GODWIN'S REPENTANCE.
The famous Jacobin Godwin has written to a correspondent in this country, that he regretted exceedingly his ever having written what he had written; that he was now brought to see the weakness and viciousness of his writings, and that his head and his heart revolted from the reflection of his former conduct and opinions.
If any one doubts this, he may, by applying at this office, have the name of the person who received the letter from Godwin, and complete evidence of the truth of this statement.
NORFOLK, October 8.
Pilots and others who passed through Hampton Roads yesterday, positively assert, that the French frigate "Semillante," which has been for a length of time "blockaded" by a British frigate of inferior force, had got under way—as the "Ambuscade" British frigate is only a short distance to the southward of the light house, no doubt (if the Frenchman does not stop short) we shall soon hear of some hard knocks, and perhaps, a fraternal hug?
BALTIMORE, October 13.
A letter from Dover (D.) of the 10th instant, says "We have carried all our federal representatives for this county, as well as senator, but general Mitchell, the federal candidate for governor, had only a majority of 60 votes in this county. In New-Castle the democratic party gave a majority against him of 783. In that county democracy stalks about triumphantly, but thank God, in Kent, as yet, we are preserved from that malignant disease. As it respects our assembly, we are federal, but the democrats have succeeded in the election of governor. Col. Hall, their candidate, having the bare majority of nine votes only, throughout the state."
PHILADELPHIA, October 13.
We have received an interesting communication from our correspondent in London, from which we make the following Important Extract :
LONDON, AUG. 27.
"An account is given me this morning, and as I have received it from a gentleman who is in habits of intimacy with Sir Wm. Hamilton and Lord Nelson, and who came over in his suit some time ago, I am induced to pay great respect to the information. He assured me that Government had transmitted an order to Lord St. Helens, to repair with speed to Paris, where he will be received as Ambassador from the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, as negotiator there for Peace with the Continental of France."
"It is not doing justice to this intelligence to term it a report; for I give it you as exclusive information, or private and important intelligence, derived from a friend whose sphere is in the upper circles of life; in short you get it from the well-head ."
NEW-YORK, October 10.
Verbal information by the Clio, from Bordeaux, states, that Joseph Bonaparte, brother to the Chief Consul, was on the eve of proceeding to London, and had obtained the usual passports for that purpose.
OCT. 18.
News from Algiers, &c.
Extract of a letter from an Officer on board the United States Ship President, to a friend in this city, dated.
Tunis Bay, Coast of Barbary, July 19. "We arrived in the Bay of Algiers on the 9th, and were visited by our faithful Consul, Mr. O'Brien, who had yet preserved every thing quiet with this regency, although a growing impatience had evinced itself in the Dey, from the delay of his presents from our government; but it soon subsided when he became acquainted with our mission, and renewed his assurances of friendship and esteem for the United States. He refused to receive his annuity in specie, but agreed to wait for the shipment of stores, which are to be sent from the United States, and received his cloth and linen only, presented as a part of the price of his friendship."
"At present he appears to be in a state of rest, and prosecuting no kind of warfare with any christian power. A variance still exists between him and the Grand Signior, the minister of the former being yet confined at the Porte."
"I had the satisfaction of seeing his Majesty, which are laid up in ordinary in the Mole of Algiers, and consist of two frigates, one of which is their own built, and bears a very handsome appearance, but is very tender; the other is the Crescent, a present from our government. The brig Hassan Bafshaw, and another armed brig, with two armed Schooners, 8 galleys of different force, and a number of xebecs, constitute the
trifling force that awes the European and American nations into the degrading system of tribute."
"On the eleventh we sailed from Algiers Bay for Tunis, and arrived in a bay of that name on the 17th following, nothing of importance occurring on our passage. A dispatch having been sent to notify our Consul at Tunis of our arrival here, he came on board the following morning, when we were extremely happy to find we were yet on friendly terms with this Regency, altho' its existence would have been short but for our timely arrival."
"Mr. Eaton, our Consul, informs us they had become very troublesome, and it required every exertion and argument to pacify these barbarians until the arrival of their presents."
"Mr. Cathcart, our Consul at Tripoli, who from the crisis of our affairs with that Regency had been compelled to depart that city and retire to Tunis, as I before mentioned, has left Tunis for Leghorn, and is on his way to America. This gentleman has been indefatigable to continue our peace with that power; but the unjust demands made by the Bafhaw upon the United States are such as excite indignation, and which America never will conform to. I have not heard that he has yet made a capture, although several of his corsairs are at sea, cruising for our commerce. The alarm is sufficiently given by Mr. Cathcart, and every protection that can be afforded by the squadron will no doubt be given."
"The Essex, with the convoy, has just come to anchor, bringing the Grand Turk, laden with presents for the Bey, safe, and under her care."
"We sail shortly on a cruise and may in all probability proceed to Tripoli."
OCT. 16.
Yesterday morning the frigate Boston, with our envoy to France, Mr. Livingston, sailed from this port, with a fine fair breeze from the north-west. As she passed Fort Jay, she was honored with a federal salute.
The Lady Hobart Packet, for Falmouth, failed in company with the Boston—but the Boston outfailed her.
ALBANY, Oct. 15.
The Convention for the purpose of amending the Constitution of this state, met in this city on Tuesday last. The Hon. Aaron Burr, Vice-President of the United States, and Delegate to the Convention from the county of Orange, was chosen President.
WOODSTOCK, Sept. 30.
On Tuesday 9th inst. Mr. Israel Williams, of this town, having, with the assistance of another person, raised upon his shoulder a large stick of wood, about 12 feet in length, and then finding it too heavy to attempt removing it further, threw it down suddenly, when, to his great surprise, his little son, near seven years old, had unexpectedly proceeded behind him, within reach of the stick, which crushed him to the earth and put an end to his mortal existence in less than half an hour!
BOSTON, October 23.
From SALEM—Oct. 19.
Late News from the Red Sea.
Arrived here on Saturday, ship Recovery, Capt. Dana, in 118 days from Moka, at the mouth of the Red Sea. The Recovery left Moka on the 22d of June, and brings the following intelligence:—That a very large fleet of British transport ships had gone up the Red Sea with troops; it was impossible to ascertain the exact number of men employed; some accounts stated the number at 8000 men—there were several European regiments, and the remainder were the Sepoys of the East Indies. The expedition was supposed to have employed upwards of 100 sail of large country ships—the grand fleet entered the Red Sea in April, but one division of 20 ships, arrived late in May. Before the Recovery failed from Moka, news had reached there that the army had landed at Coffire and Suez, as little or no opposition could be made—The English had also taken possession of an Island at the head of the Red Sea, and used it as a depot for their stores. All was hurry and bustle at Moka, where the British had commissaries to purchase provisions and supplies for the troops. The frigate La Forte had been lost in the Red Sea. Col. Popham, from the Cape of Good Hope, had joined the army. The English had very few men of war, and it was said that these intended to sail to cruise off the coast of Brazils.
Letters from Paris represent that capital as exhibiting a state of luxury exceeding that of any former period. The theatres every night full, provisions very plentiful and cheap; and no paper money in circulation excepting bank notes of fifty Louis d'ors.
A letter from an officer on board the United States frigate President, in Gibraltar Bay, dated July 3, says, "The Governor of this garrison has shown a disposition to accommodate the squadron in every manner compatible with his ability; and a very happy intercourse exists between the officers of our ship, and the officers of the garrison."
A letter from the Mate of an A-
merican vessel, dated Barcelona, Aug. 3, 1801, to his friend in this place, says, "Every countenance looks smiling; this morning the Americans warped into the Road, and in a few days will sail, some bound to one port, and some to another, and all out of the Straits."
"Judge what a pleasing sight it is to us, after being three months and upwards blocked up here by the ferocious Tripolitans, to see our country's flag unfurled for our protection."
"Down with all those who are inimical to the Naval Establishment for they are no friends to their country; or conceive its whole life and honor is founded on a quite different basis from what it really is. A navy is the only means we have of commanding any respect among the nations. The three ships only, which are in those seas, have destroyed all the power of the Tripolitans. One blockades their Admiral with the two largest of their ships, in Gibraltar—a second, their port, and the third gives us convoy. We have now nothing to fear from them; and I hope the Government of the United States, will in future pay their tributes to all nations in powder and balls; for it is the surest way of keeping peace, and I think the cheapest way in the end."
From PROVIDENCE, Oct. 21.
Late last evening we received a New-York paper of Monday last, which contains a report of the resident physician in that city, stating the number of deaths, from the 1st to the 18th inst. to have been 88, of a malignant fever.
The same paper contains London news to the 4th of September; the most important article of which represents the negotiation between England and France as rapidly drawing near to a good understanding on the basis of preliminaries, or to a complete rupture. It was understood that the ultimatum of the British cabinet, on the outlines of the proposed treaty, had been transmitted to Paris. The Elected of Hanover has acceded to the treaty concluded at Luneville in February last, between France and Austria.

PORTLAND, Oct. 19.
CURIOUS PHENOMENON.
Last Friday evening, between the hours of eight and nine, a meteor was observed about 60 or 70 degrees above the horizon. The bearing at its first appearance was nearly north, & resemblance, that of a very luminous ball of the size of a man's hat; some say much larger. It moved with great velocity to the westward, gradually diminishing in size till it vanished, leaving a brilliant and spangled, or starry train, which continued for about two minutes. Tho' the moon shone very bright, the splendor of the meteor is said by those who observed it, to have surpassed the light of the moon.
From the Vermont Journal.
Governor's Speech.
On the 8th inst. the General Assembly of the State convened at Newbury; and His Excellency Gov. TICHENOR, delivered the following
ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of the Council, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, In a state regulated in its expenditures by the strictest regimen of economy, the public appropriation must be the principle reward of its Magistrates—that I have the honor of addressing you again, as your Chief Magistrate, evidences the confidence of the freemen for my past conduct, and urges to active and zealous pursuit of their best welfare.
The constitution of the state under which we are now assembled, is happily formed on the principles of freedom, and has for its object the interest of the great body of the people; To discover this interest, will be the subject of your deliberations; to preserve it, the result of your doings.
Upon the habits and opinions, the principles of the people, both civil and religious, republican governments solely depend; when the people are habituated to respect the Laws and their Magistrates, and aided by the impulses of Religion, are attached by political principles to their government, its administration will prosper, and the people be happy. But when they are habituated to view their government as prodigal or oppressive, to be over jealous of the character and conduct of their magistrates, and from bad principles are induced to vilify or obstruct its public acts, and meet no restraint from religious or moral considerations, the government hastens rapidly to ruin. It is then highly important that the General Assembly, as the political Fathers of the people, should endeavour, by all candid means, to direct the public sentiment. To effect this, the Legislature must possess the confidence of the people. This, gentlemen you will continue to do, by enacting wise and beneficial laws—by providing for public expenditures, and enforcing proper economy in governmental expenses—by electing men of abilities, worth and integrity, into office—by inculcating found morals, and recommending a reverence for the great and salutary duties of Religion.
The institutions of religious worship, and the establishment of Colleges and Academies in this state will afford us much assistance. While our youth are trained up in knowledge and virtue, and the people practice in assembling for the purposes of Religious Instruction and Devotion, we may rationally hope that good principles will prevail, and have their happy effect in all our personal and public proceedings.
The appointment to Civil Offices is a necessary part of the business, which the constitution assigns to the General Assembly, at their annual session; unfortunately for our country, this has become a matter of discord and party contention in some part of the Union.
It cannot be necessary, and it cannot be expedient, to make that which the constitution contemplates as a very serious and important duty, become a matter of party contention or private interest. By avoiding every thing which has the appearance of partiality, of intolerance and private interest, and by aiming to appoint those men who are the best fitted and qualified to discharge the public offices and services; we prefer to ourselves the approbation of our own minds, and give to our fellow citizens complete evidence that the principles of republicanism are not the principles of contention, of intolerance, of individual interest, or of faction; but those of candor, of public utility, and national prosperity.
In the translation and management of public business in general, a spirit of candor, temperance and prudence, is an essential requisite. No affairs of importance can ever be done to advantage, when the mind is agitated with intemperate passion, or inflamed by party purposes and pursuits. In a state, therefore, superior to such influences, it may be presumed that they will not be permitted now to prevail: but that wisdom, discretion and benevolence, will mark all the proceedings of the present session.
It is with much satisfaction I announce to you the prosperous state of our Finances. The Public Debt due on hard money Orders has been discharged—a small annual Tax will in future be fully adequate to meet the expenses of Government.
I cannot omit recommending to your particular attention, the state of our Militia. That brave and useful part of our fellow-citizens, upon whom the sure and immediate defence of our country depends, are greatly deficient in military equipments—the greater part are destitute of arms—the law on this subject has lain dormant—and six years experience has evidenced its inutility—the soldier has found it difficult, if not impracticable to comply with it, and the officers, sensible of this, have omitted to enforce it. Whether it would be proper to purchase arms for their use, or by encouraging the manufactory of Arms in this State, and thereby afford the Militia an opportunity
of equipping themselves, is worth your consideration; Field Artillery is of indispensable use in modern tactics—and in almost all our sister states, provided at the expense of government. Two field pieces to each brigade would not be expensive or burdensome in our present state of prosperity. A tax of such a beneficial intent, would be cheerfully submitted to by all classes of people—they would feel a virtuous pride in cherishing that military zeal which has hitherto animated the militia of this state. Surely the public treasure cannot be better expended than for national defence. Assuredly, the brave, hardy militia of Vermont, have merited the patronage of their country, as highly as any soldiery in the Union.
A letter from the Governor of the state of Maryland, covering certain Resolutions of that State, as well as some other subjects of lesser import, will be communicated by a special message.
It is not barely to the limits of this state, that our political duties are confined; they extend much farther, and have relation to the whole of the federal union. Happy in our own state by enjoying a republican form of government, it is another and important part of our political trust, that we are connected with the other free states of America, by a federal constitution, mutually guaranteeing to each other, and to the whole, protection and defence; our duty to the federal government, does not depend on names, persons or political distinctions—least of all, does it depend on having the other states uniting with us in the election of any particular person to be President of the United States—Whoever holds that important office, by constitutional appointment and authority, is justly entitled to all the respect and obedience which the constitution and laws have attached to the office—and that which in the federal system, is to be revered and obeyed, is not any particular name or opinion, but national and constitutional authority—there cannot, therefore, be a doubt, but that it is our duty to support the federal union, to obey the federal laws, and to do all in our power to support and preserve the best and fairest political production of the last century—the constitution and government of the United States.
As the increase of population, is one of the acknowledged criterions of the increasing prosperity of a people, I cannot refrain from congratulating you, upon the great and rapid increase of our citizens, since the last census. This will probably call for a new apportionment of Representatives from this State, to the Congress of the United States; and at the next annual session of this Assembly, it may be necessary to revisit the State anew; for the election of a requisite number of Representatives. At the present session it may be also expedient to repeal the act directing the election of members for Congress, to be held in the month of September next, and to adopt such measures as shall render an extraordinary session of the legislature for this purpose unnecessary.
I shall be ready to concur with you, gentlemen, in any measures of public utility—and humbly rely upon a superintending Providence, that all our honest endeavours for the public good, may be crowned with success.
ISAAC TICHENOR.
THE JAWBONE OF JACOBINISM.
An eminent dentist, in England, has lately been before the privy council; the charge upon which he was examined, is said to be this, that he had entered into a contract with some German Jews on the continent, who furnish him with the finest teeth of the French Sans Culottes,
"Who in the battle are slain, And unburied remain, Inglorious on the plain."
and that, when he receives them, he transports them into the jaws of his majesty's liege subjects in these realms, thereby propagating and fixing jacobinical principles in their heads, and, as it were, planting the tree of liberty in their very Jawbones!
We know not what was the result of the inquiry. But certainly, too much praise cannot be bestowed on Mr. Reves, by whose vigilance ministers have been enabled to detect and punish such dangerous practices as this bold attempt to cram jacobinism down the throats of the people, in spite of their teeth.

To Ebenezer Brown, Justice of the Peace.
THE subscriber being a proprietor owner of more than one sixteenth part of the land in Wales's location, in said county, request you to warn the proprietors of said Wales's location, to meet at the house of Simeon Drake, in Pittsfield, county of Rockingham, in said State, on the third Wednesday in November next, at two o'clock, A.M. to act on the following business.
1st. To choose a moderator, a clerk, assessors, a collector, a treasurer, a committee, and all legal officers for their use.
2d. To see how much they will allow to be pitched on a right, and what method they will take to sever said location to each original proprietor, and how much money they will raise to defray expenses; and to act on all other business which they may think expedient.
SAM'L G. BISHOP.
Cockburn, Sept. 5, 1801.
In pursuance to the foregoing request, I hereby notify and warn the proprietors of the abovenmentioned Wales's location to meet at the time, place and for the purpose specified above.

LONDON, SEPT. 4.
THE NEGOCIATION.
There are some grounds to believe, that the negociation is rapidly drawing near to a perfect good understanding on the basis of preliminaries or to a complete rupture. We understand, from a most respectable quarter, that the ultimatum of our government on the outlines of the proposed treaty, was transmitted to Paris last Friday . It is certain that at no period since the commencement of pacific communications between both powers, has the interchange of dispatches been so frequent and the succession of couriers between their respective agents so quick, as within the last seven days.
The funds yesterday morning felt a sudden depression, in consequence of a report that M. Otto had given up his lodgings at Hampstead, and was about to leave England. One part of this report is well founded, as M. Otto quits Hampstead this day, having only taken them for the summer months; but as to his leaving this country in virtue of the present state of the negociation, the rumour is certainly false.
The French funds have fallen one and a half per cent. They are 47.—There is no more visible cause for their fall than there was for their rise.
His Majesty, as Elector of Hanover has given his assent to the treaty of Luneville.
Admiral Lord Nelson still continues in the Downs, with his flag flying on board the Amazon frigate. Part of his flotilla, which was left cruising off Calais, has been obliged to return, in consequence of the gales of wind from the south-west.
Our squadron has been forced off Boulogne by a strong westerly wind, which has also obliged the French to draw in their flotilla.
There are, we understand, in the harbour of Helvoetsluys, eight sail of the line, fourteen gun-boats, and four sloops. The number of troops in the environs, it is said, amounts to 10,000 men.
The boats-crews of the squadron on the French coast have at length succeeded in blowing up the Jason frigate, which had run a ground near St. Maloes.
With such a Navy as we possess, which may almost be said to exceed the maritime strength of the world if it were combined against us, it is impossible, that the French Government can presume to hope that we shall assent to a Peace inconsistent with the dignity and interest of this Country, weighed in the largest scale of national importance. If that Government can however indulge so presumptuous an expectation, the People of the British Empire, when the proposed terms are submitted to their consideration, will approve the conduct of their Rulers, and evince a cordial unanimity in supporting the honour of their Country.
Among the new appointments of President Jefferson, is that of a Consul General, at London. Mr. Williams, who was promoted to that office by Mr. Adams, and who has filled it for two years past, is to be succeeded by Mr. J. Erving, son of George Erving, Esq. of George-street, Hanover-square. Mr. J. Erving, whose father was an American Royalist, has resided much in America, and is a young gentleman of great talents and respectability.
GIBRALTAR, Aug. 7.
Reports of French troops collecting in Spain, and of a meditated attack upon this fortress, still continue to prevail; and to be generally credited. It is surmised, that a sudden onset, with a very great force, is the mode to be adopted.
It is a fact, which all the accounts from Egypt, by the Spider sloop of war, concur in establishing, that the Mamelukes joined the British army, in force, immediately on the investment of Cairo.
The British have taken possession of and established a fort on the island of Gebel-tor, about 60 leagues N. W. of Mocha.
The British have sent an Envoy to the King of Senna.
The following is an account of the curious experiment for lifting ships in dock to put in a new keel, which was tried for the first time on the Canopus , of 84 guns, in Plymouth Dock , last Friday, by Mr. Sibbins, the builder's first assistant:—By means of wedges driven against the blocks on each side the keel, and the use of the catapulta, or battering ram, applied to them, the blocks are forced out, much easier and with
less danger. Fewer shores are required to support the ship, which also strains less, and hangs as it were in slings:—by this simple operation 40 men in 12 hours can perform as much work as used to take, on the old principle, 300 men three days; although some ships, in the old method of knocking out the blocks under the keel, have settled from 8 to 10 inches the Canopus only settled one quarter of an inch by this new method. A numerous concourse of artists and others attended to see the experiment tried on the Canopus , and were perfectly satisfied with its usefulness and simplicity.
WASHINGTON, October 14.
We are induced to believe that the Executive finds it difficult to procure the acceptance of the Post-Office by a suitable character. Report has preferred it to several gentlemen, who are said to have declined it.
NORFOLK, October 10.
Information to Merchants.
It is indispensably necessary that all captains of vessels bound to sea should carry with them a Certificate of Property , attested before some notary public in the district wherein the owner resides; many instances have occurred where vessels captured on suspicion, and which would have been cleared if the captains had possessed this paper, have been condemned solely for want of sufficient proof of property. Captain Elliot, who has favoured us with this information, asserts that his vessel would have been condemned in Jamaica had he not sworn in court before the Judge, when sitting on the trial of his vessel, that the ship was his own property. A copy of the form of the certificate is left with the printers, for the benefit of those concerned.
NOTICE.
We do certify, that the malignant yellow fever which prevailed with violence for some time past, has now nearly ceased; and that the health of the town appears to be improving daily. We know of no instance in which the disease has been communicated by contagion.
SELDEN & WHITEHEAD, TAYLOR & HANSFORD.
The signers to the above are respectable physicians in this town.
JOHN COWPER, Mayor.
WILMINGTON, October 14.
Having in our last unequivocally mentioned that Mr. Hall, the democratic candidate, was elected Governor of this State, by a Majority of nineteen!—We have now reason to believe, (from very particular circumstances) that that majority will be contested, which may probably lead to a SCRUTINY of the VOTES, and produce a NEW ELECTION.
PHILADELPHIA, October 17.
It is said the legality of the late election for Governor of the state of Delaware is to be contested.
Extract of a letter from Leghorn, August 11.
"Commodore Dale blockades Tripoli, and to the time he commenced the blockade (23d July) no one American vessel had been carried into that port. There remains in this port, Tamerlane, Capt. Aemes, to sail in ten days, and the Hillman, Capt. Cook for New-York."
NEW-YORK, October 19.
The nine-days fever-alarm is nearly over—Yesterday, many stores which had been shut on Friday and Saturday, were opened. The fine weather, with Dr. Tillary's last report, have had a most happy tendency. Business again begins to be the order of the day.
Capt. Hanifen, who arrived here yesterday from Currao, informs us, that on the 21st of September, an Embargo took place there—That the British were fitting out privateers to cruise against Spanish marauders—and, that 800 British troops had arrived there from St. Lucia, to garrison that place.
By the Philadelphia papers of Saturday, we find that, in the trial of the suit of Hollingsworth vs. Duane, editor of the Aurora, the jury have returned a verdict for the plaintiff of 600 dollars damages, and costs of suit. Duane says, after the above verdict, another prosecution was commenced at the suit of Levi Hollingsworth, against the editor of the Aurora—for what (says Duane) we have yet to learn.
BOSTON, October 24.
Mr. John Appleton, the official bearer of the ratified treaty between the United States and France, arrived here yesterday, in the brig Reward , from Dieppe.
Capt. Smith arrived at New-York, from Bourdeaux, mentions the arrival there of Mr. Consul Lee, from this port.
Accounts from New-York, by yes-
terday's mail, say, the fever was rapidly disappearing; and business resuming its activity.
IMPROVEMENTS.
Several sheets of Sheet-Copper produced at the manufactory of Colonel Paul Revere and Son, at Stoughton, were yesterday lodged at the Insurance-offices in this town. At a very great expence those ingenious gentlemen have erected works, where Copper for sheathing ships, cold rolled, is produced; which has been pronounced by the best judges equal to any manufactured in Great Britain.—The frigate Boston was bolted and spiked, with bolts and spikes from this manufactory, cold planished, from maleable copper, and equal to European. Every friend to the manufactures of the United States must be pleased with this information.
PORTSMOUTH, October 27.
THURSDAY the twenty-sixth day of NOVEMBER next, is appointed by His Excellency the Governor, with advice of Council, to be observed as a day of Public Thanksgiving and Prayer throughout this State.
On Tuesday last the First Battalion of the First Regiment under the command of Major SETH WALKER turned out for inspection of arms. The six companies in this town under command of Captains Long, Sparhawk, and Cutter, uniformed; and G. Walker, Melcher, and Leighton, ununiformed, mustered at 10 o'clock, and marched on to the plains, where they were joined by Capt. Pickering's company from Newington, and after the review, a few sham skirmishes took place, which were effected with a rapidity, ease, and exactness that would have done credit to troops who had received more advantages than these.—At six o'clock the companies filed off for their various homes.
We understand a Purse of fifty dollars is made up at Greenland for a heat Race of one mile. Any gentleman in this county wishing to try the strength and spirit of their horses, may have an opportunity by applying to the Federal Eagle , in Greenland before the 6th of November.
His Excellency Isaac Tichenor has been re-elected Governor; and His Honor Paul Brigham, Lieutenant Governor, of Vermont. Amos Marsh, Esq. has been chosen Speaker of the House of Assembly, and Roswell Hopkins, Esq. Secretary of the State.—Much to the honor of Vermont, American Republicanism still predominates in that State; and French Republicanism appears to have gained no new converts.
The fraternity of Freemasons at the Hague have voted a gold medal, of 50 ducats, for the best refutation of the charges of Barruel, Professor Robinson, &c. against that order.—The writer, in Dutch, English, French or German, "must, briefly but forcibly, exhibit the proofs that the fraternity had no share whatever, either in originating or promoting the religious and political schisms which have desolated Europe."
