Marshall on Insurance.
PROPOSALS OF DANIEL JOHNSON, FOR PRINTING BY SUBSCRIPTION, A TREATISE ON THE LAW OF INSURANCE.
IN FOUR BOOKS. 1st. Of Marine Insurance. 2d. Of Bottomry & Respondentia. 3d. Of Insurance upon Lives. 4th. Of Insurance against Fire.
From the First London Edition of "that clear acute and instructive writer," SAMUEL MARSHALL, Sergeant at Law.
CONTAINING ALSO, A complete and well-digested ANALYSIS of the work.
TOGETHER WITH A copious and accurate INDEX of the whole, pointing the reader to the most material parts of the work.
CONDITIONS.
 1. This Treatise on Insurance shall be neatly printed, on good paper and new type - and contained in one royal octavo volume, handsomely bound and lettered.  2. The price to subscribers will be FIVE DOLLARS, payable on delivery (about half the price of the London edition.) To non-subscribers the price will be considerably advanced.  3. The work will be put to press, as soon as a subscription shall be obtained, in some measure sufficient to justify the undertaking. 
PREFATORY EXTRACTS.
THE utility and importance of an acquaintance with the principles of Marine Insurance, have been long felt, and are daily acknowledged by the commercial part of almost every country - Nothing, therefore, is better calculated to promote the true interests of commerce, than a treatise which teaches the law that is to regulate the contracts of merchants.
To render a work of this kind useful to the merchant, it should be as complete within itself as possible - so as to make a recurrence to other books, seldom, if ever necessary. This the author has endeavored to do. - In order, therefore, that this work should possess an advantage above any other of the kind, now extant, the author has observed one invariable, and uniform rule, through the whole. Each case will be found to consist of three distinct parts: - The facts - the decision - and the reasons assigned for that decision:
There is scarcely any contract, which affords a greater number of questions of doubt and difficulty, than that of marine Insurance.
The principles of the law, applicable to this contract, are in general, well defined; yet the policy being usually of the same tenor, and the transactions upon which it is to operate, infinitely various and complicated. The conflicting rights of the parties, are often so equally balanced, that it is impossible to decide between them, without sometimes resorting to very nice distinctions. - For this purpose, the numerous and complicated cases which have been decided in the courts of Westminster, upon questions of insurance within the last sixty or seventy years, afford the best materials to assist the judgment, and to complete a treatise on this subject. They at once supply the rules of law, and shew the application of them.
The merchant will discover from a perusal of this work, that the leading principles which govern contracts of insurance, lie within a very narrow compass. These principles are established; and, if well understood, the only difficulty which remains, is the application of them to particular cases.
Arrangements will be made in a short time for procuring subscribers, in all the principal commercial towns. Portland, February, 1804.

Political Miscellany.
To the ELECTORS of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. (CONCLUDED.)
Fellow-Citizens,
IT rests with the sovereign people to determine, by their elective suffrages, whether the anglo federal system shall be restored, with all its attendants and consequences, or that of the republican administration be continued in its present prosperous train. If the experiment of free government, now in operation in the United States, should prove unsuccessful, there is no hope of its success in any other country, or any future age. In determining this momentous question for the whole human race, you, fellow-citizens of Massachusetts, have, at the present crisis, a most honourable and sacred truth. To the support of the republican cause in this country it is highly important that the state governments, in their executive and legislative departments should harmonize with the general government. In every point of view, that is a most desirable event. Such a political harmony already embraces thirteen of the seventeen states. But unfortunately the administration of this, and two or three other states, remain opposed to that of the nation. We believe this to be the result of adventitious causes, rather than a deliberate expression of the sentiments of the people. But, by this perverse opposition, however it may have been produced, Massachusetts, which was before a leading state in the Union, has, in a great measure, lost the confidence of her sister states and of the nation at large, and, at the same time, sacrificed the influence, which she once possessed, and ought still to retain, in the national councils. Our present chief magistrate is known to be opposed in his politics to the chief magistrate of the United States. He has thrown himself into the arms of an aristocratic combination of men, well known by the name of the Essex Junto, whose political influence has long been felt to the extremes of the Commonwealth. They are his confidential advisers. They share his official favours; and he has become the centre of their Union, the rallying point of their exertions. To prevent the election of President JEFFERSON, Governor STRONG, in compliance with their wishes, gave the sanction of his official signature to the memorable resolve, which robbed you, fellow-citizens, of your constitutional privilege of choosing your own electors of President and Vice-President, and transferred it to the legislature, delegated for the ordinary purposes of legislation, without any suspicion of their changing the accustomed mode of appointing electors and assuming the appointment to themselves. Such a party measure was not then suspected, until it was too late for a constitutional remedy. But now you have fair warning. Should you be again deprived of your right, the fault will be your own. If you re-elect the present Governor, with a majority of Federalists in the legislature, as the period of presidential election will recur, in the course of the year, you have good reason to expect that he will unite with a federal majority in repeating the same attack upon your elective franchise, from the same cool, determined opposition to a President, under whose

aspices we are sharing with our brethren in the other states such distinguished national blessings.
If the government of the United States is wisely administered for the benefit of the people, it is entitled to countenance and support from the constituted authorities of the several states. Such support & countenance the governors of this Commonwealth have heretofore been accustomed to give, and the executives of the other states in general are still giving, in their public speeches and other official acts. But instead of any approbatory notice of the present national administration, or their measures, Governor Strong has maintained a cold, disrespectful, contemptuous silence and neglect, more pointed and significant, if possible, than even direct expressions of disapprobation and distrust. That actions speak more forcibly than words, is a truth, which has obtained the currency of a proverb. For an application of this proverbial text, look around upon the political characters of those, whom he has appointed to influential offices; you find them selected from the front rank of the opposers of the present republican administration of the United States. In short, Governor Strong, however cautious in his conduct, and mild and moderate in his manners, has uniformly and effectively thrown the whole weight of his official character and patronage into the scale of opposition. In all these measures it is understood that he has the concurrence of Lieutenant-Governor Robbins. And both of them have the support of that party, who, in Massachusetts are denominated the Essex Juno, and, in other states, the Hamiltonian faction.
It is time, then, to rise above those local prejudices, and personal attachments, which have heretofore too much prevailed, and to express our political sentiments, by placing in the executive department of our government men who are friendly to the government of the Union. Our state constitution, more rational in this respect than that of the United States has heretofore been, provides for a discrimination of the votes given for the first and the second offices of government, and thereby secures an opportunity for a fair expression of the elective will of the people, without danger of perversion through accident or intrigue. We may safely and understandingly avail ourselves of this republican provision at the approaching election.
With a view to such an union and concert, as are necessary to give efficacy to our exertions, we have conferred on the subject with gentlemen from all the respective counties, and enquired the sentiments of our republican brethren generally throughout the Commonwealth; and, as the result of our enquiries, we take the liberty to recommend, for the office of Governor, the
HON. JAMES SULLIVAN, Esq. of Boston, whom you have generally seen and heard and personally known, as a Judge of the Supreme Judicial Court, and Attorney General; whose means of acquaintance with the various interests of the Commonwealth, the candidates for appointments in the different counties, & the people at large, have probably been superior to those of any other man; whose moral character, talents and personal qualifications for the office are universally acknowledged, and whose place of residence is perfectly convenient in the centre of the Commonwealth, at the seat of government, where the public offices are kept, and the public business must be transacted. And, for the office of Lieutenant-Governor, the
HON. WILLIAM HEATH, Esq. of Roxbury, a distinguished patriot and republican, whose merits are too well known to need any recommendation. These two gentlemen are supporters of the present national administration. Their election, of course, will sanction and support the measures of that administration, promote the republican cause generally, restore the interrupted harmony between our government and that of the U. States, and regain our forfeited influence and respectability in the Union. The question regards principles rather than men. It is not a competition between JAMES SULLIVAN and CALEB STRONG, but between Republicans and Federalists, between the present and the former system of national government. As many of you as are in favor of the stamp act, the excise, the land tax, the additional grade of Circuit judges with their intervening salaries, a provisional army, a multiplication of foreign ministers, alien and sedition acts, 8 per cent loans, insurrections, Indian wars, hostilities with France and Spain for a right of deposit at New-Orleans, in preference to the peaceable possession of the Mississippi and all Louisiana at a fair purchase, an increasing and irredeemable public debt, and a progressive change of our government to hereditary aristocracy and monarchy; they who wish for a restoration of this systematic train of anglo-federal mea-
suces, will consistently support the federal candidates: But those of you, who are of a different opinion and prefer the republican system now in successful operation, will, in order to be consistent, personally attend the annual meetings and give your votes for the republican candidates for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, and also for Senators of your several counties, and Representatives of your respective towns.

To the Citizens of New-Hampshire—
FELLOW-CITIZENS, THE great men, who reigned in those inauspicious years which preceded the present administration, were for vailing their politics in clouds of thick darkness, and were ready to exclaim from their holy place, against any who should presume to explore their myseries, or enquire into their proceedings, in language like that of the heathen priests & priestesses of old; "Procul, O procul este profani!"
Stand afar off, and keep your distance, ye vulgar profane wretches!
The great system of government is beyond your comprehension. Your business is to hear and obey our sovereign mandates. Fools that ye were, to imagine yourselves capable of comprehending or of administering council to us in the affairs of government! Upon us alone depends your political salvation. We take upon ourselves the arduous task of governing you, or you would destroy yourselves. To us then, leave the affairs of State, and mind your own proper business; nor dare utter a murmuring word.
Happily for America, those self-important beings were suddenly arrested in their mad career, and precipitated from the heights to which they had climbed. Yet they are not without some faint hopes of recovering the ground they have lost, and are in perpetual exertion to injure the character of the People, and (absurd and ridiculous as it is) would yet persuade them to believe that they are too wild, savage and irrational to be capable of self-government. Can any of you, Fellow-Citizens, subscribe to the debasing character bestowed on the People by the Federal leaders, representing them as ignorant, savage, and "themselves their own worst enemies?" If so then they are indeed like beasts to be awed and tamed to a servile subjection. Such doctrine which some had the effrontery to utter on the floor of Congress, has been industriously propagated throughout the Union. What an uncommon degree of patience must have been exercised, in the grand assembly of the nation, to endure the insulting language and vile jargon of those vaunting orators! Learning and rhetoric would have been forever dishonoured, had it not been for the contrast exhibited of Republican eloquence, flowing in mild, but sublime and majestic strains, and defeating every purpose of those high-minded gentry, who imagined themselves destined to be the lords of the American world. It highly becomes you, Fellow-Citizens, to exert all your powers to destroy the poisonous influence of those malignant vipers, who are still employing every diabolical stratagem to undermine and overthrow the noble fabric of Liberty the world ever beheld—a fabric reared by the best and wisest of men, to the astonishment and admiration of the surrounding nations. You, Fellow-Citizens, who have been led into error by the federal and tory declaimers, pay a due attention to the addresses presented to you in this and the preceding Gazettes. In which the most important truths are laid before you, evincing the necessity of a change of Public Officers, and pointing out to you the men worthy of your confidence. The aspersions on the character of Col. LANGDON, are shewn to be as false as they are malicious. The endeavours to depreciate his virtues, genius and abilities merit only your contempt. He is a Citizen of unblemished character, and his talents are known to be equal to the highest offices either in the State or the Union: Such are they considered by the wisest and most discerning men of our country, and if you faithfully recollect the eloquence he displayed, when pleading his country's cause at the commencement of our contest with Great-Britain, and the wisdom and prudence with which then and ever since he has conducted, you cannot fail of uniting with them in their sentiments of a man so deservedly esteemed—and must be thence induced to give in your votes for him for Governor, as, likewise for the Citizens recommended to you for the other important offices in the Government. As for those unprincipled beings, who are swayed by sordid self-interest, or those who are impelled like beasts by fear—let them herd with their federal masters, and share with them that recompence of their irrational conduct which awaits them.
FELLOW-CITIZENS, you assemble this day to choose your State Officers. Be united as one man, and you will acquire glory and honor and restore this State to its former respectability. Realise the importance of the duties before you, to the prosperity and happiness of your country. Despise the low arts and fulsome solicitations of the enemies of our Government, and act with that firmness which becomes American Freemen.
A FRIEND to the PEOPLE.
For the GAZETTE.
THE CONVENTION.
TO PECUS-O PROFONDO.—UNDER this head, in a tory print, it has been convenient to introduce two scraps, in different paragraphs; by some wool headed, or blanket headed mop, and disparage the political information of an Independent Citizen. To dispose of the correctness of my authority; I received a communication from Washington, through one of the most able, active, and intelligent Members on the floor of Congress, a well known, first rate, from republican—"that Col. JOHN LANGDON was intended for Vice President—that Breckenridge, from Kentucky, Baldwin, from Georgia, Smith, from Maryland, Lincoln, Granger, and Clinton, were also mentioned. The preponderancy lay with Clinton and Langdon, if they would accept. The friends of the several candidates created a discordancy in opinion about the respective persons for that office; but that John Langdon was intended. I will now hazard a conjecture without going further—that the certainty of Col. Langdon's accepting or declining that office, was not established until his political friends heard from him. And that was a few weeks previous to the meeting in Washington, when, and not till then, it was fully ascertained he was to be Vice-President. The contents of this letter were mentioned to Col. Langdon. The material parts were then known to him; the purport and object of the communication was new; to establish the authenticity of my declaration, that I wrote from authority, not conjecture—it can now be certified at the Printing Office, for when any thing like an imposition on the public is presumed to be fixed upon me—particularly as the disclosure cannot now operate—I will notice it. I therefore am correct, and have no other claim but truth to political knowledge, modest or not—the public will doubtless judge who are the ignorant, and who are misinformed. I should not have given this information, unless the tory prints were misinforming the public that Col. Langdon was actually fixed "by the Virginia Junto (as they politely express public measures) on Langdon;" and I tho't it my duty to correct the misinformation—and now examine the words and sense that amuses the ignorant so much! It is clear Col. L. was intended—that there was the discordancy mentioned, and is the very word used in the letter. No human being could know whether he would accept or not—then it was uncertain—and until that was established, and the meeting took place, how could it be fully ascertained that he was to be the candidate ultimately fixed upon?—O Wool-head—Wool-head—whoever you are! vile Pecus.
"Lord, what care I for mam or dad," "Why let them cold or bellow!" "For while I live I'll love my dad," "He's such a charming fellow!"
It seems convenient too, for this tory print to introduce me as one of the fellows belonging to the Grand Convention—the equivocal use of this polite or impolite term may be shewn by the few lines quoted; but as used here, is highly characteristic of the supposed real author, 'Squintum'; a good fellow, an honest fellow! it is common, but when Squintum writes of ugly fellows—Ritum teneat! I don't know that I am uglier than Squintum: let us trace these fellows—his quite amusing I agree. First he sees a set of fellows somewhere in the night—his idea was, that they were an ugly set of fellows. Observe it was night—to identify whether they were ugly or not—he has no idea of the modesty of such fellows; that was for being seen out at night at Concord—from thence he infers they were immodest—he is mighty certain; there I was staggered about this author—till I was convinced another gentleman has masqued his stile under this close phraseology, to prevent detection like the thieves he mentions to be of the convention—and to be up with him, I find some writer has taken my stile in his short but happy address to Judge Squintum; from my literary scholastic habit I am not accustomed to sport with authorities, judicial or otherwise; and I really wonder if the convention was composed of the honorable the Members of the Legislature, how they can be ranked among thieves! Besides, we are bookworms and authors, and we have a sort of sneaking partiality for one another, like freemasons; politics are out of the question; we can give and take a joke, it is only an electioneering trick! He goes on with Dr. Goddard, (who I believe knew as little of the convention as I did, or the republicans did at Washington, or any where else, but at Concord) he says he is never to see the worthy men, yet he is desirous of seeing his fellows—Here it must be complimentary in the equivocal use of the word "for he must be a worthy man I need to be seen in company with such a fellow as Squintum!!"—And this must be the compliment he pays the fellow who deserves to be blanketed, that is, "kept warm this cold season!" Oh, Wool-head! not content with this term fellow twenty times in his hotch-potch production; in the next tory paper out comes the furious epithet again. This fellow (the same synonymous leary dition) is perfectly politic in sparing a comparison between Col. L. and Gov. G. Instead of politic you should have written polite, and you would have been right. Go to the Priests, and look at the manuscript * you will there see I struck out the word demerits, as it applied to Gov. G. politically, fearing that he should take it personally, and then search the files and see if I ever dropped a word that ought to offend Gov. G. I have been treated with the greatest politeness by that gentleman; he shall never experience ought else from me. He will excuse me for not approving of his administration, whilst I know it to be the adminis-
tration of tories—And then we shall entirely agree. But Mr. Pecus-o, alias Wool-head, look to your law-books for your "negative Pregnant;" have I not thereby charged him with coalescing with the old tories? And is not that enough to contrail their merits? Have I not negatively inferred that a man can scarcely be thought an honest man, who can be the dupe and tool of such fellows, to use your own words, not mine. And yet my personal esteem for Gov. G. apart from his wretched politics, would prevent the pain of offending him. Now, Mr. Pecus-o Profundo, for your profound aphorism.—Now, lawyer, again—Quere—"Take the merit from any man's character, and what are his principles?"—You must be a lunatic as well as a Wool-head, if rendered into sense or nonsense—"Take the moon from its orbit, and where is the sun." I repeat—Cautus qui felix.—I recommend you not to appear again.

*The manuscript alluded to has the words "merits of Col. L. or demerits of Gov. G." which I struck out as above, to avoid personality, and beg the tory prints will do the same—and leave off flitting us federal republican, jacobins.
*When you quote me again, please to quote me correctly: I am a more correct writer than your profundity can discover; my words were "without respect to the man" only, but the "principle"—which emphatical execution of "only," in sense with your quibbling, sophistical supposito veri, or propaganda falsi, you have for electioneering trickery left out. Shame! shame! blush! blush! Pecus, Latin for sheep, or wool head.
Profundo, mock Italian for profound. Federal republicans, please to petulize the two last Quotations of the 3d and 10th inst. and the N. H. Gazette of the 6th, for a key to this hotch-potch production.
Late Foreign Intelligence.
By an arrival at Boston.
GERMANY.
VIENNA, DEC. 24, 1803.
WITHIN these few days several Couriers have arrived from Paris to the French Minister Champaigny; and it is remarked, that on each arrival the French Ambassador has immediately very long conferences with our Minister for Foreign Affairs, Count Cobentzel. Our differences with the Bavarian Court were on the point of being adjusted, but the Elector has just taken possession of some Ecclesiastical Districts.—Our Minister at the Bavarian Court has received orders to make representations against that transaction.
PARIS, JAN. 18.
"General Nogues is returned to Paris. He left London a few days ago. He had been taken prisoner at St. Lucie, where there were only 400 men. He was ignorant of the declaration of war, when the English Gen. Grinfeld, disembarked 6,000 troops. He sustained an assault on a morne, repulsed the English three times, killed a great number of them, and particularly the Officer whom they had intended to make Governor of the Island.
"The English General had granted Gen. Nogues a cartel to return to France; but the English cruisers sent him to England. He was a long time detained in the small towns. He was astonished, beyond the power of expression at the gross and barbarous prejudices which had been inculcated into the minds of the people against the French. The people, when they spoke of them, always called them French dogs; and all the absurdities which the journals contain, are readily believed by the public. What a difference between the civilization of the people of France, Germany, and Italy, and the civilization of the people of England!
"As to their public spirit, fear was at its highest pitch; and the number of the discontented at an improvident Government, which has had no other resource than that of arming the whole of its population, was daily increasing.
"Peace was ardently desired by all classes of the nation, even by several of the Princes. Gen. Nogues dined at Bristol with the Duke of Cumberland, who was in the war in Germany against the French. The Prince entertained no doubt but the French could land in England; and in the course of conversation expressed his opinion to be in favor of fighting en masse.
"Penury began to be every where felt.—Even the Navy felt the want of a great number of articles. The land forces, with the exception of the Guards and troops of the line, were nothing but ridiculous caricature. One third were armed with muskets, and the other two thirds with pikes."
Moniteur.
LIVERPOOL, FEB. 2.
A Hamburg Mail has arrived since our last, but brought no news of importance.
Accounts from Leghorn mention, that that place is no longer in a state of siege, but is restored to its former neutrality. It is even believed, that English ships will be permitted to enter its harbour.
An article from the Hague mentions, that the Flushing squadron is ready to sail, the troops being embarked.
Paris Journals to the 20th inst. inclusive, are also received. The important part of their contents is the annual expose by the Government, of the
situation of the Republic. It is similar to all the previous manifestoes from the same quarter. In viewing the situation of France, her finances, her revenue, &c. are all flourishing. On looking to England, the political telescope is not only reversed, but the glasses are darkened, as if to enable weak eyes to gaze at the sun! Our forces are said to be weak—our people discontented—and even our navy is said to be starved, in consequence of the parsimony and improvidence of our Ministers. It is extraordinary that the article does not contain a single word on the subject of invasion. The distracted state of the Turkish Empire is alluded to, and a kind of promise given that France will support that decaying power.
BY THE LAST MAILS.
From St. DOMINGO.
By an arrival at New York from Aux-Cayes, we learn, that on the 21st January, about 70 white inhabitants were massacred by the blacks, and thrown into the river, in revenge for the injuries the blacks had received. At Port-au-Prince the powder magazine had been blown up, supposed by the whites; and that in consequence all the white inhabitants, excepting five or six, had been put to death.
The opposition prints have, for some time past, been endeavouring to inflame the public mind on an alleged misunderstanding between our government and that of Great-Britain, in relation to the treaty of 1794. It having been long since predicted by their political opponents, that the present administration would soon involve the country in a war with that nation, the slightest suggestion of a want of harmony on negotiations, said to be depending, was seized with eagerness, and made the foundation of a story, charging the Executive with the pursuit of measures, which being considered by England hostile to her commercial interests, would necessarily tend to embroil the two countries. This wonderful story, with all its alarming appendages has been founded from one end of the nation to the other, on the vague authority of a loose article in an English print. As this is the only foundation on which it rests, we offer to the public the following Extract from the London Morning Herald of the 15th November, three days later than the date of the article which appears to have occasioned it. And we offer this extract as a full and satisfactory refutation of the misrepresentation of those statements to which it is meant as a reply. The proof in both cases, is newspaper proof, and one is as good as the other.
"A rumour has been afloat for the last three days, of some differences between this country and America, respecting the interpretation of some Articles of the Treaty concluded in 1794. It has been taken up by some of our cotemporaries in such a manner as to induce a belief that a rupture between the two countries was at no great distance. It is, therefore, with the utmost satisfaction that we find ourselves empowered to state, from the first authority, that there is not any dispute, or even a question of difference subsisting between the two countries.—America feels as she ought to do upon the present occasion, and we are authorised to add, that there never has been a greater degree of cordiality between England and the United States, since the ratification of American Independence, than that which exists at the present moment."
The first surmise respecting the persons to be supported by the federal interest at the approaching presidential election, we have met with in the Virginia Gazette—according to this paper Mr. King and Mr. Pinckney are to be the candidates, the first for the presidency and the last for the vice-presidency: it is added that the choice will be as acceptable to the Carolinians as to the people of the eastern states it is not improbable that the southern federalists will gladly support Mr. Pinckney when it is recollected that he was some time since chosen President of a jockey club, but whether this will be a recommendation to the people of steady habits is at least problematical.
Aurora.
We understand that the republican nomination of candidates for the presidency and vice-presidency of the United States, to be supported next October, will speedily be made. The only difficulty, which it is presumed can prevent itself, will be the choice of the person for vice-president who will be most likely to obtain the greatest share of public support: it has been intimated that the present governor of New-York, Mr. Clinton, will be the candidate, and we think it probable; previous to our former election, he had been nominated as vice-president, and had he consented to serve would no doubt have been elected, his declining at that time afforded the opportunity for placing Mr. Burr on the ticket.—ib.

Portsmouth. TUESDAY, MARCH 13, 1804.
SUMMARY—FOREIGN.
THE Liverpool trading ship Pack- et, Trott, nineteen days only from Li- verpool, has brought London papers to the 14th and Liverpool accounts to the 16th ultimo. Some misunder- standing seems to have taken place in England between the volunteer corps and the ministry; the first claiming the right of electing their officers— the right of resignation and disappro- ving the system of the imposition and enforcement of fines. Accounts from Malaga of the 21st December, state that the Epidemic which had carried off between 7 and 8000 persons had ceased. Private letters received in London from Vienna mention, that a close alliance between the Imperial Ca- binets was on the point of conclusion. The Russian ambassador, Count Mar- kow, dined tete-a-tete with the Empe- ror. Toward the middle of Decem- ber and within a few days several Couriers arrived at Vienna from Paris, to the French Minister Champagny; on each arrival the French Ambassa- dor has immediately long conferences with their Minister for foreign affairs count Cobentzel. The differences be- tween the court of Vienna and the Ba- varian court were on the point of be- ing adjusted, but the elector has taken possession of some ecclesiastical dis- tricts. Representation by the minister of Vienna at the Bavarian Court are directed to be made against that trans- action. The Emperor of Russia, has made application to the French gov- ernment for the evacuation of Hanover and at the same time required that an indemnification should be allotted to the King of Sardinia, which if not complete, should at least amount to one third part of the value of the states he had lost, and that this indemnifica- tion should be assigned him on the Continent of Italy. The Court of Vienna, at the invitation of that of St. Petersburg, supported both these pro- positions. Buonaparte has refused compliance with either of these de- mands. Preparations are actively car- rying on in all the naval departments of Spain, and but with a few excep- tions, all naval officers are ordered to repair to their respective stations. Pa- ris papers contain the intelligence of some new disturbances in La Vendee having broken out. It gives an ac- count of a skirmish in which twenty of the Brigands were killed and ten made prisoners. Measures have been adopt- ed for their suppression. They write from Marcellies that an expedition had sailed from thence, thought to be de- stined for Martinico. The English Gen- eral Baird was taken, with his staff, by Le Vaillant French privateer, in a prize, on his voyage from St. Helena. A report prevailed at Paris, that the King of Spain, on the 9th Dec. was struck with an apoplectic fit, and was in danger. Accounts from Holland state that Admiral Story and two captains of the navy, have been broke, declared infamous, and banished the Republic, for having surrendered the Dutch fleet on the 11th Octo. 1799. The inhabitants of that country, as appears from their own papers, are re- duced to the utmost indigence, and withal divided amongst themselves. The provincial government of Hol- land have refused to obey the man- dates of the directory. It is said that, the Emperor of Russia has ordered a- nother levy of troops to the number of 80,000 and to this is added that he is inimical to the French. The Danes have suffered much in their trade since the shutting of the Elbe and Weser— that of Holstein is thereby augment- ed. Tonningen is become in a man- ner a staple port for all goods sent to Germany; the high roads are full of waggons with goods, and the want of sufficient store houses at that place, for- ces the merchants to forward the goods the faster from the vessels that bring them; respectable merchants are set- tled at Tonningen, and the welfare of the inhabitants are greatly encreas- ing. A number of troops are actually em- barked at Boulogne. The French have carried away the celebrated bor- ing machine in the cannon foundry at Hanover, the value of which is esti- mated at two millions of florins.
DOMESTIC.
Intelligence has been received of the loss of the United States frigate Phi- ladelphia, Capt. Bainbridge, of 44 guns and 350 men. No particulars that can be depended upon as authentic have come to hand yet. A rejoin passed the Le- gislature of Massachusetts, granting 60,000 dollars to the agents of the Com- monwealth, for building the State Prison. —On the 22d. ult. a fire broke out in Norfolk, (Virginia,) and consumed 305 buildings.—The store of Mr. Samuel Porter, of Freeport, with goods to the amount of above 3000 dollars, and a handsome dwelling-house, belonging to Mr. John B. Lane, were destroyed by fire on the 28th. ult.—At Charleston, (S. C.) a fire took place on the 12th of
February, and consumed two large stores, full of Cotton and Rice.—At Falmouth, (N. S.) in January last, the house of Mr. Jonathan Masters, was destroyed by fire; and Mr. M. and his eldest daughter perished in the flames.—On Saturday last, a brig at the Long-wharf Boston, was discovered to be on fire. It was however extinguished before it had occasioned much damage. The bill for establishing a new Bank in Philadelphia, has been passed by the Legislature of Pen- sylvania.—The Vice-President of the United States returned to Washington, the 22d. ult.—The Senate of the United States has requested the President to make certain communications on the sub- ject of the existing war with Tripoli.— —Dr. Caldwell of Philadelphia, has been appointed to deliver an eulogium on Dr. Priestly.—The New-York Thea- tre has been shut, for want of encourage- ment.—The expenses of the city of Baltimore, for the year 1803, amounted to near 80,000 dollars.—A new Bank, under the title of the Union Bank of Maryland, is about to be established in Baltimore; its capital is to consist of 3 millions of dollars.
To the INHABITANTS of this town. Fellow Citizens,
BEHOLD the day in which it be- hoves every individual to be guided by those principles, and to exert those means that will ultimately conduce to their individual security, and the pro- sperity of the nation. Behold the day on which you are called upon to elect State Officers. You Fellow-Citizens, are not unacquainted with the evils that have been heaped upon you, un- der the abominable reign of a John A- dams, and are not less apprised that the government of this State is swayed by a vast number of persons, firmly and from principle attached to that reign, and bound to aid its cause. If under the administration of a John A- dams you have had cause to complain —if a standing army was raised, with no other design than to command o- bedience, from the subject to the man- dates of despotic rulers—if various heavy and burdensome taxes have been imposed upon you, for no other pur- pose than to disable you from making (when dire necessity should require it,) effectual resistance to secure your rights & privileges—if a sedition law was in- tended to abrogate your prerogatives, and to compel you tamely to submit to ambitious rulers, though they were planning your destruction—if you have witnessed this and much more; will you still persist in upholding them? Does not Governor Gilman still approve of all the evils we have mentioned and that have been reprobated by a large majority throughout the Union? Are not most offices throughout the State, filled up by a federal or tory faction. And notwithstanding all this are ye content to remain the dupes of this fac- tion? Will you still persevere in hast- ening your own ruin? Rather arouse from your delirium and nobly shake off the empire of prejudice! Let rea- son resume her dominion over you and be your guide! Reflect on the inev- itable ruin that awaits you, should you still suffer Monarchical principles, un- der the cloak of what is termed fed- eralism by Tories to creep into your gov- ernment. If you are convinced that you have now reason to believe you were in an error, in advocating the present government of this State, let not an ill placed shame prevent your making the acknowledgement, but ra- ther determine to rise superior to these petty prejudices. It rests with you to remedy all the evils to which you are subject by judiciously appointing those whom you know to be friends to the Constitution and consequently to the people. Such Fellow-Citizens we are persuaded are those gentlemen who form the Republican Ticket. Give them your suffrages and thus reinstate yourselves in the good opinion of your sister states from whom you have a- postatized. Remember it is the duty of republicans to persevere, and to re- member that victory can only be at- chieved by steady and unremitting ex- ertion.

An extract from the Courier inserted in the last Oracle says, "We now be- feech the Federalists of New Hampshire, to awake, and cast about them for ex- pedients to crush this growing monster, be- fore it assumes a shape still more formida- ble, and acquires strength still more ir- resistable." What "monster," the editor has left untold; but we are willing to take his meaning. Well that "monster" is "formidable," and its "strength ir- resistable." Pray Mr. editor will you tell us what rendered this "monster" "so formidable" and "irresistable?" You answer, the voice of the People. Granted; and yet you call upon them to destroy the fabric they themselves have built; for that is the purport of your judicious address to the Citizens of New-Hampshire. Did you consider when you besought the public to crush the mon- ster you spoke of, that you were requiring impossibilities? It is truly laughable to call upon the People to "crush"—what? an "irresistable monster." Upon what terms? only to favour the petty tyrants of this State, (Federalists) at the ex- pence of their own happiness and wealth. This is admirably well planned. How- ever "the character of the Courier may be rescued" from the imputation of listlessness and inattention, we are persuaded it will ever be branded with folly, inconsistency, and vile attempts to alienate the affection of the People from their best interests. We leave the editor and the transcribers to enjoy that con- tempt and ridicule they so officiously court.
THE CONVENTION.
An Oracle writer asks, why then are we treated as children? We answer be- cause you are still in leading-strings— we mean those of Federalism. "Why are teachers set over us to learn (we im- agine he intended to have said teach) us how to regulate our affairs." For this reason—that being in leading-strings, you might not be left without a guide, whose counsel and admission would form and reform you. "Why are we not left to make an unassisted choice of Legis- lators?" Whenever it shall be made to appear that this freedom is not "left" you, we shall be ready to present you with our answer to your last question. Should these answers meet with the approbation of the Oracle writer, he need not fear in a similar case again to apply, as we shall ever be ready to comply with the wishes of our friends.
COMMUNICATION.
Well done! Stephen Moody and John Ham. What warm champions ye are for the cause of truth! To re- fute one pretended falsehood ye assert another; You say the celebration at Gilmanton, did not take place?— Palpable falsehood this! In this you could not be mistaken; but would it not be possible where a large concourse of people are assembled to be deceived as to the individuals that were pre- sent? Well say you, but we are ac- knowledged Tories—I mistake, you say Federalists. True; but we are willing to believe you have seen the "evil of your ways," and if your re- pentance was sincere we should have been ready to honour you with an in- corporation; as it is, it will be pru- dent to keep you at a distance, for "one shabby sheep may spoil the flock." We mean it would take from its credit to admit them. Then did we say? and we spoke but of one sheep? Dreadful mistake! but you will pardon us; you two engrossed the whole of our attention at the mo- ment we wrote.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Lisbon, dated Jan. 16, 1804.
"You have doubtless heard the news that arrived here yesterday, of the loss of the Frigate Philadelphia, which ran ashore near Tripoli, and was taken by a number of gallies of that nation. The ship was got off, and with the crew have arrived at Tripoli. We have not heard the par- ticulars."
The House of Strobel and Martini, at Bordeaux, has failed for three mil- lion and an half of francs.
A Communication signed "Doctor Tod" and addressed to "Squintum" a writer in the "Oracle," has come to hand. We la- ment that the lateness of the hour at which we received it, prevents its insertion. To know it in our next, would we imagine, not answer the intention of the writer.
"Squintum" a writer in the "Or- acle" abounds so much with quitting and criticism that we fear it would be attacking him on the weak side to re- fute his writings by arguments. We fear to take the advantage of any man, beast or brute and will treat "Squintum" accordingly. ill-timed wit de- serves to be treated with silent contempt.
Liberal Donation. —The trustees of the corporation of Kingston, (on Long- Island, N. Y.) with a munificence which reflects the highest credit on their public spirit, have subscribed property to the amount of 25,000 dol- lars, contemplated to be established in the village. The total subscriptions already amount to near 32,000 dol- lars.
