Piscataqua Bridge Lottery.
The object of this Lottery for the repair of Piscataqua Bridge cannot fail of engaging the attention of public spirited citizens, the advantages of this bridge being great and extensive. Massachusetts, Maine and New-Hampshire have largely experienced its utility; and all must be sensible of the importance of its being kept in good repair. It was first built at the expence of individuals nearly to the amount of 70,000 dollars, and the seal of the public cannot be too much excited to render it permanent. Nothing more redounds to our glory, than promoting and advancing, to the highest perfection, whatever is conducive to the convenience and rapid circulation of business public and private. The chance for gain in this Lottery is exceedingly great, in which there are so many capital prizes, and considering the small number of tickets.
There needs little to be urged on those who discern the great importance of the object, to encourage their patriotic exertions for its accomplishment. Whole Tickets at 5 dollars and quarters at 8/3 for sale by PIERCE, HILL & PIERCE, Market Street.—Prize Tickets in the first class taken in payment.—Let the commendable example of those who have been purchasers and gainers in the first class, be an inducement for others to purchase in the second.

To the Republicans of New-Hampshire
FELLOW CITIZENS,
YOU have from year to year witnessed the indefatigable exertions of the Federal party in this State, and have trusted wholly to the justice of the Republican cause to counteract the many schemes made use of to deceive and mislead you.
Driven as it were by a state of desperation, the Federal faction have employed new energies, and the high wrought system of falsehood and deception practiced at the last election is about to be repeated.
The second paragraph of the work has the following sentences—"For the approaching election two lists of candidates have been presented for your approbation. The one is composed of men whose political creed and conduct in life, prove them disciples of Washington, the deliverer and saviour of his country. The other contains men whose principles and conduct are opposed to the former."
Every friend of American liberty and independence, and especially those who witnessed the distresses of our revolution, must possess more than stoic apathy who can without the highest indignation hear the pretensions of a sect, among whom are all those who in the days of our conflict were plotting the destruction of our armies, conveying secret intelligence to our enemies, rejoicing in all our misfortunes, and imprecating vengeance on the head of every leader in the opposition to Britain, now claiming discipleship to Washington, bestowing their hypocritical eulogies on his memory, and with the most consummate impudence placing not merely in the background, but in hostile array against the liberties of their country those who were foremost in their exertions to secure the freedom which they have generously permitted the enemies to our revolution to share in common with themselves.
With an air of apparent seriousness, we are asked "what single act can be adduced under the administration of the successor of Washington, the GREAT & PATRIOTIC ADAMS, to prove him guilty of attempting to change our Constitution and introduce monarchy?"—With much greater propriety may we demand in return, what single act can be adduced under his administration, calculated to secure to the people the privileges of the Constitution?
Alluding to the Alien Act, it is asked, "are its provisions improper, or did he (President Adams) make a bad use of them?" To the first question it is answered that "its provisions" were infinitely more than improper, they were unconstitutional and in an high degree oppressive.—The law is unconstitutional because it exercises a power not only unauthorized by the Constitution, but in violation of its fundamental principles by blending in one common mass, legislative, executive and judiciary powers, which it was the great design in our Constitution to be preserved as far as possible, separate and unconnected.
Whether President Adams did or did not make a bad use of the powers created by this act, is quite foreign to the purpose.—The greatest lenity on his part could not cure its unconstitutionality nor justify him in approving it, nor indeed add much to his merit, since in a short time it became so unpopular that if an opportunity had offered for the exercise of its rigors, it would have required less concern for re-election to office than he possessed to induce a hazard of consequences.
The Sedition Act, that monster of Federal oppression, was such an engine as tyrants use to prevent the diffusion of knowledge, to throw a veil on their folly or on their crimes, to satisfy those mean passions which denote little minds, and to perpetuate their own tyranny. But when it is considered that the makers of this act and he that approved it had all solemnly sworn to support the Constitution, a Constitution that says "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press," what language can be too strong to express our abhorrence of those men and their wicked principles?
Our pamphlet writers have not seen fit to interrogate us concerning the use that was made of this mild and inoffensive law, probably left they should be reminded of numerous instances where charges of the most trivial and ridiculous kind have been punished under it with severe and oppressive fines and imprisonment; crimes, if such they may be called, a thousand fold less aggravated than Federal friends to order and good government have been since its repeal and still are daily practising with impunity in the face of that common law, whose severities our tender-hearted rulers in the memorable year of their clemency 1798, saw fit to moderate by substituting the merciful SEDITION ACT, in its stead.
But a Land Tax and Standing Army were necessary to complete the unfinished federal system of subjugation. These were seasonably prepared—the one to drain us of our money, and the other to compel us to humble submission. In an infant country like ours, a wise and virtuous administration would exert itself in giving all due encouragement to labor and agriculture, and particularly to the settlement of our uncultivated lands, and would avoid every measure that could tend to increase that inequality in the distribution of property, which by natural means is brought about to as great a degree as is consistent with the happiness of a people, and the support of a free government.
PEOPLE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE—Pause a moment from your common pursuits; take into your serious consideration the important subject which has been thus imperfectly exhibited to your view. Reflect on the dangers we have avoided.—Contrast our present happy and prosperous condition, with what it must have been, had not the snare of federalism been timely broken. No Alien Act exists to forbid the industrious labourer and mechanic from seeking shelter among us, from distress and persecution abroad, to assist us in our manufactures and in the cultivation of our lands. No Sedition Act, to silence our just complaints. No Land Tax to tax us, and draw from us the last cent of our earnings. No Standing Army at the heels of government, to threaten and terrify us. Thousands of excise-men and tax-gatherers, those blood-suckers of human society, have been discharged as useless burdens, and by the prudent management of public affairs, our national debt is fast diminishing, while our Treasury is amply supplied with means sufficient to meet every exigency, which, happy for us, cannot be drained by the wishes or false representations of the malicious enemies of our prosperity.
joy the rich blessings of liberty and peace under a wise and virtuous administration of the best government on earth.
Choose then, Fellow-Citizens, to whom you will give your support—attend at the approaching meeting for the choice of Electors of your President and Vice-President; bestow your suffrages without fear, and according to the dictates of your best judgment.
A sincere Republican.
From the Salem REGISTER. Danvers, Oct. 12, A. D. 1804.
MR. CARLTON,
I have something of importance to tell you. You must know I have been called a federalist by all my neighbors for many years past tho' I assure you I have not always voted for their ticket.
He flunk his head twice, and I was afraid to ask him any more questions; so I took the ticket and paper, and said I would begin to write that very evening; and when my eldest son Thomas came from school, I would let him to work likewise.
The parson again cautioned me about the names and districts, and especially about the titles of Honourable and Esquire, and then he left me. Now, Mr. Carlton, to tell you the truth, I never liked the law for a General Ticket, and always wanted myself to vote for one candidate in a district; but still I thought I should vote for the federal ticket tho' I did not know more than two of the names out of the whole nineteen.
When Thomas came home from school, I told him what the Minister said, and how he was to write as many tickets as he could 'gainst election day, and Thomas seemed to assent to it; but as soon as I shewed him the ticket, he said it was not the right one. I was surprised at this, and asked him what he meant; and Thomas said the right ticket was headed with Mr. Sullivan's & Mr. Gerry's names, and not with Mr. Cobb's or Mr. Wendell's.
I began to be alarmed for Thomas' principles, and asked him if that ticket was not the federal ticket—he said he supposed it was; but for his part he liked the republican ticket much better, with Mr. Sullivan's and Mr. Gerry's name at the head; and if he was free, he believed he should vote for it. As true, Mr. Carlton, as I am a christian, and go to meeting every Sunday, if I had been struck dead at once I should not have been more surprised. The boy is only 18 years old come next May. He was christened by our Minister as I before said, and you see how federal he is. His school master is federal enough, I know; our Squire is also federal; and besides that, 3 out of 4 of my neighbours are called federal, and my boy always goes a hushing among their daughters.
fy at all in my mind. I walked about the field to and fro for some time, and when I came home, my wife asked me if I was sick and said I looked pale about the face. I did not tell her my thoughts, but said I did not feel very well, but hoped I should be better after supper; but I was mistaken.
When supper came I could not eat much, and my wife said I certainly was quite sick, and must have the doctor if I did not grow better in the morning.
Mr. Carlton, you do not know what a night I had. I tossed about a great deal, turned twenty times, first on one side and then on 'tother, and did not get to sleep till near daylight. What Thomas said about his reading your paper and his being a republican, was always uppermost in my mind, and when morning came I determined to go over to one of my neighbors who took your paper, and borrow it.
I now found myself better, and when I got up my wife remarked I did not look so pale; and as I eat a tolerable hearty breakfast, she said she should not send for the doctor, for she believed the disorder would pass off without a settled fever.
I soon went over to neighbour Lovegood, who is a good republican, and asked to borrow the Register. Mr. Lovegood stared greatly, but said he had no objection to lend me the Register if I would take care of them; and he handed down a whole file for the last year, and up to the present time.
Home I come with the papers, when, just as I expected, my wife wanted to know what had, & I was obliged to tell every thing about the matter from first to the last; and Thomas was there and heard the whole story. It is now nearly a week, Mr. Carlton, since I borrowed the papers, and I have read them through and through and some of the late ones twice over; and must I say it, —can I say it, —I am convinced I have been in an error for this 6 or 7 years past?
Your sincere friend, and well wisher THOMAS MEANWELL.
For the N. H. Gazette.
Messrs. PRINTERS,
I am a plain man, but have too much sense to be gulled by any unprincipled lawyer. I am a staunch friend to Mr. CUTTS, because I know him to be a friend to the rights of his fellow men.
too much to be taken in by this federal circular—the veil is too thin—it will not hide the clover foot, it speaks too much of "Southern influence," "Northern interest," &c. &c. We have had enough of this from the Centinel, Reperitory and other federal papers; now in my opinion this Mr. F—d has mistaken his man.
BY THE LAST MAILS.
WASHINGTON, OCT. 10.
Advices from Commodore Preble of May 15th state, that he had procured from the King of Naples the gun boats for aiding his operations against Tripoli, and that he had proceeded to Messina, where they lay, for the purpose of equipping them.
Information received by us since the date of our last paper confirms the news of the arrival of the John Adams at Gibraltar. The captain of that frigate was instructed to sail without delay for Malta, in case no apprehension was entertained of the hostility of Tunis or the other Barbary powers.
PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 11.
On Tuesday last an election, for representatives to Congress, senators and representatives to the state Legislature and for county commissioners, was held in the several districts of this commonwealth.
Throughout the state the most extraordinary efforts had been made during the whole summer to excite division amongst the Republicans. There is now no longer a doubt but that the federalists had been the secret fomenters of the unfortunate animosities and prejudices, which have been witnessed on the part of the seceders from the democratic republican party.
We congratulate our fellow citizens of this district, of the state, and of the union, on a triumph as signal and fortunate as any since the return of the union to first principles.
From the opening of the polls, at 10 in the morning, to the close, about 11 at night, the utmost decorum prevailed, on all the election grounds in the district—we have not heard of a single outrage or riot, the alleged prevalence of which has been so long an argument of federalism against representative democracy, although provocation had been given in many instances by several of the third party.
Total for Leib, 875 Do. for Penrose, 568
Majority for Leib, 307
Finally, every republican candidate throughout the district, has been elected—every federal and squib candidate permitted to enjoy the post of honor, a private station.—Aurora.
NEW-YORK, OCT. 12.
Major Jackson has replied to the Marquis de Casa Yrujo. He persists in solemnly asserting that every part of his deposition is true; and produces letters from Gen. Washington; Gen. Lincoln, and Mr. Jefferson, as evidences of the honorable tenor of his past life, which is pledged for the correctness of his future conduct.
Major Jackson's defence is of considerable length; and, as the dispute is becoming a matter merely personal between himself and the Spanish Minister, we have not deemed it necessary to trouble our readers with any further discussions on the subject.

Portsmouth.  Tuesday, October 23, 1804.  LATEST FROM EUROPE. SINCE our last we have received Amsterdam, Leyden and English papers.—The latest, from Amsterdam, are to the 29th August.
The worn-out story of "Immense preparations for invasion and defence of Great-Britain" must be repeated. On the chances of an attempt confidence and incredulity will make their calculations.—At the last dates, the Emperor Napoleon had been several weeks on the coast, reviewing, inspecting, and animating the various engines of war on flood and field.—Whatever of gallantry may be in the exhibition; the British act as if they believed him serious. (Boston paper.)
His Excellency the Governor with advice of Council has appointed Thursday the fifteenth day of November next, to be observed as a day of Public Thanksgiving, throughout this State.
His Excellency GALE BRIDGES, Esq. Governor of Massachusetts has issued a Proclamation, appointing Thursday, the twenty-ninth day of November next, to be observed as a day of Public Thanksgiving and Praise, throughout the Commonwealth.  Extract of a letter from a gentleman who has lately travelled through Virginia. "I have lately returned from a visit to Monticello, where every thing I saw served to increase the admiration and respect I feel for the character of its enlightened possessor. It is at home, in the bosom of his family, surrounded by his friends and numerous connections with eight lovely grandchildren, a constant levee of grateful tenants, most of them rent free for life, with other objects of his daily bounty, and an endless succession of travelling visitors, that you see him display, unadorned by pride or arrogance, all the virtues which can adorn a man and dignify his nature. Nor is his habitation and its local situation less calculated to inspire regard; the seat of science and of arts, embellished within and without by every thing that a refined taste and improved mind could suggest, it presents a happy union of convenience and comfort, with an elegance of appearance commanding and majestic. A full description of his library museum, collections and paintings, would far exceed the bounds of a letter, or any powers of delineating that I possess.—When we met I will endeavor to possess you with a faint idea of them—I only with his political enemies could truly view him as he is, in his private life."
The public may be cautioned against frightful stories of wars and rumours of wars and rebellions—as many important elections have been, and are to be made about this time. We see nothing in the differences with Spain which precludes accommodation.—The disturbances are exaggerated in proportion to our distance from the scene.—P. Ob.
Marine Memoranda. Portsmouth, Oct. 23, 1804. Arrived, brig Rockingham, Capt. Sullivan, 25 days from Turks Island—On his outward passage in lat. 19, 50. long. 64. Capt. Sullivan fell in with Schooner Generous Friend, Capt. Russell, from New York and bound to Guadalupe; the sch'r had upset in a hurricane on the 4th September, lost 4 hands; on the 8th Capt. S. took her in tow and continued with her 5 days, finding it impossible to carry her to St. Thomas or St. Croix, he took out 7 passengers leaving the Captain, Mate, Super cargo and two others on board, and left her in a fair way for Jamaica. At St. Croix Capt. S. was informed by an American captain that on the 10th Sept. he fell in with the brig Fox, of New York, dismasted and decks blown up, and one dead man floating in the cabin. Capt. S. left at Turks Isl'd the brig Love and Unity, Jones, of Swansey to sail in a day, in lat. 41, 30. long. 71, 40. spoke ship Sally, —, of New York, from Rhode Island, out 36 hours, bound to India.
BRITISH AMITY. Extract from the sch'r Generous Friend's log-book taken at sea, August 28, 1804— Lat. 28, 40, N. long. 64, 50, W. "At 6 A. M. saw a sail to the eastward leaning to the south; at main topsail, Bay sail and fore top gallant sail, a 1 1/2 A. M. she fired a shot at us, have main top sail to the mizzen and lay by for her coming up; at noon she came under our lee, and hailed us, and ordered the captain on board with his papers—after going on board the brig which proved to be the Rover, Capt. Pours; they man'd our boat with small arms and their mate with them, came on board and demanded all the papers among the passengers, and all hands on board; ransacked trunks, bedding, cabin lockers, breaking open lockers opening the cabin ceiling in pursuit of money—put all our men in irons and threatened to man our vessel and send her to Halifax; but this was a delay time till night for further plunder—night came on, when the captain came on board with his officers and men; he stood with pistols to guard them in their piratical conduct—after plundering and taking the trunks of clothes, and every thing they could lay their hands on, and detaining us along while making use of the most abusive language, at half past 11 P. M. thank God got clear of them, made sail and stood to the southward, after being robbed of every necessery on board."
To Correspondents. Mr. PRESLE's communication in answer to Mr. Peabody, is received; it shall appear in the next Gazette.
The Hon. Richard Cutts, Esq. member of Congress from the District of Maine passed thro' town last week on his way to the seat of Government. We are authorized to state the Honorable Mr. Cutts does not contemplate a removal from the district of York, as has been falsely asserted.
SECOND CLASS Piscataqua Bridge Lottery, Will commence drawing on the 19th day of December, and finish in thirty working days,—agreeable to the plan proposed and submitted to the State.—The price of Tickets after the 20th day of November, will be advanced, to five dollars and fifty cents; and will remain, at that rate until the third days drawing shall begin; after that time the price will be six Dollars, and will continue rising until the 25th days drawing.—Adventurers, subscribers, and vendors, will please to observe this hint, and supply themselves in good season, as the managers are very desirous that every person should supply themselves before the price advances.—Venders will most certainly see their own interest inseparably connected with this plan.—A company is found to take all the unsold Tickets, which may remain, after the third days drawing.—but subscribers, whom having previously engaged any number of Tickets, shall be entitled to receive them at any time before drawing commences, at five dollars.—Agents that have taken tickets to sell must strictly attend to fulfill their engagements with the managers—the true meaning of which is, to return all the unsold tickets remaining in their hands, three days before the drawing begins, or hold them for their own account and risque—and to pay or remit all monies, due from them for tickets sold or retained, twenty days after the drawing is completed—after that time ten days is allowed to send in all their prize tickets, to balance their respective accounts—serious consequences to the managers having attended the want of punctuality, by some vendors in the first class, which are flatter ourselves will be avoided in the second—otherwise the purpose for which the Lottery is granted, will be totally defeated.
