into execution, Capt. Meriwether Lewis of the 1st. regiment of infantry was appointed, with a party of men, to explore the river Missouri, from its Mouth to its source, and crossing the highlands by the shortest portage, to seek the best water communication thence to the Pacific ocean; and Lieut. Clark was appointed second in command. They were to enter into conference with the Indian nations on their route with a view to the establishment of commerce with them.
They entered the Missouri May 14, 1804, and on the 1st of November, took up their winter quarters near the Mandan towns, 1809 miles above the mouth of the river, in lat. 47deg. 21m. 47sec. north, and long. 99deg. 24m. 45sec. west from Greenwich. On the 8th of April, 1805, they proceeded up the river in pursuance of the objects prescribed to them.
In order to render the statement as complete as may be, of the Indians inhabiting the country west of the Mississippi, I add Dr. Sibley's account of those residing in and adjacent to the territory of Orleans.
I communicate also from the same person, an account of the Red river, according to the best information he had been able to collect.
Having been disappointed, after considerable preparation, in the purpose of sending an exploring party up that river in the summer of 1804, it was thought best to employ the autumn of that year in procuring a knowledge of an interesting branch of the river called the Washita. This was undertaken under the direction of Mr. Dunbar of Natchez, a citizen of distinguished science, who had aided, and continues to aid us, with his disinterested and valuable services in the prosecution of these enterprises.
Feb. 19, 1806. TH: JEFFERSON.
Ordered, That 1,000 copies of the message with the accompanying communications, be printed for the use of the members.
The House took into consideration the amended bill for laying a duty of 10 dollars on every slave imported into the U. S.
Various amendments were made, when the bill was ordered to a third reading on Monday.
As the bill now stands, it provides, in case of smuggling slaves into the U. S. that the vessels in which they are brought shall be forfeited. It is silent with regard to the forfeiture or liberation of the slaves.
THURSDAY, FEB. 20.
The House resolved itself into a committee of the whole—Mr. Gregg in the chair—on a bill from the Senate, relative to the salaries of the Judges of the territory of Orleans.
Messrs. Sloan and Merriweather called for information relative to the grounds on which the proposed increase of salaries is made.
Mr. Early replied that since the organization of the territory of Orleans the President had not been able to obtain any persons properly qualified, except Mr. Prevost, who had consequently been obliged to perform all the duties of the court; that it was requisite for the judges not only to understand the laws of their own country, but likewise those of the country to whom the territory belonged previous to its cession; and in addition to this, it was necessary for them to be acquainted with the French and Spanish languages.
The committee rose and reported their agreement to the bill, which was ordered to a third reading this day.
The bill was accordingly read a third time.
Messrs. Meriwether and G. W. Campbell opposed, and Messrs. J. Clay, Clark and Nicholson supported the bill.
Mr. Conrad, moved a postponement of the bill till to-morrow.
Mr. Jackson hoped the bill would be re-committed to a select committee empowered to pass in review the salaries of all the judges of the U. S.
Mr. Rhea spoke in favor of the bill. Mr. Leib thought too much celerity should not be given to the passage of an appropriation bill.
Mr. Early spoke against the postponement. Mr. Stanton spoke against the bill.
The question was then taken on the motion to postpone which was carried—Ayes 57.
BY THE LAST MAILS.
FRANKFORT, JAN. 25.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Fort St. Stephens, (Miss. Ter.) to his friend in this place, dated Dec. 6th.
"Governor Claiborne has sent Mr. Graham, to governor Folk at Pensacola, to remonstrate on the subject of Spanish duties at Mobile. Mr. Graham, in a letter from Pensacola, dated a few days since, says "that Governor Folk, agrees to suspend the order for the payment of duties at Mobile, upon receiving official assurance that no duties shall be demanded at Orleans, on goods destined for Baton Rouge; but that he will admit of no other terms."
Mr. Graham has written to the government of the U. S. on the subject—but we are entirely at a loss to conjecture what will be the result.
"Had Spain a right to the country between the thirty first degree of latitude, and the island of Orleans; there can be no doubt but that it would be just and consistent with the spirit of our treaties with that power, that Spanish subjects passing up and down the Mississippi, with property destined to or coming from their country, and not intended to be landed in the United States, should not be burthened with duties to the American Government. But I much doubt whether the government will think it expedient indirectly to sanction the Spanish claim to Eastern Indiana, by entering into a stipulation, which though it does not expressly recognize their right—cannot be found on any other principle but that they are lawfully possessors of the country which they occupy. The determination is all important to the people residing on the waters of the Mobile, but I am satisfied that they do not wish to see the just pretensions of the nation to Eastern Louisiana, at all weakened by any arrangements which might contribute to their immediate benefit."
BOSTON, MARCH 6, 1806.
REPUBLICAN CELEBRATION
Last Tuesday being the anniversary of THE PRESIDENT'S election, was noticed in this town by appropriate celebrations. At sunrise a federal salute was fired, and was repeated at noon and at sunset. A large party of young men gave a Public Dinner at Concert Hall, in honor of the day. They were favored with the company of His Excellency Governor HULL, Judge SULLIVAN, Hon. ELBRIDGE GERRY, and many other characters of distinction.
An Address was delivered on the occasion, by Mr. JAMES T. AUSTIN, (the President of the Day) fraught with those patriotic principles which must ever be considered as the basis of our Republican institutions. It was received with the highest applause, and gave a zest to the entertainment, congenial to the feelings, not only of the young republicans present, but to
those venerable Sires who attended the celebration.
Temperance and decorum were the order of the day. The songs were appropriate to the occasion, and the toasts are expressive of that purity of sentiment which will ever characterize genuine Republicanism from spurious Federalism.
President JEFFERSON'S Inaugural Speech was read with great emphasis, by Major W. B. SULLIVAN; and received with reiterated plaudits.
The blessing of the giver of every good and perfect gift, was asked in a strain of fervent piety by the Rev. Dr. Baldwin.
The day was passed with rational hilarity, and the company separated at an early hour.
The following Toasts were drunk on the occasion, interspersed by patriotic and convivial songs:
1. THE FOURTH OF MARCH—By our celebration of this day we tell the world we love our country and will support its defenders.—9 cheers—Anniversary ode written for the occasion.
2. THE PRESIDENT of the U. STATES. "May he live
"Longer than I have time to tell his years. Ever beloved and loving may his rule be; And when OLD TIME shall bring him to his end,
"Goodness and he fill up one monument." Jefferson's march—9 cheers.
3. THE VICE-PRESIDENT and CONGRESS—May their course, like the planetary system, be governed by one common principle.—6 cheers—President's march.
4. The unalienable right of election—The test of virtue and the good sense of the American people.—6 cheers—Yankee Doodle.
5. The Constitution of the United States. Though perils should
"Abound as thick as thought could make 'em, And appear in shapes more horrid; yet
THIS, As doth a rock against the chiding flood Should the approach of this wild river break— And stand unshaken." 6 cheers—Washington's march.
6. The memory of WASHINGTON—We will express our veneration for his character, by a sacred attachment to his principles.—[At this toast the company rose and continued standing while the band played the dead march in Saul.]
7. The Secretaries, of State, of War, of the Treasury and the Navy—Talents, Honor, Integrity, Patriotism.—3 cheers.
8. The American Ministers at foreign courts—May their firmness and virtue be more than equal to the intrigues of diplomacy.—3 cheers.
9. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts—May she no longer hazard her consequence in the union by an opposition to Republican principles.—9 cheers.
10. Commercial Enterprise and Neutral Rights—If negotiation fail, may it be known that Americans have other means to protect them—6 cheers—March in the battle of Morengo.
11. NATIONAL HONOR—It is always best secured by NATIONAL JUSTICE.—3 cheers.
12. The memory of our brave countrymen who fell before Tripoli—Count length of life by deeds of glory and they have lived an age.—[At this toast the company rose, and continued standing while the band played a dirge.]
13. GENERAL EATON—The battle of Prague.

PITTSFIELD, FEB. 24, 1806.
On Tuesday last, pursuant to his sentence, was executed at Leroux, Ephraim Wheeler, for a Rape committed on his daughter Betsey Wheeler. He was taken from the Coat at 11 o'clock, and accompanied by the Sheriff and his Deputies with the customary guard of Cavalry and Infantry, moved with the greatest solemnity to the meeting-house, where a Sermon, well adapted to the occasion, was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Shepard.
The concourse of People assembled was conjectured to be not less than 5000, not 100 of which, it is believed, but would have greatly rejoiced had his punishment been commuted, and he been confined to hard labor in the States' Prison for life. The Sheriff, Col. Larned, executed the sentence of the law on the unhappy criminal at 3 o'clock, with marks of great sensibility, tenderness, and compassion. He made no confession of the crime for which he suffered; but just before he was turned off declared his innocence of it, that he had been accused wrongfully, and that he forgave his accusers and all the world and desired the Rev. Mr. Ayre, who was with him on the scaffold, to make proclamation of the same, which he did in a very pathetic manner.
A few moments before he was launched into eternity, Col. Larned, took out his Death Warrant to read to him, at which we plainly discovered that joy diffused itself over the assembly, supposing it to be a Reprieve. But ah! they were sadly undeceived! They soon found a HANCOCK was not at the head of our government; and that a Petition, which had been preferred to the Governor, signed by a large number of respectable citizens, praying that the criminal's life might be spared, and his punishment commuted to that of perpetual imprisonment to hard labor, and also by the criminal himself, was rejected, and the criminal ordered for execution!

THE ROSE.
BY MR. FOX.
The Rose, the sweetly blooming Rose, Ere from the tree its torn; As like the charms which beauty shows, In life's exulting morn. But ah! how soon its sweets are gone, How soon it withering lies! So when the eve of life comes on, Sweet beauty fades and dies. Then since the fairest form that's made, Soon withering we shall find: Let each possess what ne'er will fade,— The beauty of the mind.
INDIAN TRIBES.
THE Osages who have been lately at Washington, are represented as possessing a more enlarged intellect and a greater share of that acute sensibility which cherishes reflection, improves by observation, enlarges the reasoning faculty, and assimilates to matters of taste and elegance, than our more northern and western tribes. We have had presented to us copies of two poetical articles, which we are informed are translations as close as the similarity of two languages, and the structure of English metre will admit—we give the following as we received it: [Philadelphia Aurora.]
SONG OF THE OSAGE INDIANS, On making their visit to Washington, the seat of the National Government, in December, 1805.
SUBJECT.—Their journey to Washington to have an interview with Mr. Jefferson, President of the United States, and their satisfaction on meeting their great Father. MY comrades brave and friends of note! You hither come from lands remote, To see your grand exalted Sire And his sagacious words admire. * "The master of your life and breath" Averted accidents and death, That you might such a sight behold, In spite of hunger, foes and cold. Ye Red Men! since ye here have been, Your Great White Father ye have seen, Who cheered his children with his voice, And made their beating hearts rejoice. Thou chief of all! I fear not to come, And leave a while thy sylvan home— The path we passed is clear and free, And wide and smoother grows for thee. Whene'er to march thou feelest inclin'd, We'll form a length'ning file behind, And dauntless from our forests run To hear the talks of JEFFERSON.
* The great Spirit or Supreme Being is called by several tribes "The Master of breath, or the Master of life."
Surprising account of a Deaf Man. Samuel Waterbury, was born at Stamford, in Connecticut, August 29, 1762.—He became entirely deaf in consequence of a violent strain sixteen years ago. The first effect of the strain was blindness which lasted about two hours, accompanied with nausea at the stomach, and bleeding at the ears and mouth. These were followed with a fit of illness of four weeks, during which he had not the regular use of his senses.—Recovering from that, he found he had entirely lost his hearing. He soon became anxious to remedy the disadvantages of his situation, by first, learning with some of his friends an alphabet by touching and bending the fingers, and thus spelling words. By this expedient he was able to hold a kind of telegraphic conversation with his friends. But his ingenuity suggested the possibility of ascertaining the pronunciation of words by the motion of the lips. To practise himself in this, he took a mirror, and used to speak before it. He accurately observed the movement requisite to every sound; first learning syllables and then words. Uncertain of his success, he did not explain to his family either his intentions or his progress, till after about six months diligent study he commenced the practice, in which he has been constantly improving. And now, a person who was not informed of his particular situation, would hardly suspect that he was deaf at all; but might speak to him and receive regular answers though he hears not a single word. He cannot even hear thunder, nor the report of cannon.—Such explosions, however, jar his nerves and produce violent head ache; sometimes followed by bleeding again at the mouth.
What is most singular is, that a person may whisper in the softest manner by pressing their lips against his cheek, and he understands perfectly well what is said: and he comprehends a whisper, either directed to him, or between two persons at a distant part of the room. This account was drawn up from a conversation with him by the Rev. T. M. Harris of Dorchester, Massachusetts; in the presence of Maj. Wm. Lee, some of his neighbors, and the boarders at the Hotel, near Congress Spring, Sept. 20, 1805; near which Mr. Waterbury now resides. He is a respectable farmer, and has a wife and children. (Boston Magazine.)
NEW LANDS for Sale.
THE subscriber offers for sale, about 40,000 acres of excellent LAND, situated within six miles of the Landing in Fall-Town, on the west side of the Genesee River. This Tract is divided into Lots of about 100 acres. In order to encourage and accommodate industrious and enterprising settlers, one half of the Land, consisting of every other three hundred acres throughout the Tract, will be sold for Wheat, Pork and Neat Cattle; the Wheat and Pork to be delivered at Fall-Town Landing. The very flourishing settlement of Fairfield is within this Tract; the inhabitants in this settlement have been remarkably healthy.
Vessels of 200 tons sail from Lake Ontario up the Genesee River, to the lower falls: this place is called Fall-Town Landing, and is only six miles from the Tract now offered for sale.—A barrel of flour can now be sent from Fall-Town Landing to Montreal for one dollar, and a barrel of pot-ashes for one dollar and a half;—these prices will be reduced as the business of transportation increases. Most articles of American produce command as high prices at Montreal as at New-York.—The Intervals and Swails are timbered with Elm, Butternut, white and black Ash, Walnut &c.—the upland with Sugar Maple, Beach Basswood, Hickory, Oak and wild Cherry.
The Tract contains a number of groves of excellent white Pine timber. There are no Mountains or Ledges, nor scarcely 100 acres of waste Land in the Tract. Some of the Intervals or Flats will produce, if well cultivated, 80 bushels of Corn, 300 weight of Hemp, or 2,000 weight of Tobacco on an Acre. The price of the Land is from twenty Shillings to four Dollars per acre, payable in two, three, four and five years from the first of next June, with one year without Interest. The Lots on the state road, through Braddock's Bay Township, which will soon be established as a Turnpike, are put at four Dollars per acre; one half of these Lots also will be sold for produce payments.
The subscriber does not hesitate to say there is not a body of Land now unsettled in the state of New-York, which, in point of uniform fertility of soil, situation, good water, good timber, Mills and conveniences of roads is superior to the tract which he offers for Sale.
A Turnpike Road is completed from Albany to Canandaigua—and from Canandaigua to Hartford, on the Genesee River, and thence to Fairfield and Braddock's Bay Township, there is an excellent waggon road.
For further particulars, apply to Ebenezer MERRY, Esq. in Hartford, or to the subscriber.
The subscriber has still for Sale a number of excellent Lots of New Land, in the midst of flourishing settlements in the towns of Genesee, Harford, Bloomfield and Pittstown. Some of these Lots contain handsome improvements.
