By Authority. STATE OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE. In the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and five.
AN ACT, impowering the inhabitants of Piercy, in the county of Coos, to raise a tax on all the land in said Piercy, public lands excepted, for the purpose of making a road and bridges in said Piercy, which road leads through said Piercy to Portland.
WHEREAS, a petition has been presented to the General Court by a number of the inhabitants of Piercy, in the county of Coos, praying that the lands in said town may be taxed for the purpose aforesaid;—Therefore;
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened, That Abner Clark, Elisha Blake, and Edward Rowell, be and they hereby are appointed a committee to assess a tax of two cents on each acre of land in said Piercy, public rights excepted, counting undivided land at forty acres a right, and the said committee shall collect the same, to be appropriated to the sole use of making and repairing said road and bridges, and the said committee shall lay out said road through said Piercy, and make return thereof to the clerk of the court of Common Pleas in said county, and the said tax shall be collected in the same way and manner as state taxes assessed on non-resident proprietors by law are, except that the list of taxes left with the deputy Secretary shall remain in his office till the fifteenth day of September instead of the first, as by law is otherwise directed.
And be it further enacted, That the said committee shall in the month of May in the year when said tax is assessed, give public notice in the New-Hampshire Gazette and in the newspaper printed at Hanover, six weeks successively of the assessment of said tax and of the leave granted to the resident and non-resident owners to work out said tax as hereafter provided.
And be it further enacted, That the owners of land in said Piercy, whether residents or non-residents, shall have the liberty of working out the said taxes on said road or bridges in said town, as the said committee shall direct, whose duty it shall be to superintend the same, or appoint some suitable person for that purpose, at the rate of seven cents an hour for every able bodied man finding his own diet and tools, and for ox work at the rate of six cents an hour, any time between the first day of June and the fifteenth day of September in the year when the said tax is assessed, and if the said tax is not duly paid or worked out as above provided, on or before the fifteenth day of September in the year when such tax is assessed, the said committee shall proceed in collecting the same in the same way and manner as collectors of State taxes are by law directed to do.
And be it further enacted, That when any lands are sold at public auction by virtue of this act, the aforesaid committee are hereby impowered to give a good and valid deed of the same; and the same time shall be allowed for redemption and the same mode pursued in redeeming as in the case of lands sold for non-payment of State taxes:—Provided, That no deed shall be executed until one year after the sale; and the said committee shall previous to the collection of said tax give bond in the penalty of fifteen hundred dollars to the clerk of the court of Common Pleas for the county of Coos, for the faithful appropriation of the tax aforesaid, within two years from the first advertising agreeably to the true intention of this act; which bond may be sued in any court competent to try the same, and one half of the sum recovered shall be for the use of the proprietors, and the other half for the use of the county.
State of New-Hampshire, In the House of Representatives, December 23d, 1805.—The foregoing bill having had three several readings passed to be enacted.
Sent up for Concurrence, SAMUEL BELL, Speaker. In Senate, December 24th, A. D. 1805.—This bill having been read a third time was enacted. CLEMENT STORER, President. Approved, December 24, 1805. JOHN LANGDON, Governor. A true copy,—ATTEST, PHILIP CARRIGAIN, jr. Secretary.
For the N. H. Gazette. Messrs. Printers, BEING not a little surprised at seeing in your paper of 4th instant, a nomination for Senators, for the county of York; purporting to have been agreed upon by a respectable number of republican gentlemen from various towns in the county, who met at Alfred on 13th ult. in which Mr. Bartlett of Saco is one of the candidates. Let the truth appear;—The said nomination was published in the Freeman's Friend, a paper printed at Saco, and said to be edited by Mr. Bartlett; and this immediately after the meeting was said to have been held at Alfred; and I am credibly informed that this meeting was wholly by the instigation of this would be Senator;—that circulars have been seen in several parts of the county addressed to his particular friends, appointing this meeting, and urging their attendance; that those persons who attended, about twenty in number, slipped away from home unbeckoned to their neighbours, and when met at Alfred, were said to represent the republican electors of their several towns; that this candidate attended the meeting himself and harangued the company to his usual style, and endeavoured to warm them up to electioneering with vigor, as a General would his soldiers to charge an enemy;—what duplicity! what a piece of deception is here endeavoured to be palmed upon the people.—Is the county of York thus to be gulled? No, Messrs. Printers, I think that the electors of this county will have their eyes open to their true interest and not be any longer deceived by an office hunter; would those respectable gentlemen who attended the meeting at Alfred be willing to have their names exposed to the public? no, I think, from the secret manner in which the meeting was conducted, that they did not intend that any individual of it should ever come to the public eye; knowing that the finger of scorn would be deservedly pointed at such a proceeding; otherwise they must be insensible to the finer feelings arising from a just regard to propriety, and an open and manly conduct. The consistent republicans, in the county of York, will unite in the support of the Hon. JOHN WOODMAN and JOSEPH STOREK, esquires, as Senators at the ensuing election. ALFRED.
Messrs. Printers, At an early period two candidates for the Senatorial ticket, for the county of York, on the first Monday of April next, were announced in the paper printed in the county of York, viz. JOSEPH BARTLETT and ALEXANDER RICE, esquires—These candidates were agreed upon at a respectable meeting of Republican citizens at Alfred, on the 13th ult.—Shortly after we were informed in a Portland paper that we undervaluing republicans in the county of York would unite in the Hon. John Woodman and Joseph Storer, Esq's.—Now as one of the electors I wish to be informed by whom the two last mentioned candidates were nominated—I am far from willing to initiate the feelings of any one, but if report says true they were imposed on "the citizens of this respectable county," by a man who is no less noted for his intemperate abuse of every one who refuses to give implicit obedience to his mandates, than for his want of honor and principle—I am not prejudiced against these candidates, but I consider them as far from suitable men to represent us in the Senate of the Commonwealth—I do not wish to cast reflections on any man, but I cannot conceive what political frenzy could induce any one to nominate Joseph Storer for the Senate—The Hon. John Woodman has been the Senator for several years, and perhaps some may almost conclude it is his hereditary right, and would pronounce it treason to bring in a competitor for the office; but many of us are not satisfied that his talents are such as would warrant us in granting him the office during life; we have therefore determined to give our votes for JOSEPH BARTLETT and ALEXANDER RICE, at the ensuing election.—They have both been Senators from this county, and malice itself dares not say they did not discharge their official duty with fidelity, and done honor to their constituents.—If they have been tried and found faithful, what pretence can be urged that they should not be chosen again? Why are they not now as well entitled to our confidence as they were when we before gave them our votes?—If they are not, why do not their opponents point out wherein they are disqualified, and warn their fellow citizens of the danger they are in of electing bad men?—If they refrain from doing this what conclusion shall we draw?—Shall we not conclude that they are unable to point any errors in their political life?
The federalists exult in our division, and promise themselves success from dissension among the republicans.—Ought we not then, from this consideration, if from no other to unite, and defeat their machinations, and once more give that weight to the Republican interest in the State Councils to which we are justly entitled? By uniting in the choice of Senators it is easy to defeat and completely silence the unjust influence of the federal faction.—It is hoped Republicans will need no other incentive to act in concert.—Federalists act with far more discretion in these instances than Republicans.—If men engaged in a bad cause, set an example worthy to be followed, to those who are enlisted into the cause of liberty and our invaluable rights, shall we deem it a disgrace to adopt, that example?—If by union they hope to triumph; shall not Republicans unite, and ensure a triumph? AN INDEPENDENT ELECTOR, York, March 4, 1806

From the National Intelligencer.
The Philadelphia Gazette of the 19th inst. contains the following queries, in the shape of a communication.
SERIOUS QUESTIONS TO MR. MADISON.
"Did Miranda go to Washington about the middle of December last?
"Had he two long interviews with you?
"Did he not present you a plan of an expedition against the province of Caracas?
"Did he support the probability of success by the exhibition of various letters, either real or spurious, supposed to be written to him from his friends in that country?
"Did he show you a plan of the government he intended to establish in those provinces?
"Did the President peruse the said plan of government, keep the manuscript 24 hours in his possession, and return it afterwards to Miranda approving it in general terms?
"Did you observe to Miranda, that Congress did not appear inclined to go to war with Spain?
"Did Miranda reply that if government was not so disposed he could carry the plan into execution himself, if they did not interfere about his preparations?
"Did you answer him, after a long pause, that government would shut their eyes, provided he would act with the necessary caution so as not to commit them?
"Did Miranda return immediately to N. York to make his preparations, and act in consequence?
"Is it possible, is it credible that if Miranda had not met from you with a kind of indirect encouragement he would immediately on his return from Washington have proceeded to expenses that a little vigilance alone, might have rendered useless?
"It is credible, that, without that indirect support, two officers of the federal government at the port of N. York, could have engaged in such a nefarious proceeding?
"Is it credible that one of them would have permitted his eldest son to attend general Miranda in this depredatory expedition, in the capacity of his aid?
"Is it true that the Leander, in which this young man embarked, had on board many muskets, rifles, pikes, field pieces, howitzers, ammunition of all kinds, regiments, two printing presses, with ten or twelve journeyman printers?
"Is it true, that this vessel remained in port a fortnight after clearing out at the custom house, to embark recruits, and that the objects of her delay were generally known at N. York?
"Is it to be supposed that if the administration had even not had any previous information of the scheme, they could be ignorant of these transactions known to every body else?—Even admitting for supposition sake that they had not a previous knowledge, would not their supposed ignorance, be a glaring proof of the most criminal neglect?
"Has not the honor and neutrality of our country been committed in the most scandalous manner by an hostile armament fitted out in our ports under the eyes of public officers, consisting of American ships under American flags, with American officers, American crews and American volunteers, American arms and many other American implements of war, with the object of attacking the colonies of a nation with whom we are at peace?
"Are not all these circumstances together, sufficiently weighty to influence the Spanish commanders, if Miranda's attempt takes place, to lay an embargo on all American property within their jurisdiction.
"Will not the innocent merchant of the United States be exposed to the most ruinous and disastrous consequences if an event of this nature should take place?
"And should they not consider either a criminal connivance or a not less culpable neglect on the part of those through whose authority such scandalous proceedings could have been checked and prevented as the true causes of their misfortunes?
"These questions are made by every body, and we must confess that daily circumstances occur which in our opinion render a satisfactory answer more and more difficult. We submit them to the public, as immediately interested in the clearing up of a mystery which appears to hang over this affair, and which seriously threatens the interest of our fellow citizens."
The first impression made on the reader, by a perusal of these questions is, that they are like the offspring of some man, who, hatched in the vices of European governments, has undertaken, through ignorance or malevolence, to ascribe to those who administer our system, the like atrocities with those committed by transatlantic administrations; in short that they are the production of some foreigner who, from causes easily assignable by every man conversant with some recent occurrences, or from those of an inexplicable nature, is thus infamously employed in despoiling one of the purest characters in the nation of his fair fame, and aiming a deadly blow at the character of the whole government.—The charges ascribed to the President and Mr. Madison cannot have emanated from an American heart or an American head. They are too absurd and too malignant to be cherished by any one, whose interests are embarked in our common destiny.—How they received admission into an American print, unless it was to expose hereafter the disgraceful motives from which they sprung, is not easily to be accounted for.
To enter into a serious refutation of such charges preferred under the mask of anonymous signature, were worse than useless. It were to imagine it possible that a part of the American people were made of such materials as to be the dupes of such calumnies.—If they were composed of such materials, it would be of little consequence what opinions they entertained. For
their esteem could confer no honor, and their censure no disgrace.
It may not however, be amiss to notice one source of representation, which goes on the ground that the government must have been apprised of the expedition of Miranda, before it took place.
It is alleged that every body knew it, and, of consequence that the administration could not have been ignorant of it. If this is a fact, how comes it that the Spanish minister, knew nothing of it? If he had been apprised of it he surely would not have been silent.
How comes it that the Spanish consul was ignorant of it? How comes it that the agents of France were ignorant of it? And how comes it that it was unknown to the merchants of N. York, that very class of men whose interests are said to be so compromised by it, and who if they had known it, would not have been backward in using decisive means to defeat it? How comes it that it remained unnoticed in all the newspapers?
The facts, as we have had them represented to us, are these:
The Leander was stationed at a considerable distance from the city of N. York.
The supplies with which she was furnished were sent from time to time, by lighters in detail.
And Miranda, all this time was absent from the city.
That he had his confidants is almost certain—but it is equally certain that they did not betray the trust reposed in them.
Under these circumstances, it may well comport with a foreigner, the subject of a government, whose jealous eye is fixed upon the actions of all its subjects, to infer that our government manifests a like vigilance, and exercises a like restraint over the actions of its citizens—but we know better—we know that the government moves in that sphere, and in that only, which the constitution prescribes—and that even in this limited sphere its predominant motive is confidence and not distrust.

VICTORY OVER THE ALLIED ARMIES.
The following Official Bulletins of the Grand Army of France were received last evening by a Packet from New York.
Thirtieth Bulletin of the Grand Army Austerlitz, 12th Frimaire, year 14.
At 1 o'clock in the morning the Emperor mounted on horseback to visit his posts, reconnoitre the fires of the enemy's batteries and receive an account from the large guards from what they might have heard of the movements of the Russians.—He learned that they had spent the night in drunkenness and tumultuous cries; and that a corps of Russian infantry had presented themselves at the village of Sokolnitz, occupied by a regiment of the division of General Degrade, who received orders to reinforce it.
The 11th Frimaire, day at length appeared.—The sun rose radiant; and this anniversary of the Emperor's coronation, on which one of the finest feasts of arms of the age was going to take place, was one of the finest days of this autumn.
This battle, which the soldiers persist in calling the engagement of the three emperors, which others call the engagement of the anniversary, and which the Emperor has called the battle of Austerlitz, will be forever memorable in the annals of the Great Nation.
The Emperor, surrounded by all his Marshals, waited to give his last orders, till the horizons should be well lighted. At the first rays of the sun the orders were given, and each marshal rejoined his corps in full gallop.
The Emperor said in passing along the front of several regiments: "Soldiers, we must finish this campaign by a clap of thunder which shall confound the pride of our enemies;" and immediately the hats on the point of the bayonets, and shouts of long live the Emperor! were the true signal for action.
A moment after the cannonade was heard at the extremity of the right, which the enemy's advanced guard had already passed; but the unforeseen encounter of Marshal Davoust stopped the enemy short, and the engagement commenced.
Marshal Soule moved off at the same instant, marched towards the village of Pratzen with the divisions of general Vandamme and St. Hilaire, and entirely cut the enemy's right, all the movements of which became uncertain.—Surprised by a march of flank whilst it was flying, thinking itself attacking and seeing itself attacked, it looked upon itself as half beaten.
Prince Murat moved off with his cavalry. The left commanded by marshal Lannes, marched in echelons by regiments, as at exercise. A tremendous
cannonade commenced along the whole line; 200 pieces of cannon and nearly 200,000 men made a dreadful noise; it was a real combat of giants.—The armies had not yet been fighting for an hour, and the whole of the enemy's left was cut off. His right found itself already arrived at Austerlitz, the head-quarters of the two Emperors, who were immediately forced to march, the Emperor of Russia's guards, to endeavor to re-establish the communication of the left.
A battalion of the 4th of the line was charged by the Russian Imperial horse guards, and routed; but the Emperor was not far off: perceiving this movement, he ordered marshal Bessieres to march to the succour of his right with his invincibles, and shortly after the two guards, were engaged.
The success could not be doubtful: in a moment the Russian guards were routed. Colonel, artillery, standards, all were carried away. The regiment of the Grand Duke Constantine was crushed. He himself owed his safety only to the swiftness of his horse.
From the heights of Austerlitz, the two emperors beheld the defeat of all the Russian guards. At the same moment the centre of the army, commanded by marshal Bernadotte, advanced; three of his regiments maintained a very fine charge of cavalry. The left, commanded by marshal Lannes, attacked several times. All the charges were victorious. The division of Gen. Caffarelli distinguished itself.
The division curassiers seized the enemies batteries. At one o'clock in the afternoon, the victory was decided—it had not been a single moment doubtful. Not a man of the reserve had been necessary, nor had fought any where, but at our right. The enemy's corps which had been surrounded and driven from all its heights, found itself in a low ground and pushed up against a lake. The Emperor marched thither with 20 pieces of cannon. This corps was driven from position to position, and a horrible spectacle ensued, such as was seen at Aboukir, 20,000 men throwing themselves into the water and drowning themselves in the lakes.
Two columns, each of four thousand Russians, laid down their arms and surrendered prisoners—the enemy's whole park is taken. The result of this engagement is 40 stands of Russian colors among which are the standards of the Imperial guards—a considerable number of prisoners, the staff does not yet know them all. It had already notice of 20,000. 12 or 15 generals—at least 15,000 Russians killed, remained on the field of battle. Although the reports be not yet arrived, we can at the first coup d'oeil, estimate our loss at 800 men killed, and between 15 and 1600 wounded. This will not astonish military men, who know that it is only in a rout that men are lost, and no other corps but the battalion of the 4th was broken. Among the wounded is Gen. St. Hilaire, who wounded at the commencement of the engagement, remained the whole day in the field of battle—he covered himself with glory. The generals of division, Kellermann and Walthier, the generals of brigade, Valhubert, Thiebaut, Sebastiani, Campan and Rapp, aid de camp to the emperor. It was the latter, who in charging at the head of the grenadiers of the guards took Prince Repnin commander of the knights of the imperial guards of Russia. As to the men who have distinguished themselves, it is the whole army which has covered itself with glory, it constantly charged, shouting Long live the Emperor, and the idea of celebrating so gloriously the anniversary of the coronation further animated the soldiers.
The French army, although numerous and beautiful, was inferior in number to the enemy's army, which consisted of 105,000 men, 80,000 of whom were Russians, and 25,000 Austrians. Half of this army is destroyed—the rest has been put to the rout and the greater part have thrown down their arms.
From the Babouac, 10th Frimaire.
Soldiers,
You see before you the Russian army come to avenge the Austrian army of Ulm. They are the same battalions you have beaten at Hollabrunn, and whom you have constantly pursued to this place.
The positions we occupy are as formidable, and whilst they march to turn my right, they will present me their flank.
Soldiers, I shall direct in person all your battalions—I shall keep at a distance from the fire, if with your accustomed bravery you carry disorder and confusion into the enemy's ranks—but if victory be for a moment uncertain, you will see your Emperor expose himself to the first blows—for victory cannot hesitate in this day especially when the honor of the French infantry, which imports so much to the honor of the whole nation, is at stake.
Let not your ranks be thinned under pretext of carrying off the wounded, and let each man be well penetrated with the thought that we must vanquish these suppositories of England who are animated with so great a hatred against our nation.
This victory will finish our campaign, and we may take up our winter quarters where we shall be joined by the new armies now forming in France, and then the peace I shall make, will be worthy of my people, of you, and of me.
Signed, NAPOLEON. By order, the Major-General of the Army, Marshal BERTHIER.
Austerlitz, 12th Frimaire.
Soldiers, I am satisfied with you; you have in the engagement of Austerlitz, justified what I expected from your intrepidity. You have decorated your eagles with an immortal glory. An army of 100,000 men, commanded by the Emperors of Russia and Austria, has been in less than four hours cut to pieces and dispersed; those who have escaped your swords, have been drowned in the lakes.
Forty pair of colours, the standards of the Imperial Guards of Russia, 120 pieces of cannon, twenty generals, upwards of 30,000 prisoners, are the result of this memorable day. This infantry so much boasted of and in superior numbers, have not been able to resist your shock, and henceforth you will have no more rivals to dread. Thus in two months, this third coalition has been vanquished and dissolved. Peace can no longer be at a distance; but, as I promised my people, before crossing the Rhine, I will only make a peace which shall give us guarantees and secure rewards to our allies.
Soldiers, when the French people placed the Imperial Crown on my head, I trusted to you to maintain it forever in that high splendour of glory which could alone render it valuable in my eyes. But at the same moment our enemies thought of destroying and vilifying it; and the iron crown conquered by the blood of so many Frenchmen, they wished to oblige me to place on the head of our most cruel enemies; rash and senseless projects, that on the very day of the anniversary of your Emperor's coronation you have annihilated and confounded. You have taught them that it is easier to brave and to threaten, than it is to conquer us.
Soldiers, when every thing that is necessary to insure the happiness and prosperity of our country shall be accomplished, I will conduct you back to France. There you will be the object of my most tender solicititudes. My people will again behold you with joy, and it will be sufficient for you to say I was at the battle of Austerlitz, for them to answer, That is a brave fellow!
(Signed,) NAPOLEON. The Minister Secretary of State. (Signed,) H. A. MARET.

Austerlitz, 4th Frimaire, year 14.
The Emperor set out yesterday from Austerlitz, for his advanced posts near Sarutchi, where he placed himself near his bivouac. The Emperor of Germany was not long in arriving there. The two Monarchs had an interview which lasted two hours. The Emperor of Germany did not conceal both on his side and on that of the Emperor of Russia, the contempt they feel for the conduct of England.—They are a set of shopkeepers, he repeated, who set the Continent on fire in order to secure to themselves the trade of the world.
These two Princes agreed on an armistice and on the principal conditions of peace which is to be negotiated and terminated within a few days.—The Emperor of Germany then informed the Emperor that the Emperor of Russia likewise desired to make a separate peace; that he entirely abandoned the affairs of England, and no longer took any interest in them.
The Emperor of Germany frequently repeated "There is no doubt but that in her dispute with England, France is in the right." He solicited also a truce for the remainder of the Russian army. The Emperor observed to him that the Russian army was surrounded, and that not a man could escape; but added that "I desire to do something agreeable to the Emperor Alexander, I will suffer the Russian army to pass. I will stop the march of my columns, but your majesty must promise me that the Russian army will return into Russia and evacuate Germany and Austria and Prussian Poland." Such is the intention of the Emperor Alexander, replied the Emperor of Germany.—I can assure you besides you may convince yourself of it in course of the night by your own officers.
The General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, terminated their winter session, on Friday last.

BY THE LAST MAILS.
ANOTHER NAVAL VICTORY.
Capt. Hooton at Baltimore, on the 5th inst. from St. Domingo, in 20 days, and informs, that on the 6th February, a battle took place off that port between a French fleet from Brest, composed of five sail of the line, two frigates, and a corvette, and an English fleet of 7 sail of the line, and two frigates: which terminated in the capture of THREE, and sinking the other two French ships of the line.
The French fleet consisted of L'Imperial of 130 guns, Admiral Lefesgues; Le Jupiter, 74; Le Brave, 84; L'Alexander, 74, and La Diomede, 74—La Felicite of 44, and La Comet of 36 guns, and La Diligence of 22 guns.
Previous to the battle the French had landed 600 men. The action lasted three hours.
Two days after another English fleet of 13 sail arrived off St. Domingo.
The Imperial's upper decks blew up, when the sunk, about 7 miles from the city; when 700 souls perished. She was a new ship, and thought to be the fastest in the French navy.—Cent.
The following letters from St. Domingo confirm the above tidings:
City of St. Domingo, Feb. 9, 1806.
"On the 6th, at day light, an English fleet hove in sight, in S. E.—As numbers of the French were on shore, it was 7 o'clock before the French got under way. They consisted of five sail of the line, two frigates, and one corvette [as above detailed]—At nine the French line was formed, their frigates inshore. At 10 the leading English ship, the Dragon, of 74 guns, Ad. Dickworth, commenced firing on the French, and proceeded intrepidly alone, to break the line, and succeeded, the whole French line firing upon him, for at least 20 minutes, before the rest of the British, (six sail of the line) came up. The French Admiral in the smoke mistaking Le Alexander for a British ship, fired into, dismayed her, and rendered her useless.
"Two English 84's engaged the French Admiral, beat the ports of the middle and upper deck into one, so that the deck from the main hatchway forward fell in, and crushed many poor fellows to pieces.—The French Admiral was wounded, and finding it impossible to escape ran the Le Imperial on the rocks to leeward of the city. The Diomede, of 74, followed his example; the other ships struck, and were taken by the British.
"All the French ships fought bravely, excepting Le Brave, of 74 guns, and she struck the third broad-side.—It is said not more than 20 of Le Imperial's crew, which consisted of 1350 can be found. The Diomede had 250 killed before she went ashore; and many were drowned and killed in attempting to climb the rocks.
"The English ships suffered very much in their hulls and rigging; and though they captured the enemy's vessels, have not much to brag of. I saw the whole of the engagement from the city.
"The result of this battle is fortunate for us; as the French were going down to plunder and burn the black ports; when many Americans would have been taken and condemned.
"There is an English fleet now off; and there seems to have been another battle to windward, as there is a French dismayed line of battle ship off the harbour; and an English fleet came in light this day, one of which had lost her mizen-mast."
City of St. Domingo, Feb. 10, 1806.
"Last night an American brig was captured by the second British fleet, consisting of five sail of the line, six frigates, and two brigs off this port.—[The writer proceeds to give an account of the battle of the 6th, not materially varying from the above. He says the French attacked the British ships for one hour, and lost between 600 and 800 men; that he imagined three of the British ships were disabled, two with the loss of their mizen masts, and one totally disabled. The frigates, and corvette, he thinks, escaped.]—The following is the fate of the French fleet:
   SHIPS. GUNS. FATE.     L'Imperial 130 Ran on shore, & burned   Le Brave, Coudé 74 Taken, dismasted.   Le Alexander 80 Taken.   Le Jupiter 74 Taken.   La Diomede 74 Ran on shore, & burned   No account of the frigates and corvette."  
A letter from Mr. J. P. VERNON, dated Santo Domingo, Feb. 11, gives a detailed statement of the account, in accordance with the above. He adds, that the French arrived there the 24th Jan. on which an embargo took place; that on seeing the British, on the 6th, they slipped their cables, and went to sea to avoid a combat; that the Imperial and Diomede, which were run ashore, had about 1000 killed or wounded; and that he believed the French had burnt the Imperial and Diomede. The Admiral was wounded; his first aid-de-camp shot through the body; and out of 15 midshipmen on board, nine were killed."
FROM EUROPE.—In addition to the highly important intelligence under the foreign head in this day's paper, we have been favored with this subsequent extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated January 20th, 1806; it comes thro' a most respectable source:
"Last evening a courier arrived here, bringing Official advice that a TREATY OF PEACE was signed at Presburg, on the 27th of December, at four o'clock in the morning, between FRANCE and AUSTRIA, by Mon Talleyrand and the Prince of Lichtenstein. The particulars are not known. But the Venetian States are to be attached to the kingdom of Italy; and the elector of Bavaria is to have the title of King, with an augmentation of territory to his dominions."
Four buildings were destroyed by fire on Thursday morning last, in Boston.

We are obliged to omit several communications and advertisements this day, to give place to the Official and highly interesting Foreign News, which will be found under the foreign head.
Town-meetings thro'out the State.
Tuesday last, agreeable to law, the citizens of this enlightened State, exercised their rights and privileges as FREEMEN and assembled in their respective towns, and gave in their suffrages for State & county officers.
At the commencement of the meeting in this town, the citizens made choice of their Republican friend Wm. GARDNER, Esq. as moderator, who presided with dignity, and impartiality on the occasion.—The votes at the close of the poll were unanimous for that venerable, highly respected and tried friend and patriot of his country, His Excellency John Langdon, Esq. as Governor.
This is greater evidence than volumes of newspaper panegyric could possibly give,—that his administration the last year has been unexceptionable and highly approved of, even by those who were once his political enemies. He has convinced multitudes that He, (in the language of our beloved President) views all good federalists as GOOD REPUBLICANS. For in his numerous appointments and promotions the past year, it is very generally known, he has not been influenced in the least by sinister, party, or political views;—but his only enquiry has been, is the candidate an honest, upright character, and friend of his country!—and if the affirmative, he has never raised an objection. This honorable, generous, noble conduct in a Chief Magistrate, is deserving the eulogy of the ablest pen.—There is no doubt but he is nearly unanimously re-elected Governor of this State the ensuing year; therefore we think it will be quite unnecessary to continue our weekly list of votes, as on former occasions, when there has been a contest between rival candidates.—In this town,
   For Governor, His Excellency John Langdon, 488.   Councillor, Levi Bartlett, 487   Senator, General Storer, 431   Capt. Daniel Gookin, 43   Wentworth Cheswell, Esq. 10   Recorder of Deeds, Josiah Adams, 461   County Treasurer, Nathaniel Gilman, Esq. 459   Representatives, Messrs. Elijah Hall, William Ham, Charles Cutts and Richard Evans.  
Votes for Senator, District No. 1.

THE action off St. Domingo is reported, with many circumstances, which leave little doubt of a severe engagement, and that the French were overpowered by the English. No want of courage appears on the part of the French, and every action discovers that the English may at some not far distant day, find a powerful rival even in France, upon that element on which at present she is Sovereign.
In Congress, Mr. Randolph has called for a statement of imports and exports, in consequence of Mr. Gregg's proposed resolution for a non-importation with Great Britain. No sure calculations can be made of the disposition of the House upon such a measure, and the Republicans are not united in it. But that something must be done to convince the British nation of our union and strength, seems to be acknowledged. Should a general prohibition not obtain, then Nicholson's proposition for a partial interruption of our commerce will be considered. What the operation of the St. Domingo bill will be, is a question. If it could have been adopted in a form less burdensome, it would not have lost any part of its recommendation. In what manner it will be received in St. Domingo, by the blacks, is a question, and what use the British will make of it after the late advantages they have gained over the French in those seas, time must explain. That France will attempt the reduction of the island, is probable, and with whatever degree of success, the intercourse must cease when such an attempt begins. That the French will embarrass the English as well as the American trade from that part of the island they possess, is unquestionable.
We have reason to believe that the British court have assured our minister that they will give him soon a conclusive answer, but it remains in the power of some interesting events to determine that answer in a manner friendly to our commerce. From the next dispatches, the most important news may be expected. [Salom Register.]
For the GAZETTE. On the Administration of JUSTICE.
So sacred a virtue is justice, and so beneficial to the public, that it is the great concern of Governments to trust the administration of it to no person but such as fear God, and abhor covetousness; for then men will not suffer by the false of reason, and by allowing the law to have a course of traffic. Many reasons have been assigned for promoting the speedy execution of justice, but few have been hearkened to, that tend to prevent injustice and delays, by which means it often happens that sentences and judgments are more criminal than the crimes themselves. And so a man receives more injury by the law, and its officers than from his enemy who forced him to commence the action. Laws bear the name, but money has the power.
The cause is bad when the client's poor. The Robe's too modest to resist our gold: So judgment, like our other wares is sold: Our juis are traver's'd, and so little wonn, That he who conquers is but last undone. EXTRACT.
COMMUNICATION.
Messrs. Printers. IN perusing your paper of the 11th inst. I observed a piece signed "South End," recommending the re-election of GEORGE WENTWORTH, Esq. Town Clerk. As Mr. Wentworth's political principles and my own correspond, and believing him correct in the official duties of the office, the few observations I may make will not (I hope by Mr. W.) be misconstrued.
When John Penhallow, Esq. was Town Clerk, the office, tho' not lucrative, was put into the hands Jeremiah Libbey, Esq. from principles which at the time induced the inhabitants to give him their suffrages; Mr. Libbey, held the office for a series of years, and discharged the duties thereof to the satisfaction of his constituents, tho' copying the example of his predecessors, was displaced, and succeeded by John Evans, Esq. who filled the office with universal satisfaction until his decease. Mr. Wentworth succeeded him in the office, which he has held for fourteen years, receiving the emoluments arising therefrom.—In addition to a lucrative office has been given him under the General Government, which he now holds. The motives which induced the removals before stated were truly benevolent, it being no less than relieving a worthy citizen, (as far as the emoluments arising from the office could relieve) when his predecessor was more amply provided for.—Under these impressions I beg leave to recommend Mr. SAMUEL FERNALD, to your suffrages—his character needs no eulogy; he is too well known among his townsmen to require a public recommendation.
MARRIED.
In this town, Capt. JOSEPH SALTER, to Miss SARAH FROST. ISAAC LYMAN, Esq. to Miss LUCRETIA PICKERING.
DIED.
In this town Mr. WILLIAM NELSON, aged 77; WILLIAM, aged 10 months, child of Mr. Edward Kelly; a child of Capt. William Stavers, aged 1 year; at the Almshouse, Miss RUTH MILLER, aged 58.

From Dr. Buist's funeral sermon.
While yet we stand in the presence of God, with this affecting spectacle before our eyes, and surrounded with the numerous manifestations of the dead...
Hither let the men of the world also repair and derive instruction from this scene. What desolation do you here behold! What profound silence reigns among the inhabitants of the tomb!
Listen to the votaries of ambition! To what is addressed to you by one of the occupants of that church-yard! "I have enjoyed before you that place of preferment which you now seek."
Listen, ye covetous! to what another of these dead seems to utter: "I was tormented with the same insatiable desire of heaping up wealth that now occupies your breast."
May the salutary impressions, which have this day been made upon our minds, abide with us, and influence our conduct during the whole of our remaining abode on earth! AMEN.
