MISCELLANY.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
BY THE GOVERNOR.
A PROCLAMATION.
AT this season of the year it is highly proper for us, according to the usage of our pious ancestors, to devote a day to the honor and praise of the Almighty;—that with united devotion, we may abundantly offer the memory of His great goodnes, and sing of His righteousness; and that we may teach our children His praises and His wonderful works—that the generation to come may know them, and the children which shall be born, that they may set their hope in God.
I do, therefore, with the advice and consent of the Council, appoint THURSDAY , the Twenty-eighth day of November, next, to be observed in this Commonwealth as a Day of PUBLIC THANKS-GIVING and PRAISE ; and the several denominations of Christians are requested to assemble in their respective places of public Worship on that day;—that we may unite in rendering our humble and solemn thanks to the great Author of all our mercies;—for the protection which He has afforded to the people of this State from its early settlement;—that he brought our Forefathers from their native country, and gave them this land for a possession, because He had a favor to them; that when they were few in number and strangers in it, He suffered no man to do them wrong;—and that in times of distress and danger He has ever been the refuge of their posterity, and defended them with the saving strength of His right hand. For the preservation of our civil privileges; that we have constitutions of Government so well adapted to promote our

GEN. EATON'S EXPEDITION.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Pascal P. Peck, (son of Col. Wm. Peck) an officer on board the U.S. brig Argus , commanded by Isaac Hull Esq. dated Malta, June 4.
By the President, which fails for America, in a few days, I embrace the favorable opportunity of writing to you a few lines. You will no doubt be anxious and feel a little surprised at my long silence, and will, perhaps, place it to neglect or want of affection; but when I assure you I have not been in a Christian country for nearly eight months before, you will form an opinion that will be more correspondent to the feelings of my heart. Time and my duty will not permit me to write you as lengthy as I could wish; I will, however, give you a short account of our journey across the Libyan Desert, where we suffered almost every thing possible, but in the end gained a glorious victory, and in a great measure contributed to the bringing the Basha of Tripoli to terms of peace. About the middle of November we failed from Malta, bound to Egypt (having on board as passenger William Eaton Esq.) in search of Hamet Basha, the rightful sovereign of Tripoli, to endeavor to effect a co-operation with him against his brother, the reigning Basha of Tripoli. We arrived at the port of Alexandria on the 24th of November, and Mr. Eaton went to Grand Cairo in search of the Ex-Basha. After a long series of difficulties, dangers, and vexations, Mr. Eaton arrived near Alexandria with the Basha, and about forty persons in his suit, about the 6th February. Mr. E. returned on board, and the Basha formed his camp about 11 miles from Alexandria, where he was occasionally reinforced by the Bedouin or desert Arabs. At the pressing solicitation of Mr. E. and at the request of Captain Hull, I consented to accompany the former across the desert, with the proviso of joining the brig at Bomba. On the 19th of Feb. Mr. E. our Lieut. of Marines, myself, and eleven marines, left the brig and joined the army, and the brig failed for Syracuse. On the 6th of March we commenced our march with about 300 well mounted Arabs, 70 christians recruited at Alexandria, and 150 camels, laden with our provisions and baggage. Our first day's march was near 40 miles. On encamping, we found the well, to all appearance, dry, and there was no water within six hours march. Here commenced the first of our sufferings—after marching nearly 40 miles in a burning sun, buoyed up with the idea of finding water at the end of our march, we found on encamping not the least sign of water, nor was a green thing to be seen. All hands were employed in cleaning out the well, but were so thirsty and fatigued they could hardly move. For myself, not having taken the precaution to procure a small skin of water to carry on my horse, had it not been for a few oranges I had, I should hardly have been able to move next morning. I laid myself down on my bed to sleep, but could not, being, for the first time in my life, almost dead with thirst. Had I possessed thousands, I would have given them for a gill of water. About day light, a little water was found, worse, if possible, than bilge water; but to me it was more delicious than the most precious cordial. We moved on the 8th, and continued our March, by irregular stages, until the 22d, halting wherever water was to be procured, and frequently suffering very much for the want of it; our only provisions a handful of rice and two biscuits a day, and every day perplexed and harassed by the Arabs for money, who, finding us in their power, endeavored to extort every thing from us.
The sad, about noon we encamped on a spacious barren plain, where there were about 5000 Bedouin Arabs encamped, all in our interest, about 10,000 camels and 50,000 sheep fed. Here we remained five days to refresh our troops. The 27th we commenced our march with a small reinforcement, consisting of 37 Arab families, with about 150 fighting men. We might have taken the whole of them, had we had a sufficiency of provisions, which were now reduced to rice only. Water was growing more and more scarce every day, and the Arabs becoming more troublesome. They seemed determined not to proceed to Bomba until news came of the arrival of our vessels, never once supposing they would arrive, but remained under an idea that we wished to get possession of some strong hold in their country, and reduce them to Christianity. They said it was impossible for a christian and a muslim to have the same interest. Our provisions were drawing to an end, and our christian soldiers on the point of mutinying. Our prospects were now gloomy indeed, when on the tenth of April, at the time when we had discovered a mutiny, a courier arrived with news of our vessels being off Bomba. In an instant the face of things changed from pensive gloom to enthusiastic gladness; the soldiers, who had refused to mount guard, returned to their duty. The next morning we marched in high spirits, being only three good days' march from Bomba, although we had only provisions for the next day. The 12th, our provisions being expended, we killed a camel for subsistence, which lasted us the 13th. On the 16th we arrived at Bomba, having been 3 days without a mouthful of provision, except a little forrel we found now and then, and a small root we dug out of the sand. To add to our distress, no well was to be seen, and no water to be found; we remained that night without a drop. The Arabs again began to murmur. Early in the morning of the 17th I was roused by the joyful sound of a fail! a fail! I went out of my tent, and enjoyed the pleasing sight of the Argus coming down the coast under full sail. All was now rejoicing and mutual congratulation. About 8, the Argus discovered us, and at 10 I enjoyed the pleasure of embracing my messmates, and sitting down to a comfortable meal, which I had not enjoyed for near 40 days. When I think on our situation in the desert, where no other christian ever set his foot, and consider what thieves the Arabs are, who would shoot a man for the buttons on his coat, and their religious prejudices, which would have been sufficient to warrant our deaths, as christians and enemies to their religion, I frequently wonder how it was possible for us to be favored in reaching Bomba. Certainly, it was one of the most extraordinary expe-
ditions ever set on foot. We were very frequently 24 hours without water, and once 47 hours without a drop. Our horses were sometimes three days, without, and for the last 20 days had nothing to eat except what they picked out of the sand. The country was a melancholy desert throughout, and for the space of 450 miles we saw neither house nor tree, nor hardly any thing green, and except in one place, not a trace of a human being."
BY THE LAST MAILS.
Raleigh, (N.C.) Oct. 7. On the 28th day of the present month, Gen. Davie, Gen. Weiborn and Col. Moore, the commissioners appointed by our legislature at their last session, will meet the commissioners appointed by the state of South Carolina, for the purpose of adjusting and ascertaining the long disputed boundary line betwixt the two states. We wish and hope that these gentlemen may be able to execute their commission in such a manner as to give the citizens of both states general satisfaction.
New-York, Oct. 18. A letter from New-Orleans, dated Sept. 1, says, "the topic of conversation, at present, is the arrest of a white Frenchman, now lodged in jail, (I understand from Martinico) who was attempting to effect an insurrection of the free people of colour and slaves. His plan had so far progressed, that, ten days from the time of his detection, they were to commence operations by firing the city of New-Orleans at different points, which was to be the signal for a general massacre of the whites "not even to spare the babe at the breast," was the order of their inhuman leader. Proclamations were prepared, offering freedom to the negroes! and it is understood there are emissaries on the coast and at Natchez, that their parts are assigned in this sanguinary plot. Happily, information was lodged with the mayor of their intention, in time to avert, for the present, the dreadful calamity."
The New Orleans Gazette of the 14th ult. says, "We can state, from a source that may be relied on, that an army of 5000 men are on its march from Mexico, to strengthen the Spanish frontier on Louisiana. We cannot but think it would be advisable for our government to throw a few thousand troops into this country. Even though we remain at peace, it would be well to show a state of preparation for war."
Boston, October 30. We expect shortly to hear of interesting intelligence from the vicinity of Cadiz; in which port about five-and-thirty sail of French and Spanish ships are moored. Lord Nelson, at the last dates, had set off to take the command of the British fleet blockading that port; and from the circumstance of his having unlimited orders, the choice of his officers, and from the professional character of the commanders of the ships already gone thither under Collingwood and Calder; we expect he will attempt the destruction of the fleet in Cadiz harbour. Of the ships he will command, are the following heavy vessels: Victory, 100 guns; Princess of Wales, 98; Britannia, 110; Prince, 98; Temeraire, 98; Neptune, 98; Spartiate, 84; Tigre, 84; and Donegal, 84; the rest are 74's all commanded by dashing Captains. His force will be about 30 sail of the line.
Our last London papers furnish the following article—"Ten thousand tons of shipping are already engaged, and have assembled at the Nore, to transport Russian troops. They are chartered for three months, at 20s. per ton per month; and if government chooses to extend the charter the owners are to receive 15s. per ton per month."
RETURN OF HEALTH.
We are extremely happy to learn, from an official publication of the Board of Health, of New-York, that, in their opinion, every reasonable cause of danger from malignant fever had, on the 25th October, ceased; and that the citizens might return to their respective homes with every probability of perfect safety.
We are told, that since, the cessation of the fever business has been unusually brisk in Philadelphia and New-York.
The Mayor of Baltimore, has annulled the order for interrupting the intercourse between New-York and Philadelphia.
The black Emperor of Hayti, complaining of the loss which his government had sustained in the non-payment of duties, by certain American Captains and Super cargoes, has issued his royal proclamation bearing date 21st of Aug. by which it is to be enforced the following Regulations:
"Art. I. From the date of the publication of the present decree, every foreign Captain upon his arrival in one of the ports of this island, shall be compelled to give security for his vessel through a Haitian or American commercial House, expressly commissioned for the purpose, to whom he shall intrust the deposit and the sale of the merchandise by him imported."
"Art. II. Every Captain of a foreign vessel which shall not be consigned to one of the houses above mentioned, or who shall himself make sale of his cargo, shall be subjected to the confiscation of his vessel and cargo."
Portsmouth,
Tuesday, November 5, 1805.
The following important intelligence by an arrival at Newport from Bourdeaux, which place they left on the 11th September; is extracted from a New-York paper.
150,000 Russians were positively on their march for Italy—All the troops in the south of France were marching to meet them—A body of French Troops had taken Venice and Naples. The "army of England" had left Boulogne in three divisions; one of the divisions passed through Lisle on the 3d Sept. for the frontiers. Austria has not yet openly declared what part she will act in the contest; but she has 300,000 men ready for service, and 60,000,000 florins in her treasury. There was no doubt in France of a combination having been formed between Russia, Austria, Sweden and the Porte, and that they would all immediately act against France.—Prussia had not decided.—Bonaparte was at Paris.
The present state of Europe might lead us to the following reflections. Britain has displayed its naval strength long enough to prove, that it can excite a powerful rivalry, and a strong combination of nations. Should the attention of France continue to be directed to its marine force, France must soon become equal to a contest for the dominion of the sea. France has displayed to the world the great progress made in its naval affairs. Its fleets cross the Atlantic, and are disciplining for the greatest naval strength. A single action might be decisive of the great question of dominion on the sea. In such an alarming situation, and approaching to the most awful crisis, Britain must divert the attention of France from the sea. The Continent must be the seat of war. Then should Russia and Austria again yield to France, the same power remains to Britain as in the close of the last continental war. Then Britain is safe and the powers of the Continent suffer. The subsidies then which are to be paid on the Continent, are for the risk and the damages, in whatever manner the war may terminate; as it is very probable, France may with some repulse after a long or a warm contest with such powerful neighbours.—Should France afterwards venture to continue the war with England and refuse peace, Britain may prefer the last blow rather than the first, and a long time to profit from every event, especially as France will have less naval strength, the more the commerce of France is interrupted.—So then should war begin again on the continent we may possibly see nations weakening and destroying each other, to save Great Britain from destruction, for which their highest reward may be to sit down exhausted and oppressed for ever. We may view the proud dominion of Britain on the sea with astonishment. But we see a greater power in her councils, when she can induce the other nations to take a war into their bosoms, to relieve her, and to open their own country for the flames which had commission to spend themselves upon distant countries. But such is the glory of Britain. Salem Reg.
MILITARY.
The second battalion of the first regiment under command of Major Goss of Rye, was reviewed on Tuesday last at Greenland, by Col. Walker. A large concourse of spectators were highly gratified with the military appearance and conduct generally of the companies composing the battalion, but the Rye companies were distinguished. The Light Infantry commanded by Capt. Wedgwood, did themselves and their captain great honor by their discipline and expertness in the military exercise. It was not thirty days since the officers of this company received their commissions. Much credit is due to captain PARSONS for his exertions in uniforming and equipping his company. They acquitted themselves extremely well on the field. We would not make invidious distinctions, and can say with pleasure that the performance of the battalion was worthy of the first regiment of Newhampshire. The maneuvering, forming and displaying columns, &c. were conducted by Major Goss with ability and correctness. Col. WALKER, accompanied with Majors SPARHAWK and LONG and the officers of the first battalion in their uniforms, was met by captain DEARBORN's company of cavalry, who formed a very handsome escort to Greenland. His Excellency the Governor, accompanied by Col. ELWYN, and Col. HARRIS was present. (Oracle.)
The company of GILMAN's BLUES commanded by Capt. LARIN, celebrated their sixth anniversary on Wednesday last. They paraded at an early hour in complete uniform, and in their various marchings, evolutions and firings, displayed a proficiency in military discipline, honorable to themselves and gratifying to numerous spectators. At two o'clock, they repaired to Davenport's Hall and partook of a sumptuous feast prepared for the occasion; after which a number of appropriate toasts were drank.
The third company of militia under command of Capt. ADAMS, made a public appearance on Friday last, and the fourth commanded by Capt.
DROWN, yesterday,—the officers flew a military spirit, honorable to the character of FREEMEN, and merit the approbation of the public.
MAMMOTH BEET.
Raised in the garden of Mr. Nath'l Weare, in this town, this year, a Beet of the following dimensions, viz. circumference 37 inches, and weight 16 pounds.
ELECTIONS.
The Aurora says of the Pennsylvania Election, that the governor was elected in 1802 by a majority of thirty thousand votes; but in 1805 he has little better than three thousand. That his rival has in the county in which he resides, a majority of nearly two thousand votes, but the Governor, in his own county, a majority of little more than two hundred.
The last accounts from New-Jersey say, that the Republicans have succeeded in nine counties without much opposition, and in many counties without any opposition.
The accounts from Vermont are favorable to the general happiness.—While a love of general freedom exists in the public sentiment, as well as pronounced by the voice of the legislature, we have nothing to fear.
YELLOW FEVER. —A Paris paper of Sept. 1, 1805, says—"They write from Madrid, that the King has rendered public the recipe of Dr. La Fuente, against the Yellow Fever;—It consists of taking from eight to ten ounces of quinquina, within the first 48 hours after the attack;—the disorder thereby looses all its malignity.—The Doctor has given a volume of cases attested by the public authorities."
The New-York Merchants' Advertiser , of Monday, contains a record of the deaths by yellow fever, in that city, from Sept. 1, to Oct. 25, 1805, amounting to 254 persons—of whom 166 were males, and 88 females.—The number of cases reported to the Board of Health, was 607.
The Circuit Court of the United States finished term on Thursday, when Richard L. Hopkins, for felony in the Post-Office at Boston was sentenced to three years imprisonment and hard labor, be whipped 20 stripes, pay costs of prosecution, and stand committed until sentence be performed. (Boston paper.)
The National Intelligencer contains a list of the names of about 270 Persons, who represent themselves to be American Seamen, impressed and detained in the British service for want of documents to prove their citizenship. The Secretary of State request their friends to procure proofs of their citizenship, &c. and to forward the same to him at Washington, in order that proper application may be made for their discharge.
On the impressment of Americans.
THERE is no imposition at which the minds of American freemen revolt with more indignation than the imprisonment of their fellow citizens by the British, or any other power by whom it is practiced. Born and educated in the exercise of personal liberty, and subject to no laws or restrictions but of their own consent, it cannot be expected that they can patiently submit to imprisonment at hard labor (the common punishment of felons) and be compelled to fight and destroy their friends, without having committed any crime, and at the pleasure of a foreign government to which they owe no affection or allegiance. The loss of property is a casualty to which all mankind are so liable that the frequency of its occurrence in a great measure renders it a matter of little surprise though not the less injury and injustice. But the freedom of pursuing lawful avocations and enjoying personal liberty, are rights inherent in our nature and guaranteed by the government under which we live and support.—Nor is it in the power of our laws or our rulers to whom we owe all our allegiance and subjection, without some cause, to restrain us for a moment in either. What then must be our sensations when our industrious and hardy citizens are stolen on the highway of nations and enslaved by a foreign power? What would be said if American citizens in France were indiscriminately taken up and sent to the galleys, in slavery; or if British subjects in this country were seized and committed to the state prison? The nation would rise in arms and reclaim its plundered and abused members. Yet equally severe and unjustifiable is the lot of our seamen impressed by the British. Seized in sight of their native habitations, and dragged on board the engines of tyranny, they are carried into all parts of the globe and compelled to labour and risk and lose their limbs and lives in battle, to gratify the pride and insolence of a foreign and lawless monarchy. The enormity of this practice is so great and notorious that it is not authorized even by the laws of the nation which practices it on its own subjects. Nor is there any civilized government so abandoned as to attempt it, excepting England. It is this government only which seizes on our freeborn citizens, and obliges them even to assist in robbing and enslaving their own countrymen. Descended from the same ancestors and speaking the same language with our oppressors, they pretend to mistake us for their own subjects, and to oblige us to prove ourselves Americans before they will relinquish their claims to our services.—But who ever af-
fected the justice of obliging every innocent man in the community to prove his innocence of crimes or suffer their punishment? Illegal impressments, however, that is, of persons sheltered by special protections, are sometimes countenanced and punished in England. But is not an American protection and certificate of citizenship as valid as a British certificate to defend us from British tyranny? Then again we are to tell that our documents are spurious, and the attestation of our magistrates and courts false and deceptive, and the papers despised and torn in pieces. And what greater insult can be offered the independence and integrity of our constituted authorities than this usage?
On the whole we cannot see that any nation, with whom the accustomed relations of humanity are pretended to be held, can be more grossly abused than we are by the British.—Hundreds or thousands of our most active and useful citizens are stolen from their families, their friends, and their country, and forced to serve and fight the battles of England against any nation with whom her caprice, or cupidity, or ambition may induce her to declare hostilities; while the connections or offspring of the transported prisoners are left to suffer the pangs of anxious uncertainty and misery of want or dependence on charity for subsistence.—Were our impressed mariners prisoners of war, they would be exempted from the hard ships and dangers of labor, shipwreck and battle—but being prisoners of peace, they are compelled to endure the whole complication of evils; while nations, with whom we are on terms of amity, perceiving our seamen manning their enemies' ships and actively employed in every species of hostility against them, must become exasperated at our agency; however passive, in the business, and stimulated to retaliate in the same manner with their unprincipled opponents.
Possessing, however, a strong and undiminished confidence in our government, we can but believe that steps are taken or contemplated to obtain redress for the high-handed and cruel usurpations committed on our flag, our commerce and our citizens.—Since we have determined to pay no more tribute of money to the unprincipled hordes of Barbary, we trust we shall furnish no more tribute of men to the equally infamous powers of Europe. And though it cannot be imagined that we shall cope in arms with the tyrant of the ocean, yet we trust the wisdom and energy of our administration will devise and execute some means which shall in future prevent the impressment and detention of the innocent and genuine citizens of the United States against the depredations of a power whose only rule of right is strength, and who will never forget that we were once its subjects. (True American.)
MONTICELLO.
In turning over the pages of Doct. Morse's "American Geography," in the description of Virginia, is the following particular. "In Albemarle county is Monticello, the seat of President JEFFERSON. The summit of the mountain, where his house stands is 500 feet above the circumjacent country. The prospect is extensive and charming—Mr. Jefferson has more than 1100 acres of cultivated land. In 1797 he had 320 acres of wheat, 160 of corn, 320 of clover, 320 of peas and potatoes, and 120 workmen. He has a manufactory of nails, which turns out a ton of nails in a month."—If it is asked, whence has Monticello its name? The answer is from "Mons et Celum," which properly rendered, signifies "a height elevating towards the skies."
Here it is the illustrious Chief of a great and rising nation occasionally retires, and, in the sweetness of repose, contemplates not only a World, but the Universe at large. What was laid of the renowned LOCKE, may with greater propriety be applied to the American Sage and Philanthropist.
"He has a soul wide as the sea, "Calm as the night, bright as the day, "There do his vast ideas play."

POSTSCRIPT.
CHARLESTON, (S. C.) OCT. 14. Yesterday arrived the British sloop of war Petrel, Capt. Lamborne, and the American ship Two Friends, Capt. M'Neill, both from Kingston, Jamaica. On Saturday, at one o'clock, off North Edisto, the Petrel, was engaged by the French privateer Schooner, Superb, Capt. Dominique, which has been cruising off this port for some days past. The privateer ran along side, and attempted to board, when a broadside from the Petrel was poured into her, which made great havoc among her crew. The action lasted about twenty minutes, when the Frenchman sheered off, and set all sail to escape. The sloop of war gave chase, which was continued for some hours, but by tacking and maneuvering she got the weather-gage of the ship and escaped. Lieutenant Maitland, and one man, of the Petrel, were killed in the skirmish, and four men wounded—one of which supposed mortally. The remains of lieut. M. are now on board. When the privateer attempted to board, one Frenchman more forward than the rest, sprang into one of the port holes, and is now a prisoner on board the Petrel.

ADVERTISEMENT.
WHEREAS, a few days ago, I was publicly attacked by Capt. George Turner, jun. of this town, in a very abrupt, and ungentlemanlike manner, by the following interrogation.—“Mr. Burgin, how dare you to take it upon yourself, sir, to come and look into my window and insult my family in the manner you did, and ask if SUKE Grover was there, and abuse my daughter in the street as you did one night.” I confess I was so unused to such salutations and greeting in the market, that I hardly knew how to answer him, or whether it was best to give him any direct answer at all. He further added, that “they were going to take me up,” (but I had this consolation, that although they might take me up, I knew it was not in their power to take me down)—I finally assured him that I never knew where his house was, (nor do I to this time,) neither did I know one of his family, and in every respect, was clear of the charges alleged against me.—I further observed to him that my character was well known among the different classes of citizens in this town, that I was well acquainted, & have for a number of years had more or less dealings with most of the merchants, traders, mechanicks, truckmen and day-labourers, and I challenged him to find the person who would testify against me and produce a single instance of my insulting, abusing, or in any way treating unhandsomely any person, male or female, by day or by night. He then said that he was satisfied that I did not do it, but observed that he was informed of it by his family. I told him that I also wished in my turn for him to satisfy me, and demanded his author, but he refused to inform me; I then desired to walk with him to his house, and see my accusers face to face; but he would not concede to this proposal; I then requested him to fix on a time when I should call and see his family and know the origin of the story, and after much conversation he assured me that he would, after first talking with them himself, come & wait upon me to his house, —and altho’ I have now waited twelve days he has totally neglected to fulfil his promise, or in any way to clear me from this false, unfounded and malicious accusation:—and therefore I feel fully justified in making this public statement of the affair, that my friends may the better determine whether the charges are true or false. I have every reason to believe that the whole originated from malice & not from any mistake; (not by Capt. Turner himself, but by some of his family or near connections,) my belief is founded upon his own conversation, for he, very incautiously, let the cat out of the bag, and gave a clue to the whole affair.—He said that “there was another man who went to SMITH’s meeting and insulted them three times in the same manner.” He said “he looks just like you, was lame and went with a cane.” This must be as untrue as his accusation against me, for the Lord knows, and every person in town knows that there is not a person in this vicinity, nor in the adjacent towns, that looks like me; therefore I have good reason to believe that the whole affair was conceived in malice, laid and hatched in his own family, and the sole cause of their reporting such things about me, was because I went to “Smith’s meeting,” a crime in their opinion so great, as fully to justify them in saying all manner of evil of me, let it be ever so false & unfounded—but I think they will find some difficulty in making a person believe it; for I am sure I want nothing of Suke Grover, and why should I go there to enquire after her? and if he or any of his family were fond of her company, I had no wish to prevent their frequent interviews, or deprive them of their social enjoyments.—I have no wish to purge the matter any further, nor do I intend to take them up, as they talk of serving me; but shall leave them to their own solitary reflections, knowing, that if they have any sensations that belong to human nature, and are not “past all feeling, and their consciences seared as with a hot iron,” their own guilt and disgrace will be more punishment than I can wish upon them,—ed altho’ they hold “Smith’s meeting” in ever so much disesteem, and treat with contempt those who attend there—yet I would inform them that among the many salutary instructions which I have received there, one (very important to them at the present time) is, to forgive my enemies,—and the author of that religion which I profess to believe in, and wish to live by and die by, has given me a heart to forgive those who trespass against me,—and I do heartily, sincerely and without reserve, freely forgive them, wishing that they may find repentance & forgiveness from God, who has said, “but know thou that for all these things, I will bring you to judgement.” JOSIPH Y. BURGIN. Portsmouth, 1/2 November. *This conversation happened to be heard by the market.

THE EYE.  O TELL me, for I do not know, Wherefore that eye affects me so? Silent and steadfast on my face He look'd, and look'd, a little space, And, as he turn'd away his head, He mov'd his lips: but nothing said, And yet me thought I could descry A certain something in his Eye, Such as before I've never known, Except dear Mother, in your own. His heart was full; he turn'd aside From me, the secret cause to bide. O, my dear mother, ask you why? I know it I know it from his Eye. Soon had my heart th' infection caught, Wherefore I know not, but I thought Some hidden charm, some powerful tie, Had bound me to that stranger's Eye. I felt such overpowering charms, I should have rush'd into his arms, Did not a certain reverence quell, And bind me by a stronger spell. Though to this very hour alone The stranger was to me unknown, My bosom felt an impulse strong That we had been acquainted long. Explain the cause, dear mother, do; For when I look'd on him, and you, My bosom plainly did declare, Both had an equal portion there; Which to this very hour alone Was undivided all your own.
AGRICULTURAL.
SAVE YOUR SEED CORN. IT is too common to take seed-corn at venture from the heap or crib—or at best, only to pick out the fairest and fullest ears. My grand-father, a Farmer, who lived to a good old age, and added to the fruits of long experience, the advantage of a general and acute observation, always made it a practice to select his seed-corn in husking time, in this way—from thrifty stalks that had two or more good ears on, he would take the largest and best, and in husking it, leave two pieces of hulk on, which he would tie together, and by which he would hang it up in a garret or chamber, where it would dry soundly and thoroughly.—This mode he believed he found his account in.—And it looks reasonable—for in animals, are not the best always selected to breed from? and does not the same principle govern the vegetable world? I believe, if more pains were taken to save good seed, better crops would be raised. I would recommend to farmers to try the above mode.
ANECDOTES.]—A YOUNG Clergyman, whose garb did not designate who he was, and still very anxious to be known, requested the company to guess at his occupation. They happened all to be on the wrong side.—Vexed at their stupidity, he exclaimed, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness. I thought, Sir, says a wag, that you resembled an Owl.
TWO gentlemen standing together, a young lady passed by them, said one, there goes the handsomest woman I ever saw. She hearing him, turned back, and seeing him very ugly, said, I wish I could say as much of you.—So you may, madam, said he, and lie as I do.
