PUBLIC Notice is hereby given, that JOSEPH DYER and others, have petitioned the General Court representing that it is highly necessary not only to promote the settlement of new countries, but for the accommodation of the public at large, to have as early as may be convenient, our market roads judiciously laid out, which in many cases like this, would operate as a vast saving, both of time spent in travelling and money in clearing roads, (which when the country becomes settled, are wholly neglected) when a much shorter and more level way might be found and through lands infinitely better for settlement. And whereas, it has long since been contemplated, by a large number of the northeastern settlements in the State of Vermont, and the northern settlements in this State, that a much shorter, more level and convenient route to market, may be had down Ammonoosuc river, than the road now travelled thro' the notch of the White Hills. And whereas a road is laid out from Colebrook through Errol to Dummer, and one from Strafford through Piercy to Dummer, and another from the toll bridge over Connecticut River, at the little falls in Northumberland to Piercy and thence to Dummer, all of which being made passable, will in the opinion of said petitioners, accommodate three fourths of the inhabitants in the new county of Coos much better than the one through the notch. And whereas a road has been laid out, and partly cleared from Dummer through Paulsburg, Maynesborough, Shelburne addition and Shelburne to extend from thence to Portland or Portsmouth, which in point of distance, will save thirty miles, and being infinitely more level, will upon a moderate calculation save 20 miles more. And whereas Winslow's location, Paulsburg, Maynesborough and Shelburne addition are as yet unsettled, the petitioners aforesaid pray that the Legislature would grant a tax on said Winslow's Location, Dummer, Paulsburg, Maynesborough and Shelburne addition, of THREE CENTS on each acre, public lands excepted, under such regulations and restrictions as shall be thought best for the public good.
ORDERED that the petitioners be heard on said petition before the General Court on the second Wednesday of their next session, and that the petitioners cause that the substance of the petition and order of Court thereon, be published in the New-Hampshire Gazette and in the Oracle, printed at Portsmouth, three weeks successively, commencing ten weeks prior to said day of hearing, that any person or persons may then appear, and show cause, if any they have, why the prayer thereof may not be granted. Attest, JOHN A. HARPER, Clerk of the Senate. Concord, June 17, 1805.

State of New-Hampshire. PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given, that Eliza Blake and others have petitioned the General Court, representing that the legislature at their December session 1803, granted a tax on the town of Strafford, among other things to make a road from Strafford to Piercy, and at their June session 1804, granted a tax on the town of Northumberland, a part of which to be laid out on a road from Northumberland to Piercy, and whereas said said roads join in Piercy and extend on eastward through said Piercy, Winslow's Location, Dummer, Paulsburg and on to Shelburne, it being a principal road from the north east part of said State to Portland. And whereas, to accommodate the public, it is necessary to make about eighteen miles of road, through a rough and a new country. Therefore, for the public good, and in some measure to relieve the Inhabitants of said town from the heavy burden of making and maintaining said road, they pray the Legislature to grant a tax of three cents on all the divided land in said town of Piercy and two cents on the undivided lands in said town (public rights excepted) for the purpose of making roads and bridges in said town, under such regulations as the legislature may see fit.
ORDERED, that the petitioners be heard on their petition before the General Court on the first Tuesday of their next session, and that the petitioners cause that the substance of the petition and order of Court thereon, be published in the New-Hampshire Gazette, three weeks successively, commencing eight weeks prior to said day of hearing, that any person or persons, may then appear, and show cause, if any they have, why the prayer may not be granted. Attest, JOHN A. HARPER, Clerk of the Senate. Concord, June 18, 1805.
State of New-Hampshire. PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given, that the selectmen of Strafford have petitioned the General Court, representing that great advantages would arise from the opening of roads, in various parts of the uncultivated lands in said town, which would encourage the settlement, and increase the value thereof; and that a bridge across Connecticut river in said town, near the mills now existing, would greatly accommodate the public, as well as the inhabitants in the vicinity. Wherefore, they pray that the Legislature would grant a tax of three cents on each acre of land in said town (public rights excepted) to be appropriated to the aforesaid; one cent of which towards building said bridge, and two cents for the purpose of opening new roads and building bridges in the unselected part of the town. Ordered, That the petitioners be heard on their petition before the General Court, on the first Tuesday of their next session, and that the petitioners cause that the substance of the petition and order of Court thereon, be published in the New-Hampshire Gazette three weeks successively, commencing eight weeks prior to said hearing, that any person or persons, may then appear and show cause, if any they have, why the prayer may not be granted. Attest, JOHN A. HARPER, Clerk of the Senate. Concord, June 19, 1805.

The following short statement of facts, is a complete refutation of all the folio volumes of slander which have been vomited from the federal press, on the pusillanimity of the present administration.
From the NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
That a faction who have so long proclaimed their inveterate hostility to the present administration, should avail themselves of every opportunity to embarrass it in its operations, and destroy its popularity, is no more than might be expected; but at the same time it was presumed by many, that on some occasions American feelings would have a preponderance over those excited by the demon of faction . Unfortunately, however, this appears not to be the case. As a proof of which, witness the bare and illiberal attacks on the President, in consequence of the depredations recently committed on our commerce; and likewise in consequence of a report that our negotiation with Spain had been broken off.
Altho' the defensive measures which have been adopted by the Executive to prevent a repetition of those outrages which have been committed on our coast and in our harbors , are well known, and although the report of Mr. Munroe's leaving Madrid, without accomplishing the object of his mission, may be without foundation, still the "opposition papers" have applied the epithet pusillanimous to the administration, and have charged them with an intention to sacrifice the dearest interests of their country, in order to avoid a war, through fear that it might render them unpopular. A brief review, however, of the measures which have been pursued by the administration, as respects our external concerns, will, I trust, be sufficient to convince every candid and unprejudiced person, that so far from evincing a pusillanimous disposition, they have on all occasions supported with honor and dignity the American character .
No sooner had Mr. Jefferson been placed at the head of government, than it was determined to chastise one of the Barbary powers, who notwithstanding the tribute which had been paid him by the two former administrations, was committing depredations on our commerce with a view, no doubt, to extort a greater sum from government than was stipulated by treaty. The administration, however, nobly refused the demands of these pirates, and to the astonishment of Europe as well as to the Barbary powers, an American squadron soon made its appearance in the Mediterranean, and although accident threw one of our frigates into the hands of the Bashaw, yet our commerce in that sea has been amply protected, and we have every reason to believe from the imposing force which we now have in the Mediterranean, that this season will terminate the war, and that too in a manner worthy of our national character.
In the fall of 1802, the Spanish Intendant at New Orleans refused our citizens the right of deposit at that port, contrary to an article of the treaty of 1795. This unjustifiable act excited much agitation amongst our citizens, and although the party in opposition were for an immediate declaration of war, the President, supported by the republicans, was determined to try the effect of negotiation, before the nation were plunged into a war. The important acquisition of Louisiana is well known to have been the result of this pacific measure. Spain soon after this event began to evince an unfriendly disposition towards the United States. This probably may have proceeded from jealousy, excited by our obtaining so large and valuable a province as Louisiana, which she had so recently been obliged to recede to France, and which she always considered as the key to the Floridas and to Mexico, and which she by no means was desirous of seeing in the possession of a young and enterprising nation. Be this however as it may, it is understood that soon after the cession of Louisiana to the United States, his Catholic majesty refused to ratify the convention of 1802, and likewise disputed our right to West Florida, which our government contend is a part of Louisiana.
For the purpose of obtaining an amicable adjustment of those important points in controversy, a citizen of known patriotism, firmness and talents was deputed by the executive to the court of Spain. What has been the result of this mission is not as yet fully ascertained—if it has been unsuccessful, as is reported, let me ask with what propriety can the Executive be censured? It is not an evidence of the firmness , not only of the administration but likewise of the minister whom they selected for this negotiation, and a proof likewise that they will never abandon our just rights, however desirous they may be to preserve peace? If the negotiation has been really broken off, through the obstinacy and injustice of Spain, the Executive can do no more than represent the same to
Congress (who will assemble in a short time) and there can be no doubt but that their patriotism will induce them to make immediate provision for enforcing our claims by an appeal to arms , should the honor and dignity of the nation render such legislative interference indispensably necessary.

Federal Lamentations. —The folly of the federalists has become so diverting, that it is amusing to peruse their papers. Nothing can be done right at home or abroad under the present administration. When our prisoners were confined at Tripoli, then we heard abundance of lamentation and mourning for their unhappy fate! The government were called on to redeem them: it was said that they were prisoners of war, and therefore a price paid for them could not be considered as a tribute. But, since we have made Peace, and our unfortunate citizens are returning to their friends, we hear the most dolorous complaints, and the poor Ex-Bashaw has become the object of their sympathy! Not a word of pleasing congratulation on the release of the captives—not a word of the happy state of our country by the restoration of Peace. The Ex-Bashaw is all the cry, and even in this particular, they know that Com. Barron's letter has fully stated the propriety of our conduct towards him. When will the federalists cease their impertinence? when will they be tired paying hirelings for lying? when will they be silent, and show at least some regard for their own reputation? In every instance the President has baffled all their calumny and detraction, by every thing turning out in direct opposition to their conjectures. Heaven has peculiarly favored the administration in all their measures, and left the federalists a monument of universal detestation. Their runners go about the streets venting their malice, while their editors have become the objects of derision to every real well-wisher of American tranquility. Boff. Chron.
The exultation with which Federal printers announce any annoyance our commerce or seamen have met with, proves that they are miscreants enough to rejoice at any calamity that might befall the country, provided it tended to render unpopular the administration of men whom without any good reason, they hate, abuse, and endeavour to destroy. True American.
In looking over a single paper of Noah Webster's , printed during the " reign of Terror ," we find no less than two hundred and twenty seven appointments to the command in the standing army. What a glorious system of patronage is here! Every one of these officers, sung " Adams and Liberty ," at the head of their troops, and " screamed like vultures " for the destruction of " democracy !" Rep. Spy.

INDIA NEWS.
Official accounts of the progress of the war in India have been received to the 9th March, by the Belle packet. The substance of them is as follows:—Gen. Lake, under date Jan. 21, before Bhurtpore, states, that having made a breach, he attempted to storm the place, but found the ditch too broad and deep, as to prevent his progress. His loss on that occasion was—Total, 2 captains, 1 Capt. Lieutenant, 15 Lieutenants, 34 Serjeants, 24 Corporals, 2 Drummers, and 233 Privates. Natives 6 Subadars, 5 Jemadars, 15 Havildars, 30 Naicks, 6 Drummers, 200 Sepoys, 3 Bhowkees, 1 Tindal, 13 Lascars, and 6 Bildars.
Gen. Lake, on the 20th February, made a 4th assault on Bhurtpore, and was again repulsed owing again to the depth of water in the ditch—Our force was divided into 3 parties: one under Capt. Grant, succeeded in the service assigned to it, and captured eleven of the enemy's guns. Another under Lt. Col. Don which was to mount the breach, but unable to pass the ditch, made a most gallant but ineffectual attempt to ascend a high and steep bastion; while the third party, under Lt. Col. Taylor, was from the mistake of its guide early exposed to a destructive fire, and compelled to retreat. On the 21st February, Gen. Lake made another assault with the whole of his European force, under the command of the Hon. Brig. Gen. Monson. Our troops commenced the attack with the utmost gallantry and persevered in it for a considerable length of time, with the most determined bravery, but their utmost exertions were not sufficient to enable them to gain the top of the breach. The bastion which was the point of attack was extremely steep, the resistance opposed to them was vigorous and as our men could only mount by small parties at a time, the advantages were great on the side of the enemy. Discharges of grape, logs of wood, and pots filled with combustible materials, immediately knocked down those who were ascending, and the whole party, after being engaged in an obstinate contest for two hours, and suffering very severe loss, were obliged to relinquish the attempt, and retire to our trenches.
The aggregate of our loss before Bhurtpore, on the 9th March, the date of Lord Lake's last despatches, comprised in killed and wounded, 1 Lieut. Colonel, 2 Majors, 20 Captains, 1 Capt. Lieutenant, 45 Lieutenants, 11 Adjutants, 1 Cornet, 2 Ensigns, 1 Quarter-Master, 173 Priv. Officers, 2 d 782 privates, European—294 Natives officers, and 882 Sepoys, &c., in all 2305 men.
BY THE LAST MAILS.
YORK (Penn.) SEPT. 26.
Thursday last being the day appointed for the execution of Charles Cunningham, who had been found guilty of the murder of Joseph Rotchrock, at the last court; a large multitude of people assembled at an early hour, so that the street and road leading from the prison to the commons were nearly filled. About 11 o'clock the criminal was taken from the jail and walked to the place of execution, accompanied and supported by the Rev. Messrs. Jacob Goering and Robert Cathcart, who had constantly attended him since the time of his condemnation. It was with difficulty that a passage was opened and order preserved by several companies of militia and infantry who attended on the occasion. But neither this nor any circumstance in the least attracted the attention of the criminal, whose look seemed wholly fixed on himself, earnestly imploring the pardon of his sins, Salvation through the Redeemer, and strength from God to support him in his last trying hours. Soon after arriving at the place of execution, he addressed the surrounding spectators, and earnestly advised them against the commission of different crimes, and especially those of which he himself had been guilty, viz. gaming, swearing, lying, swearing, Sabbath breaking, and particularly drunkenness, which had brought him to this disgraceful end. He acknowledged the justice of his sentence, declared his being in peace with all men, expressed his hope of Salvation and earnestly solicited the prayers of all present. Two suitable addresses were delivered to the multitude, one by Mr. Cathcart in English, the other by Mr. Goering in German. Each of them also prayed in their respective languages. The criminal said the Lord's prayer in a very fervent manner, and after using these words, " Lord Jesus receive my Soul ," which had been previously fixed on as the signal of execution, he was launched into eternity and seemed to die without much struggle. He was only in the 19th year of his age.

Court of Enquiry. —A court of enquiry, to examine into the circumstances of the loss of the frigate Philadelphia, was held at Syracuse, on board the frigate President, June 29, 1805. General Eaton acted as Judge Advocate. Abundant evidence was offered that the striking of the ship upon the rock, was not owing to any negligence or unskillfulness of her commander; as the ship at the same time the struck was standing from the shore, and three leads had been constantly thrown for some hours previous. Abundant evidence was also given that every expedient was used to get the ship off, by endeavouring to press her stern, by running the guns astern, throwing the guns overboard, darting the water, cutting away the foremast, &c. It was clearly proved, beside, that pains were taken to prevent the ship from falling into the hands of the enemy fit for use; she was scuttled; and every thing was destroyed which could be rendered useful to the Tripolians. The result of the investigation was the honorable acquittal of Capt. Bainbridge.
A letter from an American Midshipman, who was in the army with Gen. Eaton in his march across the Libyan Desert, contains several interesting particulars. The army moved forward from the vicinity of Alexandria, with 300 well-mounted Arabs, 70 christians recruited at Alexandria, and 105 camels with the provisions and baggage. The first day's march was nearly 40 miles. In passing the deserts the army was frequently 24 hours without water, and once 47—the horses were sometimes three days without. For 450 miles neither house, tree, nor scarcely any thing green was to be seen. The troops at one time discovered a mutinous disposition, and refused to mount guard. In one place, the army encamped on a spacious plain, where there were about 500 Bedouin Arabs, all in Hamet Bashaw's interest, about 10,000 camels and 50,000 sheep. Here the army remained 5 days and refreshed themselves. On recommencing the march they took with them 37 Arab families, and 150 fighting men. All the Arabs would have joined the army if there had been a sufficiency of provisions. The army completed its march on the 16th of April, arriving at Bomba. Derne was taken on the 27th of April.
We learn, that the Trustees of the Humane Society have presented pieces of Plate to Archibald S. Dennis, John Power, and William Power, of Marblehead, masters of fishing vessels, for their extraordinary exertions in saving the crew of the longboat belonging to the ship Jupiter, which foundered on the Banks of Newfoundland, in April last.

An extract of a letter from a respectable American Gentleman now in London.
"I AM very sorry to inform you that from twenty to twenty five sail of American ships have been brought into this and the out ports of this Island, for adjudication, several of the captains of which I have conversed with: they say that when taken, they were told there was an order to capture all Americans having on board colonial produce—and according to a decision of Sir Wm. Scott, all West-India produce is colonial property, as well as much of the East-Indies; and that no transfer in time of war can make it otherwise. By the law of nations, he says, they have a right to distress and injure their enemy in any way they please. He observes, they do not injure the neutral nation by taking from them property obtained during the war, because the neutral was not suffered to trade with those colonies for the same article in time of peace: therefore the privilege we now have must be in consequence of their arms, the advantages of which they have a right to claim!—When I was in Spain, I saw the captain of the ship Eagle, which loaded and sailed from Liverpool the 20th of March bound up the Straits: She was taken and carried into Algeciras, the cargo condemned, and the captain received his freight—although it was proved to be English property. I mention this merely to shew what different constructions are given to the law of nations. Some persons here have insured against British captures, and have sued the underwriters; but as soon as the case appeared, the judge told them it was not worth while to argue the cause, for that no judge could be bound to make good any thing lost in consequence of acting contrary to the laws of his own country: so that no insurance against British captures, though made for the express purpose, is binding on any person in this country.—It is said that an order has passed forbidding the capture of any more of our vessels till November next, that we may have time for notice. But should my countrymen either now or then submit to their explanation of the law of nations, there is an end to all the benefits of neutrality. It is true I am from home, and have navigation among the English; but if a non-intercourse act should take place, let my navigation take its chance. We can certainly fight England better without guns, than any other nation can with, and perhaps we never shall have so good an opportunity as the present. It is acknowledged here by all parties, that their manufactories would be ruined, should such a thing take place in America; and if the English did not give up their pretension thus to restrict us in three months, I would be willing to forfeit all I have, the fourth month."
Advices have been received from London on our government, as late as the 9th of Aug. when our ministers had introduced to the attention of the British government the subject of recent captures of our vessels under the pretext of their being engaged in an illicit trade between the European and colonial possessions of the enemies of Great Britain. N. Int.
The depredations on our commerce, we have well known, are not to be attributed to the administration of our Government. Had the English respected their commercial regulations by a regard to our first pride of character, they would have spared us in the days of Washington. They then predicted our growing strength, and dared to arrest our prosperity, when it was supported by all our national hopes. The English in commerce do not govern themselves by the politics of parties in foreign nations. It is then ingenuous, while the facts are before our eyes, to charge that to the present, which we dared not to charge to a past administration. The opportunity still exists for Mr. Jefferson to do more than was done in former administrations. He can make a peaceable settlement, and perhaps as happy as the former one. The English perhaps suppose that such policy will have many friends in the United States, and therefore expect no other consequences. [Salem Reg.]
Tripolitan Treaty. —We understand, that independently of the articles which regulate the terms of peace with the Bashaw of Tripoli, the arrangements of the treaty are extremely favorable to the United States. The 3 former are comprised in the 1st, 2d and 3d articles, which in substance stipulate the mutual delivery of prisoners, and the payment of 60,000 dols. to the Bashaw, in consideration of the number in his hands exceeding, by the computed number of 200, those in the hands of the U. States; that the United States shall, as a consequence of the peace, withdraw their forces from the dominions of Tripoli; that they shall use the means
of persuasion to induce the brother of the Bashaw to do the like; that they will cease to furnish supplies to the subjects of Tripoli in hostility; and that the Bashaw shall deliver up to his brother his wife and children, in case of his withdrawing from the dominions of Tripoli. Nat. Int.
NEWBURGH, OCT. 8.
Few instances of shipwreck, even at sea, bring more distress (exclusive of the loss of lives) than the following instance:
Capt. Henry Brown, in the sloop Blue-Bird, a coaster between this town and Boston, returning from the latter place on Friday night last, there being a heavy swell, fortuitously got on shore, on North Point, in this river, and a heavy sea filled her. She was literally full of the most valuable merchandise in market, containing the fall and winter supply of a great number of our English goods merchants. By exertions, stimulated by the greatest anxiety, she was hauled in so near with Plumb Island, that at low tide the water left her so as to enable the people on Saturday and Sunday to effectually unload her. We have taken considerable pains to ascertain the value of her cargo; and shall speak on sure grounds when we say it amounted to between 80 and 100,000 dollars; and an intelligent merchant informs us that there will be an average loss of 40 per cent. on the whole amount, others say 25, or less.
Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1805.
Latest from England.
LONDON papers to the 28th August, have been received by the Pomona, captain Allen, who arrived at Boston on Thursday last, from which we make the following extracts.
A Continental war appeared to be maturing with strength and rapidity. Russia is said to have signed the long projected alliance with Great Britain; and little doubt existed that Austria would follow her example, immediately. Sweden is also said to have accepted the confidential alliance in which Great Britain wished to engage her. The Government of France appeared to have abandoned all hope of preserving peace with Russia: Austria, Denmark and Prussia, it is said will remain neutral: Russia, it is said to be about marching a great force to the southern frontiers of Poland, in order to co-operate with Austria. It was by this passage that the celebrated Suwarow entered Germany, in 1799. The military force of Bonaparte is stated in the official returns to amount to 480,000 men;—130,000 are said to be collected on the coast for the intended invasion of England and Ireland. The naval and military preparations in Great Britain keep pace with the increasing necessity for activity and vigor.
Intelligence had been received in England of the departure of the Combined Fleets from Ferrol, on the 13th August. No account, however, had been received of their arrival at Cadiz. A day or two after the Fleets left Ferrol, Ad. Calder appeared off there, with a squadron augmented to 20 sail of the line from Lord Cornwallis's fleet. On finding that Gravina and Villeneuve had departed, it is probable Ad. Calder sailed for Cadiz.
The Paris Monitor has commented in strong terms upon the orders lately reported to have been given to the British naval commanders, respecting the destination of American ships having on board French and Dutch property. It laments that the Northern Powers are blind to their commercial interests; and insinuates that England, thinking herself sure of Russia and Austria, has thrown aside her mask, and that it is by the Americans, she has begun the application of new pretensions.
The Season. —Owing to the very severe drought, and the extraordinary abundance of grasshoppers, towards the close of the past Summer, vegetation seemed almost at an end; and the appearance of things in this vicinity was truly dismal. In many places the corn-fields drooped; the moving lands were dried up; the pastures were almost as bare and destitute of feed as the pavements; and apprehensions were entertained that cattle must be put to hay long before the usual time, and that a scarcity of corn and hay, and indeed, vegetables generally must follow. But the late abundant and refreshing rains, and the unusually warm weather, which accompanied and immediately succeeded them, has put a new face on vegetation. Like a second Spring, the hills are again clothed with verdure; and a very considerable growth of feed appears. The crops too, in most places, will we believe, notwithstanding apprehensions to the contrary be middling; certainly better than they were last year. Potatoe fields which at the commencement of the late rains, were entirely barren, will now produce a tolerable crop. Cider is, in this neighborhood, unusually abundant. On the whole, considering the extraordinary crops of spring and winter grain, the farmer will this year be well rewarded for his labor, and the country abundantly supplied with the necessaries of life. (Amherst N. H. paper.)
PENNINGTON's extensive sugar-refinery, in Philadelphia, was destroyed by fire on the 21st ult. The loss is estimated at between 50 and 60,000 dollars.

REVIEW. —On Thursday last Maj. SPARHAWK's Battalion consisting of the Artillery, the Light Infantry, the Gilman's Blues, and four militia companies from this town, commanded by Captains WALKER, PEACE, ADAMS, and DROWNE, with the Newington company, were inspected by the Brigade Inspector, Major LONG, and reviewed by Col. WALKER, on Portsmouth Plain. Military gentlemen, who were present, express great satisfaction at the able and very handsome manner in which the review was conducted;—the evolutions and manœuvres of the battalion were performed with a military skill and correctness, that reflect the highest honor on the commanding officers.
In Holles, (N. Hampshire) Mr. Benjamin Hudson aged 21, was killed by the bursting of his gun, having rammed a wet wad excessively hard upon the charge of powder: on firing, the wad did not start, but the lower end of the barrel split, and a piece of it entered his body, near his heart. In another town, a man was killed by a Ramrod being carelessly fired on a parade!

From the Boston Chronicle.
DECEIT.
OH! that the human form should wear, Deception's garb for self;
Almighty Parent! when thy word, This nice machine began;
Why didst thou fashion forth, The various powers of man?
Why should the seeming graces join, Its natal horoscope?
Or, sober manhood e'er combine, To blast the virgin's hope?
Why she in turn, urged by Deceit, Tho' robb'd of pristine worth;
With borrow'd modesty elate, In virtue's guise walk forth?
And why should hoary age, unwear'd Truth's garland; once its own?
Or, quaint illusion stalk beneath A sanctimonious thro'?
Creative Father! tho' thy ways Seem intricate and dark;
Yet Faith's illuminated rays, Shall cheer the vital spark.
ROLLA.
SELF GOVERNMENT.
HE that is master of himself is a king. Though his body should be in prison or in chains, his mind is free, and he exercises within himself a most noble sovereignty.
Alexander, by common consent, has obtained the name of Great, because, forsooth, his sword had shed more blood than that of any other man. He was the great butcher-not of herds and flocks, but of men.
Would you obtain the honor of a conqueror? The field is open; conquer your own unruly passions and appetites, and lay those rebels prostrate at the feet of reason.
