Cure for the Jaundice. At this season of the year, when so many are afflicted with Jaundice complaints—It is a pity, that the good effects of Doctor Wheaton's Jaundice Bitters were not more generally known. They have helped in many instances, where all other remedies have failed. They are highly approved at this season of the year, to either remove that sickly, indigestive, laxity habit of the stomach and bowels, or to ward-off those complaints, common at this season, and keep all the pores of the body in their proper tone. A fresh supply of this excellent medicine is just received and for sale at the Book store of C. PEARCE, Portsmouth, price 50 cents a box. Portsmouth, September 10.

Political Miscellany.
FEDERALISM unmasked.
From the Hartford (Conn.) Mercury. MR. PRINTER,
THE influence of President Dwight in the political affairs of this State is universally known. He is a clergyman and at the head of our principal seminary of literature. These circumstances naturally place him at the head of what is called the Connecticut Church, that is, of the clerical part of the Church and State league. This is so perfectly understood that by a general tho' tacit consent the very apposite title of Pope has, long since been conferred on him. As Mr. Dwight is the chief and leader of our political clergy, and as such gives direction to their efforts; and as the combined influence of this body of political clergy is sufficient to create or to destroy at pleasure, and to which the other part of the league is obliged to bend, this Pope is, in fact, the pivot on which the politics of this State turn; or rather he is the wire worker who makes the political puppets move as best pleases him.
It may be gratifying to the admirers of this puppet show, of this Church and State league, or, in the slang of the confederacy, this combination of religion and talents, to be informed of the true political character of the great magician who directs it. It is for the purpose of giving this information that I request you to publish the following extract of a letter from a young gentleman of the senior class in Yale College, to his friend. The letter bears date 19th July, 1805. The extract is genuine; it needs no comment as it speaks, on the part of the Pope, precisely the principles that we have constantly, and truly ascribed to the party of which he is chief. The father of our Pope, it is well known, was in our revolution a Tory, and fled to the banks of the Mississippi to avoid being engaged in the contest against his beloved Britain. His son, the Pope, then pretended, though falsely, as now appears, to approve the exertions of his country to obtain an emancipation from British thralldom. In those exertions, it is true, he took no active part, and his patriotism might have been, and probably was, an expedient to prevent the confiscation of his paternal inheritance. However that may be, of his present Toryism I have in my hands sundry proofs which I intend to communicate to the public. LUTHER.
EXTRACT. "The Republicans of this College appointed an Orator and made preparations for the celebration of the 4th of July. The Pope, fearing that his character would be injured by a Republican celebration, issued a fol- "emn edict against it. He condemn- "ed the celebration of the day as ru- "inous in its consequences; and observ- "ed that in the existing state of our "country no substantial reasons could be "given for celebrating the day." "He observed to my class that he "had always thought it an unfortunate "affair that the United States sepa- "rated from Great-Britain, and that "he thought so still."
From the (Conn.) Witness. No. III.
162 vs. 14. MANY of our people have been told that if Mr. Adams had continued in the presidency, or if Mr. Pinckney had been elected all would be well. The whole amount of this will appear by a few remarks.
Mr. Adams had the aid of stamp and land tax of duties on carriages, bills, retailers and sales at auction—of an additional duty on salt and of an 8 per cent loan in addition to the principal revenue, to enable him to discharge the public debt and to defray current expenses. The weight of taxes sunk the people and raised him and his corps of aristocrats and the national debt. Like a prodigal heir to a large embarrassed estate, he seemed to be wholly employed in schemes of expense and grandeur. No increase of means was sufficient to meet his increasing demands. Army, embassies, X Y and Z farces and fat contracts with federalists at home, were great favorites under his administration; but his navy was the universal sink. That gave fair promise of securing to us, as it had done to
Britain, the national blessing of eternal debt.
Did morals or religion thrive greatly under his administration? When he went out of office were you nearer to national or personal felicity than you were, when he entered it? Had he advanced one-inch towards that condition of civil and religious liberty, to gain which your fathers and brethren sought through the revolution? If any good resulted from his administration, federalists ought not to have concealed it from the knowledge of the public.
The happiness and glory of courtiers, generals and admirals was compassed by Mr. Adams; but how infinitely variant are these from the happiness and glory of the plain, unambitious, laborious people, who compose the body of the American nation?—The question in those days was not, how the best good of the people could be compassed, but how rapidly the great men could rise above the rabble. The people of our country hated and despised such gross insults on our revolution, such palpable perversions of the principles of republicanism; but if they expressed any dislike of the great man or his measures, jails and fines were their portion.
On a careful comparison of that administration with the precepts of the gospel, we may safely conclude that they were totally opposite to each other. Smitten on one cheek, Mr. Adams returned the blow with all his might. National vengeance was as much the order of the day at his court, as at the court of St. James. He wildly imagined that the finger of Heaven pointed to war, and against France, and against the democrats.—He raised troops and got a navy and purchased the instruments of death, and set them afloat as coolly as an infidel Jacobin would have done the same things, and though he had a natural antipathy to the smell of powder, yet he was always full of fight, and his administration will be remembered only by its combustibles; for the people have taken good care to extinguish all its fiery elements.
Mr. Adams did indeed appoint a national fast-day; but it was to invoke the blessing of heaven on measures, such as heaven and all its sincere expectants always denounced. His proclamation for that occasion was an offence in the nostrils of christians; but to the courtiers in and out of the desk, to those clergy, who may be justly styled 'secular clergy' it was like a sweet-smelling favour. Here was public notice to the world that Adams and Co. and priest craft and Co. had formed a holy alliance. So the federal priests blessed Adams, and Adams praised the priests, and heaven was said to be in favor of the federal partnership.
This fast-day, famous, because alone, in the annals of federal piety, opened the eyes of many, who had been blind, and released from chains multitudes, who had been in bondage.
The federal prints are continually harping upon the disrespect which is shown us by other nations, in the capture of our vessels, impressment of our seamen, &c.—And this disrespect they attribute to the "pusillanimous" description of the present administration.—Will these wisecacres, be so condescending as to inform us, at what period since our national existence, when Europe has been in a convulsed state, we have been more free from insult and aggression than at the present?—Was not our commerce almost cut up by the roots, and innumerable instances of disrespect shown us, by foreign powers, during the Washington and Adams administrations?—And will the Feds tell us that the heroic Washington, and the rash and headstrong Adams, were "pusillanimous?"—The truth is, while the European nations are in a state of warfare, America will always be more or less disturbed, either from a spirit of jealousy in the belligerent nations, or by marauders who take advantage of the general commotion to make their fortunes by piracy and robbery. This is an evil which we cannot entirely prevent, and for which we can obtain perhaps no complete redress until a state of peace returns. To plunge headlong into war, because a seaman was impressed, or a ship captured, would be madness in the extreme—it would be throwing away millions of money after hundreds already gone—and for

criticizing the liberties and lives of thousands to obtain the release of tens. —To protect our commerce by a navy, that navy must be larger than that of the nation who insults or injures us, else it would only serve to augment their power and increase their disposition to annoy us.—And will even the Federal editors, vain and rash as they are, say we are prepared to go to the expence of building equipments, and manning a navy able to cope with the navies either of Britain, France or Spain? or rather, as we are molested by each, with all of them? [True Amer.]
THE GUN BOATS.
The federalists attacked the administration on account of these boats.—They were ridiculed and declared to be incompetent to perform any service whatever. When gun-boat No. 2 was driven on shore at Charleston in a violent hurricane, the affair was spoken of in raptures; every where we heard a story of the boat being in a "corn field." When also it was known that the administration had determined to send the boats across the Atlantic to attack Tripoly, every means was made use of to discourage the officers and seamen from embarking in them; but the officers took charge of the boats, and the seamen volunteered notwithstanding, and the boats failed to chastise the pirates of Tripoly. The passage over the Atlantic was performed in perfect safety; the boats behaved well, and made as good weather as the frigate "Adams." They arrived (eight in number) at Gibraltar in 30 days passage, (few vessels perform it in that time) and immediately proceeded for Tripoly. At Gibraltar they have been pronounced the best gun-boats ever seen at that place. The English officers speak of them in the highest terms of praise, and the Lieutenants who command them declare they should have no objection to circumnavigating the globe in any of them. Yet these are the vessels so highly condemned by the federalists, and so often declared " unfit for use ." If peace had not been concluded with Tripoly, we should have seen whether they were fit for use or not. A dozen of these boats would perhaps have rendered greater service in the intended attack on Tripoly and its marine force, than an equal number of frigates. This was so well understood, that some of our officers lately declared in the Mediterranean, " without gun-boats Tripoly could not be attacked with advantage ." Had the gun-boats unfortunately been sunk in crossing the Atlantic, we make no doubt there would have been found some federalists degenerate and base enough to have rejoiced at the misfortune. It makes little difference to the leaders of the opposition whether their papers tell the truth or not; whether a libel is printed against the government; whether a peace is procured on honorable or dishonorable conditions; whether our commerce is depreciated upon or not; or whether the gun-boats sink or swim—every thing is to be attacked, right or wrong. Facts are to be distorted, and falsehoods are to be dressed out in the habiliments of truth. The people are intended to be deceived by their statements. Proceed federalists—you are working out your own condemnation. Say what you please against the gun-boats or the administration, against republican principles or measures—your schemes will end in your own disgrace. You cannot much longer deceive the enlightened people of America.

BY THE LAST MAILS.
BALTIMORE, SEPT. 11.
OFFICIAL.
PRELIMINARIES of peace with Tripoly were signed on the 2d of June last, and on the same day capt. Bainbridge, the officers and crew of the late frigate Philadelphia, were liberated.
The following is an extract of a letter from commodore* Rodgers, to the secretary of the navy, dated
U. S. SHIP CONSTITUTION, June 8, 1805.
"The bathaw, conscious that by a continuance of his obstinacy, his town would fall a sacrifice to our forces, in the course of this summer, proposed to us terms of peace, which left us no interest or motive in not acceding to them as he acknowledged that he felt sensible our efforts would be sufficient to reduce his town and oblige him to retire to the mountains. This acknowledgment at once precluded the possibility of acquiring any honor by our arms; but indeed the reverse, as it would have been persecuting an enemy, who, in anticipation of our vengeance, by his own acknowledgment, felt himself more than half vanquished.
* Commodore Barron owing to the debility of his constitution, was constrained to resign the command of the squadron to commodore Rodgers, on the 22d of May.
and who perhaps in his savage perturbation, might have carried his resentment to the sacrifice of 300 of our unfortunate countrymen, whom chance had placed in his power."
The following is a copy of a letter from capt. Hull, of the Argus, to commodore Barron, dated
"ARGUS, (DERNE) April 28."
"SIR, I have the honor to inform you, that at 9 o'clock in the morning of the 27th being about ten miles to the eastward of the town of Derne, with the Hornet in company, we discovered the Nautilus at anchor, very close to the shore, which led us to suppose that capt. Dent had fallen in with Mr. Eaton's army, as he had been sent on shore for that purpose the day before. We made all sail for the Nautilus, and at half past 10, spoke her, and was informed by capt. Dent, that he had had communication with Mr. Eaton the night before, and that he wished the field pieces landed as soon as possible, that Mr. Eaton intended to make an attack as soon as he could get possession of them, being then only about two and a half miles from the town of Derne, and the enemy having sent him a challenge. I hoisted out our boats, and sent the field pieces on shore, with such supplies as Mr. Eaton wanted; but on approaching the shore we found it was impossible to land the guns, without hauling them up an almost perpendicular rock 20 feet above the boat, but with the perseverance of the officers and men sent on this service, they effected the landing of one of them, by hauling it up the steep rock. Mr. Eaton finding that we should lose time in landing the other, he sent it off again, informing me that he should march for the town as soon as he could possibly mount the field piece, that he had on shore—I gave lieut. Evans orders to stand close in shore to cover the army whilst they were preparing to march in case the enemy should come out against them as they had already made their appearance in large numbers outside of the town. I gave orders for the necessary preparations to be made for the attack by sea upon the town and batteries and stood down very close to the town.
"At 2 P. M. Mr. Eaton began the attack by land, at the same time the Hornet, lieut. Evans anchored with springs on her cables within 100 yards of the battery of 3 guns and commenced a heavy fire upon it, the Nautilus took her station to the eastward of the Hornet, about half a mile distant from the shore, and opened upon the town and batteries; the Argus anchored a little without, and to the eastward of the Nautilus, and began firing on the town and batteries. The fire kept up a heavy fire for about an hour, after which the shot flying so thick about them, they abandoned it, and ran into the town and gardens back; the guns of the vessels were then turned on the beach, and kept up a heavy fire upon the enemy, to clear the way for the few brave Christians Mr. Eaton had with him, to enter the fort, as they were gaining ground very fast, though a heavy fire of musketry was constantly kept up upon them, from behind the houses and old walls near the shore.
"About half past 3 we had the satisfaction to see lieut. O'Bannen of the marine corps and Mr. Mann, midshipman of the Argus, with a few brave fellows with them, enter the fort and haul down the enemy's flag, and planted the American ensign on the walls of the battery. On turning the guns of the battery on the town, they found that the enemy had left them in great haste, as they were primed and loaded at their hands. Whilst our men were turning the guns of the battery on the town, Hamet Bathaw had taken possession of the back part of it, which brought the enemy betwixt two fires, that soon silenced them, and about 4 in the afternoon we had complete possession of the town and fort; sent all our boats on shore for the purpose of carrying ammunition to the fort and to bring off the wounded men, as soon as possible, that they might be dressed. Mr. Eaton gave the necessary orders at the fort and went into the town to see every thing quiet and to make arrangements for its being well guarded, during the night. At half past five he returned on board, to get his wound dressed, having received a musket ball through his left wrist. On collecting our men we found one killed and 13 wounded—a list of which is inclosed.
I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient humble serv't. (Signed) ISAAC HULL."

The following is an Extract of a letter from Commodore Barron to William Eaton, Esq. dated
MALTA, March 22, 1805.
"You must be sensible that in giving their sanction to a co-operation with the Ex-Bathaw, Government did not contemplate the measure as leading necessarily and absolutely to a reinstatement of that Prince in his rights to the Regency of Tripoly: They appear to have viewed the co-operation as a means, which, if there existed Energy and Enterprize in the exile, and attachment to his person on the part of his former subjects might be employed to the common furtherance and advantage of his claims and our cause, but without meaning to fetter themselves by any specific or definite attainment as an end, which the tenor of my Instructions, and the limited sum appropriated for that special purpose clearly demonstrates. I fear by the convention you seem to think of making with Hamet, that a wider range would be taken than is consistent with the powers vested in me for that particular object. These apprehensions may perhaps prove groundless on further representations from you, but under present impressions I feel it my duty to state explicitly, that I must withhold my sanction to any convention or agreement, committing the U. States or tending to impress upon Hamet Bathaw, a conviction that we have bound ourselves to place him upon the Throne.
The consequences involved in such an engagement cannot but strike you forcibly; and a general view of our situation in relation to the reigning Bathaw and our unfortunate countrymen in Tripoly, will be sufficient to mark its inexpediency. I shall consider it my duty, as it is certainly my inclination, to afford you every aid compatible with the authority vested in me and commensurate with the means that have been placed at my disposal; and you may rely upon the most active and vigorous support from the squadron, as soon as the season and our arrangements will permit us to appear in force before the enemy's walls; but I wish you to understand that no guarantee or engagement to the exiled Prince, whose cause I must repeat we are only favoring as an instrument to our advantage, and not as an end in itself, must be held to stand in the way of our acquaintance to any honorable and advantageous terms of accommodation with the reigning Bathaw may be induced to propose. These terms being once offered and accepted by the representative of government appointed to treat of peace, our support to the Ex-Bathaw must necessarily cease. You will not however conceive, fir, that these considerations, important and necessary as they are, ought to induce us at once to abandon the benefits which the measures you have adopted seem to promise. I conceive a perseverance in them by no means incompatible with a total freedom for any tracts with respect to a definitive object, which freedom I deem it all important to preserve, especially when I view the peculiar situation in which Capt. Bainbridge and his fellow sufferers may be placed by this co-operation. If by your energy and exertions, added to the supplies now sent forward, you succeed in getting possession of Derne and Bengaze, we may calculate that having received this impulse from our strength, the Ex-Bathaw will himself possess sufficient energy, courage and talent, and if accounts are correct, sufficient interest among the people to move on with firm steps, and to conduct his friends and followers to the gates of Tripoly, but should he be found deficient in these essential qualities, or that it appears we have been deceived in regard to the disposition of the inhabitants, he must be held as an unfit subject for further support or co-operation."
NEW-YORK, SEPTEMBER 14.
A letter from St. Sebastians, dated August 10th, says, "The Combined fleets arrived at Vigo, on the 30th July after chasing and engaging the British fleet of 16 sail of the line, under the command of Admiral Calder. Of the former, two Spanish ships were missing when the fleet entered Vigo, but they arrived there on the day following."
The ship Serpent, Capt. Hayes and the sch. Surarrow, Capt. Frost, both from Baltimore, for Guadalupe and Martinique, have been captured by the British sloop of war Hippomone, and sent into St. John, Antigua. The trial came on the 11th August, the schooner and cargo were condemned, only Mr. Bacon's part of the ship's cargo was condemned, the remainder together with the ship was liberated; the plea for condemnation is, that no British subject, although he may have lived 30 years in America, and be entitled to all the privileges of an American citizen, if he be found trading and supplying the enemies of the British Crown with provisions, &c. his property in that case is considered
as a good and lawful prize; for they say that no British born subject is allowed to throw off his allegiance to the Crown of Great Britain; and all British subjects, though American citizens, that are found trading with the enemies of England, their property will be condemned to all intents and purposes."
SALEM, SEPT. 17.
Bloody Scenes at Algiers.
Capt. Shillaber, from Leghorn, informs us, that on the 7th July, a brig arrived there from Algiers, and bro't accounts of an insurrection at that place, and that the Dey had beheaded 400 Jews. One Jewish family made their escape in the brig.
A letter from Capt. Williams, at Leghorn, to the Editor of the Salem Gazette, gives the following particulars of this event;—
"Leghorn, July 8, 1805
"Yesterday arrived here an Imperial brig, in five days from Algiers—She informs, that that country was in dreadful confusion—that the Bedouin Arabs, said to be headed by a Frenchman, had revolted and marched towards Algiers—that the Dey, on their approach detached 7000 troops to attack them, but that these, after a desperate battle, were defeated, and cut off to a man—that the Arabs then rushed to the city which they successfully attacked, and had taken a principal fort—that another attempt had been made to assassinate the Dey, he having received several stabs, and said to be mortally wounded—that he had cut off 400 of the richest Jews heads, and that the bloody work was still going on when the vessel left the place. There were at this time three vessels at Algiers, a ragusan, an Imperialist, and a Swede, who all cut their cables, and run away from the port, permitting as many Jews to come as could get on board.—The Brig that has now arrived has 100 on board, and it is expected the Swede has at least 200 more.—Such is the news at Leghorn.
"The Algerines have a squadron now at sea, consisting of seven sail; they passed in sight of this port 18 days since, and were off Civita Vecchia 4 days since. They consist of a stout frigate of 44 guns, built at Algiers, a few years since; another frigate of 44 guns, taken from the Portuguese six months since; the Crescent, of 32 guns, a present from the United States; 2 polacres, lately purchased from the Greeks, one of which mounts 26 guns, the other 18; the fine brig Bathaw, of 22 guns, a present also from the United States; and a chebec.
"We have heard of several of the American Gun Boats passing Gibraltar, but not of their arrival at Malta."
BOSTON, SEPT. 19.
Our ransomed countrymen, we learn, sailed from Gibraltar, for home, the 3d August, in the President frigate of 44 guns Capt. Barron. Their arrival may be hourly expected.
Capt. Shillaber, from Leghorn, informs that the Spanish gun-boats assail all American vessels which pass the Straights. One of them, he says, paid dearly for an attack upon one of the U. S. Ketches, which gave her the contents of a broadside for her officiousness.
Quarantine. Owing to numerous false reports in Europe—their ignorance of American geography—and the want of an established correspondence between the Boards of Health, in the two hemispheres; American vessels, from healthy as well as sick ports, are forced to perform a long and vexatious quarantine in various European ports.—At Leghorn, all vessels from America, 40 days.

The brig Jane, Kennedy, from Jersey, for Baltimore, carrying 16 guns and 54 men, has been captured by a French privateer of 4 guns, and 84 men, called the Bien Amie, after an action of 2 1/2 hours. Capt. K. his mate, and 33 men, were killed, and 8 wounded; the privateer had 3 men killed, and 10 wounded.
Arrived, at Salem, brig Decatur, Jones, of Bath, dismasted.—In her came, a sailor, named Gridley Lovis, who says he belongs to Hingham, and was impressed from the brig Hannah, of Newburyport; by the British sloop of war Indian, Capt. Austin from Halifax.—When the Indian sailed from Halifax, Lovis says, she had but 35 men; but during the time he was on board (one month) there were Americans, and others, pressed on board to make 135—of which 60 were impressed Americans; and that he saw as many as thirty seamen's protections taken from Americans, torn up, and they and their country "damned." The Indian had in tow the ship "Ocean," from England, where she had been carried in, tried, and cleared; but Capt. Austin said he would carry her to Halifax, where he knew she would be condemned.
Arrived at Salem, on Sunday, full Prince, B. Shillaber, from Leghorn and Gibraltar. "Capt. Shillaber had the misfortune to suffer from that system of tyranny which the British seem now to have adopted towards the commerce of this country. On the 10th inst. in lat. 42, 36, lon. 65, he was boarded by a boat from his Britannic Majesty's schooner Whiting, of 10 guns, commanded by Lieut. Ockney. The officer, on boarding, called his people abaft, to examine their protections, and after he had done, impressed Peter Brant, one of his seamen, a subject of Sweden, and having also a regular clearance from a British man of war; and then called his cook, Quee Godthall, of Salem, who was a bounden servant, and whose indentures were flown to him; but the officer pretended they were of no validity, because they were wholly in writing, and not filled up on a printed blank. These two persons, notwithstanding all Capt. S. could say, were taken from him. He then went on board the schooner, and asked the commander whether he meant to keep his men? to which he answered yes. He asked whether he had not seen the cook's indentures. He replied, that he had seen a piece of paper; but that he should take every person he found without a regular protection, whether they were bound as apprentices, and had indentures, or not. The officer also told him, they should impress all the fishermen they fell in with, who were without protections; and that they had taken a number out of fishing vessels.
June 5, in lat. 35, 50, lon. 13, was fallen in with the brig Maria, of Boston, both masts gone, full of water, loaded with lumber, no persons on board.
The following article from the N. York Gazette, contains information too interesting to the commercial community to be passed by unnoticed:
"The British ship Leander, and the frigate La Ville de Milan, from Halifax, are gone to cruise off the mouth of the Delaware—and probably another ship or two will be stationed off the Chesapeake. The principal ports of the U. States will then be in a complete state of blockade. The ships of war at Sandy Hook, we are informed, board all vessels bound in or out.
Not a mail reaches us from New-York which does not contain an account of the detention or plunder of American vessels, by these licenced pirates. This morning's papers tell us, that another ship and a brig have been ordered to that sink of robbery, Halifax; and these outrages are committed in sight of the light house.
Three or four days ago, the Cleopatra and Cambrian rose from a Belfast ship, 18 passengers; from a Liverpool vessel several hands; and like the dealers in human flesh, force them to an employment diabolical in its nature, and sinful in those engaged in it.
The parties interested in the Ocean, a vessel which the Cambrian, that upright pirate, borrowed, have been called together at New-York—to consult upon some mode of recovering, if possible, their property from a gang of lawless thieves.
Every man of feeling, and who desires justice, reprobated the robberies of the unauthorised French skiffs off Charleston—pirates they are, and as such ought to be treated—but 40 to 50 gun vessels sailing by the authority of the British admiralty, are stationed by the express command of that government, to enslave our citizens, and those who miserable as they have fled to this country as a place of refuge in distress; to pilfer our merchants; and to shackle and derange our commercial transactions.
On this subject there can be no party—all must agree and the quantum of criminality is so much greater in the British vessels, because they are professed vessels of war acting by the direction of the government to which they belong.
But it seems this plundering business off New-York is so profitable, that others are to be engaged in the same nefarious practices—a 50 gun ship and a frigate are to guard the Delaware.
It would be an advantage to us, if a gale of wind were to dismast the whole squadron, and if the men's lives were saved to founder and sink them. This additional armament which it appears is to extend to the Chesapeake Bay, will lay the trade of this country under such restrictions as to render it unsafe for an American bottom to go out or to venture into port—and this is the object in view—to embarrass the vessels of the United States as to make it necessary to ship our produce and receive our importations in British vessels.
Presuming that the information from New-York is correct—ought not a meeting of the merchants, and all interested to be called—to consider what measures would most surely promote the safety of our trade.

PORTSMOUTH,  TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1805.  CARTHAGENA FLEET. Capt. Cazeau, arrived at New York, from Cadiz, reports that he left there the 5th August, when signals were hoisted for the Carthagena Spanish fleet of eight sail of the line being in sight; and that six sail of the line dropped down to join them On the 6th, Capt. Cazeau heard a heavy cannonading.  ANOTHER FRENCH FLEET. Capt. Hartwell, arrived at Philadelphia, from Bordeaux, informs that on the 16th August, lat. 44, 10, lon. 15, 30, he fell in with a French fleet of 33 sail, and was boarded from the Admiral.—At same time, saw to the southward an English letter of marque on fire, which the fleet had taken.—When Capt. H. left the fleet it was steering W. S. W. under a heavy press of sail.  Accounts from St. Barts, state, the British to have evacuated the Dutch island of Curacoa.  The United States frigate President, Capt. Barron, of 44 guns, has arrived in Hampton Roads, from the Mediterranean.  From a London Paper of July 24, 1805. "The Americans, to their infinite honor, have triumphed over that petty African tyranny to which the several states of Europe have so long submitted, and supported by their inglorious and impolite subsidies. We on Saturday received accounts from Messina, dated the first of June, which communicate the following interesting intelligence:—Col. Eaton having landed with a body of marines, &c. from the American squadron in Egypt, advanced into the Tripolitan territory; and after some severe contests, in which he was wounded in the arm by a musket ball, and in which many of his people fell, he carried Derna and Benghazi by assault. The Tripolitans, alarmed at this success, immediately made overtures of peace, proposing to liberate Captain Bainbridge and the people of the Philadelphia, &c. Col. Lear is gone to Tripoli in the Essex frigate, to negotiate with the bashaw; and the Constitution and Vixen have been sent to Tunis to enforce, on the Bey a better observance of peace than he has of late seemed disposed to adopt."  Of Tripoli. —It will be seen by the official dispatches which we this day publish, that the United States were not pledged to Hamet Bashaw, to reinstate him in his right to the regency of Tripoli. This must have been clearly understood by Gen. Eaton, who was informed by Com. Barron, in March last, how far he could co-operate in support of the claims of the Ex-Bashaw. It is probable that after the treaty, Hamet Bashaw abandoned the design of regaining the throne; as it is reported that he was with General Eaton on board the American squadron at Malta. The frigate President, Com. Barron, sailed on the 8th of August from Gibraltar, with our late captive citizens, who may be daily expected to arrive in the United States.  The Salem Gazette says—"the impression made by the American arms in the Mediterranean is flattering to our national pride. Had not the treaty with Tripoli prevented, that city, invested both by sea and land, would probably have fallen before American valor. The name of PASSA is will long be remembered by the Barbaryans with respect. The Bashaw of Tripoli is said to have expressed a strong desire, after the treaty, to see him; observing, that he had seen English, French and Spanish commanders—but that his curiosity to see him was proportionably greater, as he had in his exploits exceeded them all."  Republicanism favorable to Literature. It is a fact worthy of observation, that for ten years past, the government of Dartmouth College have been petitioning the legislature of N. Hampshire, in vain, for pecuniary aid; but no sooner is Governor Langdon placed in the chair, than that institution is patronized; and, seconded by his exertion, the patriotic legislature have made a grant towards its support, which will do honor to their memories. [Chronicle.]  Arrangements are making to institute a University, in the territory of New Orleans.

MALIGNANT FEVER.  PHILADELPHIA. The accounts in our last, of the state of the fever at Philadelphia, included the 9th inst. On the 10th, thirty new cases were reported. On the 11th, fifteen new cases, and that the interments in the last 24 hours, were 22 adults, and 6 children. On the 12th, thirty new cases in Southwark, and five in the city. Died at the Hospital two. Interments last 24 hours 15.—On the 14th there were 12 new cases in Southwark, and seven in the city. There had been admitted into the hospital, during the last 24 hours, nine; died four; and there remained in the hospital 50—of whom 18 were convalescent.—Interments 8. On the 15th and 16th, thirty-three new cases in Southwark; and nine in the city and Northern Liberties. Admitted into the hospital the last 48 hours, eleven; died 11.—Remaining 42—15 convalescent. Interments last 48 hours, 26. We do not find that any considerable removals have been made. The business of the city was as active as usual; and the Custom-house we learn, had not ceased to give clean bills of health.
NEW-YORK. In our last, the returns included the 9th inst. On the 10th, twenty-nine new cases, and three deaths. On the 11th, twelve new cases, and 7 deaths. On the 12th, 23 new cases, 4 deaths. On the 13th, 11 new cases, 3 deaths. On the 14th, 13 new cases, 13 deaths. On the 15th, 15 new cases, 9 deaths. On the 16th, 18 new cases, 9 deaths. On the 17th, 14 new cases, 7 deaths. The Board of Health have announced, that the fever being now ascertained to be prevalent, no removal of the sick would be enforced.—Every precaution had been taken to guard the city against fire; and every provision made for the comfort and care of the indigent sick. A decided opinion has been formed, that the principal seat of the prevailing disease is that part of the city included between Burling-slip and Old slip, as far west as Pearl-street; about thirty-three acres:—Strict orders for the entire evacuation of which have been given.  A gentleman from New-York, which place he left on Friday 13th inst. has reported at the Health Office, that the number of cases of the malignant fever had much increased, and the disease was very fatal; that 50,000 persons, it was computed, had left the city, being nearly all that could afford to leave it; and that the principal part of those who remained, were poor mechanics, small grocers, draymen, and blacks: That from Greenwicht (in the suburbs) across to Broadway, tents were erected, forming a street for the reception of persons and goods, which tents were nearly all occupied, supposed by about 10,000 people; that 60 wagons and most of the drays were employed in moving goods; that the roads were crowded with men, women, and children, mostly on foot, flying from the city; that some cases had followed the fugitives to Greenwicht; that the rich and middling people conducted towards the poor with a liberality and benevolence honorable to humanity; so that their situation as respects subsistence was provided for.

Thursday last the Gilman Blues, commanded by Capt. Samuel Larkin, made their third public appearance this season, they performed a variety of novel manouvers with an exactness and spirit, which reflected the greatest honor on themselves and gave the highest gratification to numerous spectators. We are happy to see that the unprecedented attention of the officers is fully and amply repaid by the order and regularity that pervades the ranks. RIGHT DRESS!  The first company of Militia under command of Capt.

PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given, that Joseph Kimball and others, inhabitants of the township of WHITEFIELD in said State, have petitioned the General Court, representing "that the roads in said town are very bad, or in other words none at all; that the proprietors about three years ago, laid out a road from Lancaster to Bethelham, nearly on one point, and through land too bad to be continued, and bush'd out said road, not a slough crossed;—and all the road that is open in said town, is from the inhabitants of Whitefield to Bethelham, and that done by the inhabitants of Whitefield, without the assistance of the proprietors." Wherefore they pray that the Legislature would grant a special tax of four cents per acre, on all the lands in Whitefield, (public lands excepted,) to be laid out on highways.  ORDERED by the Court, That the petitioners be heard on their petition before the General Court, on the first Tuesday of their next session, and that they cause that the substance of the petition and order of Court thereon, be published in the New-Hampshire Gazette, three weeks successively, the last publication to be six weeks prior to said hearing, that any person or persons may then appear, and shew cause, (if any they have) why the prayer may not be granted. ARREST, JOHN A. HARPER, Clerk of the Senate. Concord, June 17, 1805.

(From the Weekly Wanderer.)
[The 'pleasing melancholy' of the following Ranzas, by a captive Seaman in Tripoli, leaves an impression on the mind of the reader, difficult to describe—every sentence of which speaks a refinement of sentiment, an elevation of mind, and a poetic talent, far above the ordinary bent of men of his profession.]
COLUMBIA! tho' immortal fame Thy freedom through the world proclaim, And hell-born tyrants, dread the name, That will all nations free; Remote on Barb'ry's pirate coast, By foes ensnag'd—a miscreant host— No more the rights of man we boast; Adieu blest Liberty!
How fearful lower'd the gloomy day, When stranded on the shoals we lay, Expos'd, our foremast cut away, To the rough dashing sea; When hostile gun-boats blaz'd around, And no relief or hope were found, Those mournful words swell'd ev'ry sound, Adieu blest Liberty!
In helpless servitude, forsaken, From country, friends, and freedom, torn, Alike we dread each night and morn, For naught but grief we see; When burthens press, the lash we bear, And all around is black despair, We breathe the silent fervent prayer, Oh! come sweet liberty!
Mem'ry to mis'ry more unkind, Brings present to the painful mind The woes oblivion else would find, And evils cease to be; And fancy, when we're wrapt in sleep, Conveys us o'er the boundless deep; But wake to sigh, we live to weep; Adieu blest Liberty!
And when invading cannon roar, And streaming blood from hundreds pour, And mangled bodies float on shore, And ruins strew the sea; The thoughts of death or freedom near, Create alternate hope and fear; Oh, when will that blest day appear, That brings sweet Liberty!
AMUSING.
A curious Combat.
Two gentlemen of high birth, the one a Spaniard, and the other a German, having rendered Maximilian II many great services, they each, for recompence, demanded his natural daughter, Helena Schasquinn, in marriage. The Prince, who entertained equal respect for them both, could not give either the preference; and after much delay he told them, that from the claims they both had to his attention and regard, he could not give assent for either of them to marry his daughter, and they must decide it by their own power and address; but as he did not wish to risk the loss of either, or both, by suffering them to fight with offensive weapons, he had ordered a large bag to be bro't, and he who was successful enough to put his rival in it should obtain his daughter.
This strange combat between two gentlemen was in presence of the whole imperial court, and lasted near an hour. At length the Spaniard yielded and the German Andre Elhard, Baron of Tethert, when he had got him in the bag, took him on his back, and placed him at the Emperor's feet, and on the following day he married the beautiful Helena.
A violent dispute is said to have arisen between the lawyers and the tailors, owing to the practice that has now crept in among the latter, of carrying their works in bags exactly similar in make and color to the bags the former carry down to Westminster Hall. The lawyers plead ancient custom in favor of an exclusive privilege; the tailors set up modern usage. The Legal Gentlemen say that theirs is a profession of eminence, and of great utility to the community; the Sons of the Sheers insist upon it that their pursuits are much more calculated to improve the habits of men of all descriptions. The Lawyers further urge, that it is by their professional exertions men are covered from the attempts of fraud; The Tailors rejoin that they do much more for their cover men's backs. [Lon. Pap.]

THE Racy clouds of the morning were now streaked with nature's richest vermilion; the sun was just lifting his radiant head above the stately trees of the forest, the feathered Handels of nature sung with their sweetest carols, and the universe had borrowed the robes of May, when Sylvia, more beautiful than Diana, walked out to feed the chickens.
A rare situation.—A person advertising for a country house, thus concludes—"If no bounds within ten miles, and no attorney within twenty, the more agreeable."
THREE convenient BRICK HOUSES , finished off in a genteel manner, each having a good cellar, with or without Stores, or two Stores without Houses; to be let on reasonable terms. For particulars, inquire of NEIL MINTIRE . Portsmouth, August 13, 1805.
