MISCELLANY.
The character of that surprising American GENIUS Mr. Bromfield concluded from our last Gazette,—with a continuation of his astonishing discoveries, by means of his solar microscopic GLASSES, most accurately ground by himself.
THE Other yet more wonderful—I took down at the time in writing, viz. April 18, 1744, as follows.—He put in the Place thereof a Mite of a Cheese: And it projected a Shade 216 Half Inches long, 190 half inches broad, and about as thick as Broad, if the Room had been 100 Feet square, he could have made the Shade of the Mite 100 Feet in Length, &c. He then put in its Place a small Particle of Gutter Water , about as long, broad, and thick again as the Mite: And it projected a thin Shade which looked like a mighty Lake, wherein were swimming with inimitable Life and Swiftness, a Number of extremely small Animalcula , whose shade was but Half an Inch Long , and about proportionably broad as in the Mite, but less in Thickness. By which I then computed thus— The Shade of the Mite 216 Half Inches Long 190 Half Inches Broad 25,920 Square Half Inches Superficies 190 Half Inches Thick 3,110,400 Cubical Half Inches in the whole.
By which we clearly see, that Twenty five Thousand nine Hundred and Twenty of those Half Inch Animalcula , could lie Side by Side on the Back of that one Mite: And that Three Millions, a Hundred and ten Thousands and four Hundred of them together, would not make a Body so large as his.
We also saw the Animalcula overcome with the collected Heat of the Sun-Beams and die in Struggles: Before which their Motion was so extremely swift, our light was unable to define their Dimensions with any Exactness.
Yea, this most observing young Gentleman told me, that about a Fortnight before, or the Beginning of April, when these Animalcula were so much nearer their Focal State, they were so small as at the same Distance to project a shade of but a Tenth of an Inch in Length . By which I then computed thus—
The Shade of the Mite 108 Inches, i. e. 1080 Decimals of Inches Long, 60 Inches, i. e. 600 Decimals of Inches Broad.
648,000 Square Decimals of Inches Superficies. 600 Decimals of Inches Thick
388,800,000 Decimal Cubes in the whole.
And by this we may see, that six hundred and forty eight Thousands of those Decimal Animalcula , could lie Side by Side on the Back of the Mite: And that Three hundred and eighty eight Millions, and eight hundred Thousands of them in a Heap together, would not amount to the Bigness of his single Body.
Yea, as the Half Inch Animalcula , and consequently the Decimals , were not half to thick in Proportion as the Mite; it would take up more than Double of those cubical Numbers, to equal his Body.
Marvelous are the Works of GOD! Yea, they are honourable and glorious, as the inspired Writer tells us; and therefore sought out by all those that have Pleasure therein.
By the Observations above; especially considering he could easily have magnified the Shade of the Mite to above a Hundred Feet, yea in a Manner unbounded, &c. Methinks I can easily conceive, How all the Children of Men from Adam might in their original Stamina be inclosed in their Parental Stamina; and so in the Lines of their Primitive Ancestor be actually united to Him, as his Living Members, at the Time of the first Transgression, and therein contract a Contamination with him.
But those Observations served to convince me of what the wonderful Sir Isaac Newton has sagaciously premised; that upon the Improvement of Microscopes, material Substances would appear so transparent, as to prevent our perfect Discovery of them.
These are but two or three Instances of the many entertaining Discoveries of this extraordinary Youth: Who I doubt not has now the discerning Powers of Angels; capable of seeing without Instruments or Rays, even the finest Parts of material Substances, with all their created Beauties and the wonderful Operations of their MAKER in them: And yet entertained with sublimer Views. As there was such a conjunction of Ingenuity and Piety in Him as is rarely seen among the Sons of Men; so his Ingenuity sanctified, became an Instrument to promote his Piety: either to advance his Knowledge and Veneration of GOD, or help, excite and fit to adore, serve and honour Him. In a very tender and weakly Body, he had an indefatigable Soul, was a wonderful Redeemer of Time; And the above were some of his recreating Exercises, which he made subservient to the Glory of GOD; when he found it needful to divert from his intense Studies of Divine Revelation, and his own Conformity to his CREATOR, SANCTIFIER and SAVIOUR: To the latter of
which, he by divine Grace, was turned in an eminent Manner about six Years ago. Since which happy Change within him, nothing seemed to engage his Soul and draw his Attention so much as the Study of CHRIST, that most admirable Person above all created Beings, and the most wonderful Work of Redemption in its various progressive Branches from their first Original to their eternal Consummation. And could the Key of his Characters be perfectly discovered, 'tis hoped a remarkable Delineation may be also given of his experimental and active Piety.
I would on this Occasion beg the Readers Patience for one Observation more—viz; That as besides the moral Qualities of Serenity, Kindness, Prudence, Gentleness and Modesty, displaying in his very Countenance, there appeared especially in the Air and Lock of his eyes the strongest Signatures of a curious and accurate Genius, that I remember ever to have seen: From this and other Remarks in others, I am apt to think, that even every Quality of the Humane Mind, and even in their various Measures, may by the Operation of GOD at least, become even visible in the Human countenance and Eye to near Spectators: And as the Appearance of the evil Qualities of Malice, Madness, Rage, &c. among the Damned, will eternally excite their mutual Horror; so the amiable Excellencies of the Saints in Light, and above them all, of the most glorious SON OF GOD, will eternally blaze out in the Countenance and Eye, to their perfect and perpetual Pleasure and Admiration.

A Proclamation
For a Day of Public Thanksgiving. IT being the ancient, and laudable usage in this State, at the close of the year, to appoint a solemn festival to commemorate the goodness of the Supreme Being, and publicly to acknowledge that He is the Author of all our prosperity; that we owe Him our continual gratitude for His unmerited favours; and that He is the source and end of all the good we are capable of doing or receiving:
I do, therefore, with the advice and consent of the Council, appoint THURSDAY, the Twenty fifth day of November next to be observed by the people of this Commonwealth, as a Day of PUBLIC THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE. And the Ministers and People, of every denomination, are requested to meet together on that Day, that we may devoutly unite in our humble and thankful acknowledgments to Almighty God, for the great and numerous blessings which he has vouchsafed to bestow upon us; for the peace and tranquility with which we are favored; for the enjoyment of our civil and religious privileges; for the health which He has been pleased to continue in a great part of the State, and His kind interposition in behalf of those places that have been visited with sickness; for the success which He has granted to our trade, manufactures and fisheries; for the fruits of His Providence upon the labors of husbandry in the course of the last season, and the abundance of food with which we are supplied; and for the benefits He has conferred upon other nations, and that profusion of Divine Goodness by which innumerable multitudes are made happy.
AND to the acknowledgments of pious gratitude, let us join the penitent confession of our sins, and our humble supplications to the God of all Grace, that by the influence of his Spirit, he would purify our hearts and make us fruitful in all the works of righteousness; that he would prosper the administration of our National and State Governments; and that all their measures may be directed by truth and integrity; that by His blessing on the means of education and public instruction, our youth may be trained to industry, virtue and useful knowledge; that the people may be united in the ties of mutual friendship and affection, and inspired with sentiments of justice and love of their country; and that we may continue to possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for our children after us forever.
THAT with the increase of commerce, the blessings of society and friendly intercourse may be extended, and provision made for the universal spreading of Divine Knowledge; and that all opposition to the cause and interests of the Redeemer may appear to be in vain, and His Kingdom triumph over all its enemies.
AND the people of this state are requested to abstain from labor, and such amusements as are inconsistent with the solemn services of the said Day.
Given at Council Chamber, in Boston, this twenty-second day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and two and in the twenty seventh year of the Independence of the United States of America.

By His Excellency's command, with the advice and consent of the Council. JOHN AVERY, Secretary.
LATE OMISSIONS.
IMPORTANT EXTRACT
Of a letter from a respectable House in London, to a correspondent in this country.
"Agreeably to your request, we have inquired as to the manner in which the treaty Commissioners will issue their awards in favor of the American claimants. Their rule is, and will be, to issue their awards in favor of the National Agent, Mr. George W. Erving, in all cases where the claimants are not represented by a special agent, with full powers to receive the sums which may be awarded to them; but when such special agents appear, the awards are then made out in their names, for the use of the claimants they represent.
"This information is important, and ought to be communicated to the American claimants, who have not yet appointed any special agent. Mr. Samuel Williams, late American Consul here, and Mr. Samuel Cabot, have powers from many of your claimants. They are, and may be fully confided in, to apply what they may receive agreeably to orders; but we know nothing of Mr. Erving's character for solidity and punctuality; nor do we find any one who does know him. By appointing special agents, who are known to be safe and punctual, the claimants will avoid some risk perhaps, and will certainly save the interest of their money for some months by having it applied to the use directed, as soon as it shall be received."
Extract of a letter, dated at Point Pitre, Sept. 15, 1802, to a gentleman at Brunswich.
The Spaniards have concluded a peace with the refractory Indians, who have drove Bowles and all his white adherents out of the nation. My friend Kinand went down with Mr. Forster, and took a number of the Creek chiefs and warriors, and obliged the Macke-soohees to drive off Bowles, make peace, and deliver up the prisoners and negroes—Fario has got most of his negroes home already.
NEW-HAMPSHIRE. WALPOLE, Sept. 23.
REGIMENTAL MUSTER.
On Tuesday, the 14th inst. the 20th regiment of this State, commanded by Col. CALIB BELLOWS , appeared on parade for review and inspection, near Capt. Carpenter's inn, in this town. It consisted of one company of Artillery, one of Light Horse, two of Light Infantry, and eight of Infantry, the four first mentioned being in complete uniform. Though some part of the day, on account of the weather, was unfavorable for a complete display of military exercise, yet the evolutions, firings and general conduct of officers and soldiers, evinced much martial information, spirit and discipline. After the various evolutions and firings were performed, the troops were dismissed by a manly and suitable address from Major BULLARD , Inspector of the Brigade, by direction of Brigadier General ALLEN , a copy of which we subjoin.
GENTLEMEN OFFICERS.
I HAVE the honor to communicate the thanks and approbation of the Brigadier General, for your officer, and gentlemen like conduct through the day. The only proper defence, and security of a republican government like our own, is in a well organized Militia. To you, gentlemen, in a great measure is confided the sacred trust of your Country's honor, your military and correct deportment will have the best effect to inspire the brave men under your command with Martial ardor and good discipline. AND to YOU FELLOW-SOLDIERS, Your good conduct, your soldier like appearance, and your swift attention to the commands of your officers, merit the General's warmest thanks.—While our Country can call out her citizens for a false guard, we can never fear the invasion of a foreign foe, nor the arts of a domestic enemy. The military of our Country is, thank Heaven, not composed of foreign hirelings—when we take up arms it will be in defence of what we deem, our dearest rights and privileges, when every Citizen is a soldier, the art of war becomes an honorable profession; and I doubt not, should necessity ever call you to the field of actual service, that you would there prove yourselves in action, what you profess to be in principle, the defenders of your Country.
It has been said by the Republicans, that no virtuous administration could be battered down by paper shot. The Feds, are determined to make the experiment, and have accordingly commenced and kept up a constant fire upon the present administration, from their whole park of artillery, directed by Major General Hamilton .—No breach, however, is yet discoverable; and we venture to predict that their ammunition will be expended, their ranks thinned by desertion, and they finally obliged to relinquish the attack. True Amer.

From the National Intelligencer.  A VIEW  Of the relative STRENGTH of PAR-  TIES in the United States, in the  years 1800 and 1802.
[Continued.]  A SECOND criterion of the relative strength of parties at the close of the year 1800, and the present period, may be found, in some measure, in the political complexion of the federal Senate at those periods. It will, however, be recollected, that as the election of the members of that body is made for six years, the new appointments of Senators within the two last years can but imperfectly exhibit the change of public opinion. As far, however, as it does go, it is conclusively demonstrative of the increase of republicanism.
At the close of 1800 the Senate stood thus:     Republican. Federal.    New-Hampshire 1  Massachusetts 2  Rhode Island 0  Connecticut 2  Vermont 0  New York 1  New Jersey 0  Pennsylvania 2  Delaware 2  Maryland 0  Virginia 2  North Carolina 0  South Carolina 1  Georgia 1  Kentucky 1  Tennessee 0  11 21  
Federal Majority 10 At present the Senate stands thus:     Republican. Federal.    New-Hampshire 0  Massachusetts 2  Connecticut 2  Rhode Island 0  Vermont 1  New York 1  New Jersey 0  Pennsylvania 1  Delaware 2  Maryland 1  Virginia 2  North Carolina 0  South Carolina 0  Georgia 2  Kentucky 0  Tennessee 0  18 14  
Repub. Majority 4 It follows, that in a period of two years, the Senate has been changed from a federal to a republican body by the appointment of eight republicans in the room of a like number of federal members, which constitutes a change of one fourth of the whole body.
But to exhibit fairly the change which has taken place in the state legislature, of which the Senate is the constitutional representative, it is necessary to show what would be the complexion of that body if an entirely new election of Senators were now to take place.
Such an election would produce the following result:     Republican. Federal.    New-Hampshire 0  Massachusetts 2  Rhode Island 0  Connecticut 2  Vermont 0  New York 2  New Jersey 2  Pennsylvania 0  Delaware 2  Maryland 0  Virginia 2  North Carolina 0  South Carolina 2  Georgia 2  Kentucky 0  Tennessee 2  24 8  
Republican Majority 16 It follows that the national will, fully expressed at this time, through the constitutional organ of the state Legislatures would give the republicans three fourths of the members of the Senate.
There is every prospect that this splendid success will attend the republicans in little more than two years and a half. Nor is there wanting the probability that Delaware, Massachusetts, New-Hampshire, and even Connecticut, will be republican states before that period. In all those states republicanism is gradually gaining ground.
We shall now close this branch of our view with an exhibition of the complexion of the Senate on the 4th day of next March when the terms of appointment of one third of the present Senators will expire. There may be some dispute respecting the last period from the remote date to which it refers. There can be none respecting the subjoined statement.
   Republican. Federal.    New-Hampshire 0  Massachusetts 2  Rhode Island 0  Connecticut 2  Vermont 0  New York 2  New Jersey 1  Pennsylvania 2  Delaware 1  Maryland 2  Virginia 2  North Carolina 2  South Carolina 2  Georgia 2  Kentucky 2  Tennessee 2  Repub. 24 Fed. 8  
Republican majority, 16, or three votes to one.
Let it be recollected that the Senate has been uniformly represented as the anchor of the constitution, as the shield of liberty. Why it has been so represented, it is no difficult task for us to say. Removed from popular sympathy, by the organ of its appointment, and elevated above responsibility by the long period of its power, it
partook less of the essence of republican institutions than any other department of the general government. Hence the eulogium lavished by those who dread the people as their own greatest enemies.
But notwithstanding the strength of the fortress, it has yielded to the omnipotence of public opinion. Like the proud oak of the forest its meretricious honors have been blasted by the lightning of liberty.
[To be Continued.] From the Chronicle.
To THEOPHILUS PARSONS, Esq.
A s you have withdrawn the Plea which you solemnly pledged yourself to the Court to argue, the public are not furnished with the documents on which you predicated your appeal. As you have thus left the question in this crude state, there is nothing remaining on which to advert, but the impropriety and indecency of your conduct.
A man who has been so long in the practice of the law, it is presumed, is well acquainted with the importance of the Judiciary branch of the Government. In this department are suspended the lives, liberty and property of the citizens. Public confidence therefore is essential to its administration, and every wanton attempt to derogate from its respectability, must be acknowledged as highly reprehensible.
When the Judges assemble, impanel the Jury, and the Crier announces the organization of the Court, it is taken for granted that the jurisdiction is authorized by the Constitution. At this period if an individual should arrest the proceedings, by a Plea which strikes at its existence, is an act of assumption which demands the highest authority for his conduct. The Judiciary, thus moving in a legal and formal direction, is as sacred as the Ark of old; and if any hand attempts to impede its progress, it is as amenable to the laws of society, as the disturber of the ancient building to the penal sanction of the Supreme Being. As citizens, we have a right to enquire, by what authority any part of the business of the present Court was suspended by your interference?
It is understood, Sir, that you presented a plea, which involved in it, not merely the jurisdiction of the Court on a particular action, but struck at the foundation on which the judiciary superstructure was raised. The Judges, with the utmost condescension, referred your question to be argued at 10 o'clock on the next day. In the interim the Court was adjourned, and certain actions were suspended till you had offered the arguments in support of your allegation.
During this intermission, the public mind was agitated; the Courts of Law were considered as suspended; the actions depending were hung up as doubtful in their issue; the jury were retarded in the accomplishment of their business; in short, the Laws of the country, for 24 hours, if not annihilated, were judged by many as progressing to a dissolution.
The hour arrived, Sir, in which the interesting consideration was to be argued. The Court assembled and sat in solemn suspence, whether they were or were not a constitutional jurisdiction, competent to the purposes of trying all causes which were presented on the docket. At this awful crisis, it was announced, that you had waved the consideration of the question which the day before you had pledged yourself to urge—or, in plain English, that Theophilus Parsons, Esq. had permitted the Court of Justice to proceed on business without any further interruption!
An individual thus to trifle with a Court of Justice, is a crime, in my opinion, of the greatest magnitude. If, Sir, you had previously weighed the subject, (which undoubtedly it was your duty to do) why did you not appear at the hour assigned, and offer your reasons in support of your plea? Why did you not decently come forward, and beg pardon for your temerity, or boldly maintain the controverted? Is there not a respect due to the judiciary, when a Lawyer presumes to challenge its jurisdiction, or should he thus trifle with the Court by evading the question? Are the public to depend on the flexibility of your nerves, or do you consider yourself as the pivot on which the tribunals of our Government are to turn? Do you assume an exclusive jurisdiction, to stop Courts, or set them in motion at your pleasure? Are you the organ of a disaffected party, to convulse the United States, on the subject of the Judiciary, or have you a conservative power to control the national government? How can you answer for the suspension of the powers of this Court, while you have no other apology for your conduct, than the sovereignty of your own will, by which you checked its legal progress? Can you compensate for the inconveniences attending such suspension, to those whose causes were involved in the decision? Answer, Sir, as a Citizen and a Lawyer.
A particular body of men, of late have placed themselves in an attitude which ap-
pears calculated to stop the wheels of Government. They assume an arrogance of department to which no free Government ought to submit; they seem to sport with the Constituted Authorities, and the Laws of Congress are treated by them with the utmost disrespect. The Executive in particular is abused with the grossest calumny; every officer of government, sanctioned by the President, is the immediate object of scurrility and detestation; no man but whom the Junta approve, escapes with impunity. They appear to arrogate Legislative, Executive and Judiciary authority—the acts of the Legislature are denounced, if they are not agreeable to their principles; all measures of the President are anathematized; they do not conform to their wishes and even Justice is shaken in its seat, unless the scales are held in a direction graduated by them.
If, Sir, you mean to take a bold stand, come forward in a character equal to the magnitude of the subject, and mark precisely your lines of entrenchment; do not sport upon visionary motions and pleas, on which you are cautious in risking a personal responsibility; do not trifle with Courts of Justice, but if you are sincere in your opposition, substantiate your objections by arguments adduced to the understanding, rather than by suggestions which you are unwilling to avow before a Tribunal proper to try their merits.
As you have been indulged by the Judges to offer your plea in "opugnation" to a jurisdiction which they had legalized by all the usual forms attending our Courts of Judicature, it is expected, after you have thus abruptly abandoned the ground, that this authority will not suffer itself to be regarded by any further proceedings of a similar nature. They will not hazard the tranquility of the country, to gratify the resentment of a few disappointed, enraged partisans.
After your formal parade in offering your plea and exciting the attention of the public, to stumble at the threshold and shrink from the arduous undertaking, must lessen you in the estimation even of those who have heretofore appreciated your talents. The palladium of justice is not to be violated by rushing precipitately into its sanctuary, and in a wanton manner to prostrate its attributes. When a man contemplates so important a transaction, it is incumbent on him to pause and deliberate with the most solemn circumspection, before he ventures even to suggest his intentions; he should reflect on the consequences before he agitates the question, and not afterwards become terrified at the magnitude and danger of his machinations.
I will venture to enquire of you, Sir, if such a procedure, analogous in all its points, had taken place in England, whether it would have passed over without a severe reprimand from the Bench? The prudence and moderation of the Judges, in the present state of politics, it is candidly supposed was the only cause which prevented a similar reprimand. I am not for abridging the privileges of the citizens in their appeals to the Judiciary, but I must repeat that when a man enters the sacred sanctuary of Justice, with a solemn remonstrance against its jurisdiction, it is incumbent on him to consider maturely the ground of his objections, and the consequences arising from them, before he ventures to disturb the harmony of the system. It is but a poor apology, Sir, that you reflected afterwards more seriously on the subject, as the time to consider the plea was of much longer duration previous to your entering it, than the hour assigned to argue it. I am willing to admit your apology, but must hold to my first position, that your conduct was indiscreet, inconsistent, and indecent . You may think, Sir, to evade an answer with as much indifference as to support your plea, but depend on it your over-rated talents will not screen you from further animadversions.
OLD-SOUTH. From the Wilmington Mirror.  "Blow ye the Trumpet in Zion."
We have the supreme satisfaction of announcing to our readers, and to the citizens of the United States, the complete triumph in this state of genuine democratic republican principles over federal aristocracy and toryism in the election of Ceafer A. Rodney, and the rejection of James A. Bayard; the former has been chosen by a majority of 15 votes, to represent this state in the Congress of the United States, in place of the latter who has misrepresented it for 5 years past. The smallness of this majority is readily accounted for, as it is pretty certain that the report of a contagious fever prevailing in Wilmington and New-Castle, deprived the republicans of at least 50 votes. This affords us another opportunity of remarking, that although slow, yet genuine republicanism, will be sure in its progress, and continue to increase and be victorious in Delaware. Powerful is truth and it will prevail. On the news of this pleasing event, hope brightened in the eye, and the heart of every true republican palpitated with emotions of sincere joy. A large number of citizens assembled, and partook of a collation prepared for the purpose. A multitude paraded the streets, firing, cannon, &c. In short, universal gladness cheered the countenances and pervaded the hearts of all, except a few of the "friends to order"—the party of "virtue and talents," who generally ficken at the voice of the people whenever that voice is expressed contrary to their views.
REMARKABLE. On the 28th of May, in the midst of a violent storm, there fell at Puz-a-Michel in Hungary, three large masses of ice, each forming a square of three feet, and two feet in thickness, and weighing eleven quintals; eight men were unable to move them. The greatest part of them were remaining on the third day afterwards, notwithstanding the extreme heat which succeeded the storm.

LISBON, JULY 24.  T HE stupor occasioned by the late easy conquest of a fine Portuguese frigate by the Algerines, is now got over, and a squadron of two men of war and some frigates is fitting out, to reinforce the ships in the Mediterranean, and take vengeance on the infidels, in conjunction with the Americans. The report of those insolent Africans seriously menacing the English, proves unfounded. A few days ago the Milbrook Schooner arrived here from Gibraltar, and brought accounts that Capt. Barlow, who had been sent by Lord Keith to Algiers, had returned from thence, with full satisfaction from the Dey, and a promise of his future good behaviour.

This being the Feast of Assumption, and the birth-day of the First Consul, the Consul, of the Republic received the Members of the Legislative Body residing in Paris; the Tribunate; the Tribunal of Cassation, and other Tribunals; the Archbishop of Paris accompanied by several Bishops and others of the Clergy; the Prefect and all the Administrative Authorities of the Seine; the Council of Prizes; the National Institute, and Inspectors General of Public Instruction; the Generals and Admirals now in Paris; the Central Directory of Military Hospitals the Director General and Administrators for registering National Domains, and all the other Constitutional Authorities. Citizens Marceville, the Orator of the Legislative Body, pronounced a long address to the First Consul.
In the First Consul's answer is the following passage:
"I have so often expressed by the Legislative Body and the Tribunate has at length been accomplished by the Senators Consulum; and the destinies of the French people are henceforth protected against the influence of the foreigners, who, jealous of our glory and unable to subdue us, had seized all opportunities of dividing us."
The Archbishop of Paris made the following speech:
"General First Consul, the applause and rejoicings which resound from all parts, are the most eloquent witnesses of the love, the confidence, the respect, and submission, with which the whole nation is impressed towards you. The nation feels the happiness she is about to enjoy, under a permanent Chief, who, covered with glory and triumphs—the Conqueror and Pacifier of Europe—will study only to render her more flourishing and happy every day, by conferring on her the blessing of religion, justice and good order."
The Clergy, penetrated with the same sentiments of love and veneration, embrace the earliest opportunity of offering you their respectful homage. They will never forget that it is to your piety and protection they are indebted for their existence; that it is to your zeal they are indebted for the reestablishment of our holy religion, the free exercise of its worship, and the opening of our temples—the ancient and respectable monuments of the piety of our forefathers. With the deepest sentiments of gratitude for such very precious benefits, we shall make those very temples resound with songs of joy, with thanksgivings, and earnest prayers for the preservation of a life so valuable to us; and for the continuation of that glory with which Divine Providence continues to crown your days.
The first Consul replied— That the sentiments expressed in the name of the Church of Paris and of a great number of Bishops of the French Church, were as dear to the Government as they were estimable on account of the venerable Archbishop who pronounced them; and who was a model for the other Bishops of France.

FRANKFORT, SEPT. 22.
Extract of a letter to the Editor dated St. Vincennes, 10th September, 1802— evening.
"The council with the Indians was opened this morning. The chiefs and many of the warriors of the Miami, Sauk, Wea, Pian, Kaskaskia, Patawamie, Kickapoo, Kaskaskias and Eel-River nations, have come in, accompanied by about five hundred young men, women and children. They are I believe, well disposed, and highly gratified with the attention paid them since their arrival. The views of government towards them are truly magnanimous. It is ardently wished to ameliorate their savage, barbarous state, and place them in ease and enjoyment of civilized life."
"The Indians have been greatly imposed upon with regard to the United States. In a drunken frantic fit, they view us as old women—in their cooler reflective moments, as plotting their destruction. Those settled on the Wabash and White rivers, have since the establishment of government here, been principally under the influence of the Intendant of Indian affairs; but those on the Mississippi, Quiniconconsin and Illinois rivers, and the lakes, have been and are still completely under the control of British agents. That treacherous hypocritical nation has now its engines spreading delusions throughout the western country. The most active measures have been taken to frustrate the assembling of the Indians; perfusions and presents have been disseminated with the most vigilant industry, and some have been taught to believe they were only invited here to be inhumanly butchered. The noted M'Kee shaved, painted &c. has recently had a war dance with the Indians that live within our territory, a thing unprecedented in time of peace. The Indians towards the Mississippi, and the
lakes, visit him annually, are loaded back with presents, &c. and call him the best of men—and I will venture to predict, that if the prayers of old England prevail, the knife and the tomahawk will be long evince to us the energies of "secret service money."
"However, I am in hopes a favorable change will be effected—several circumstances which have occurred within a few days, have made very favorable impressions on the minds of the Indians. The negotiations so far exhibit a pleasing prospect, and there is no doubt but all the objects for which the meeting has been called, will be fully obtained."
From the Petersburg Intelligencer. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Greenburg, to his friend in Augusta, (Georgia) dated Sept. 16th, 1802.
"A letter received a few days ago from Col. Hawkins, it is the wish of the Greeks to give up the lands as far as the Oakmulga, they meet this month at the Hickory ground; in the territory of the Upper Creeks, and as the Indians never were so willing to relinquish, I may hazard the assertion, that Oakmulga will no doubt be obtained. They say that by selling this land, they will be enabled to get flock and working tools; so far has this good man, Col. Hawkins, succeeded in civilizing these savages—13 chiefs came to him the 26th August, with the information that they had shot the Indian who had killed Gen'tregy, of Cumberland: Indeed, he finds very little difficulty in having shot or whipped those that transgress his orders, which are as punctiliously obeyed as an officer who commands a garrison. Presuming this will be pleasing intelligence, I hasten to communicate it."
Extract of a letter from Charlottesville, to the Editor of the Virginia Argus, dated September 24th, 1802.
"A very novel decision took place in the District Court at this place a few days past. A considerable number of presentments were made by the grand jury, mostly for unlawful gambling. Amongst those presented was a Mr. W. G. G. against whom several presentments were made at some of the preceding courts, as well as one on the first day of this court. The grand jury being adjourned over to the second day, he was again presented for opening a pharo bank the preceding night; the court issued a process and had him taken and brought before them, and after binding him in a recognizance for his good behavior for twelve months, with two securities, proceeded to try him under the vagrant act, when he was by the court deemed a vagrant, and committed to the custody of the sheriff to be delivered to the overseers of the poor, and by them to be sold, for the term of one month, for the best price to be had, and the money to be applied to the use of the poor of the parish. It is sincerely to be wished that this example of the District Court may be strictly followed by all our courts having jurisdiction over such cases, that such mortifying examples may be a sufficient warning to deter others from the ruinous practice of gaming."

Lancaster and Chester counties, which have been for several years under delusion have in the present year enrolled themselves once more among the countries fond of economical government, equal liberty moderate establishments—and adverse to extravagance, war, monarchy and aristocracy—we are gratified to find. Hunterdon in Jersey assert the same spirit and love of the principles of 1776.

Portsmouth.
TUESDAY, Nov. 2, 1802.
Arrived at Boston on the 27th ult. the fine Ship Samson, R. Tibbetts master, who brought a number of passengers, among which we notice Mr. EDWARD PARRY, Merchant of this town.
Died on board on the 19th Oct. Mrs. Colbourn an English Lady who was brought a corps to Boston and was entered, also Mr. Amos Abbot, one of the crew, formerly of this town.
FROM EUROPE.
By the Samson, Capt. Tibbetts, from London, we have received our regular files of papers, to the 12th September. They do not contain any events interesting to Americans.
Capt. M'Neil, arrived at New-York, from France, has furnished Paris papers to the 6th September; and verbal accounts some days later.
Reports were in circulation of the death of Gen. La Fayette; whose services in the cause of American Independence, will never be forgotten while one spark of gratitude animates the bosoms of our countrymen.
MARTINIQUE.
Capt. Marrener, arrived at New-York from Martinique, informs, that the new duties imposed there, were two per cent. on all sales, and seven per cent. on the purchase of colonial produce: That a number of American vessels which had arrived there with beef and pork, were not permitted to land their cargoes; but that the government had ordered an inquiry into the quantities of every species of provisions that should be wanted; and, from the scarcity, it was expected that Americans would soon be permitted to dispose of their cargoes. Capt. M. brought the Proclamation of Admiral Villaret Joyeuse, Capt-General of Martinique and St. Lucia, announcing the intentions of government to maintain the ancient laws; and requiring submission to their new rulers.
The Boston Frigate has arrived in the Chesapeake.
The Republican THOMAS M'KEAN, has received as a mark of gratitude from his fellow citizens, The Triumphant Majority of TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND VOTES for Governor of Pennsylvania.
NEW-JERSEY ELECTION.
Has terminated in favor of Republicanism.
  Council. Assembly.    Republican 8 20  Federal 5 19  
Major Seth Wetmore, of Winchester, in Connecticut, the gentleman who was so lately honoured by a prosecution and fine for sedition by the federal party in that state, has been since chosen by his fellow-townsmen to represent them in the legislature.
Election in Massachusetts!
Yesterday the Citizens (not subjects) of Massachusetts, were summoned together to make choice of suitable persons to represent them in the next Congress of the United States. We feel confident in having the pleasure in a few days, of announcing to the public, that at least two-thirds of the members chosen are on the Republican side; and that five-sixths of the next Congress, will be as STANCH REPUBLICAN as ever honoured Congress Floor.
It is but a few years since the Federalists, who had then a President of their own "self," and a majority in both Houses of Congress, increased the duty on Salt to twenty cents a bushel; and for fear lest the Republicans on coming into power should repeal or reduce this duty, the Federalists, on the 7th of May 1800, passed a law continuing the duty on Salt ten years, that is, from the third of March 1800, to the third of March 1810.—Yet now, the Federalists are abusing the Republicans for not repealing this duty! But the Feds. are consistent in only one thing, which is, being inconsistent in every thing!
There is a great complaint of late, among those who engaged to take water from the Aqueduct, that it does not run much more than half the time! This, a correspondent thinks, the Proprietors should see into—As individuals are unwilling to pay for what they do not receive.
COMMERCIAL.
A letter from Cape-Francois, of the 15th of Sept. to a gentleman in N. York, mentions, that no part of the cargo of a vessel just arrived from that place, would clear the expenses.—Vessels were continually arriving fr. every part of America, of which a great number proceed to leeward. Lumber has become prohibited on account of the great quantity arrived there.
At CAPE-FRANCOIS, Sept. 25.—Flour was 10 to 12 1/2. Beef 12, Pork 20 to 22, Hogs Lard, 30. Butter 20 to 25.—All kinds of dry goods prohibited. Coffee, Molasses, Rum, and Taffa (except Gayac) are permitted for exportation;—the duty on Coffee is 16 francs 66 centimes, equal to 30 3/4 cents of a dollar per quintal.—Coffee was in demand, and very scarce, from 20 to 25.
TELEGRAPH, Oct. 25.—A vessel has arrived at the Vineyard for an eastern port. Immediate intelligence of any arrival there, may be obtained by applying to the Proprietor, No. 15, State-Street, or to any Post-Master with whom the terms are lodged. The terms are lodged at the principal offices, and will be lodged at any other Post-Office, if desired.—No arrivals will be announced on the former terms, except only as to such vessels as were entered on those terms, being then on foreign voyages and not since returned.—The Proprietor will obtain knowledge of an arrival, but will announce none, at the request of a Master at the Vineyard.
NEW-YORK, Oct. 23.
Extract of a letter from a respectable mercantile house, in Bourdeaux, dated Sept. 6, to their correspondents in Philadelphia. "France will not make a commercial Treaty with England; the latter takes it in dudgeon, and appearances look lowering...that is to say, something like a rupture."
STATE OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE.
By the Governor. A PROCLAMATION.
INDIVIDUALS who have a proper sense of their dependence upon the Almighty and Benevolent Parent of the Universe for the happiness they enjoy will gratefully acknowledge favors received and petition for such as they may stand in need of; and as the prosperity and happiness of States and Nations are dependent upon the same Almighty Source, and we have been distinguished as a People by innumerable marks of Divine Beneficence, it highly becomes us to unite together at certain stated seasons in our Thanksgivings, Praises and Prayers.
Therefore in compliance with the long established and highly laudable practice of this State, I have thought fit by and with advice of Council to appoint THURSDAY the Twenty fifth Day of November next to be observed as a day of Public Thanksgiving and Prayer throughout this State; and I do earnestly recommend to Ministers and People of every denomination, that they religiously dedicate said Day and spend a reasonable part thereof in their respective places of Public Worship, that we may with grateful hearts and true devotion unite in celebrating the Praises of our Divine Benefactor for his innumerable Mercies—particularly for Civil and Religious Privileges with which we are so highly favored—For the measure of Health we enjoy—For a comfortable supply of the Fruits of the Field—For preservation from War—and for that prosperity which has attended the labor of our hands and our lawful undertakings by sea and by land—and above all for the continuance of the Blessings of the Gospel of Peace, Truth and Righteousness.
And while our Hearts are filled with gladness at the remembrance of the loving kindness of the Lord, let us with humility acknowledge our unworthiness—confess our transgressions, and beseech Divine direction and guidance.
That it would please Almighty God to have the Government of the United States and those of the several States under his holy protection—that he would rule our Rulers, teach our Teachers, that they may have wisdom to discern and integrity to pursue such measures as shall tend to his glory and the lasting welfare of the people—That all ranks and orders of Men may rightly estimate the Civil and Religious privileges we enjoy, be prevented from delusive pursuits, and remember that they are accountable to the Divine Author of these Blessings for the manner in which they use them.
That he would bestow his blessing on the means of Education and public Instruction, that Virtue and useful Knowledge may be more and more increased.
That it would please God to bless this State—direct and prosper our Civil Government—That all Superstition and Hypocrisy may be done away, and that Religion which is pure, peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits may be understood and practiced throughout the World.
And it is recommended that all persons religiously abstain from labor and recreations unbecoming the solemnity of the Day.
Given at the Council-Chamber in Exeter, this Twenty-ninth Day of October, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twenty-Seventh.
JOHN TAYLOR GILMAN. By his Excellency's command, with advice of Council, JOSEPH PEARSON, Secretary.

THE FOLLY OF ATHEISM.
AN ODE BY DR. DARWIN. "I am fearfully and wonderfully made." DULL Atheist! I could a giddy dance...
Why do not Arabs driving fands, The sport of every form, Fair freighted fleers, the child of chance, Or gorgeous temples form?
Prefumptuous wretch! thyself survey, That letter fabric fean; Tell me from whence ih' immortal dust, The god, the repule man?
Where wast thou, when this pop'lous earth From chaos burst its way, When fars exulting sang the morn, And hail'd the new born day?
What, when the embryo fpeck of life, The miniature of man, Nursed in the womb, its slender form To ftretch and fwel began?
Say, didft thou warp the fibre woof? Or mould the tenuif brain? Thy fingers ftretch the living nerve! Or fill the purple vein?
Didft thou then bid the bounding heart Its endlefs toil begin? Or clothe in flefh the hardning bone, Or weave the filken skin?
Who bids the babe, to catch the breeze, Expand his panting breaft; And with impaflent hands, untaught, The milky fill arreft?
Or who with unexquifih'd love The mothers' bofom warms, Along the rugged paths of life To bear it in her arms?
A God! a God! the wide earth fhouts, A God! the heavens reply; He moulded in his palm the world, And hung it to the fky.
Let us make man!—With beauty clad, And health in every vein; And reafon thron'd upon his brow, Step'd forth majeftic man.
Around he turns his wond'ring eyes, All nature's works furveys; Admires the earth; the fies; himfelf! And tries his tongue in praife.
Ye hills and vales! ye meads and woods! Bright fun and glittering ftars! Fair creatures, tell me, if you can, From whence and what I am!
What parent power, all great and good, Do thefe around me own; Tell me, Creation, tell me how T'adore the vaf't Unknown!

A CERTAIN clergyman, meeting one of his parishioners who was very aged, said to him, friend you are now got to be very old, and cannot expect to live but a few days longer:—No, said the old gentleman, I shall soon die, and go to HEAVEN, and never shall see you any more.
A gentleman of the law, on his return from Bengal, in a heavy gale of wind, off the Cape of Good Hope, asked an officer of the ship, with great anxiety, "whether he could be of any possible use?" "Yes," said the officer, "prove an alibi."
THE MISER'S PRAYER. [Improved from an European original.]
O Lord, thou knowest that I have nine houses and stores in State-Street, Cornhill, and Long-Wharf; and likewise a small farm in Cambridge; Lord I beseech thee to preserve State-Street, Cornhill, and the Long-Wharf from fire, and the county of Middlesex from earthquakes; and as I have a mortgage in Essex, I beg of thee to have compassion on that county; and Lord, for the rest of the streets, waves and countries thou movest deal with them as thou art pleased: O Lord enable the banks to answer all their bills; lessen the number of bankrupts amongst those who owe me; and make all my debtors good men;—Give prosperous voyages to the Industry, Mermaids, and indeed all the vessels which I have insured: and Lord thou hast said that the days of the wicked are but short, I trust in thee O Lord that thou wilt not forget thy promise, having lately purchased several estates in reversion of profligate young men.—Lord preserve peace in Europe, that the American flocks may keep rising; and if it be thy will let there be no locking funds. Keep my son Caleb out of evil company, and gaining houses; and sanctify, O Lord, this night to me, by preserving me from thieves and fire, and make my servants honest and careful; which I thy faithful servant lie down in thee, O Lord. AMEN.
DIRECTIONS
For preserving APPLES thro' the winter—from Dean's New England Farmer. "The secret of preserving apples through the winter, in a sound state, is of no small importance. Some say, that shutting them up in a tight cask is an effectual method, and it seems probable; for they soon rot in open air. But an easier method and what has recommended itself to me by the experience of several years, is as follows: I gather them about noon, at the full of the moon, in the latter part of September, or beginning of October. Then spread them in a chamber or garret where they lie about the last of November. Then remove them into casks or boxes in the cellar, out of the way of the frost; but I prefer a cool part of the cellar. With this management I find I can keep them till the last of May, so well that not one in fifty will rot."
