LATE OMISSIONS.
Address of the Baltimore Baptist Association.
To THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States.
TO those characters whose lives have been distinguished by an adherence to virtuous and patriotic principles, and whose endeavors to establish, on a just basis, the public and private rights of individuals have entitled them to the appellation of "the benefactors of mankind," the plaudits of their fellow citizens, on their retiring from the scene of political labors, have frequently been expressed.
In correspondence with a practice which appears consonant to propriety and justice, We, the members of "The Baltimore Baptist Association," convened by appointment in the city of Washington, embrace this opportunity of expressing our sense of your numerous and important services in the cause of civil and religious liberty, and in promoting the welfare and happiness of the people of the United States.—In reviewing the acts of your public life, our minds are forcibly impressed with the recollection that you were the author of the Declaration of Independence; an Instrument in which we recognize the vindication of our rights, the declaration of our wrongs, and the objects for which government is instituted.—Since your accession to the first office in the union, the tendency of your measures has been to advance the prosperity of the union.—We have been relieved from the pressure of unnecessary taxes:—our national debt has been greatly diminished;—we have been secured in the enjoyment of our political rights;—and in the language of the prophet we may exclaim, —"Every man has sat under his vine and under his fig-tree, and none to make him afraid."
Whilst the European world is agitated and shaken to its centre; whilst the ambition of contending empires causes human blood to flow, and the peaceful field of the husbandman is converted into a scene where only the din of arms is heard; whilst the labors of the artisan are suspended, and the implements of industry are exchanged for the weapons of destruction; it has been the constant aim of your administration to preserve and ensure to us the blessings of peace; a state best calculated for the mild progress of our holy Religion, and for the happiness of man. It is to be lamented that, in the prosecution of this laudable design, the injustice of the principal belligerent powers has, for a time, suspended our usual pursuits, and subjected our commerce to the rapacity of those invaders of our rights.
We consider it proper, in the capacity of a religious body, to express our feelings of gratitude and sentiments of approbation, for your exertions and services in behalf of religious liberty within your own state. The friends of piety must ever remember that the act passed by the Virginia legislature in 1786, for the establishment of religious freedom, emanated from you: they must admire the principles on which this law is founded, and the manner in which, by it, the rights of conscience, the first and most essential of our rights, are illustrated. The active influence of your virtuous labors could not, it is true, be felt without the limits of your native state; but the cause of religious freedom is a common cause, and for your efforts in behalf of any part of the community in this respect, the rest must be impressed with grateful and sympathetic feelings.
On returning from that high station which you have filled with so much dignity and credit to yourself and advantage to your country, it is proper for us to express our approbation of the reasons which influence you to this determination. They evince that attachment to the principles of republicanism, and that regard to the liberties of the people, which have uniformly characterized your public life. May this example be venerated by succeeding rulers, and considered as a model for their imitation; so that our republic may continue in purity to the latest ages. And when you have ceased to act on the stage of human life, may you receive the approbation of the great head of the Church, and finally obtain a seat in the mansions of everlasting life thro' the merits of the Lord Jesus Christ!
Signed by order and in behalf of the Association, this 15th day of October, 1808.
OBADIAH B. BROWN, Mod. JOHN WELCH, Clerk.
To the Members of the Baltimore Baptist Association.
I receive with great pleasure the friendly address of the Baltimore Baptist Association, and am sensible how much I am indebted to the kind dispositions which dictated it.
In our early struggles for liberty, religious freedom could not fail to become a primary object; all men felt the right, and a just animation to obtain it was excited in all. I was one only among the many who befriended its establishment, and am entitled but in common with others to a portion of that approbation which follows the fulfilment of a duty.
Excited by wrongs to reject a foreign government which directed our concerns according to its own interests and not to ours, the principles which justified us were obvious to all understandings; they were imprinted in the breast of every human being; and Providence was pleased to direct the issue of our contest in favor of that side where justice was. Since this happy separation, our nation has wisely avoided entangling itself in the system of European interests, has taken no side between its rival powers, attached itself to none of its ever-changing confederacies. Their peace is desirable; and you do me justice in saying that to preserve and ensure this, has been the constant aim of my administration: the difficulties which involve it however are now at their ultimate term; and what will be their issue, time alone will disclose. But be it what it may a recollection of our former vassalage in religion and civil government, will unite the zeal of every heart, and the energy of every hand, to preserve that independence in both which under the favor of Heaven, a disinterested devotion to the public cause first achieved, and a disinterested sacrifice of private interest will now maintain.
I am happy in your approbation of my reasons for determining to retire from a station in which the favor of my fellow citizens has so long continued and supported me; and I return your kind prayers with supplications to the same Almighty Being for your future welfare and that of our beloved country.
TH: JEFFERSON.
Oct. 17, 1808.
There is going the rounds in the federal papers an anonymous letter, headed in capitals, "REPARATION OFFERED FOR THE attack upon the Chesapeake!!!"—The writer remarks that "as the people of America are unoffered what reparation has been offered for the injury &c." and then proceeds to state what England intended to do.
Yes indeed; the people of America are uninformed as to what atonement England ever thought of making. And why pray? For what was Rose sent to America? Why did he not inform the people of America what England would do for the injury they had done them. His correspondence with the secretary of state has been published, and not a word does he let fall as to what reparation Britain would give, tho' professedly commissioned for the sole purpose of doing us complete justice. But now forsooth Mr. Somebody , in great compassion to our lack of information, undertakes to say that such and such things were contemplated to be done; & this Mr. Somebody's statement of what England refused to tell us by her minister, is by federalists, to be puff about in capitals as a "REPARATION OFFERED FOR THE ATTACK ON THE CHESAPEAKE!!!"
And what, for shame, is the reparation offered for her still keeping those Americans she stole from the Chesapeake? Citizens! your abhorrence of the Deeds of the 22d of June 1807, meets yet with nothing that should mitigate or appease it. Every moment that goes by, is still drawing blood from the wounds which were that day inflicted upon your independence. [American Mercury.]
KENTUCKY]—The Kentucky Palladium of the 22d ult. informs us that not a doubt exists but Mr. MADISON will have an unanimous vote for President in that State.

BY THE MAILS.
WASHINGTON, OCT. 25.
Since it has been announced that our administration proposed to Great Britain to raise the embargo if she would rescind her orders in council, the opposition have assumed a curious position, and now aver that government, finding the embargo a futile measure, are anxious to get rid of it. This kind of reasoning is the more marvellous, inasmuch as it comes from the very same quarter whence a little time ago proceeded a most furious attack upon our executive for not having used any effort to restore harmony between the United States and Great Britain. I hope the gentlemen have not forgot their striking and curveting when the speech of Mr. Canning arrived in this country, proclaiming that no dispatches of importance had been received by the court of St. James from the American administration. I hope they have not forgot how they all played the part of the ass in the fable, and thinking the executive struck down by the uncaused assertion of the British minister for foreign affairs, threw up their heels with true assine agility and brayed most gloriously of the mild and honied temper of England, and of the violent desire she had to be upon a good footing with us, but that our president, out of pure and unadulterated devotion to Bonaparte, would not make a single offer: I hope, I say, they have not forgot all this; for it would be a pity that such useful recollections should be lost, and would put me to some trouble to bring up to view again the memory of them, which doubtless will be extremely refreshing to the opposition. But the gentlemen are mistaken in the one instance and in the other. They were mistaken when they said the administration made no efforts to restore harmony with Great Britain, and they are mistaken now when they aver that the embargo is considered useless and inefficient. Let us take a rapid glance at the history of the embargo and the causes which led to it. The Berlin decree was issued in November 1806—immediately on its being made known to our minister at Paris, he demanded an explanation, and was informed that it was not meant to interfere with the amicable relations between France and America. In January 1807 the British issued orders against our trade, to which our minister in England made remonstrance—but without effect. In the autumn of 1807 France first manifested a disposition to enforce her Berlin decree against our commerce by condemning the Houston ; and as soon as Gen. Armstrong heard of the proceedings he required from the French minister for foreign affairs an exposition of the views of the French government towards us. This was in September 1807—it then appeared that France was resolved to proceed more vigorously to carry her Berlin decree into effect. In November of the same year the British issued their far-famed orders of council; and in the December following Bonaparte rejoined by his Milan decree. Whilst these proceedings were taking place in Europe and were likely to sweep our ships and merchandise from the ocean, to the ruin of our merchants and farmers & planters, the vigilance of the American administration procured intelligence of the business at the very moment Congress had commenced its session in 1807: the president, without delay, made known the information to the legislative body, which instantly laid an embargo. This embargo preserved in our ports what was already there, and secured, as they returned from distant voyages, the ships and goods of our citizens from further exposure: an hundred millions of dollars worth, it has been calculated, were saved in this way. Meantime our ministers abroad were not idle; they endeavored, by representations and memorials, to bring the governments of Europe back to a sense of justice—but in vain. Even with all the efforts of our ambassadors and consuls abroad and the precaution of the embargo at home, much of our property was doomed to be seized under these orders and decrees: the ports of France, Italy, Holland, and those of Great Britain can bear complete testimony to the fact at this day. But administration were indefatigable to restore the commerce of the U. States to activity. Mr. Roff arrived, and it was hoped his mission might lead to a friendly adjustment of differences, but it proved altogether abortive. Mr. Roff's mission terminated in March, and congress adjourned on the 25th day of April thereafter, leaving a power with the president, under certain circumstances, to suspend the embargo. The St. Michael failed on the 2d of May, exactly seven days after the congress rose; so that the administration, ever active for a restoration of harmony with European powers, sent off the proposition to Great Britain to raise the embargo if she would rescind her orders in council, in seven days after the president was clothed with authority to do such a thing. Did this seem like indifference to commerce? Did it look like wishing to keep on a perpetual embargo?—Mr. Madison himself was so anxious to make up the dispatches at that period for foreign courts, that out of 3 days and 3 nights I have understood he did not repose himself more than six hours. It may be said with truth, that there has never been a single point of time since the embargo was laid, at which the administration has relaxed its exertions to produce such a state of things as would justify its removal. I dare the federalists to descend to particulars.
[Washington Monitor.]
Government has received dispatches from Mr. Pinkney our minister at London, of the date of September 14th. At that period he had not received the expected answer to his representations to the British government. It would seem, from all we can learn, that the cabinet of St. James is resolved not to furnish its reply, by which it shall commit itself with our government either one way or the other, before it is too late for the intelligence to reach this country previously to the termination of the presidential election; and further, that Great Britain is inclined to such strange conduct by the expectation of an insurrection in the United States, which she is led to believe will occur from the supposition that the people of this country will not submit to the embargo when the ports of Spain and Portugal are known to be open to them. And this policy Great Britain adheres to, notwithstanding famine is staring her in the face! The citizens of United America will know how to appreciate and how to meet such conduct on the part of the English. If a foreign power
is to choose a president for us, there is an end to independence. [Ibid.]
Extract of a letter from an intelligent American gentleman in London, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated Sept. 17.
"The embargo is now considered a strong act; and just begins to take a powerful effect in this country. The American cotton is almost entirely consumed; and as the sanguine expectations of the British merchants on the supply of cotton from the Brazils and other sources, have failed, this article has become very high and scarce. The harvest has been much less productive than was expected; and wheat has of course risen to a much higher price than it was before this circumstance was known. This country cannot spare any grain for her colonies, much less for Spain and Portugal. I imagine it will depend entirely on the events in Spain and Portugal, whether we are to have any commerce or not, without a sacrifice of our independence. Should the French succeed in their views in Spain, which the most sensible men here consider highly probable, I have not the smallest doubt but this government will act towards us with at least common justice. At the present time a war with America would be very unpopular; and all parties here seem fully aware of the mutual advantages of a good understanding."
"Should Spanish ports be open to British commerce, and any plan can be substituted for our cotton and flour, we should be prohibited the use of the ocean as a commercial nation. A universal monopoly of trade suits the affluent London merchant; and they have no idea of sharing it with any power on earth."
"The reason why Great Britain did not feel earlier than now, the operation of the embargo, is that just before it was laid there was an immense accumulation of cotton at Liverpool, that has furnished, considering the small demand for manufactured goods a tolerable good supply. It is now almost entirely consumed. This country always considered the Americans so commercial, and so avaricious, that the people, when two crops are on hand, would force the government to permit the exportation of it, on any terms. Much surprise is now expressed that the late arrivals from America do not bring accounts of civil tumults; and I think a strict adherence to our system will produce a fair arrangement by the next spring."
NEW YORK, OCT. 27.
Extract of a letter from Bordeaux, of September 3, to a mercantile house in this city.
"Produce is again getting in demand, in consequence of the little hope there remains of a peace at present. It is feared that even your own country will be involved in a war, with one or the other of the belligerent powers; at least our prize court continues condemning all American vessels on the bare plea of having been visited by British cruisers."
Extract of a letter from Bordeaux, dated September 5, received by the Hope.
"The position of the United States as far as respects the two great belligerents is not likely to be changed. A considerable number of American vessels and cargoes have been lately condemned here, and will be sold in the course of the month. Remittances can be made in any manner directed."
List of American vessels condemned at Paris.
Ship Grace , Linzee, Boston, at Port Ferrajo; Victory , Hopkins, Portsmouth, N. H. at Cherbourg; Grace , at Passage in Spain; Vengeance , do; Aurora , at Morlaix; Tarantula , Riley, at Bologna; Rising Sun , Rust at Amsterdam; Brothers , Bift, at Calais; Fame , of Boston, at Marfeilles; Cados , Icard, New-York, do; George , of Newport, at Conquet; Mars , of Savannah, at Passage; America , Proctor of Philadelphia, at Rotterdam; Mercury , Watson, of New York, at Dieppe; James , Adams, at Dunkirk; Helena , Clark, of Baltimore, at Morlaix; Charlotte , at Offend; None were condemned but such as had valuable cargoes. Brig Venus , Bowdoin, of Marblehead, at Port Ferrajo, waiting trial. Brig Ann , Folger, of Bolton, condemned at St. Maloes, capt. arrived in England. American vessels at Bordeaux, Sept. 1.—Brig Three Apprentices , Mariner, of New-York; Charlestown , Newman, do; Schr. Freedom , Smith, Cape Ann; Yarico , Stanly, Marblehead—all under seizure for having been visited by the British. Ship Charleston Packet , Connel, of Philadelphia; James Madison , Penfion, N. Orleans; Phoenix , or Felix , Rofs, of New-York; Jenny , Myers, of do; brig Meator , of do, all detained by the embargo.
Another American vessel, the Comet , with passengers for France, has been bro't in as prize by one of our cruisers to Plymouth. This act has taken place in consequence of the Orders in Council, and as the Tiger , which was brought in some time since with the Marquis Truji and other passengers has been within a few days condemned by the Admiralty Court, the Comet will of course experience the same fate. This sort of condemnation promises completely to reconcile the Americans to the existence of the embargo; for they must naturally ask what would become of their other shipping if permitted to come out?
[London Morning Chronicle.]
The embargo, (says the Aurora of Tuesday) has built or nearly built one thousand new houses in this city—the embargo has erected two manufactories for shot in this city, which forever secures the circulation at home, of about 200,000 dollars heretofore sent abroad—sent abroad to pay for shot for shooting birds alone we sent 200,000 dollars abroad; Philadelphia now, from two factories erected for casting patent shot, can after supplying all America, cast enough to supply Asia beside. Let it not be forgotten that Louisiana produces the lead for these manufactories—which can each cast one ton and a half of the most perfect shot per day each.
But these nor twenty more are not all—we have two manufactories of red lead already established—whose capacity is competent to the supply of the whole country with red lead and with litharge.
A manufacturer of white lead is also going on. The elegant pottery manufactory of Messrs. Trotter and co. is conducted in a style so perfect, so complete in all that is required for utility, or taste, that we require only a few privations of foreign articles, to give a complete establishment to our own.
It would be in fact a fortunate occurrence for America that both France and England should openly avow hostility against us—their
involuntary war, their war in disguise, is calculated only to furnish masks for domestic traitors and foreign emulators—in open war the traitors would be unmasked at once.
A London paper of Sept. 22d has the following article, which seems to have offended the Editor of the New York Evening Post as it contradicts flatly his infamous libels on the government respecting Haley:
"There is no truth in the report respecting Mr. Haley, the American messenger, which a certain morning paper, that generally betrays rather an overweening eagerness to depreciate the American government, thought proper to feed into circulation a few days since—Mr. Haley, the messenger, is a man of intelligence and respectability, and quite a different person from him by whom the underwriters at Lloyd's were defrauded some years ago. The fact is, the man who committed that fraud, so far from being employed by the American government durst not appear in America, since the transaction alluded to; because by that transaction he cheated to a much greater extent in America than he did in England, for the greater portion of the cargo, which through the alleged contrivance of Haley was captured by a French cruiser, belonged to American citizens, and was not insured."
That want of correct information is the great cause of the continued opposition to the measures of government, has often been asserted: and in proof of this, it is worthy of particular observation, that in our principal cities, Philadelphia, New-York, Baltimore, Salem, Mass., Portsmouth, N. H. &c. where papers of every description are circulated and false information can be readily compared with the true, the measures of government meet with a vigorous support, although those cities are first and most seriously affected by these measures. While the most strenuous hostility to government is carried on in those districts of country where the causes and objects of the measures complained of are not as well understood, owing either to the lack of information, or the abundance of misinformation of which there is no refutation or contradiction.
ALL HAIL! REPUBLICANS! WHIGS of 1808, ALL HAIL!
It never discovers a greatness of mind to exult over the weaknesses and dipsies of a fallen enemy; their situation ought rather to excite compassion than contempt—but a generous and manly display of joy and gratitude, at the triumph of sound principles and the ascendancy of truth, justice and patriotism, over falsehood and treason, is not only excusable, but highly proper and useful. It is left to puerile Federalism, to strut at only the appearance of momentary success, while we indulge them in their idle dreams of fancied greatness and conquest—but the time has come when they must awake to view the baseless fabric of their hopes and delusions. The People cannot be cheated out of their rights—and the federal motto that "the best Administration can be lied down," they now see to their discomfiture is false; and that the Government of this Country is strong in the affections of a People, whose rights and interests they have adhered to, and invariably pursued. The stratagems of British policy, aided by internal traitors, has, in most of the States, only awakened the Republicans to new ardor and fresh exertions, and with every thing to found the expectation that we may pronounce that great Statesman and Patriot, JAMES MADISON, the next President of the United States, by more than three-fourths of the Electoral Votes, although the People of Massachusetts have been deprived of the great privilege of voting for Electors.
In PENNSYLVANIA, the most sanguine Whigs did not calculate on more than ten thousand majority for the Whig Ticket, and this calculation was not made until the Quids gave up and united with the Republicans—yet Mr. Snyder and the Whig Ticket have prevailed by more than TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND Majority! This is the State which Federalists predicted would be Tariffed and Federal!—Alas! Woful errors!
MARYLAND elects by districts, and will give about 8 democratic electors and 3 federal at most. The democratic majority in this state is from 5 to 6000.
NORTH CAROLINA elects by districts. She has returned but three federalists to Congress, but will not give more than two federal electors.
SOUTH CAROLINA is truly democratic. The legislature choose the electors. In GEORGIA, the principles of the revolution are duly respected.
VERMONT was to vote for a Federal President and send three Federalists to Congress—but Vermont gives all her votes for JAMES MADISON, and the Feds have chosen but one out of three Representatives—Alas, Federal Fortune Tiers!
NEW JERSEY was to vote for a Federal President—but she is decidedly Republican, and will vote for JAMES MADISON.—Alas ye Conjurors!
Most of the other STATES remain firm and spiritedly Republican, and no doubt New-Hampshire and Rhode-Island will follow the example of their sister States, and vote for Madison and Clinton; they were scandalously imposed upon by tales of "Southern" & French influence; but they will be undeceived. Where, Federalists, will you get fifty Electoral votes?—You will stand a monument of the folly of deceiving a virtuous and free People—Your schemes of dividing the States, and parceling them out into little Kingdoms and Principalities, was feasonably detected—and your labors to bring the U. States to a payment of BRITISH TRIBUTE, are all lost! AMERICA will never pay a base Tribute to either FRANCE or BRITAIN. The fury of "Southern Influence," has lost its charm, and Federal conspiracy receives its death-wound, in their nominating Pinkney for President, a Citizen of South-Carolina, a man who lives many very many miles further to the Southward than JAMES MADISON! and in a State which every body knows is further to the Southward than Virginia! Let us hear no more of "Southern Influence." It is said "when God intends to destroy he first makes mad!" which appears to be the case with the Federal Faction. [Eastern Argus.]
Who is there that calculated upon justice from G. Britain—not a man of sense in the country. How do those idiots justify to themselves, or how can they explain to the public, the pretended execration which they expressed on the murder of Forbes , and the murders in the Chesapeake, who now advocate the outrages of Great Britain. [Aurora.]
Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1808.
SUMMARY—FOREIGN.
From the Essex Register, of Nov. 5.
We have been politely favoured with the Gibraltar Gazettes till September 24.—They furnish no later occurrences than have been already mentioned, but they supply many State papers which serve to explain more fully past events. From our various sources of information we find that the French Emperor perseveres in his design of collecting a great military force in Spain. The French army in the northern part of Spain was preparing for an important action, and the French continued to hold such important positions in Catalonia as promised great assistance to their operations in that quarter. Troops were in motion in the countries allied to France. They were marching for Spain from all their encampments, as they could be spared or replaced, and were crossing the Rhine at very different points, and with forced marches. We hear of them from Bavaria, Baden, Wurtemberg, and Bamberg, and upon the Rhine at Frankfort and Mentz. They were in motion in Saxony, Westphalia and Italy. A Paris paper of 13th Sept. exhibits a decree for 30,000 additional conscripts to be called out in January next for the defence of the coast, but that the military forces were to admit no increase of the public burdens or taxes. This report was from Count Le Cedepe. The English papers say, that the French Emperor had commanded into service even the City Guards, but not that they had been ordered to march. A late statement gives to France and its allies 83 millions. A division must then give the only hopes of Spain.—The English papers insist that hostilities are ready to commence between France and Austria, which the French as strenuously deny. The treaty of the king of England with the king of the Two Sicilies was signed at Palermo on the 30th of March, and was to be followed by a commercial treaty. By this, the English have the privileges of the ports of Sicily free of duties, and all prizes taken from the English are prohibited from such ports, and his British majesty obliges himself to defend Messina and Augusta, to pay an annual subsidy of 300,000 pounds, and to comprehend Sicily in the peace whenever made.
From the north we learn that the late Swedish expedition to Finland was to include 25,000 men, making the whole Swedish force in that country 40,000, and they were to land in three divisions. Klinger the Swedish General reports a dear bought victory over the Russians at Lappa, and that the Russians were at that time at Salmi. The English had provided Gunboats such as had been advantageously used upon the shores of the Baltic, and the Russians had assisted their operations by the same boats which they had in the harbours of Finland. On the 26th August the English discovered a Russian fleet in the Baltic. It is reckoned at nine ships of the line and as many other armed vessels. The Russians soon food for a port and left a ship which was burnt by the English. The English consider this as a naval victory from the inferiority of their force to that of Russia. We have no particular history of the Russian Cabinet from which we can draw any conclusions respecting the effects the affairs in Spain may have produced. Prince Courant is Ambassador from Austria at Peterburg.
The Russian Minister Ostrogonow was still in Spain. Charles Stuart, Esq. the English minister was expected at Madrid in September. John Murphy a merchant of London had agreed to raise a regiment in Spain at his own charge and to accept the command. It has been said that Dumourier was actually in Spain. The 3000 Spanish prisoners from Spain had joined the Spanish armies. The commanders in Lisbon had been ordered to return to England, and we have not the account of the fulfilment of the conventions of Cadiz and Lisbon. The troops under Dupont and Pedal by the last accounts were 19,000, and 10,000 of them under Dupont. A London paper of June says the troops at Madrid were 12,000, and of them not a third were Frenchmen. In September all English residents were ordered to quit Paris. If we are to believe all the troops in motion are destined for Spain, and that the Spaniards are in high spirits, we may expect to hear of events as memorable as any which have distinguished the late years of European history.
On the 23d of Sept. Covent Garden theatre and seven adjoining houses were totally consumed by fire, and two very much damaged. The ward robe and the greater part of the scenery were completely destroyed, upwards of thirty dead bodies are said to have been dug out of the ruins. Several were found partly burnt and partly scalded to death by the water from the engines passing through the flames. The theatre was injured to the amount of 48,000 pounds sterling, in the Phoenix, Sun, Royal exchange and Union Fire Insurance Offices. The fire is conjectured to have originated in the scenery from some fire-balls which had been used the evening before in the tragedy of Pizarro. The after-piece, was more tragic than the tragedy itself. Mr. J Kemble, a short time prior to the accident, paid 25,000 pounds for one sixth of the theatre. The fire was first discovered by a forlorn female whose only couch for repose was the porch.
Proof Positive of the Wisdom & Utility of the Embargo Law.
By Capt. Caleb Hopkins late of the ship Victory of this port, we learn that 23 sail of American Vessels had been carried into French and Spanish ports under the Milan decree, 1 of which had been condemned; and by recent accounts from England we learn that a large number of American vessels had been carried in there, detained and condemned or waiting trial under the orders of the king in Council.
We further state that out of 7 sail of vessels which have failed in ballast by permission agreeably to the Embargo Laws to bring home property belonging to Citizens of this port, the following have been captured by the French or English—viz.
The brig Jane , from an English port, captured by the French and 45 puncheons of rum taken out—the vessel was ransomed and has arrived here.
The brig Alert , from an English port taken by the French, retaken by the English and released after the payment of costs & charges.
The schr Succefs , bound to a French port was taken by the English, carried into St. Christopher's and condemned.
The ship Sally , bound for Bordeaux taken by the English and carried into England.
One of the seven only has returned. The fate of the other two is uncertain.
These facts are clear evidence that what was apprehended by our government would have taken place, and its wisdom in laying the Embargo is clearly evinced.
Extract from the log book of the brig Tarantula .
On the 2d Feb. 1808, at 6 P. M. Beachy Head bearing by compass N. W. 4 leagues distance, discovered a Luggar to the south of us lying with her sails down—the made sail and at half past 6 came up, hailed and ordered us to heave too—whilst heaving too the fired several shot into us; after we had hove too and had been lying half an hour, she came under our lee, fired several shot into us, one of which killed William Haffel, seamen, a native of Philadelphia—and after she had fired, ordered us to heave out the boat and come on board; having lost our small boat and disabled our crew, which they were informed of, she sent her boat on board, scoured papers, and without asking any questions steered for the coast of France. On the following day, finding that they could not bring their port, they steered for Bologna, at 3 P. M. on entering the port, they ran the brig on shore, where she was wrecked.
It is asked sometimes by the blockheads of the community—"What have we gained by the embargo?"—A foolish question might be answered in the same foolish way; but we may answer folly in the way of sense—We have gained all that we have not lost. What the pirates would have taken, we have kept out of their clutches; and what is better, we have kept peace; which is gain of all the lives that must be lost in war—all the debt that must be incurred in war—all the misery that must be endured by widows, orphans and orphans in war—we have gained a knowledge of our own resources, and a sense of their importance worth twenty millions a year—we have asserted the rights of an independent nation, by insisting on reparation for wrong, and demanding the recognition of our rights—we have defeated the corruption of England, in her attempts upon our elections. [Aurora.]
Eight years ago, the federal clamour about the predicted overthrow of Religion; had great influence with the superstitious. Many ignorant people were deceived; and the time has proved that it was groundless—the seeds of faction being sown, the fruits of tyranny are now maturing. In the same manner do the jingo leaders now expect to deceive the avaricious, as they did before the superstitious. They tell them that their property will be destroyed—that the Embargo will wholly ruin them. They know that a little time, will prove the falsity of these assertions, but they hope, that ere that time arrives, their ends will be answered, and then they would give themselves little trouble to satisfy their dapes of their insecurity.
Notwithstanding the cry of the tories that we might trade to Spain and Portugal in safety, it appears that neither of those powers have released a single American vessel which had been detained there under the decrees of Napoleon. So much for the friendship of the Spanish Patriots."
For the N. H. Gazette.
Messrs. Printers, I HAVE recently noticed in the Portsmouth Oracle a very extraordinary advertisement, signed Edward J. Long: In reviewing the publications in your Gazette and in the Oracle that led to this advertisement, I see nothing to render it necessary.
Let any man possessed of a liberal mind, read the several pieces which Mr. Long subjects may apply to him, and then say whether in this particular he has acted correctly.
Why does he wish to know the author of the paragraph in the Gazette of the 27th September? Is a knowledge of the author necessary to the establishment of Mr. Long's innocence?—surely not? nor would a personal quarrel be a justification in any case.—If Mr. Long will deny that he made statements in the country similar to those with which he is charged in Mr. Bargin's letter, let him do so unequivocally, that those who knew him may be satisfied—Or if he made the statements let him prove that they are founded in truth.
Mr. Long is mistaken in the supposition that the author of the paragraph in the Gazette is a "coward"—he is only not quarrelsome.
Nor is he a "malicious villain"—he feels no enmity against Mr. Long; heretofore he was a friend! but it was his duty to institute the enquiry in the Gazette in order to establish the truth or falsehood of one of the many reports that had been circulated.
Nor is he a "prevaricating scoundrel"—had Mr. Long applied to him he would have avowed himself the author of the first publication; of the last he had no knowledge.
Nor is he a "liar"—he made no assertion in the Gazette, but was induced to ask a question, in preference to publishing a letter, (not that of Mr. Bargin's which has been published.)
Mr. Long intimates that you are too insignificant to be punished; he might think me equally so; but what does he think of Mr. Bargin?—That gentleman does not foresee himself from "merited chastisement"; nor indeed do you. Messrs. Printers; neither will I, when the publication of my name is necessary to establish truth, or to protect the innocent.
FOUND, in this town, last week, a small silver WATCH—The owner may have the same by proving property & paying charges—Inquire of the Printers. Portsmouth, November 8.

On Friday last the Election of Electors took place in this State. At the close of the poll in this town, the result was:—    Republican  701.    Federal  352.    Republicans of Portsmouth!
You have done well, but greater exertions were expected of you; your numbers has decreased since August. The means which were resorted to by the federalists will give neither permanence nor respectability to their cause. They should have produced no effect on you. You are contending for LIBERTY & EQUAL RIGHTS; you should therefore regard neither frowns nor menaces; neither intimidation nor flattery; but steadily pursue your object. Your brethren in the country have struggled nobly, and justly expect you to do your share of the duty. Should the Republican Ticket be lost by your listlessness or neglect, will you not have cause for deep regret? Rouse from your slumbers ere your lucks are shorn! Gird up your loins like men! Meet the enemies of your rights without fear, and henceforward you will meet your friends without reproach!

By comparing the above Towns with the Representative Election of August last,—We find The Republican gain is 937!!!
So well skilled and so profuse is the Oracle man in his misrepresentations, that he not only drove the business vehemently prior to the election, but on Saturday last furnished his customers with a fresh supply.
HERE IT IS!!! "We have heard from only one town—A person came in town last evening from Rye, who reports that the Democratic ticket had 135 votes—At the last election it had 183. It is much to be hoped the people in that town are coming to their senses." (Oracle.) At the last election, the republican ticket in Rye had 173, and the federal 4—the fact is, the feds have lost 2, and the republicans have gained 2—as the votes in Rye at this election are 175 republican and 2 federal—But perhaps by his new arithmetic he can make this a net gain of 48 votes.
Among the falsehoods resorted to by the federalists of New-England, were those of attributing to conspicuous democrats, sentiments and sayings unfavorable to the embargo policy—They ventured so far as to assert that J. Langdon and E. Gerry were hostile to it! Both of these gentlemen, on the contrary, are warmly in favor of it. Mr. Gerry drew up the Democratic Difficult from the federal petition at Cambridge in Massachusetts, and John Langdon published an article under his own signature, refuting the federal calumny. But the federalists had already gained their purposes by spreading these and similar falsehoods far and wide; and that is all they wanted. To alarm to make an impression by a bold assertion is their master-policy. When one is worn out or refuted, they trump up a new one. Republicans!—beware of their arts—W.H.G.
....DIED.... In Boston, on Sunday evening last, Mrs. MARY ELIZABETH SYMMES, aged 39. As it was her last request that she should be brought to this town, and buried near her parents; it is probable her funeral will proceed from the house of Mr. Charles Peirce on Thursday next, at 4 o'clock P.M. where her relatives and friends will please to attend.
At Wolfborough, ISAIAH ORNE, Esquire aged 53—For many years a Representative to the General Court of this State—He always supported the character of a firm Republican, an undeviating Patriot—and a bitter enemy to foreign influence, usurpation and tyranny,—but an admirer & supporter of true liberty and genuine Republicanism. His character as a husband, parent, a neighbor and a friend, was kind, indulgent, obliging and sincere.—The public sustains a heavy loss in the death of Esquire Orne.
At Rye, on the 31st ult. much lamented, Mrs. SALLY, wife of Lieut. JOSEPH JENNINGS, and youngest daughter of Deacon Reuben Philbrick, aged 30.—A person of an amiable disposition, and a pious mind. She bore her last sickness, which, was long, painful & distressing, with exemplary patience and resignation. Her mind was uniformly composed, and animated with hope.—She appeared to entertain realizing views of death for some time before her decease; but, so far from being dismayed at its approach, she even longed for the arrival of the time of her departure; being fully persuaded, that to depart and be with Christ, would be far better than to abide here. She has left only one child, but numerous friends, to lament her early exit.
In this town, MADAM ANN PENHALLOW, aged 78, the amiable consort of John Penhallow, Esq. and first directors of the Portsmouth Female Asylum;—She was a lady possessing every virtue and accomplishment which could adorn the female character—Her conduct was at all times uniform, unassuming and praiseworthy. Long must society mourn the loss of so valuable a member.—Also in this town, Miss Martha Shannon, aged 8, daughter of Richard C. Shannon, Esq.
In Virginia, Col. John Page, late Governor of that State. Col. Vivian Brooking, Esq. 73.
At Baltimore, Rev. Leonard Cassell, of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
In Philadelphia, Peter Andrews, a worthy minister of the Society of Friends. In Pennsylvania Wm. Whitman, Esq. the democratic candidate to represent the county of Berks in the house of representatives of the U. S. he died suddenly while on his return home from his election district.
In Amherst, N. H. Capt. Daniel Prior, postmaster, aged 48.
At Goffstown, N. H. John Craig, aged 76. At Salem, Mass. Mr. Nathaniel Foster, d 95, the oldest man in town.

STATE OF NEWHAMPSHIRE, Rockingham ss. To the Honorable the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas, begun and holden at Exeter, within and for the said county of Rockingham, on the second Tuesday of August, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eight:
THE petition of the subscriber, agent for the town of Pembroke, in said county, legally chosen, humbly shews that a road or public highway on the first Tuesday of January, A.D. 1803, was by this Honorable Court laid out in said town of Pembroke, beginning at Buck-street Bridge in said town of Pembroke, thence running North seventy degrees, West forty five rods across Buck-street to Joseph Jenners' land, thence North seventy degrees, West sixty rods, thence North sixty two and an half degrees, West fifty six rods, thence North fifty seven and a quarter degrees, West seventy five rods, thence North fifty nine degrees, West one hundred and seventeen rods, thence North sixty degrees and an half, West sixty rods, thence North sixty two degrees and a quarter, West two hundred and sixty four rods to the highway leading from Pembroke to Concord on the top of low cook hill, thence on said way North thirty degrees, West eighteen rods, thence North seventy one and an half degrees, West partly on Elliots' land fifty two rods to a stake spotted on four sides standing on the Easterly bank of low cook river, and that said road remains impassable; that it is laid out over such hilly unsuitable and bad ground as to make the expence of opening said road to the town of Pembroke very great and of little or no advantage to the public; that there is other ground over which a road might be made with much less expence to the said town of Pembroke, and of as much utility to the public upon nearly the same direction as the said road laid out as aforesaid by this Hon. Court, viz. leading from said low cook river to Buck-street bridge.—Your petitioner, agent as aforesaid, therefore, prays your Honors would appoint a committee to view the ground over which the said road was laid out by this Hon. Court, and the ground adjoining, and to make report thereof as soon as may be, and your petitioner as aforesaid begs leave humbly to represent that there is ground over which a road might be laid out, made and occupied more conveniently than that laid out as aforesaid by this Honorable Court; beginning at Buck-street bridge, thence running to the old road, thence upon the said old road to Truworth Dudley's land, thence through said Dudley's land, and land of Daniel Knox, Esq. to said Knox's house, thence through said Knox's land and land of Daniel Holt to a certain Pine tree on the Easterly corner of David Lovejoy's land on the hill road, so called, thence on said hill road to Capt. John Heads land, thence upon nearly a straight line to the top of low cook hill: your petitioner as aforesaid therefore prays that this Honorable Court would consent that the ground first aforesaid mentioned, may be exchanged for the ground last aforesaid mentioned, or for such other ground as near thereto as may be thought by this Hon'ble Court most advantageous, when viewed by a committee, and as in duty bound will pray. NATHL. DEARBORN. Agent for said town of Pembroke.
