Declaration of Independence.
In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. A DECLARATION By the Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled. 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 consent of the governed:—That when, ever 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 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, and 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 depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of 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 danger of invasion from without and convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration 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 dependant 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: For 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 neighbouring 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 fall 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 undistinguished 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 native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections 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 allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection 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 lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. Signed by order and in behalf of the Congress. JOHN HANCOCK, President.
The advices from Europe, such as they are, have now had their run, unchecked by detection, and unconverted by any resort to reasoning or animadversion. The floods of imposture have been poured in upon the country from British newspapers so often, that the gazettes of Britain have become proverbial for their falsehood, as the Brussels Gazette was about forty years ago. Within three months we have had advices through British newspapers in England and America, that our ambassador at Paris 1. Had been grossly insulted by Bonaparte, and told there should be no neutrals, and that gen. Armstrong was in discredit at that court. The next dispatches for government shewed that there was not a word of truth in this British news. 2. Next we were told, that Mr. Armstrong had quitted Paris failing to obtain redress for some alleged grievance. The next advices received by government shewed that Mr. Armstrong was at Paris, and so far from any difference having arisen, the absence of the chief of the government had suspended diplomatic business. 3. The next news was, that the Otago had been seized and confiscated, and that Mr. Nourse would not be permitted to carry his dispatches to England. But unfortunately for those whose food is falsehood, the next arrival shews that the detention of the Otago was by our minister, and a necessary measure on his part. 4. The last of this news from Britain was, that general Armstrong was put under an arrest in the temple—and passports refused to Americans who sought to return home, & this at a special order of Bonaparte. Now as at the period this last news is dated from, Bonaparte was in Spain, and unless by a miraculous speaking trumpet or telegraph, no discourse could have occurred, to produce any such conduct, if such conduct were at all likely to be pursued. These lies, however frequent and however gross, are swallowed by many; and they answer in that degree the purpose of their invention—their object is to divert the attention of the public from the outrages of Great Britain, and by rendering the French government odious, divide the national feelings between a common sentiment of detestation, and thereby enfeeble the national energy in resisting the only aggressor of America, the sole disturber of the world. It is a solemn truth which experience past as well as future will prove, that in relation to the nations of Europe, we have no cause of complaint, but what has proceeded from Great Britain; and that we have no cause to apprehend any misunderstanding of the slightest kind, but what springs from the same source. To the power that rules the continent of Europe, every thinking man must perceive that the whole revenue of America, if it could be procured by a war, would not be an object worth either the expence or the risks. Every man must know that in a military or a naval view, we could neither afford armies nor fleets as allies, and that our alliance could not therefore be an object of request to a military power. Excepting then the only remaining motive which exists upon hypothesis. That France has been and is governed by a lust of conquest alone— There is no other motive that could induce or produce war excepting indeed that we should enter into alliance with our oppressor—tamely submit to the dishonor of our flag—overlook the murder of our citizens—wink at the improvements of those already put into bondage—consent to become once more the vassals and subjects of our ancient tyrant—abandon independence—proclaim the absurdity of free commerce—and huzzah for the sovereign of the ocean; in this desperate case indeed, that we should be at war with France there can be no doubt, pay that we should be at war with all the world—and with common sense. This case, however, is rather too absurd, though there are hundreds among us who would be proud to see it; as to the other case, of the passion of conquest,—on this point we entertain some opinions which render it as ridiculous as the idea of our entering into an alliance with England.

POLITICAL.
From the AURORA.
FEDERALISM DISPLAYED.
OF TEN has it been charged against federalism that the leaders were the enemies of the form and substance of free governments—but it is now proved to demonstrate. Every thing possible, short of violence, is now being done and saying to defeat the measures of the government; to evade, to clamor at, and abuse the embargo are highly meritorious with federalists. Yes, these hypocritical friends of order and good government, who preached "support the government," under Adams, are bellowing against and belied the government and every department thereof.
The embargo is a substitute for war, and is as effectual a warfare against both England and France for their ill treatment of our neutral rights, as they are carrying on against each other—that is, France and England are carrying on no other warfare against each other, than an embargo or blockade of each other's ports; it is a trial at who can do best without commerce, and in doing this, both shut us out of their ports, but invite us to their own; the consequence is, nothing is safe; what the one would let pass, the other would make prize; our state, is therefore as much a state of indirect war as theirs is that of direct war, and the effects the same so far as relates to commerce. In this state of things it so happens that America (now the only neutral) possesses and has wielded as powerful an implement of war, as either nation can possess or use, that is, to refuse all commerce with either, to refuse both the supplies so necessary to their existence—and at the same time, has averted actual or direct war, the very expense of preparing for which, would amount to a sum equal to all that could be gained by an unrestrained commerce.
The wisdom of the measure is manifest to every discerning man, and the honest disinterested federalists all acknowledge it. But as being the measure of the government, and a substitute for war, it is as much the duty of real friends to, or subjects of the government, to support it, as a support war, had it been declared, as might justly have been done; and it is as treasonable in principle, for citizens of this government to aid or assist the enemy by evading the measure, as to defeat the arms of the nation in war, by giving aid and comfort to the enemy, or bringing to disgrace their troops or resources.
If we with to avoid actual war with either nation, and preserve the appearance of honor, the embargo alone can do it. If we with to hasten the period of unrestrained commerce, which can never take place until one or the other of these warring nations shall yield to this war of wants, then the embargo should be strictly enforced. If we with to throw our weight in the scale of European commercial questions, and rise to the dignity of arbiters among belligerents, we should patiently submit to the embargo as more powerful than a navy of fifty ships of the line. A navy could not force a barrel of flour or bag of cotton on the continent, nor compel Britain to yield the right of search, while its expense would sink the nation into irredeemable debt, and tempt whoever rules the ocean, to make war for the sole purpose of destroying its growth, or to seize it by surprise for fear it would be turned against them.
These things are so obvious to every man of sense, that we ought to view as deadly enemies to our free government, every man who clamors against the embargo—they are indeed generally the same men who, when in power, passed laws to restrain liberty, to encrease burdens, and augment the national debt—they then trumpeted, "millions for defence, not a cent for tribute," and now want to bring the whole commerce of the nation as tributary as it was while colonies of England. No doubt but many have no more in view than a recovery of power, and suppose by seizing on this occasion, they can persuade the people to entrust them again; but it is impossible the people can be so blind to their interest.
I will not dwell on this subject, by attempting to prove what time only can make plain. Should it produce due respect to our flag, every body will then see it was as effectual as if a war, which plunged the nation 20,000,000 a year in debt, had produced it. Should it not, it will only fail as the war commenced by England to humble these colonies, and that to humble France has done, but with this difference, that though the embargo is a privation of wealth, it incurs no debt, either on the nation or individuals, and should the government choose to put an end to it, they will not have to treat with any other nation about it, as would be the case with peace.
It is also worthy of remark and recollection—that it is no French measure, as the enemies of the government pretend. It is as severe a warfare on France as is in the power of
federalists themselves to invent. We can neither go to France, nor Frenchmen come to us, hence it is impossible to make any other war on them than what the embargo produces. Bonaparte said we ought to go to, and were at war with England; and we send him an embargo law. On the other hand, it is not the severest war we could wage with England: we could take Canada and privateer on her commerce; but a wise man would not lose a year of peace (which treating for it would require if once broke) for Canada, and perhaps have to give it back for sake of peace.
On the whole it is evident it is the wisest and best measure which the wisest and best men in the nation could devise at this time, and let it turn out as it will, it is no foolisher than that which Pitt and Bonaparte have and still are pressing at the greatest nations on earth for wisdom and resources.
What do federalists want, and what will they give you reader? They want a navy, for you there to support their sons and cousins, with eight per cent. loans and taxes; and they will make you pay taxes to Britain under orders of council, to get clear of which your fathers supported a seven years war.
Republican Celebrations.
MONDAY, the fourth instant, being the commencement of the 32d anniversary of American Independence, was celebrated by the associated Republican citizens of Boston and Charlestown, with a spirit suitable to the great occasion.
A large procession moved towards Charlestown forming a junction on the bridge, with the citizens of that town. When the processions met on the bridge, (at the draw) the efforts wheeled by platoons on the right and left backward, and remained in open order with presented arms, music playing: at the same time salutes were fired by Capt. Binney's Artillery, on Copp's Hill, and Capt. Blanchard's on Bunker's Hill. The procession from Charlestown passed through the efforts, and formed on the right of the procession from Boston. The escort was then composed of the Washington Infantry, Capt. Smith's Company, the Charlestown Light Infantry, and Capt. Howe's Company of Fusiliers, under command of Captain Loring. The procession moved through the principal streets of Charlestown,—and arrived at a spacious tent on the memorable Hill of Bunker, where upwards of Five Hundred persons were amply and agreeably entertained.—In consequence of the patriotism displayed on this occasion, and with a view to the future celebration of the Glorious Anniversary of AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE, it was agreed to style the assembly, THE BUNKER HILL ASSOCIATION.
After dinner, the following Toasts were given:

FOURTH OF JULY, 1808.
This glorious and memorable epoch of our dear and blood bought independence was celebrated by a respectable company of young and middle aged American citizens of Portsmouth, who, not being insensible to the auspices of the day, were prompted with strong inducement to display their patriotism on a water excursion. A social band of brothers (after making choice of Mr. Christopher Rhimes, President; and Mr. B. Hill, Vice-President of the day) did with animated hearts arrange themselves in order, and with that glad reception which the voice of liberty can alone stimulate to such strict attention, gave audience to the reading of that invaluable instrument, the Declaration of Independence , by Capt. John Billings, who (after several appropriate songs mix'd with the emotions of joy and magnanimity were sung) in a manly and masterly style, fraught with congenial sentiments, pronounced an oration, which for good sense and patriotism, all gave their assent; and furthermore was calculated to arouse mankind from that remissness and supor into which they too often fall; and to call forth the best exertions which the present crisis enjoins, as an obligation on all concerned in the public good, for which our illustrious Sages and Heroes by unremitting vigour and assiduous endeavors, did, in scenes of blood, battle, and difficulty effectuate, and thereby laid the foundation and example of good, equal, generous, and Representative Government ; which alone can concentrate the wishes, and tranquillize the minds of freemen.
 1. The day we celebrate —May it be commemorated by every American, so long as the blessings intended by it are maintained and enjoyed.  2. Thomas Jefferson —May the sun which ripen'd his laurels, and led him through the rugged path of life, conduct him in his own time to a calm and tranquil retirement, and then may his resignation from the service of public life be succeeded by one who will endeavour to emulate his virtues, and assimilate his political principles.  3. The Governor of the State of New-Hampshire —May his firm principles be forever perpetuated by every true American, until wars and rumours of wars shall cease, and foreign dupes become good and honest citizens.  4. The United States of America —May its independence continue until the final catastrophe of all nature.  5. The memory of Washington —Let his martial and civil life teach us the value of freedom, and animate us in the defence of our country.  6. The Militia of the United States —Secur'd by a disciplined band of citizen soldiers, America will never need a Chinese wall to prevent invasion, nor a standing army to quell insurrection.  7. The American Congress —May their consultations prove more for the advancement of good government, than for the emolument of sycophantic dependents.  8. The Refs —Should Great Britain fend the second, may its favour be more agreeable than the first.  9. The Militia of New-Hampshire —May they ever be ready to push the bayonet of American spirit through the heart of the assassin, and every enemy of American Independence.  10. American Manufactures —May they flourish like a plant that is well watered under the influence of the rising Sun.  11. The late Acts of our Government —May they remain permanent, until our enemies shall rise out of darkness, and acknowledge their intrusions on our American shores, and make such reparation as would be honorable to themselves and exemplary to the world.  12. Our National Ships —May their guns be loaded with American Union, and touched with patriotic matches, but only in defence of our country.  13. May the genuine principles which actuated and impelled the sage Franklin, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and other necessary and collateral aids in the achievement of our glorious National Independence, never want friends in America to vindicate them.  14. The Tree of Liberty —May it ever remain firm on American soil.  15. The memory of the Heroes of '76 .  16. American Tars —May they always be ready to crowd sail and give chase at sight of an enemy.  17. The Fair Sex —May the hand of passion never be so strong as to destroy their texture or alloy their beauty. 
VOLUNTEERS.
 The President of the Day —Uniform in and tenacious of Republican principles.  The Orator of the Day —May his impartial address meet the approbation of all true Americans.  The Administration of our Government —Relying with implicit confidence in the wisdom of the late measures (particularly relative to the embargo) approved and adopted, and wisely calculated to avert war, devaluation and degradation of which we presume the internal temporary privations we endure, can have no parallel.  The Clergy —May they preach only the true gospel of JESUS CHRIST.  The principles of Moral Honesty , the test of all official Religion .  "RIGHTS OF MAN" —May the transcendent and salutary principles it contains, predicated on the primordial basis of truth, justice and equality, prove effectual in dispelling that malignant, pullaninous and shadowy contempt, which mercenary tyrants and parasites, foreign and domestic, dare with effrontery to hold them in; and serve to convince with consolatory conviction and peace the oppressed and cheated world.  Schools and Seminaries of Learning —The only source from whence mankind derives that knowledge necessary to preserve a Republican.  The liberty of the Press —May tyranny and oppression be thereby exposed, and the sons of darkness brought to light.  The Wasp —May the sting her enemies fear enough to destroy their bad qualities. 
Republican celebration at Dover, N. H. on the 4th July, 1808.
THE anniversary of Independence, the birth day of Liberty, was celebrated by the Republicans in this town, in a style, which did honor to the day.—At eleven o'clock, a large party formed a procession from Mr. Ela's tavern, under the direction of Capt. P. Wentworth, marshal of the day, and proceeded to the meeting-house, under a military escort, commanded by Capt. Moses Ham, where the exercises of the day were introduced by an appropriate Ode composed for the occasion by Moses L. Neil, Esq. and performed by a band of singers, accompanied by instrumental music, in a manner at once lively and affecting. An Oration then followed by Mr. Neil, which reflected the highest honor on the head and heart of the orator, both, as it concerns the correct, amiable and animating sentiments which it contained, and the truly impressive manner in which it was delivered. In this oration the causes which led to American Independence, and emancipation from British vassalage, are painted in glowing colors. The rise, progress and downfall of Aristocratic and Federal principles are correctly depicted. The present mode of disseminating deceptions among the people, as practised by the British fashion , in America, is ludicrously exposed; and the principles and practice of our present glorious administration, most ably and forcibly defended. The assembly was numerous and brilliant, and testified, by their countenance, the pleasure they felt in the triumph of Republican principles.—The exercises closed by an Ode, from the same pen as the former. The company on their return, partook of a sumptuous entertainment, prepared by Mr. Ela, where elegance and neatness were conspicuous. The hall and table were beautifully decorated with garlands and festoons of flowers, interwoven with the evergreen, emblematical of the eternity of republicanism.
The subjoined patriotic TOASTS were drank with fraternal cordiality:—
 1. The anniversary of American Independence —If the nativity of a despot be held in adoration by his slaves because it gave existence to a single freeman; how much more worthy of celebration is the day which gave birth to a Nation, and Liberty to three millions of people?  2. The Patriots of '76 —May the spirit of their virtues animate every American before, and their services be remembered forever.  3. The Constitution of the United States —Let infamy seize the wretch who would violate this sacred guarantee of our freedom.  4. The People —The only legitimate source of sovereignty in the State.  5. Union —Pause! and remember that "united we stand, but divided we fall."  6. The Laws of our Country —We acknowledge no other master.  7. The President of the U. States —Intrenched behind the integrity of his own virtues, he feels not the mercenary protection of alien and sedition laws.—Of his persecutors we may say, in the language of the fable, "cease vipers! you bite against a file!"  8. The tenth Congress —Willing to hazard its popularity for its country's good; we will support it.  9. The Embargo —A substitute for war—we are making an experiment of the lesser evil, which if insufficient to restore to us our rights, we will appeal to the sword.  10. The Dukes of France and the Orders of Great Britain —Declarations of war upon our commerce.—Let none presume to justify the one by the outrage and villany of the other!  11. Agriculture —The parent of commerce and manufactures.—Let us water the root, that the branches may flourish the more abundantly.  12. The Militia of the United States —A sure pledge of our country's defence.  13. The State of New-Hampshire —As she is the first in the Union, let her be the last to murmur against the legitimate and necessary measures of government.  14. Our venerable and patriotic Governor —JOHN LANGDON, Esq.—A character against which not a dog dares to wag his tongue.  15. Our impetuous farmers! —May they soon find a deliverer in the words of their countrymen.  16. The freedom of the seas —And perdition catch the wretch who would enslave it.  17. The American Fair —May their charms be the only power which dare to invade us. 
BY THE MAILS.
NATCHEZ, MAY 26.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Thomas Owens to Col. Hugh Davis, dated Plaquemine, May 16th.
"I have, since I left you, experienced very great bodily suffering, besides the loss of all the property I took with me. We were attacked on our route, at the mouth of the Cartaboule, by five Indians, (Alit bamis,) who fired on us without the least provocation.—Mr. M c Clelland and my negro man were killed on the spot.—After receiving several fires, Mr. Gerald and myself threw ourselves into the water, and swam to the opposite shore from the Indians—who kept up a constant fire upon us, and wounded Gerald in the left shoulder, while in the water. They pursued us in their canoes, and about a mile by land, when we escaped by again taking to the water. We travelled about 40 miles through a most miserable country, without anything to subsist on, wading through bayous, and swamps infested with alligators—and tearing ourselves with the bushes and underwood.—We arrived at Opelousas in about two days and an half where I left Gerald, and proceeded on to Judge King's who immediately raised a party of 24 men, and set out in pursuit of the murderers.—In the mean time, we have taken into custody a chief and 2 fellows of the same nation.—I refer you to Mr. Cormeir for further information."
Armed Neutrality!!! —His excellency governor Harrison, informs us, that by a runner he has received a message from Delaware & Shawnee, that the British had invited them to take up the tomahawk against the A-
mericans, that he had no doubt of forming an armed neutrality amongst the most powerful tribes, who would keep in check all the other tribes who should be induced to accept the perfidious offers of their British allies.

WASHINGTON, JUNE 27.
LIGHT ARTILLERY.
On Saturday, the citizens of Washington had the satisfaction of witnessing, on the open space in front of the President's House, the interesting manoeuvres of a corps of light artillery (sometimes denominated flying artillery ) belonging to the army of the United States, which has just been organized, under the command of captain Peter. The celerity of movement, and rapid discharges, either in advancing or retreating, manifested by this corps, were convincing proofs of the great utility of this kind of artillery in battle. On the line of march (and indeed, in all its evolutions) the corps had a most animating appearance.—Part of the artillery is mounted on horseback, and others in a light kind of carriage, very convenient for the purpose. The horses are exceedingly fine; and the men appeared to be very expert.

CAT OUT OF THE BAG—sure enough.
Rutland, 22d June, 1808.
Mr. Printer,—I rejoice at an opportunity to communicate to the public, through the medium of your paper, some of the intrigues and designs of the party who call themselves federalists.—Last night I lodged at H. Gould's tavern in this town, and after I had retired to bed about an hour there came into the the same room a lodger. There being two beds in the chamber my strange friend took the bed unoccupied. I turned over, and the gentleman perceiving I was awake began a conversation about the roads, &c.—I soon learnt that he was from Massachusetts, and he, that I belonged to this state. He then began to make enquiries about the feelings of the people respecting the embargo. He observed, that he found the people (on the road where he called) did not like the sending of troops from Springfield into this state for the purpose they were designed. I made myself ignorant of that movement, and he informed me that a company of artillery and two field pieces marched through Windsor last Monday on their way to Burlington Bay, and that Mr. Bigelow, the speaker of the General Court of Massachusetts, was on his way to Burlington also. From this I got the idea that it was with a view of diverting the object of the troops. By this time I understood the drift of the gentleman, and I thought, for diversion's sake, I would fall in with his notions of politics and see what I could collect from him. Among much conversation, I hinted to him that I disliked the embargo, and asked him his opinion of the prudence of the measure. He seemed to think it was the best thing that could be done to avert a war, but observed, it was an unpopular measure and let us improve it to our advantage!—I then asked about the policy of coming into an alliance with England. He said, in substance, that he believed an alliance offensive and defensive with the English, and the aid of their fleet, was the only alternative to save our distracted country! This, Mr. Printer, and many other ideas equally wild, made such a fermentation in my blood, that we soon closed our conversation. Among the rest I got one more idea, which I, however ought to communicate, and which I clearly got convinced of—That one object of the gentleman's journey was to aid the federalists in the ensuing election in this state. I therefore give this information to the public, that they may prepare their minds for the reception of Mr. Bigelow and his companions.
OLD RIFLE.
TORNADOES.
On the 24th May, a dreadful tornado was experienced in the States of Tennessee and N. Carolina.—It arose in Roan County, was from a half to a mile wide, progressed due east, and information of its ravages for 150 miles had been received: Not a house in its course but was either unroofed or blown down, principally the latter; the timber, &c. prostrated and many trees more than a foot thick were either twitted off or torn up and carried away in the whirlwind; and limbs and even trees were carried to the distance of 140 miles in two hours from its commencement; large columns of water were forced from the bed of the river Holstein, and thrown over the surrounding trees; the farms suffered severely; several lives laid to be lost; and some of the hail-stones weighed two ounces and measured ten inches in length.
A very severe hail storm was experienced at St. Mary's 16th May: Some of the hail-stones measured nine inches in circumference.—At some distance from the town, it was attended with a violent tornado, which very much injured several plantations on the Florida side. On Monday evening last week, a dwelling-house in Kingston, (N.H.) was blown down; one boat with two sailors lost off Newburyport bar; one on Plumb Island; Mr. John Fisher lost in a boat in Marblehead harbor.
DAVID BAZET forbids all persons harbouring or trusting his wife SILVEY, on his account, for he will not pay any debts of her contracting. DAVID BAZET. July 11th, 1808.

PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 29. Captain Winter, of Schooner Ticonderoga, (whose arrival at the Lazaretto we announced yesterday,) failed from St. Jago de Cuba 30th April, for Philadelphia. The 20th April, the French privateer Matilda, captain Dupuy, captured, in the bay of Port-au-Prince after an obstinate engagement, the English ship Nancy, from London, bound to Port-au-Prince, of 390 tons, mounting 20 guns, with a cargo of 40,000 pounds sterling, and brought her into St. Jago de Cuba; there was on board the Nancy 600 barrels powder, 1000 stand muskets, and a large quantity of lead for Gen. PETION. On the 10th April, the brig Ocean, captain Woodley of Kennebunk, from Lucca, Jamaica, bound to Boston, with 300 puncheons Rum, was captured by the French privateer General Lambart, captain Forrest, belonging to St. Jago de Cuba, and sent into Trinidad in Cuba; mate and part of the crew are on board the Ticonderoga. It is the intention of the privateers of Cuba to capture all vessels to and from an English Island—there are at present ten very formidable privateers out of St. Jago.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
[The following extract of a letter from a gentleman to his family in this city, descriptive of a fire which took place in Falmouth, Jamaica, on the 24th May is particularly impressive. The writer had experienced the misfortunes resulting from fire in N. York, and could duly appreciate the feelings of others placed in the same situation.]
"You, who know so well to pity the unfortunate sufferers by fire, who have experienced the distresses entailed upon those who have had fire for their master, can lend a tear, while I picture to you the distresses of the last night. I had lain down about 10, and was in a sound sleep, when about 11, the captain called me, and said the town was on fire, (he had not been in bed) I jumped up, and beheld a horrid sight. Then about 6 or 8 houses were burning; there was no wind, and I was in hopes it would end there. I dressed myself and went on shore; there we met whites, mulattoes and negroes, all crying and making the most woful lamentations without attempting to put out the fire. The work house negroes were there, who brought water on their heads, in pails or buckets, but no line was formed, and no regularity used; every white inhabitant was a soldier, and had a musket or a sword, to make the negroes work, for work themselves they will not, they think they were not made to work, but to have negroes to do it for them, even on the greatest emergency. They had there five engines, one was useless, one very bad, and one tolerably good; no attention having been paid to keep them in order. When I came to the scene of action, there were about twelve houses burning, in each of which there was either rum, brandy or gin in casks, and in some there was powder; the explosion of which, together with the smell of the liquors, the lash of the whip on the negroes, the noise of all ordering, the screaming of half-naked women and children, the heat of the fire, added to that of an intensely hot night, formed a scene which can be imagined but not described. I wished to assist, but found that impossible. The town, at the commencement of the fire, covered in length about half a mile, and about a quarter of a mile in breadth, and contained from 200 to 250 houses, large and small; I conceive that you see those houses, most of which are of two stories, and built of wood in regular order, and of these, at least 150 on fire at one time, and at the same time not less than 100 puncheons of liquors burning; in no direction could the eye be turned but distress presented. The shrieks and cries were sufficient to pierce the heart of any person not callous to all kind of feeling. At half past five o'clock I returned on board—then its fury was nearly spent, as in the direction of the wind there were no more houses to which it could communicate. The apathy of the people was such, that brands of fire lodged upon many houses, and for want of proper exertion of the owners they were entirely destroyed. The inhabitants (the principal characters) had been on board a loop of war in the harbor to second breakfast and dinner, after which there was a ball. There were only six ladies, and a number of gentlemen; the former went on shore early in the evening; the gentlemen remained, and some who were on board dancing and singing, in a few hours were deprived of all their earthly property. Several informed me they were totally ruined. This little place, which prior to the conflagration, bore an agreeable appearance, now presents nothing but a heap of rubbish. The inhabitants generally, have no shelter, and many of them have taken refuge on board the vessels in the harbor until temporary buildings are erected for their accommodation. There is no lumber here, and I do not know from whence they can derive supplies. A subscription is about to be proposed for the sufferers; as I have formerly suffered by a similar calamity, my mite is ready."
BOSTON, JULY 11.
Acquittal of Gen. Wilkinson.
The last Washington Intelligencer contains the Opinion of the Court of Inquiry, relative to the conduct of Gen. Wilkinson, on the charge of his having received a pension from the Court of Spain, while holding a Commission of the United States. It is signed by H. Burbeck, President of the Court, and stands approved by the President. It concludes as follows—"It is the opinion of this court, that there is no evidence of Brigadier General James Wilkinson's having at any time received a pension from the Spanish government, or of his having received money from the government of Spain or any of its officers or agents for corrupt purposes; and the court has no hesitation in saying, that as far as his conduct has been developed by this enquiry, he appears to have discharged the duties of his station with honor to himself, and fidelity to his country."
Accounts from Halifax mention the arrival there of Mr. Burr, in the British Packet, from New-York. He is bound to Europe and on his landing at Halifax, was treated with marks of respect.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
Arrival of the Osage.
The United States dispatch ship Osage, arrived at New-York on Tuesday last, in 48 days from Falmouth.—Mr. Lewis, the messenger, arrived in her, with dispatches, said to be highly important, from our Ministers in France and Great Britain, with which he proceeded immediately to Washington.—Mr. Nourse, the other messenger, remained in England. A New-York paper of July 6, says—The Osage, so long expected, has at length arrived, and we are still in a state of uncertainty and doubt. England has made no concession for her outrage, and Bonaparte has made neither a declaration of hostilities or an absolute resolve to continue in peace with us. He has declared that all American vessels which are found in the European seas after the 28th of April, shall be liable to seizure. This measure is predicated upon the supposition that they must have escaped from the United States, in contravention of the embargo law, or that they were carrying on illicit commerce under cover of their flag. The same decree contains another remarkable clause which amply displays the cunning policy of the French government. "That American vessels shall be subject to embargo in France as long as the embargo continues in the United States," because they assert that we laid the embargo under the idea that the English, under the orders of Council, would seize our vessels, and that it would, in such case benefit us.
It has been asserted in English papers, that the Russians had been defeated in their attack on Sweaborg, but the intelligence wants confirmation.
The Swedes who have entered Norway have met with a repulse. Baron Armfeldt admits in his report, that the Norwegians, recovered from their surprise, had attacked the Swedes in every quarter with success.
The Russians and the French have entered Gothland; but with too few forces to maintain their conquests. The Russians appear to be established in Geland, another island in the Baltic, but it is generally supposed that the appearance of an English fleet in the Baltic will render unnecessary any further operations.
A letter written by a French officer, at the time he was quitting Russia, mentions, that they were about to march to the frontiers of Turkey, and there was but little doubt that the destination of the army was to India.
The Saturday's Boston Democrat makes the following observations on the news by the above arrival—
"No official matter of importance has reached us by the Osage, concerning our own relations with foreign powers. Through London papers, and rumors by passengers, it is agreed: that no accounts of further progress towards adjustment of our difficulties had yet reached the public ear in England; but we are assured through the same channel, there is reason to hope that something favorable will be effected—as our minister is still treated with the most marked politeness!—which amounts to just nothing at all. England has never been backward, even when meditating deadly hostility, in empty politeness to ministers. A man may smile, and smile, and be a villain. The Dey of Algiers, more honest, gives foreign ministers personal and unequivocal indications of his views."
For the new measures said to have been taken in regard to us by the French Emperor, we have English authority—If true, they only afford us additional proof that there is no way to preserve our peace and honor but by a suspension of commerce for the present."
According to Dutch accounts, the Danes have furnished France with sailors to man two sail of the line. It is doubted whether a truce has been concluded between the Porte and Russia. As the Grand Seignor has declared his intention to head his army in person, and intends to appropriate the immense treasures heaped up in the Seraglio since Mohammed 2d, for carrying on the war, if it be recommenced.
A French artillery officer of rank has lately written a letter from Dalmatia to a brother officer in the north of Germany, in which he assures the latter that the expedition against the British territories in the East Indies, will certainly go forward both on the part of the French and Russians, whose combined armies are to co-operate. Marmont is to have the chief command. The French army, reinforced by troops from Dalmatia to Afracan, where it will be joined by the Russians. [London paper.]
The British are pouring in gunpowder and cannon into Canada and Nova Scotia; they have even sent a considerable body of that corps of military, which they have lately adopted from the French; the waggon and artillery driver's corps; exactly that kind of corps which is best calculated for service in a country like this.
It might be supposed, had not this corps been sent, that the stores were laid up for the West Indies; but such a corps, nor their peculiar discipline, could be of any use in the West Indies.
Meanwhile the Indians on the southern frontier, are lifted, and their provocatives let loose on the people, and when enquiry is set on foot, behold, they will not meddle with the whites, unless Bonaparte should go to war with us; this acquaintance of the Indians with Bonaparte, is rather too clumsy; Timothy Pickering's management with Chisholm, was better conducted; Miranda, we were frequently told, was only an emissary of Bonaparte, and acting in concert with the American government, but Dundas and Popham spoiled all those pretty stories, by their evidence on oath.
It is in this way, the tories of 1774, and 1775, fought to delude and to disavow their rights and independence. [Aurora.]
The 4th of July celebration at Kittery is unavoidably postponed until our next.
We have accounts from Martinique, as late as the 20th June.—At that time flour stood at about 32 dollars per barrel; and an order had been issued by the government, inviting vessels of all nations to enter the ports of Martinique with an assurance that no inquiry should be made as to their sailing under a friendly, a neutral, or an enemy's flag; or whether they had, or had not, regular papers.
Every instance of the violation of the Embargo on our frontiers and every hope of such a violation is reported by the enemies of our administration with the same pleasure as we might expect from a triumph over the worst enemy. In this way, every enormity is excused, every excitement to violate the laws is given, and offenders prepared to trample on the laws with public patronage. What good cause can such conduct support.
MARRIED. —In this town, Mr. John Cuts, to Miss Dorcas Kennard. Mr. John Treadwell, to Miss Hannah Jenins.
