PORTSMOUTH: Published by JOHN MELCHER, at his Office in Market-Street, where Advertisements, Articles of Intelligence, &c. are thankfully received and carefully inserted—This Paper contains all the Laws of the State passed since January 1787.
Extracts from a letter written by the Reverend Mr. John Thayer, to his brother, in answer to some objections, &c.
(Continued from our last.)
I WAS then founded on reason and scripture, and not merely, as you say, "on the legends of our Church," when I said, that the Pope, with the majority of our Bishops, are directed by the Spirit to decide what we are to believe; for it is as public and incontestable a fact that the Pope is the successor of St. Peter, and that the other Bishops are successors of the other Apostles, as that Lewis XVI. is successor of St. Lewis.—Again all kinds of reasons persuade that Christ's Church ought to be infallible. Christ declares "that he that hears her, hears himself." He commands us to obey her, under pain of "being regarded as heathens." God surely cannot order us to obey one that is capable of teaching us damnable errors; otherwise he would be himself the author of them.—Besides why did God establish the Church? "In order" says St. Paul, Ephes. iv. 14. "that we may not be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine;" i. e. that we may not be ever in doubt. But you Protestants can you ever be free from doubts? This is impossible, since you have no infallible authority to settle them. However a visible and infallible authority distinct from scripture, (which is the law) is absolutely necessary to decide the contentions that arise among Christians. Where this authority is not admitted, there is no fixed rule, no invariable articles of faith. The proof of this is the increasing multitude of sects among you, which frequently end in Socinianism, Deism, &c. But what is the most palpable demonstration of what I advance is, the late alteration that those of the Church of England among you have made in the articles of faith. What are articles of faith? They are eternal truths revealed by God, and founded on his veracity: As the divine veracity is unchangeable, the truths that depend on it must remain the same; for "heaven and earth will pass away before one of God's words shall fail," and therefore it is not only absurd but impious to attempt to change them, since this is making God a liar.—Experience then proves, that you need an infallible judge. Nor can you reply that the bible is this unerring judge; for the bible is the law; it is a mute book, and the subject of dispute: we need a sovereign and visible judge to declare who is right and who is wrong. I repeat it, the bible cannot be this judge; for without the decision of the Church, we must always have some of these doubts: 1. Whether the bible that we have be genuine and canonical; 2. Whether it be entire and unaltered. This second doubt is reasonably founded on the various readings of different manuscripts; 3. Whether it be faithfully translated; and 4. What is the most important, Whether we have ascertained its true meaning. Amid so many doubts and incertitudes, where can be the certitude of faith? Yet our faith ought to be so firm & unshaken, that we should be ready, like the Martyrs, to die in its defence; otherwise we are unworthy of Christ and of the name of Christians. We Catholicks can have none of these incertitudes, because we submit to the Church which we believe to be infallible,—Further, what evinces the necessity of an infallible Church is, that such a one alone is adapted to the bulk of mankind. Is not God, according to St. Paul, "the Saviour of all men:" Does he not
will and even shew the tenderest solicitude for the salvation of children of the poor and ignorant? Are the poor artizans and labourers, who are occupied by the cares of life; and women who do not apply to study: are they, I say, capable of that eternal discussion and examination which your principles demand? No, for this the longest life of the most learned would not suffice. This article of the infallibility of the Church once established, a Christian's doubts immediately vanish; for if once sure that God cannot permit the Church to deceive me, from that moment I am obliged in conscience to receive all her decisions, even in things that appear the most incredible to reason.—The first consequence deducible from the Churches infallibility is, that she has never erred, and that Luther, Calvin, &c. who have pretended it, have made Christ a liar, who has declared, Matt. xvi. 18. "that the gates of Hell shall not prevail against his Church." Now if error has infected her, the gates of Hell have prevailed and Christ has not fulfilled his promise.—The second consequence is, that all those, that knowingly and wilfully follow those pretending Reformers are in evident danger of eternal ruin. Those persons can never give a satisfying answer to the following arguments: In Luther and Calvin's time, either the Romish Church was Christ's true spouse, or some other society was so; or else, Christ's true Church had ceased. If the Romish society was at that time Christ's Church, no one could separate from it without risking his salvation, since there is no salvation for those that are separated from Christ: If any other society was then Christ's true Church, they were obliged to join it under pain of damnation: If they say that Christ's Church has ceased, they make Christ a liar, who has promised its perpetual duration in spite of all the rage of earth and hell.
4. What I have said on Infallibility will give you a just idea of what we mean by Tradition , which the Protestants so greatly misrepresent. By this word we mean nothing else than the general, unanimous and constant testimony of the Church of all ages about the truths revealed by Christ.
5. To shew you the necessity of a supreme authority in the Church, in order to decide all contests that arise, I reminded you that there was never yet in the world any state which had not its high tribunal from which there is no appeal. This you allow to be necessary in all civil governments, to prevent anarchy and confusion, but you add "that there is no parity between civil and religious societies:" I wish that you had pointed out the difference: for both are bodies of men, i. e. of beings governed by reason and passions; and taking men as they are, (for it is not a question of an imaginary order of things) there is no other means of forming any kind of society than that of authority and submission. Law and subordination are absolutely necessary without which there can be no union, & each will do what he pleases. All the individuals will be to many members separated and dispersed, that will no longer form a body. It is true that ecclesiastical laws must be different from civil ones, in this sense, that the one oblige the mind, and the other the body; the one impose spiritual pains, and the other corporal ones. The end proposed by these two societies is also different: that of the first is the good of the soul: that of the second is the good of the body: but still both are visible societies composed of men;
and consequently it is absurd to pretend to form a Church without imposing laws on the mind, as to pretend to form a state without imposing laws on the body. This absurdity is so manifest, that there has never yet been among you or elsewhere, any ecclesiastical body, that has not imposed some sort of laws on the minds of its members.
6. You say, that "we are accountable to none but God for our belief;" and intimate, that you think all religions equally conduct to salvation. This opinion is the necessary appendix to the Protestant principles. If the compass of a letter would permit, I would set fully before your eyes the horrid consequences of this dreadful principle. I could demonstrate, that it tends directly not only to introduce all Christian sects, but Mahometanism Deism, and even Atheism, and consequently that it tends to overturn entirely the Christian Religion, which Christ has established at the expense of all his blood. Is it possible that the Son of God could have descended from heaven to establish such an indifference of Religion? Is it consistent with the infinite wisdom of God to act thus entirely in vain? By this system you accuse the Apostles, the Apostolick men, and all the Martyrs, of the greatest imaginary folly, for having suffered and died to establish a Religion that was useless, since men could be saved without it. Are not these few reflections capable of giving horror for this system, to one that still retain the smallest spark of faith, and respect for the Gospel of our adorable Jesus? Consider this horrible precipice on which you hang, and that in consequences of Protestant principles, and shudder at your danger.
7. If the reasons, by which I have endeavoured to defend our Religion, convince you of its truth, do not blush to own it openly and boldly. It is noble to confess and correct an error. Besides, your error, if you do not make it personal by a wilful adherence to it after it is known to be such, is rather the fault of your education than yours. Remember that Christ threatens to renounce before the assembled universe, those who refuse to confess him before men.
8. Let me mention to you a strong presumption, that ours is the only true Religion, viz. that it is the only one which inspires the most heroic sacrifices. I have seen, and often see, persons of the first rank in life, delicate Ladies, &c. renounce all the pleasures, riches and honours of this world, and devote themselves, some to serve the sick and dying in infected hospitals, others to the most rigorous penitence in convents. Among these last holds the first rank Madame Louisa, Aunt to the present King of France. She was the darling daughter of Lewis XV. She quitted the most brilliant Court of Europe in the bloom of youth; and entered the order of the Carmelites, among whom are practised the most excessive austerities. There she performs the vilest offices among the Nuns her Sisters; and all this to honour and imitate the humility of her divine Master Jesus, who though Lord of all "took on himself the form of a slave, and became obedient even to the death of the Cross." She has assured me with her own mouth, that she never tasted, amid the pleasures of the world, any of those pure delights that she now tastes amidst the poverty, penitence, obedience and humiliations of a Cloister.
9. My dear Brother, when I compare this text of St. Paul, "One
faith," with that other of the same Apostle, "Without faith it is impossible to please God," and consequently to be saved; I feel the most lively grief on account of that eternal separation which must take place between us; if one or the other does not change his Religion; for there can be but one of us in the right, since your faith is entirely opposite:—I conjure you to reflect seriously on what I have written, and to demand God's light to guide you.—I am with all possible cordiality, and affection;
Your tender and loving Friend and Brother.

Paris, 1787. Mr. NATH. THAYER, Queen-Street, Boston, in America.
GANGANELLI to a YOUNG COUNT. SIR,
I WAS too much the friend of your father, & am too much your friend to let you go astray as you now do, without recalling you to yourself. Is it possible that, that dear child whom I have seen so gentle, good and virtuous in his fathers house, has so totally forgot what he was, as to become rude, insolent and irreligious!
It is with the utmost difficulty I can persuade myself that it is so; but I am so often assured of it, and by the company with whom you associate, that I can no longer doubt it.
I beg of you to come and see me, and in the effusions of a heart which tenderly loves you, I will tell you, not what anger inspires, not what prejudice suggests, not what is bitter in reproaches, but all that the sincerest attachment can dictate, to withdraw you from that abyss into which bad company has hurried you.
You will neither find me an imperious monitor, nor an angry pedagogue, but a friend, a brother, who will speak to you as he would to himself, with the same lenity, and with the same calmness. I know that youth is fiery, and that there is great difficulty in escaping from the ways of the world when we are rich, and given up to the passions. But do not honour decency reason, and religion speak more powerfully than the passions and senses.
What is man, my dear friend, if he takes no council but of his corrupted heart? Alas! I find within me, as well as you find in yourself, wherewithal to lead me astray, if I did not hearken to my conscience and my duty; for illusion and corruption are the only portions of humanity.
I expect you with the greatest impatience, to stretch forth my arms and embrace you. Do not startle at the sight of my cloister or my habit. On account of my profession, I ought to be the more charitable. We will bewail together the loss of a father who was so necessary to you; I will endeavour to give you such advice as to make him live again in you; by the excellence of your morals. Do not disgrace his memory by the scandal of a disorderly life.
If you will deign to hearken to me, I am confident that the plan of life which I will trace out to you, will restore every thing as it should be. Do not be afraid, I will not send you to do penance, either with the Capuchins or the Chartreux, for I do not love violence. God will inspire us, God does not abandon those who return to him. I shall not stir abroad to-morrow that I may receive you.

And the names of the persons contained in such list, shall be transmitted to the selectmen of the several towns, parishes and places aforesaid, who shall thereupon warn a meeting to be holden on the first Monday of February next, giving at least eight days notice; and the inhabitants of each town qualified as aforesaid, shall out of such list give in their votes for the number of Representatives wanting, and the selectmen and the town-clerk as aforesaid, shall cause a record of the number against each man's name in such list to be made, and a copy thereof attested in manner aforesaid, to be transmitted to the Secretary's office, on or before the 20th of the same February; and such votes shall be examined by the President and Council for the time being, or by such of them whose names are not contained in such list. And in case it shall appear to the General-Court that the names of a major part of the Council are on said list, then the same shall be examined and counted by a committee, chosen by the General Court for that purpose—and such number of the candidates,
equal to the number of representatives wanting, as shall have the highest number of votes, shall be declared elected. And in case it shall so happen by reason of an equality of votes, a choice of the whole number or any part of the representatives wanting, cannot be declared, the name of such candidates shall be put into a box, and the Secretary shall draw out the number wanting, and the person or persons so drawn shall be declared elected; and the members chosen and declared as aforesaid, shall be the Representatives of the state of New-Hampshire in the Congress of the United States, for the term of two years, from the first Wednesday of March next.

Which votes shall be taken, recorded, sealed, and transmitted to the Secretary's office, at the same time and in like manner as votes for Representatives to the Congress of the United States, as is by this act required. And the Secretary shall lay such votes before the General-Court, to be counted and examined in the same manner as votes for the Representatives; and the persons having a majority of votes shall on the first Wednesday of January next, be duly appointed and declared elected. And in case it shall so happen, that the whole or any part of the number of Electors are not chosen by the people, then the General-Court shall take a number of names out of the candidates who have the highest number of votes, equal to double the number of Electors wanting, from which the Senate and House shall, in such way and manner as may be by them agreed on, proceed to appoint the Electors wanting, who shall be declared the Electors of this State for the President and Vice-President of the United States, and notified to attend their duty as such.
And be it further Enacted, by the authority aforesaid, That if a vacancy shall happen in either of said cases, they shall be filled up in manner aforesaid.

TANGIERS June 24.
Some time ago the Emperor left the capital, marching from province to province at the head of his troops, to punish the partizans of his two sons; this he does by fire and sword, without mercy; he has already sacrificed one entire village to his vengeance, by setting it on fire, and burning the women, children, and every thing in it; such as had the good fortune to escape the flames, were instantly put to the sword. But in spite of the terror which his army every where carried, he met with a party near Mequinez, who offered him battle, and he lost several of his men before he won the day. Prayers are put up in all the mosques, for success to his Moorish Majesty, at the same time that curses are uttered against his two sons. It is his Majesty's desire that his third son be declared his successor.
STOCKHOLM, July 23.
Sweden has this year at sea 80 men of war, 29 galleys; and 77 xebecs, exclusive of a great number of armed sloops; all which, with 30,000 land troops, are commanded by the King, and the two Dukes his brothers.
L O N D O N, Sept. 2.
Letters from Algiers inform us, that the Dey has put the French Consul in irons, and stopped all vessels of his nation that were in that port. We are likewise informed, that all the ships that were armed at Toulon, were ordered to sail and block up the Bay of Algiers.
Engagement between the SWEDES and RUSSIANS.
It is well authenticated, that a very bloody battle has happened between the Swedes and Russians, on the borders of Finland.—Every thing that could animate the troops, on both sides, assisted. Both the King of Sweden and the Grand Duke of Russia, headed their respective forces.
In the onset, the Russians had considerably the advantage, and attacked the left wing of the Swedish forces with great bravery and effect—taking from them the whole of their artillery with 500 prisoners. The King at the head of a few regiments instantly flew to their relief, and the soldiers animated at the presence and example of their sovereign, rallied and charged afresh with the greatest fury and conduct, and put to flight the whole of the Russian army. The Count Mufchim Poodkin, and 4000 prisoners with the whole artillery, fell into the hands of the Swedes. The Grand Duke retreated with the scattered remains of his army, into the fortress of Wyburg, which was immediately invested by the King of Sweden.
The capture of Wyburg is of the last importance to Russia, for should it fall, Petersburg must be open to every danger and attack, and in all probability will surrender. The plunder of this place would pay the expences of the whole war.
The forces now employed respectfully by the Turks, the Austrians, and the Russians, are in all computed at more than 900,000 men.
Sept. 8. One factor's house in Dublin, in the linen trade, has stopped for 40,000l. On investigation it appears, that the sums they are actually under acceptance for, are not less than 32,000l.
Sept. 9. The loss of the Austrians in their last unfortunate engagement,
was 15 officers and 900 soldiers killed.
The ambassadors from Tippo Saib, now at Paris, are said to be coming to this country before they return to India.
Letters from the continent say that there is a great probability of the elector of Saxony joining the grand alliance between England, Prussia, Holland and Hanover.
The king of Sweden was within 14 leagues of Peterburgh, when the last accounts arrived from the royal army in Finland.
Government have already ordered a reinforcement of frigates for the Mediterranean station. The Aquilon, Capt. Montgomery, and the Mercury, Capt. Montague, are now at Spithead under orders, and ready to proceed with the first fair wind.
Yesterday rear admiral Payton, who had been appointed commander in chief on the Halifax station, and hoisted his flag on board the Leander, returned to town in consequence of an express from the admiralty, and it is understood that he is now to proceed to Gibraltar to take the command of the fleet there.
Aug. 20. "Ships from the Gulph in 14 days, say that the Russian fleet, under the command of Admiral Grieg, keeps the Swedish fleet blocked up at Helsingfors."
The Bellona, cruising with three other Swedish frigates in the north sea, captured a storeship of 26 guns and 95 men, under convoy of a Russian fleet, and carried her into Marstrand on Saturday last, which proved a very valuable prize. Her cargo consists of 123 cannons with their ammunition, two silver table services, with furniture, for the Admirals in the Black Sea, the Prince of Nassau and Paul Jones; besides fine mahogany chairs, &c. &c. also 200 suits of clothes for the Russian troops.—Three Russian ships of 100 guns each chased our frigates as far as Marstrand. P E T E R S B U R G H, Aug. 16. (Translated from the Gazette of the Court.)
Advices have been received from Admiral Greig, that having weighed anchor on the 6th inst. in the morning, he sailed with his fleet, and came off Sweabourgh on the 7th, where he perceived four Swedish ships of war at anchor in the road. On his approach, they cut their cables, and retired into port under a press of sail. All their movements bespoke the utmost confusion; and just as the leading ship of our fleet came within cannon shot, one of their vessels struck on a rock under water with such force as to break her main-mast, and carry it overboard. The vessel struck on the rock, and after exchanging a few shot with our admiral Roffainow, struck her colours. The three other vessels saved themselves, in part by the impossibility of our fleet pursuing them on account of the great quantity rocks, under water and level with it, which are found in these latitudes. Admiral Grieg sent boats to take possession of the ship, which was of 64 guns, 36 and 24 pounders named the Gustavus and Adolphus, and a new ship. Her Captain is the Col. Christie; and there are made prisoners along with him, thirteen officers and 530 men. As it was impossible to save the ship, which had already 25 feet of water, she was burnt, after we had saved the prisoners, their effects, and had taken out what we could of their ammunition.
The Duke of Sudermania, with all his fleet, amounting to sixteen ships of the line, and eight frigates, remained in the port of Sweabourgh a quiet spectator, without the least attempt to prevent us, although the ship struck, and was burnt within three or four vestes from Sweabourgh.
Admiral Grieg, continued before this port, fortified by art and nature, to the 9th, in the hope that the Duke of Sudermania would come out to give him battle; but though the wind was favourable, he did not attempt it.

Parnassian Spring.
A U T U M N.
A H! me! how fast the summer flies, And leaves the hapless shore; While we, beneath the low'ring skies, Her absence must deplore. See! hostile Autumn marks the land, And strips the drooping trees; Lo! how they moulder from her hand, And fall at every breeze. Soon hoary Winter will prevail, And drag her fleeces on; Hark! how the swains the Summer wail, And mourn the season gone. No more the morn shall blushing rise, And pearly dews exhale; No more shall gild the eastern skies, Nor cheer the bleating vale; But murky, gloomy, low'ring, black, Reluctant drop along; Ah! turn, departing Summer, back, Restore the rural song. But hence, vain wish! false hope away! Will she obey the swain? She flies to hear some nobler lay, On some more happy plain; Or wherefore murmur, 'cause she flies, Or pine at her depart? Soon she again as bright shall rise, And cheer each grateful heart
