The federal story that the U. States frigate has been rendered unfit for sea, and the Essex greatly damaged, by having "laid so long in the Virginia mud," is declared by the "National Intelligencer" to be "definite of truth."
The story of the Democrats, having sacrilegiously demolished a meeting-house in Connecticut, is false—though it is true that agreeably to a vote of the Congregation, an old decayed meeting-house was taken down, in order to build a new one.
We cannot help applying to the federal story-tellers, an Epigram we have somewhere seen:
"Our pious fathers were so wondrous civil, They sought, by telling truth, to shame the devil. A different mode the federalists are trying, They seek to shame the devil by Out-Lying."
Political Miscellany.
For the N. H. Gazette.
FALSE FEDERALISM exposed in its true colours. NO. I.
THE unexampled virulence and malice, which marks the pages of the federal writers, the repeated fabrications of falsehood to alarm and excite resentment in those of our citizens, who, not having paid the attention they ought to the affairs and interests of their country have too readily received as truths every thing advanced by a disorganizing faction, renders it a duty indispensable to notice the publications of those fomenters of mischief. Many unsuspecting minds have been drawn in by political reasoners and declaimers, expressing themselves with great show of sincerity, patriotism and religion, and thus have been led to take the most vile and false misrepresentations for realities. It is necessary to expose their propagated errors and lies, not only for the information of our citizens, but to arrest the progress of evil fame abroad, tending to prejudice the surrounding nations against our government and its administration, and to render republican principles detestable in their eyes. The vile measures that have been used to injure the character, and destroy the reputation of our President and his friends, must awaken the resentment and indignation of our citizens, and it is justice to them and to the public, to refute the calumnies and falsehoods which have been so industriously circulated throughout the states. The pen of satire should severely chastise these infamous hireling writers, who deal only in slander and mischief. If there are men who conscientiously embrace political principles and views different from those which influence the majority of citizens, they are far from encouraging or countenancing falsehoods and inflammatory publications. They use no low dirty means to propagate their sentiments. They have more virtue and discretion than to promote or connive at such baseness and villainy. Their aim is according to the light they have, for the good of their country. And many of this character have found cause to change their sentiments, and embrace republicanism, and approve the measures of government, having seen their salutary effects. They have observed the wisdom and economy, the philanthropic and pacific measures of the present administration. They have discerned that the preceding administration was conducted with wildness and extravagance, destitute of economy, simplicity and consistancy; that, in that period, the views and desires of the people were reprobated contradicted and thwarted, an arbitrary and oppressive system pursued, debts accumulated, burthensome taxes imposed, and the public money employed to establish unconstitutional influence, and gradually to effect the annihilation of Republicanism to introduce monarchy and aristocracy, and a national religion, with all the proud insulting parade, eclat and grandeur of kings, nobles and lordly priests, to depress the people to a condition of wretchedness below that of beasts of burden. Their eyes are opened to see these things, and they unite with republicans in rejoicing at the overthrow of the enemies of their country. But while the disappointed and defeated faction are continuing to vent their rage against our government, and are exerting all their remaining strength to pull it down, we are not to be silent under their insulting and incendiary proceedings, and suffer them to renew their strength and pernicious influence. Clergymen who profess a religion of benevolence, have shown their chagrin at their disappointment in their aims at worldly power and grandeur. In direct contradiction to their profession, they have been endeavouring to inflame the people against the administrators of our government. To what an height of depravity must those priests have attained, who, under the pretext of religion, have conducted themselves rather like instruments of the prince of darkness, who is called the father of lies and a murderer from the beginning; endeavouring to build up the kingdom of darkness in this land of light and liberty; shewing the same temper and
disposition which possessed the ancient pharisees, who with the name of God in their mouths cherished the vilest principles in their hearts; impressing the people with the idea that they were the friends of God, while they ever proudly exalting themselves and oppressing them with grievous burdens. In conjunction with the vilest of the federal faction they cast unmerited reproach on the President and his friends. And this infamous conduct is still pursued; they have united in opposing & finding fault with every wise and salutary measure of our real friends and patriots. If citizens, meet together to promote the public interests, they are represented as associating to establish a tyranny. They would have no societies formed or countenanced but their own, either religious, political or commercial. If citizens may not associate together, how are they to know one another's minds on political subjects, or any others conducive to the good of society, that they may act in concert? For say the federalists, there is no authority given by the Constitution and law of the country for any number of persons to form societies or clubs to consult on the affairs of the nation and the conduct of its officers. They might as well call it seditious for two or three persons to converse together on those subjects, or utter a single word on public affairs. They would, if they could have their will, stop the mouths of the people from speaking in their own cause, and allow freedom of speech and discussion to none but themselves. But, be it known to them, we want no authority for associating for the common good, or the information and instruction of our fellow-citizens. Were there no separate meetings for those purposes there would be no general one to preside over the whole, under the eye, and by the appointment of the people. The hypocrisy, absurdity and wickedness of the federal calumniators shall be further exposed in the next number.
HONORIUS.
From the TRUE AMERICAN.
Serious Questions, and true Answers.
Why do the Federal papers attack the private characters of men in office? Because their public conduct is so wise and just as to be invulnerable; and a slander on private reputation is less likely to be refuted than one on public conduct; the latter being within the reach of every man, while the former can be known to comparatively but few.
Why do the Federal papers, in treating of public measures, resort to misrepresentation and falsehood? Because if those measures were fairly and truly represented by them, every honest reader they have would become a supporter of the administration.
Why do the Federal papers substitute assertions and abuse, for facts and argument? Because facts and arguments all make against them, and would, if used, effect their own destruction.
Why have the Federalists, possessing as they say they do, all the Talents of the country, and employing as we know they do, every means in their power to carry their purposes, been defeated in almost every quarter of the Union by the illiterate and half witted democrats (as they contemptuously stile the republicans)? Because the cause of Federalism IS A BAD ONE, and all the talents in the Universe could not sustain it for any length of time among an enlightened people; while the cause of republicanism IS A GOOD ONE, and truth, even without talents or learning, or in opposition to both can support and prosper it.
PLAIN TRUTH.
From the Boston Chronicle.
It appears that the district of Maine has returned to found principles, and a republican majority has been obtained the present year. Governor Strong lost 4496 votes of his last year's majority in that district, and the republicans gained 4560. This is the more remarkable, as there has been but one republican newspaper (tho' an excellent one) in the whole district, which has existed but nine months, while four or five federal papers have been established there for years.
DECLARATION OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.
WHEN in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station, to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States.—To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome & necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation 'till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depositary of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States, for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices; and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us.
For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing taxes on us without our consent.

By depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. For transporting us beyond seas, to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring Province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries. So as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his protection, and waging war against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy, scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow-citizens taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to kill themselves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an unqualified destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connexions and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must therefore, acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace, friends. We, therefore, the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in GENERAL CONGRESS assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of the good people of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these United Colonies, are, and of right ought to be, FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connexion between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be totally dissolved; and that, as FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which INDEPENDENT STATES may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. Signed by order and in behalf of the Congress, JOHN HANCOCK, PRESIDENT. ATTEST. CHARLES THOMSON, Secretary. If the English nation feels envious at the prosperity and rising glory of America, and feels angry at the superiority of our country in wisdom and policy to her own, she may look back at past events, and endeavor to stir up in her mind serious reflections, and unfeigned repentance. If our language is the same, our principles are different—and if they are angry with us, it is without a just cause; and we bemoan their folly, which has urged them on to the precipice of destruction. We have at the head of our government, through the good hand of providence, the author of the DECLARATION OF OUR INDEPENDENCE, whose conduct every way answers the hopes and expectations of his friends, and receives the plaudit of all the friends of liberty and humanity of every nation. AGRICULTURE. On Shearing Lambs.—An experienced farmer advises to shear the largest lambs at the time of the new moon in July. Say what you will continues he, about its injuring their fleeces in future, I can contradict it by experience. Their fleeces will yield as much, and their wool will be better. And as there are no cold storms in that season of the year, your lambs will be more comfortable and thrive faster without their fleeces than with them. As hatching wool is dear, by attending to this method of frugality, many thousands of dollars might be saved to the country annually, of which each individual raiser of sheep would receive his share.
From the Boston Chronicle of July 5. GLORIOUS ANNIVERSARY. "Citizens, Citizens, nor art, nor intrigue, must ever obliterate from your minds, nor from those of your children, the virtuous design of this commemoration." Yesterday there was a Republican Triumph at Faneuil Hall, where upwards of two hundred Citizens assembled to celebrate our political emancipation. The procession was escorted by the Washington Infantry, under the command of Capt. Joseph Loring. The meeting was conducted with a decorum appropriate to the great occasion: The Hon. James Bowdoin, Esq. was in the chair, and the day passed away in a succession of sentiments, replete with genuine patriotism: It was a glorious spectacle of those men, who retain the spirit of '75, and it was particularly honorable, in being displayed and enjoyed in the metropolis of Massachusetts, where an insidious and baneful party, have been employed, during the last ten years, in the endeavour to introduce the elements of an aristocracy under various, but specious disguises. The enthusiasm that accompanied the verbal honors that were paid to a Jefferson, Samuel Adams, a Hancock &c. were highly energetic; and the consequent despair to the Anglo Federal party, must be proportioned to the ardour of the Republicans of Massachusetts; many, very many, have been the attempts of the enemies of equal rights, to neutralize the public opinion in regard to the true interests of liberty; but the rapturous consequences of this day, will eclipse even the appearance of such a hope from their minds—not the day, when our beloved President's declaration of Independence was first promulgated; nor the august day, when a ratification of the Independence was received from the proud but fallen court of Britain, could produce more unequivocal and joyful demonstrations, in behalf of that independence, than were evinced yesterday by the respectable association in Faneuil Hall.
FOREIGN. The European advices, though not fraught with events of the first moment, contain many particulars, interesting to those who wish to be acquainted with the current of events on that vast and interesting theatre. From every consideration of what can be gathered from the recent advices, we are still persuaded, that a continental war will precede a peace in Europe. What the issues of a vigorous war may be, are beyond the measures of ordinary calculation. But if we may presume from the past upon the future; and believe that events may arise out of such a war, as surprising and unexpected as those which have disappointed the most wise and experienced for the last twelve years; it will be said what state existing in Europe will preserve its present rank or its present dominions. Should the French involve the northern powers in the war, and the shores of the Baltic be enanguined as the banks of the Rhine have been—would the resurrection of Poland be an event unnatural? Would the reconsolidation of the Swedish and Danish kingdoms be more extraordinary than partition? Would it be more extraordinary to find Constantine brother of the Russian emperor, placed on a throne on the banks of the Boristhene, than to see what has already happened in the total derangement of the German constitutions or than to have seen Prussia, whose armies were the first to enter France become the first to negotiate and her first and firmest ally? Why has Gen. Paulet, the aid of Hedouville, been treated with so much attention in Russia?—and after having made an official tour of the Grecian Archipelago and the Euxine? Why are the armed vessels of Russia constantly passing the Dardanelles into the Mediterranean?
These enquiries tho' framed upon remote deductions and inferences—may perhaps, in the progress of the year, prove more than plausible. Philadelphia Aurora. The new ministerial arrangements embrace so vast a variety of matter, and are encountered by so much difficulty in rendering those interests homogeneous which have for years been at variance, that the detail of the forth-coming administration proceeds but slowly, and we have reason to believe that even some of its leading features are not yet decidedly marked. The public have been already informed that Mr. Pitt, by desire of the king, communicated to his majesty the names of those persons whom he and his friends wished to comprise in the new administration, and who united most of the talents and the influence of the country. It was even so late as yesterday evening asserted that this list had not been then returned; that his majesty did not disapprove the admission of Mr. Fox and his friends into the cabinet, but that he decidedly objected to any alteration in the existing religious establishments of any part of the United Kingdoms. The king, it is further stated, how truly we will not pretend to say, has personally objected to some members of the opposition, amongst whom are mentioned the marquis of Stafford and lord Grenville; while it is added, probably with an equal degree of truth, that his majesty has expressed an inclination that the duke of Portland, lord Eldon, and lord Hawkesbury may retain their present appointments. There are a thousand other reports afloat on this interesting topic, but we decline indulging in the detail, lest we might be considered as trifling with the public solicitude. Mr. Addington retires from office, possessing in an eminent degree, the public esteem—he is regretted by many; he must be personally respected by all. His administration may have been deficient in energy, but it has been distinguished by equity, moderation, and complacency, and more than perhaps any other, by respect to the constitutional privileges of the public. He has created an immense and unprecedented military force, without infringing on personal liberty, and raised a large revenue by means less burthensome than were, perhaps ever before adopted. Mr. Addington may not possess the splendid talents of some of his political opponents, but we believe he is inferior to none in the estimable endowments of the heart. His great error has been associating in his administration men of but little talents and of less political influence, and in having neglected to avail himself of his official powers of contraction, to prevent that union of parties which has proved so fatal to him. The circumstance, however, which has perhaps more than all others proved injurious to Mr. Addington, has resulted from the late distressing situation of his majesty, and from an opinion, happily fallacious, that he still continues unequal to discharge the royal functions; a seclusion from his family, from most of his official servants, and from the greedy sight and affectionate salutation of his people has been calculated to give colour to the reports of a regency, and the numerous other speculations, equally unfounded which have for some time engaged public attention. Political attachments have in all ages been, in most cases, contracted with the power of the minister only, a mere intercourse of interest, and regulated by corresponding maxims; with such men the first symptom of instability in an administration, amounts to evidence of its general incapacity, and they break from it with the same precipitancy, that they would fly a falling house, not only to avoid violation in its ruins, but by early succession, to establish a claim to the consideration of the ruling party. Morn. Chron.
Portsmouth. TUESDAY, JULY 10, 1804. Latest from EUROPE. By an arrival at New Bedford, London accounts are received up to the 17th May, but nothing decisive had taken place between the two rival powers: It was reported just before this vessel failed, that a change had taken place in the British ministry, at the head of which was Mr. Pitt. "Hail! Independence Hail!! Heaven's next best gift, to that of life, And an immortal Soul." FOURTH of JULY. The Anniversary of our national nativity was celebrated in this town last Wednesday, with unusual demonstrations of joy and respect for the principles which gave it birth: The early dawning of the day was saluted by a discharge of seventeen cannon from the Artillery of this town, and by an uniformed company of militia, which paraded on that auspicious morning, in honor of the glorious festival. At 11 o'clock, the citizens moved in procession from the State House to Dr. BUCKMINSTER'S Meeting House, where, after several performances by a select band of Musicians, associated for the purpose, the Throne of Mercy was addressed in humble and appropriate terms of acknowledgment, for the enjoyment of those distinguished political blessings, which have elevated us above all the nations of the earth; the Declaration of our Independence, as penned by the hand of JEFFERSON, was read in a most impressive manner, and an Oration, in commemoration of our deliverance from foreign and domestic oppressors, in a style of superior eloquence, was delivered from the desk by JOHN WENTWORTH, Esq. to a very numerous and attentive auditory, who, by their repeated plaudits, testified their approbation of the sublime merits of the performance. After singing an Ode composed for the occasion, the procession moved to Jefferson Hall, where a splendid and elegant entertainment was provided for a numerous company, among whom were several of the clergy, the French Consul, and all the officers of the army stationed in this vicinity. At the close of which, under the direction of THOMAS MANNING, Esq. President, and Col. WOODWARD, Vice-President, of the day, the following TOASTS were drunk, with repeated and joyful acclamations: 1. The DAY—Perpetuity to the principles which gave it birth, and immortality to the men, who on the 4th of July 1776, proclaimed them to the world. 2. The United States—Infamy to the wretch who would impair their union. 3. THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States— "Content as he Northern Star, Of whole true fix'd & rising quality, There is no fellow in the fi'mament." 4. The People of the United States—Alive to the dangers they have escaped; may they, by the constitutional exercise of their legitimate rights, crush the faction that is seeking their destruction. 5. The Constitution of the United States—The ark of our political safety. 6. The memory of those heroes, who fought and bled for the independence we this day enjoy. 7. The Memory of our Illustrious WASHINGTON—Great in the Council, glorious in the field. 8. The Press—Unshackled by sedition acts, may truth be its aim, and liberty its object. 9. The Militia of the United States—The strong bulwark of our liberty, may the soldier never forget the rights of the citizen. 10. The American Navy—May it never want a DECATUR to avenge injuries, nor a JEFFERSON to reward merit. 11. Our adopted brethren of Louisiana—As our Government is predicated upon the broad basis of equal rights, we gladly extend to them the influence of its wholesome laws, without the degrading fear of impairing our union by extension of empire. 12. The Republican Legislature of New-Hampshire—They have honored their country, may their country honor them. 13. The State of New-Hampshire—Still faithful to the principles of 1776. 14. The Jelf-nam'd scholar of the Washington School—May he no longer, like a truant boy, forget the lessons of his master. 15. The Rights of Man—Defended with our nation's BLOOD—Secured by our nation's VIRTUE. 16. WASHINGTONIAN Federalism— "It is shameful to erect a sanctuary for our vices upon the virtues of others." 17. The American Fair—With the talents of a WOLLSTONECRAFT, may they ever display the bland and fixed qualities of a LUCRETIA. VOLUNTEERS. To the President—The Cincinnati of New-Hampshire.
MAVOK'S Universal HISTORY. It is with much satisfaction we notice that the republication of valuable European works in the United States meets with increasing encouragement. Several well selected and voluminous productions have lately issued from the American press, executed with a neatness and correctness indicative of the flourishing state of citizen-typography. Among these we would particularly recommend the "Universal History, by Mavor," to public attention. It is now in the press. Seven or eight volumes are already in circulation, and the remainder will be finished with expedition. The first requisites for an useful historian, are method, perspicuity of style, and correctness with respect to facts. Mr. Mavor seems to possess these essential qualities, and, besides, in digesting a series of events since the earliest history of man, has confined himself to such interesting outlines as on the one hand to inform without fatiguing, and on the other, to exhibit a view without obscuring. It is to be regretted that several of our best historians have tinged their productions with that scepticism with regard to the scriptures, which, in the present age, is unhappily too popular. We are pleased to remark, in the author we now recommend, a serious regard to scripture narrative, on which he constructs the first part of his work preserving a judicious medium between a bigoted credulity and a bewildering infidelity. Such is the result of our own examination of this writer, so far as the history has appeared in an American edition. We shall add a brief review, taken from the London Monthly Magazine of 1802. "Dr. Mavor, whose name is respectably known to the public, as the author of several valuable school books, has presented to the public an important work, which carefully avoids the brevity of Bossuet and Voltaire, and the dull prolixity of the great Universal History. His ancient History extends to nine moderately sized volumes, and is the only part which is yet completed. The Modern History is intended to form sixteen volumes. As fair as this work has already proceeded, it is entitled to much commendation, as a faithful compilation from the great Universal History, and from the various historians of particular periods; and it is enriched with the new lights, which the recent labors of the learned, at home and abroad, have thrown upon many important events. In the Persian and Indian History, Dr. Mavor has very judiciously availed himself of the materials afforded by the researches of Sir Wm. Jones, and the Asiatic Society; and his connected history of Ancient Persia is the best which we recollect to have seen. The introduction is a spirited performance; and the style of the whole is neat, elegant, and well adapted to the nature of the work."
Gentlemen disposed to encourage the above mentioned work, are respectfully informed that a subscription paper is at the bookstore of ANGER MARCH, No. 13. Market Square, Newburyport, and at C. PEIRCE'S Bookstore Daniel-Street, Portsmouth, where the volumes will be forwarded as fast as published. It is hoped gentlemen in this town and its vicinity will avail themselves of this opportunity to furnish themselves with a valuable addition to their libraries; and by a liberal patronage of literary enterprise, acquire a character as eminent for public literature, and scientific taste, as that which they now justly bear for intelligence, industry and perseverance in commercial pursuits. It is printed on a superfine vellum paper, with a new and beautiful type, and delivered in separate volumes, at the reduced price of one dollar each, in boards embellished with all the Plates and Maps which are contained in the London edition. To non-subscribers, the price will be 1 dol. 25 cents. Portsmouth, July 10 1804.

CONCORD, July 5th, 1804.
The Anniversary of American Independence was yesterday celebrated in this town, by a large and respectable number of Republicans, who convened at the Inn of Mr. SAM'L BUTTERS, and partook of an elegant entertainment provided by him, under a beautiful shade in front of his house. The Hon. JOHN BRADLEY, Esq. presided, and was supported by Major TIMOTHY CHANDLER and Capt. JOHN ROCHE.
Order, harmony and social hilarity prevailed on the occasion, and the company separated at an early hour, under the most grateful impressions of the benefits of President JEFFERSON's Administration, and happy that the principles that created the day, had been regenerated, and that the present Government, recognizing them, had concentrated its memory, and the honors that belonged to it.
After dinner the following Toasts were drank, under a discharge of Artillery:—
 1. The Day—Immortality to its celebration, and to the Patriots who gave it birth.  2. The People, the origin of all political power, and their happiness the object of all good governments.  3. The President of the United States—The political Sage, the Patriot, and the Philosopher: "When reviled, he revileth not again."  4. The Heads of Departments, and the majorities of both Houses of Congress—Public confidence and esteem for their patriotic labours.  5. The Federal Union—May it be permanent at time. And may "we frown upon the dawning of any attempt to divide it."  6. Science, Agriculture, Commerce, the Arts, Manufactures and the Fisheries—May they be encouraged, pursued, and protected.  7. Our Navy—May we have enough to protect Commerce, and Commerce enough to support it.  8. Louisiana—May the acquisition of a new world by fair negotiation and without blood be duly appreciated, and the lasting gratitude of the country, be given to MENZIE and LIVINGSTON, our patriotic Negotiators, and to the Administration that obtained it. 
9. WASHINGTON, FRANKLIN, HANCOCK and ADAMS, and the deceased worthies of the late Revolution—May the grateful tears of their country be an unperishable tomb of glory to their memory.
10. The WASHINGTON and JEFFERSON Administrations—May they be patterns of imitation for all succeeding ones.
11. The State of New-Hampshire—Fall regenerated, may she be completely restored to the "bosom of the Union," and the next election bring her to her proper stand, the Front Rank on the Right Wing.
12. JOHN LANGDON, the Republican Candidate for Governor—Correct and consistent as a politician, moral and religious as a man; the friend of his State and Country, and New-Hampshire will be confident in him.
13. NICHOLAS GILMAN—The brave and meritorious Officer, the enlightened Statesman, and undeviating Republican.
14. The body politic of New-Hampshire—The second Tuesday of March, the constitutional and sovereign remedy for a disordered head.
15. The virtuous and independent majority of the Legislature of New-Hampshire—May they stand firm to their "Resolutions."
16. JEFFERSON'S NOTES for the "WASHINGTON SCHOOL."
17. The Militia—Spirit and patriotism to support it. No flandering arms, or Oxford wais.
18. To those labouring under political delusion and prejudice—Truth will come to them if they seek it; pardon will follow repentance, and the Republican hand of fellowship greet their reformation.
VOLUNTEERS.
General HENRY DEARBORN—May New-Hampshire ever be proud to recognize as one of her sons, the Patriot who sustained for his country such perils and hardships in the wilderness of Canada, and at the siege of Quebec.
Gen. JOHN STARK, the hero of Bennington—May the revision of those sacred principles that he so bravely fought for, gladden his declining years.
COMMUNICATION.
Messrs. PRINTERS,
On seeing a Song for the celebration of Independence, published in the last Oracle; I conceived it needed some alteration to make it congenial to the principles of true Republicanism; those principles which inspired our statesmen to achieve, and our heroes to effect our glorious Independence—I therefore have taken the liberty to make some alteration, and request its publication. Yours, &c. B.
Tune, Hail Columbia.
HAIL the day when from the voice Our Godlike fires indignantly broke! In grateful chorus to the skies, Let universal praise rise, And consecrate the hours now free, To UNION, PEACE and LIBERTY! Let no dark cloud the brow o'ershade, No fears unmanly dare invade: But mirth inspire each patriot tongue, And this the burthen of the song—
CHORUS— "Though desperate pilots rail'd the helm, Storms rent the bark, taxes did whims, Heav'n did control the raging blast, And brought her to the port at last."
Falle policy did rule awhile, Bate arts some people did beguile,
FEDERAL NABBS in their flight, Deny'd EQUALITY of RIGHTS: And STATE-EMPIRE-duck with pride Us'd every effort to DIVIDE.
TRUTH has arriv'd, those days are past, And PROBITY buoy'd up at last. These are a NATION's swiftest prop, Without them FEDRAL systems drop! CHORUS. Though desperate pilots, &c.
REPUBLICAN splendors then did fade; And FEDRAL clouds did us o'ershade! We then like SAMPSON in despair, Did moan awhile our ravisht hair! Wak'd from the lap of soft repose, While proud Philistines mock'd our woes. Yet soon those locks did sprout again, The ADAMS system fell amain. We're rous'd from sloth! we prun'd each wing!
And with united ardor sing.
CHORUS. Though desperate pilots, &c.
THIS DAY to purchase, did our fies, Warm with heroic, godlike fires,
In HONOUR's field, with corfes pil'd, While heav'n with wonder gaz'd & smil'd,
Pay the full price! a tedious flood, Rich, ruddy drops of PATRIOT BLOOD!
And shall we lightly prize the boon? The Blood-Bought Treasure flight so soon?
Which Vernon's Chief to guard defends, And Heav'n's whole hierarchy defends?
CHORUS. Though desperate pilots, &c.
Tho' Traitors whom no Laws confine, The CONSTITUTION lap and mime;
'Gainst EQUAL Rights, audacious rail, And INDEPENDENCE for to fail.
Yet LANGDON firm, the tide did brave, Though Hampshire hurry'd down the wave.
(No factious son of party strife, But warm and zealous of the right!) And independent, calm did wait, Till Heav'n's own arm did change our fate.
CHORUS. Though desperate pilots, &c.
Let Demagogues with boiling zeal, Prefs onward, innovating still:
The FEDRAL knowledge we have try'd, And soon the EVIL we defy'd.
Tir'd of their schemes, truth will sift The JEFFERSONIAN SYSTEM best,
The sweets of Freedom, now we prize, And their bale politics despise.
Till Federalists at last relent, Blush, own their error, and repent.
CHORUS. Though desperate pilots, &c.
Sand firm! be calm! your Country's foes With steady vigilance oppose.
Still with respect and decency We mean to treat the powers that BE!
Rebellion leave, that giant-foe, To Arnold, Shays and Hamilton!
N. BABEL'S IMAGE shade again With bulk enormous, DUROU'S plain,
Nor the huge QUINCY's God, no more Deluded Federalists restore.
CHORUS.
Firm wiried let us stand, A faithful Watchman, guards our land!
Heav'n's breath our foes mad schemes aid blast,
And gave us VICTORY at last!
BRIDGE PARTY.
A number of gentlemen of this town celebrated the anniversary of American Independence at Chapouill's tavern, Piscataqua Bridge, where after placing ELIPHALET LADD, Esq. in the chair, they surrounded the festive board in high federal glee, after which a number of toasts were drank, congenial to the feelings of the assembled party.
SELECT TOASTS.
May every concealed enemy of the government of the United States, be drawn from their lurking holes, and laid confessed to the world in their true characters.
Vive la République Américaine!—Vive JEFFERSON—and ses amis! Les favoris de la vraie gloire, et de la Liberté.
Louisiana—may its silk and its cotton be twined into cords which shall bind the States in a perpetual union, and its generous wines enliven the human heart.
Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. DAVENPORT, for the splendid Dinner and attendance at the late entertainment in this town.
** Mr. WENTWORTH'S Oration is in the press, and will be ready for delivery in a few days.
We understand that capt. Brown, who arrived at Salem, on Wednesday, from Alicante, brought letters for government supposed to be from Capt. Bainbridge, at Algiers.
Capt. Merrit, from Lisbon, informs, that the Portuguese Government had declared war against the Moors; and that a ship of the line had failed from Lisbon to cruise in Tangier Bay.
General Armstrong, who is appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the French Government, takes his departure, it is said, about the first of next month.
By an arrival, at the Southward, from Gibraltar, a report is received, that the Prince of Peace was displaced, and the Court de Florida Blanca re-established at the court of Madrid. Another report is also received, of the regency of Tunis having declared war against the United States.
—DIED—
At Thomaston, on the 13th ult. in a sudden and unexpected manner, Mr. SAMUEL KENNISTON, aged 23; he had been employed in his usual business of procuring lime stone from the Quarries; he with another, under a shelving ground undertook to remove the dirt from the rock, when the whole of the weight above probably ten tons or more, fell upon him and almost instantaneously put a period to his existence; the next day his remains were conveyed to the silent grave, attended by a numerous concourse, whose sorrow, bespoke their regret at his loss. A sermon suited to the occasion, was delivered at his funeral by the Rev. Mr. Huse of Warren:—He has left an agreeable partner, aged parents, and a number of brothers and sisters, who sincerely lament his loss.
At Galsport, (Isle-of-Shoals) JOSIAH STEVENS, Esq. in the 64th year of his age.—He officiated at that place as a Justice of the Peace, an Instructor of Youth in the rudiments of useful learning, and Preacher of the Gospel to the people—in all which offices he was faithful, and aimed (we trust) to glorify GOD, and benefit that people. He died after a short illness with a fever, with calmness and resignation to the Divine will, much lamented by his friends.
In this town Mr. THOMAS LOWD, aged 35—Miss SALLY HALL, aged 12, daughter of Mr. Andrew H.—Mr. CALEB BREWSTER, aged 66.

PROPOSALS
For printing by Subscription, THE FIRST AMERICAN EDITION OF THE
Select British Classics:
To be copied from the last London edition.
IN THIRTY NINE VOLUMES.
Embellished with seventy-six Engravings.
CONTAINING, the Tattler, Spectator, Guardian, and Connoisseur, the World, Rambler, Idler and Adventurer, the Mirror, Shenstone's Sketches of Men and Manners, the Citizen of the World, or Letters from a Chinese Philosopher, and all the other Essays of Doctor Goldsmith—Together with brief Memoirs of the Lives of the principal Authors.
Quod magis ad nos Pertinet, et, neccie malum est, agimus— HOR.
IT would be superfluous to dilate upon that constellation of eminent authors, who have been distinguished, in these volumes, by the peculiar title of British Classics. The names of Addison, Steele, Pope, Johnson, Hawkesworth and Goldsmith, have been too long known, and too highly esteemed, to stand in need of an Eulogium at the present day. The excellent Essays written by them, and others their contemporaries, which are now proposed for publication, have been justly admired as a faithful picture of the manners of the Eighteenth Century, and recommended as containing, not only a rich Magazine of Moral, and critical knowledge, as well as chaste amusement, but as the fairest models of English composition—feldom equalled, and never surpassed, by the writers of this or any other age.
All, therefore, that seems necessary for the Subscriber, is, to acquaint his friends and the public in general, that he intends to publish an American edition of this truly classical collection, in a style that will not dishonour the works themselves, or be deemed unworthy of the patronage of their fellow-citizens.
THE CONDITIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
I. A Volume, containing from two hundred and fifty, to three hundred pages, will be published every fortnight. Each Volume shall be printed on a fine wove paper, with a new type, and be embellished with two Engravings, by the first Artists in the United States. The whole shall be superior to Parson's London Edition, which has been sold for fifty dollars.
II. The price to be paid on delivery, shall be 87 1/2 cents, in boards. This covering is to be preferred, because when books are fresh from the press, they are not fit to be bound in leather, nor can the whole be executed with so much uniformity. The price to non-subscribers will be advanced to at least one dollar a Volume.
III. Those who procure six subscribers, and become accountable for payment, as the volumes are delivered, shall receive one set gratis.
IV. In the last Volume, will be given, a complete alphabetical list of all the subscribers' names.
Subscriptions received by C. PEIRCE, Portsmouth.

PATRIOTIC ODES, Composed and sung at Portsmouth, July 4th, 1804. By JOHN WENTWORTH, Esq.
SOUND, found thy trump, eternal fame, Cherish the solemn, sacred flame, And spread it o'er the earth. Freedom to all the nations round; May her choice blessings here abound, Where Liberty took birth.
CHORUS. Columbia's sons in chorus join, And praise this precious gift divine. We sing the martyred heroes slain, Who lay enslaved on the plain— Who fought our glorious cause. We'll raise our grateful voices high, Our loudest thanks shall meet the skies For freedom's equal laws. Columbia's sons, &c.
O Lord preserve our happy land, Make us to know thy sovereign hand That brought salvation forth. Thy chosen people (well thy praise In lofty strains and tuneful lays, Thy goodness and thy worth. Columbia's sons, &c. Our songs shall ring the vaulted skies For freedom's great and glorious prize, That freemen value most. Soon may the nations far and near Partake our blessing, FREEDOM dear, America's great boast. Columbia's sons, &c.
II. HOW joyful and grateful our praises, This lovely and glorious DAY, The great Author of good deeds and mercy His bountiful gifts does display. Here liberty, freedom and happiness, Virtue and religion their guards, Injure us our national blessings; Our bosoms its conscious rewards.
CHORUS. Then who would not be an American? For happy and prosperous are we— Let us cherish and love one another, Our country is happy and free.
All strife and debate we will banish, And cultivate national love; Our deadly divisions shall vanish, And approve gracious smiles from above! Then friendship and honor as handmaids, 'Mongst neighbors & friends may be found; Let jarrings and factions be silenced, America's blessings abound. Then who, &c.
Gracious Heaven, we'll bless thee that men Who rule over us are in thy hands; To govern and sway us frail mortals, Obey and observe her commands; That our Rulers are of our own choosing, That tyranny ne'er may be known, The fruit of our lov'd Constitution, When Liberty's seeds were sown. Then who, &c.
Our thanks shall redouble—and praises For peace on our lengthened shores, That madens and fury for war, Have ceas'd, and are heard of no more. Rejoice that a JEFFERSON lives, A Statesman, illustrious and great— 'Tis our pride and our great consolation That he guides the helm of the state. Then who, &c.
Our arms & our flocks wilt thou flourish, Our labourer's tilling the ground, Our yeomanry, hardy and able— That plenty and grace may be found. Our commerce and trade wilt thou guard, Our sailors who ride on the waves, Their glory and brightness protection, That Americans ne'er will be slaves. Then who, &c.
Let every mortal then unite. To praise and exalt thy great name, Whose favor and bounty we share— Thou hast raised our American fame! That the wide spreading lands of the globe May give thanks and may join in the mirth; And may Liberty spread her wide wings And bless all the sons of the earth. Then who, &c.
III. From the RURAL LOITERER. HAIL the bright day, & let nature rejoice; While cannon shall roar their loud thunder; Fair freedom shall cheer her brave sons with her voice, And rend tyrann's shackles asunder. CHORUS. For ne'er shall Columbia's Freedom expire 'Till earth sinks in chaos and mountains retire.
Tho' Britain's proud forces our land did in- vade, And many brave heroes, encrimson'd the plain; Yet WASHINGTON's presence dispell'd the dark shade, And bade peace and rapture enliven again. For ne'er, &c.
Brave WARENN, who fell on "Bunker's famed mount," With countless brave heroes who fought for our cause; Their actions of valor we'll often recount, And dwell on their names with unbounded applause. For ne'er, &c.
Tho' darkens surrounded the shores of our land, And freedom's bright torch seem'd about to expire, Yet view now, ye patriots, the prospect so grand, Since ADAMS' faction were forc'd to retire. For ne'er, &c.
No more shall the host of his sycophants share The wealth which our farmers obtain'd by the hoe; No more his mad policy strive to inflame His country in war, and the nation in woe. For ne'er, &c.
Rejoice, O Columbia! rejoice at thy fate; Here Liberty's banner's unfurl'd; While Europe is cast with contention and hate, And slaughter encrimsons the world. For ne'er, &c.
While JEFFERSON sits at the helm of our state No fiefs and no ledges we fear; Like WASHINGTON wife, like WASH- INGTON great, With care and with prudence he'll steer. For ne'er, &c.
