From the Chronicle .
To JOHN ADAMS, Esq.—No. I.
SIR, IT is the duty of every citizen to examine impartially the opinions of public men. The duty arises from the reverence paid to authorities, and the pernicious consequences attendant on erroneous opinions, when advoca- ted by those, who, in my Lord Ba- con's phraseology, hold the vantage ground of society. The voice of pop- ular applause is generally guided by a sense of respect, founded on actions which have accomplished great bene- fit, or on talents which have assumed extraordinary lustre. This applause may be, and often is, misdirected. De- signing men learn well to appreciate this power of misdirection, and too of- ten controul with success the springs of inflammatory zeal. A patriotic exertion kindles the national spirit—a brilliant exploit throws a glory round the individual, which hides his failings and exaggerates his virtues—and the very errors of great minds lose their force when talents, grandeur and gra- titude have sanctioned the general char- acter. On these grounds, Sir, I have ventured to address you—without de- signating you, as that great, eloquent and patriotic character—without as- serting you as the lofty genius, who might direct the national sentiment— without advocating for you that high ambition or daring proficacy which would lead the march to power, through blood, villainy or treason—it is sufficient for my purpose, that your country has formerly given you, when your character was little understood, her first honors; and that there are still living many honest, though weak, men, who place confidence in your political sagacity. Yes—it has been unfortunately true, that your country had avowed towards you a credulity which had well nigh completed her ruin; and a confidence, which though not openly betrayed, has not been too imposing for violation and abuse. This is not singular—the time has been, when Henry was thought a statesman, and Pulteney a patriot. Time has disclosed the corruption of the one, and the folly of the other. The weak- ness of Henry was condemned and forgiven, after his death—the corrup- tion of Pulteney was abhorred in his life-time. The finger of living scorn stigmatized him, and his reputation rotted in "the hospital of invalids," the house of Lords. It is not my de- sign to draw odious comparisons. It is of little consequence to the world and less to me, whether you possess those qualities united, or a single one —whether you are weak and corrupt, or simply weak. In either case, the public have been deceived, though the triumph has been momentary. If the edifice be fallen into disgraceful ruin it is of little importance to inquire, whether it fell by the feebleness of its structure, or the rottenness of its ma- terials. It is not my design to write a history of your administration, much less of your life—no temptation would induce me to so unfruitful a task. If it were written, it could on- ly shew dangers which are past—if it were read, little interest could be ex- cited. The characters it would devel- ope, are fast passing into obscurity— an attempt to rescue them from an e- ternal sleep would be useless, if it were practicable; and impracticable if it were useful. Some writers gain im- mortality from their subject; others bestow immortality on it—hardly in- deed must be his resolution, who chooses a subject which offers neither the one or the other. Even Sallust has been blamed for wasting his talents in delineating the villainy of Cataline; & Johnson has merited censure for giv- ing a momentary elevation to char- acters, who could only be degraded by public notice. Few can aspire to the reputation of Sallust or Johnson; but humble writers should not imitate their errors. Their conduct shall be a les- son to me—I have some sense of per- sonal dignity, and should be unwilling to prostrate it in the delineation of a character, which would be at least strongly marked with inconsistency, with error, and with perversions of principles. My design therefore is simply to shew that you are, in action and principle, in DIRECT, THOUGH CONCEALED, HOSTILITY against the
Constitution of the U. States; and of this, a late Letter published by you, in- dependent of all other declaration at- tributed to you, and of all illustration too numerous in your conduct, af- fords the most plenary and incontro- vertible evidence.
I confess myself to have been among those who have admired Mr. ADAMS. His revolutionary services, his vigilance in the public councils, and his diplo- matic success, seemed worthy of na- tional honor and approbation. At that time I thought I saw in him, the inflexible supporter of political right, the intrepid advocate of liberty, and the steady denouncer of tyranny. It was natural, it was almost inevitable, to forgive, in favor of all these quali- fications those obscure, those semi-ac- knowledged preferences of monarchy and aristocracy, so deeply written on every page of the "Defence of the American Constitutions,"—a work, than which nothing can be more in- fidious; where the advocate of pre- rogative may find his triumph secured, and the votary of freedom his cause compromitted by the perfidy of a de- fence. I then believed that tergiver- sation would not disgrace the wisdom of former years; that hypocrisy would not pollute the presence of freedom; that apostasy would not blot the fair fame, which a life devoted to patriot- ic exertion had justly earned. Polit- ical corruption seemed to have been an- nihilated during the struggle for inde- pendence. In the first moments of peace the vigor of national gratitude ought not to have been repressed by jealousies and suspicions—the prin- ciple was noble; but the consequences have been dangerous. It was forgot- ten, that inordinate ambition had ev- er waged warfare with liberty and re- publicanism; and would be gratified by popular applause only, as it extend- ed the power of projecting higher schemes of aggrandizement—it was forgotten, that "family pride," would lead to a restless hatred of plebeian rights and a bold assumption of patri- cian honors—it was forgotten, that the "blushing garter," the star and the diadem were irresistible induc- ements in certain minds to an abandon- ment of virtue, principle and indepen- dence. All these things were forgot- ten, and Mr. ADAMS was conducted to the Chair of the Union.
Judge then, Sir, what must have been the surprise, the indignation and resentment of every real patriot on reading your Letter to the venerable SAMUEL ADAMS—written too only one year after the Constitution of the United States came into operation. Were I hostile to your character and person, with what vindictive delight might I ponder over its pages. Nev- er could an occasion have arisen more desirable for your adversary, or more disgraceful to yourself. It seems as if the "finger of Heaven" had mark- ed you out in these latter days, as an in- stance of infatuation for power, regard- less of consequences—of that imprudence which sometimes blasts the purpose of conspiracy, and betrays the schemes of imposture. I might here take oc- casion to remind you of the bitter sar- casm of HAMILTON, which have been hitherto denounced as falsehoods, but now seem awfully verified. It is an original merit of this singular man, to subserve the cause of freedom by his very efforts to destroy it. His sa- gacity unfolds the designs of all who are "climbing ambition's ladder," and his zeal, with all the strength of prophecy, chisels out their profligate characteristics. Dangerous by his in- fluence and talents, his ingenuousness renders them harmless. Aspiring and haughty, he suffers no rival to impede his views, and keenly investigates the claims of his competitors. He can neither be wholly respected nor des- pised—he frequently vindicates right from policy, and never wrong from cowardice. His zeal hurries him to action, and his vehemence is too ra- pid for cunning. Had he more prin- ciple he would be a statesman—had he less ambition he might be a patri- ot. In the love of power he matures his schemes—in the fury of defence he abandons them to his adversary. With a keen sense of right, he is alive to the imputation of wrong at the ve- ry moment of commission—with an im- patience of accusation, he wants the subtlety to conceal his faults, or the audacity to confront them. From him, therefore, we have often precious
confessions, that at once alarm the country and ensure its safety. Yet, Sir, though HAMILTON has accused you "of the unfortunate foibles of a vanity without bounds, and a jealousy capable of discoloring every object," "of a disgusting egotism a distem- pered jealousy and an un-governable in- discretion"—though he holds you up to public ridicule as one "who is ca- pable of being alienated from a sys- tem to which he had been attached, because it is upheld by men whom he hates." These are but inferior and private evils, which may be subjects of pity or contempt, but never of inve- ctive. I should disdain to retail the dis- gusting anecdotes of this vanity, this jealousy, this indiscretion. It may suit the purposes of a partizan, but it hard- ly merits the notice of a patriot. With the contest between you and HAM- ILTON, I have nothing to do—your mu- tual accusations of weak and profligate conduct are reports of high and trans- cendant record. But one thing they assert and prove—that you have gone hand and hand with him in those dan- gerous and impolitic measures which compromised the honor and almost the existence of our Republic. They prove that you have abandoned those principles, which elevated you to glo- ry; and that your rival was not wrong when he arraigned your imagination "as propitious neither to the regular display of sound judgment, nor to steady perseverance in a systematic plan of conduct." Your Letter to your venerable friend has taken a still wider range. It proves you hostile to our present Constitution, and of course gui- ty in the forum of conscience, of polit- ical dishonesty, hypocrisy and aposto- cy. These are high accusations, and ought to be substantiated.
It is not my design to travel through your Letter, and examine sentence by sentence to establish my positions. The crafty obscurity of some, the indistinct allusions of others and the timid qualifi- cations of the whole, are designed to shield your opinions from animadver- sion. Yet by a most unfortunate, though not uncommon effect, these very attempts at disguise completely un-mask you. I shall not dwell on verbal criticisms or the force of par- ticular expressions; but from the col- lective sense of the whole, I do unhesi- tatingly pronounce you as the AVOW- ED ADVOCATE of a Nobility with ex- clusive privileges—of a President for life, with compulsive prerogative— and as the COVERT SUPPORTER of a devolution of this executive magistracy into an hereditary channel. With these impressions, I repeat that you are guilty of dishonesty, because you have sworn to support the Constitu- tion—of hypocrisy, because you have been a pretended admirer of its demo- cratic features—of apostasy, because you once were a true, real and active patriot. Whether your "vanity," your "jealousy," your "indiscretion," or your embassy to England, have wrought these changes, I pretend not to determine. If I substantiate the charges from your own words, then will the public frown on you with hol- ly indignation—If I fail, I am willing to be silenced as a gross calumniator.
MUTIUS SCEVOLA.
By the amended Judiciary System, the U- nited States are divided into six circuits; and each of the Judges of the Supreme Court is assigned to one of them. Judge CUS- TING is in the eastern Circuit, consisting of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode- Island. In each district he is to hold a Cir- cuit Court twice a year, assisted by the Dis- trict Judge; and once a year to attend the Supreme Court, at the Seat of Government. His judicial duties are certainly not more laborious than when he was a Judge of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts; but his salary is considerably higher. There is not a Judge or a Lawyer in his circuit, who would not, unless specially disqualified, be thankful to obtain his seat, notwithstanding all the difficulties and impracticabilities described by BAYARD and Co. in Congress. Those numerous objections were the cre- atures of opposition, mere phantoms of party, which vanish before the daylight of experi- ence.—Even the far-fetched, long-laboured constitutional objection is done away, by a solemn judicial decision, in the similar case of a Court in Maryland.
The federalists as they called themselves, expected to perform wonders through the ac- cession of the virtue and talents of Callen- der—they have effected more than we ex- pected—he has done more by his enmity for the republicans than he ever could accom- plish by his attachment! He has excited a sense of shame even among the most lost of their moralists!
Republican vs. Democrat.
WHEN the federal papers use these terms in opposition to each other, they betray either a gross ignorance of etymology, or a determination to pervert in a glaring error to serve par- ticular purposes. The editors of those papers are not ignorant that republi- can and democrat are synonymous terms; that they mean exactly the same thing; that the former is de- rived from the Latin word which signi- fies a democrat, and the latter derived from the greek word which signifies a republican;—that the Republics of Rome and Greece were pure and sim- ple Democracies, though called by dif- ferent names. This is all known and perfectly understood; and yet, they labor incessantly to create a doubt in the public mind respecting the true meaning of these words. Their atten- tion in this wilful perversion of lan- guage, cannot be mistaken. If they can succeed in their plan of dividing the public opinion, they will then take care to give such a definition of the term Republican, and the term De- mocrat, as will best suit their party views.
During the administration of Mr. Adams the word Republican could seldom find a place in a federal paper unless it were to be ridiculed or repro- bated, but finding the people are not to be bullied or cheated out of their principles, the Federalists are con- strained to change their tone, and to affect Republicanism in order to recom- mend themselves to popular favour. Still however they join it to their fa- vourite federalism, in order that they may the easier drop the mask and re- sume their proper federal features when they find it convenient. De- feated in all their schemes of ambition; —in all their attempts to confound and mislead the public, they have not yet relinquished their hopes of success. They still flatter themselves that the people are a mob; a swinish multi- tude; and that by persevering in the arts of deception they shall finally gain the point they aim at. Although the people have had a pretty severe spec- imen of Federal Republicanism; al- tho' their Sedition Laws, their Stamp Acts, their Land Tax, and their high- toned party language are still fresh in the minds of the public, the simple federalists still flatter themselves with the vain hope that they will be allow- ed to act their tragic, comic farce a second time. Were it possible for them to realize their expectations, we should, soon see what kind of Repub- licanism they mean when they call themselves Federal Republicans. Vex- ed and galled by the remembrance of their late overthrow, we should soon find them taking the most effectual measures to guard against a similar disgrace. THE PEOPLE, whom they have always despised might at first be "allowed an essential share in the Government," then a small share, and lastly, no share at all; and this, they would insist upon as being true, gen- uine Republicanism. This is the kind of Republicanism which our Federal- ists are endeavouring to introduce and establish, keeping it, at present, as much as possible out of sight, while they are seriously engaged in the rid- iculous attempt of drawing a line of separation between Republicans and Democrats. If Federalism and Re- publicanism are one and the same (as they pretend) what is the reason that all the old tories without exception have ranged themselves under the banners of Federalism, tho' it is well known that they are in principle and practice opposed to Republicanism? what is the reason, that all who are in favour of monarchy and nobility prefer Federal Republicanism to any other kind of Republicanism.
We observe by the price current of Stocks signed "JOSEPH PARKIN, Stock and Exchange Broker," and dated at Boston 18th inst. that the 6 per cent. stock of the United States is rated at 102 per cent. and the 8 per cent. stock at 114 per cent. Does this not prove to demonstration that the greatest confidence in the government, actually exists in the minds of monied interest.—The pub- lic stock of Great Britain, or of any country in Europe does not bear price equivalent to ours, by one third at least, and in many cases not by one half. Let the federal op- position rail and scold, they cannot shake the credit of the United States, altho' we cannot doubt their willingness to injure the government.

Foreign Intelligence, From the latest French, English and Dutch papers.
PARIS, AUG. 1. THE Legislative Body of the Italian Republic have just sent an affectionate address to Citizen Bonaparte, First Consul of the French Republic, and President of the Italian Republic; informing him of their assembly, and intimating their readiness to receive communications. The First Consul has returned the following answer:
"I have seen, with a lively satisfaction, the union of the Legislative Body. You must in the first session form the basis of the administration. The first budget which has been presented in Italy will be presented to you. The receipts, the expenses, and the public debt, equally require a stable and uniform system."
"An object which you will prove to be not less important, is the law which will be presented to you respecting the military conscription; a National Army can alone assure to the Republic internal tranquility and external respect. A neighbouring State, which possesses neither the population nor the wealth of the Republic, has already formed an army which has often acquired glory, and placed it during a long period in the rank of considerable powers."
"The Legislative Body will not forget that the Republic ought to be the first power of Italy."
"The Legislative Body cannot better testify the truth of the sentiment which it expresses than in devoting all its efforts to the consolidation of the State, and the principles which must assure its glory and its grandeur."
BONAPARTE."
PARIS, AUG. 6, 1802. The Consuls of the Republic, on the report of the Counsellor of State, charged with all affairs relating to worship, with the advice of the Council of State, has decreed, that the Indultum for the reduction of holidays, given at Paris, April 9, 1802, shall be published without approbation of the clauses, formula, or expressions it contains. By this indultum, the Fêtes, which shall be celebrated in France, besides Sundays, shall be, The Nativity of our Saviour JESUS CHRIST—Ascension day—The Assumption of the Most Blessed Virgin—and the Fête of all Saints . All others are abolished.
PARIS, AUG. 8. The Organic Senate Consults, which has been adopted by the Senate, is the third.
By the first, dated the 13th of March last, the Senate determined the manner according to which the members of the Legislative Body should be renewed, and supplied also the silence of the Constitution in that respect; this was called a Supplementary Senate Consultus.
The second was that of the 26th of April, by which the Senate explained the 93d Article of the Constitution, relative to Emigrants. This, having for its end to conciliate the letter and the spirit of the Constitution, was an interpretation.
That of the 4th inst. combined the nature of the 1st and 2d. It is, in fact, directed towards four principal and distinct ends:
 1. It connects more closely the great authorities of the State, and the mass of the nation, from whence all national authority must necessarily be derived. For this purpose, it substitutes, instead of the system of national and departmental lists, which could not fulfil, in any respect, the object proposed by the Constitution, Assemblies of Cantons, and Electoral Colleges of Districts and Departments.  2. It organized that article of the Constitution which places the appointment of the Consuls in the hands of the Senate.  3. It gives to the Senate the attributes which are necessary, in order to invest it properly with the Conservative Power.  4. Lastly, the fourth end has been attained by the 9th title, "Of Justice and the Tribunals," which organizes the Hierarchy of the Judiciary Order, of which the influence is so necessary to preserve the property and the happiness of citizens. 
AUG. 9. Yesterday Bonaparte, First Consul, in the name of the French people, proclaimed as a law of the Republic, the Organic Senate Consults, which has been passed by the Conservative Senate. The following are the powers which the Conservative Senate has conferred on themselves and their successors:
TITLE V.—OF THE SENATE.
54. The Senate regulates, by an Organic Senate Consultus—
1st, the Constitution of the colonies.
2d, Every thing not provided for by the Constitution, and which may yet be necessary to its operation.
3d, It explains those articles of the Constitution which admit of different interpretations.
55. The Senate, by acts, entitled Senate Consults—
1st, Suspends for five years the functions of juries in the departments where that measure may be necessary.
2d, Proclaims, where circumstances require it, certain departments out of the protection of the constitution.
3d, Determines the time when the individuals arrested in virtue of the 46th article of the Constitution, are to be brought before the Tribunals, in such cases where they are not brought to trial in ten days from the period of their arrest.
4th, Annulls the judgements of the civil and criminal tribunals when dangerous to the safety of the State.
5th, Dissolves the Legislative Body and Tribunal.
6th, Appoints the Consuls.
6th, The Organic Senate Consults and Ordinary Senate Consults are deliberated upon by the Senate, on the initiative of the government.
A simple majority suffices for a Senate Consultus. Two thirds of the votes of the members present are necessary for an Organic Senate Consultus.
67. The projects of the Senate Consultus, adopted in consequence of Articles 54, 55, are discussed in a Privy Council, composed of the Consuls, two ministers, two Senators, two Counsellors of State, and two grand officers of the Legion of Honour.
At each meeting the First Consul appoints the members who are to compose the Privy Council.
58. The First Consul ratifies the treaties of peace and alliance, after taking the advice of the Privy Council. Before he promulgates them, he communicates them to the Senate.
61. In the Course of the year 11, he will proceed to the nomination of 14 citizens, to complete the number of 80 Senators, fixed by the 15th Article of the Constitution. This nomination shall be made by the Senate, on the presentation of the First Consul, who shall for that purpose select three persons from the list of citizens chosen by the Electoral Colleges.
62. The members of the Grand Council of the Legion of Honour are members of the Senate, whatever may be their age.
63. The First Consul may besides nominate to the Senate, without the previous presentation to the Electoral Colleges of the Departments, citizens distinguished for their services and their talents, on these conditions, however, that they shall be of the age required by the Constitution, and that the number of Senators shall not exceed 120.
64. The Senators may be Consuls, Ministers, Members of the Legion of Honour, Inspectors of Public Instruction, or employed on extraordinary and temporal missions.
76. The government convokes, adjourns, and prorogues the Legislative Body.
87. The First Consul has the right of pardoning. He exercises it after the deliberation of a council, composed of the grand Judge, two Ministers, two Counsellors, and two Members of the Tribunal of Cassation.
ROTTERDAM, AUG. 4. Gen. Victor, who has commanded the French troops in this Republic, has repaired to Paris, having been appointed commander in chief of the troops destined to Louisiana.
Several individuals of the French Nation, in official situations, have left this place for Paris, in order to accompany Gen. Victor to Louisiana.
We hear, that the Court of Lisbon proposes to raise a loan in Amsterdam.
LONDON, AUGUST 7.
Extract of a letter from Paris, August 1. "Trade is dead, and places of dissipation very full. Bread sells at nine-pence the four pounds; the best meat five-pence and sixpence a pound; vegetables are cheap. The whole country from Calais to Paris is in the highest state of cultivation, and produces fine crops."
Letters from Munich, mention a strange discovery which was lately been made in that city:—While a number of workmen were employed in removing the benches and wain scoting of a church belonging to a convent, that had lately been suppressed: one of them, while removing a confessional, fell through a kind of trap, into a subterraneous passage which communicated with a gallery. On examining the latter place, there were found deposited in it, a number of dead bodies, among others, that of a well known officer, who, some time back had disappeared, and who was recognized by his button, which had inscribed upon it the number of his regiment. The Electoral government immediately issued an order for apprehending the late superior of the Convent and a special commission has been appointed to inquire into this mysterious business.
An edict of a very extraordinary kind has lately been made by the Emp. of Germany. It ordains that no merchant who shall become bankrupt shall be allowed to re-commence commercial speculations if it shall be proved that the loss which his creditors have sustained exceeds eleven per cent. —What sensations would a similar edict in this country produce?
Our intelligent correspondent at Hamburg assures us, that the ratification of a new treaty of alliance between Russia and France, reached Berlin on the 12th ult. The object of this treaty, he observes, is not confined to the business of indemnities, but embraces many changes which are hereafter to be effected in the political state of Europe, and more immediately in the North and East of Germany.
HAMBURGH,
According to the official report, has 130,000 inhabitants; has become the depot of European commerce since the decline of Amsterdam. In the year 1799, the article of coffee alone, there were not less than forty-six millions of pounds, viz. from Liverpool, 10,073,000; from London, 4,568,000; from New-York, 4,181,000; from Philadelphia, 5,773,000; from Baltimore, 8,965,000; and from the 1st. and of St. Thomas, 4,162,000 pounds; the importation of sugar amounted to 23 millions of pounds, which also came chiefly from the English and Americans. The number of vessels which entered the port of Hamburg was 2,148; of which, 3 only came from Cadiz; 117 from Amsterdam; 198 from London; 80 from New-Gastle; 51 from Bordeaux; 71 from Russia; 2 from China; and 149 from the United States of America.
It is rare, perhaps singular, to find three large towns so close to each other as Hamburg, Altona and Wandsbeck; they are not merely contiguous but actually touch each other. Altona is a spacious town, carries on a considerable commerce, has a theatre, &c. Many distinguished characters, particularly literati, have chosen that city for their abode; and several persons reside there who have acted a very conspicuous part in the French revolution.
NATURAL HISTORY —The camphire tree, from which camphire is procured, grows in China; and it is said that some of the trees are above an hundred cubits in height, and so thick that twenty persons by extending their arms, cannot enclose them. The trunks of these trees, when old emit sparks of fire. The fresh branches of the tree are steeped, and camphire is prepared and made of the decoction.

BALTIMORE, SEPT. 25. Rapid Disorganization of the Human Body.
A letter to General William Shepherd, contained information, that on the night of the 16th day of March, 1802, in one of the towns of the state of Massachusetts, the body of an elderly woman evaporated and disappeared from some internal and unknown cause, in the duration of about one hour and an half. Part of the family had gone to bed, and the rest were abroad. The old woman remained awake to take care of the house. By and by one of the grandchildren came home, and discovered the floor near the hearth to be on fire. An alarm was made, a light brought, and means taken to extinguish it. While these things were doing, some singular appearances were observed on the floor near the contiguous room. There was a sort of greasy foot and ashes, with remains of a human body, and an unusual smell in the room. All the clothes were consumed, and the grand mother was missing. It was at first supposed that she had, in attempting to light her pipe of tobacco, fallen into the fire and been burned to death. But on considering how small the fire was, and that so total a consumption could scarcely have happened if there had been ten times as much, there is more reason to conclude that this is another case of that spontaneous decomposition of the human body, of which there are several instances on record. It is to be regretted that the particulars have not been more carefully noted.

NEW-YORK, SEPT. 22.
The fate of Turkey, by the intelligence under the London and Paris heads, appears rapidly approaching towards a crisis. France, Austria and Russia, seem heartily disposed to dismember the Ottoman Empire. The partition is, in all probability only deferred, until these arbiters of the world decide respecting their respective shares. It will not be at all surprising, should Bonaparte, after availing himself of the services of Russia and Austria, act the part of the Lyon in the fable, and appropriate to himself the whole of the spoil. I claim Egypt, he may say, as my heritage—Greece from veneration for its classic fame, and Turkey, in Asia, as necessary to my future projects.
Rhode-Island has two delegates in the federal house of Representatives. In the last session of Congress one of them (General Stanton) was republican, the other (Mr. Tillinghast) a federalist. When Mr. Tillinghast was elected he was thought to be favorable to the republican cause; in Congress, however, he proved unfaithful to it, and attached himself to the federal side of the house. At the election which is just closed Rhode-Island has chosen General Stanton, dismissed Mr. Tillinghast and elected Mr. Nehemiah Knight, a republican, to supply his place in Congress. So that both the representatives of Rhode-Island are now decided republicans.
This state progresses rapidly in republican sentiments. The state Senate consists of ten persons, of whom eight are republicans, and two federalists. Two thirds of the assembly are republicans.
The two federal representatives were chosen at the late election by two thirds of the suffrages of the state, Rhode-Island deserves honorable mention.
We have heard nothing precise of the election in N. Hampshire. It is however probable that the federal candidate for Congress will be successful. The election is warmly contested. Republicanism notwithstanding federal success, increases in New-Hampshire beyond example. A few years since the number of republican votes given in that state were indeed few. We now find that it requires all the arts of the federalists, such as Dr. Morfe's ship Ocean story, the arrival of the French fleet in our harbours to levy contributions upon us, &c. &c. &c. to enable them to prevail over their republican opponents. There is every reason to believe that in one year the state of New-Hampshire will be completely republicanized. And considering the very low state of federalism at present, it is almost a pity to take that state from federal hands. Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New-Hampshire, are the only states in the Union the federalists can boast of. The other THIRTEEN are republican. Republicanism seems not only to be a Hercules, but follows his example, federalism is almost driven out of the Union. In the pathetic language of Mr. Coleman, we may say, addressing ourselves to federalism. "Alas! foul spirit! No!" Twelve years of profound imposture could not secure to a footing in the country! Like a vagabond thou art wandering from place to place in the hope of escaping justice; but soon or late thou wilt inevitably be overtaken. Massachusetts cannot bear thee long, and Connecticut is throwing thee from her stomach as the most deadly and loathsome food. (Baltimore American.)
The strength of parties in Rhode-Island may be shewn in few words. Our Governor and Lieut. Governor are republicans.
Eight of our state Senators are republicans. More than two thirds, of our state Representatives are republicans. The former chosen last spring, the latter, last month. Both the republican candidates for the next Congress in, by two thirds of the votes of the freemen.—The feds have two state Senators, and nearly one third of the House of Representatives. R. I.

Retract of a letter from William E. Hulings, Esq. American vice consul at New-Orleans, dated 20th June, 1802.
"I have had the good fortune to introduce the vaccine into this city, and although rather late (the small pox having carried off several hundred persons) I hope to save the lives of many yet to be born."
"I have vaccinated about thirty five persons with complete success, and have made it known that I will perform that operation to all that present themselves, gratis."
"The physicians of this place have generally adopted it, until there are no more subjects."
The following notice has been published by the American Consul at London.
AMERICAN CONSULATE, LONDON, July 19th, 1802.
To all masters of American vessels, and other American citizens.
Official information having been received, that the emperor of Morocco has declared war against the United States; all American vessels bound to the Mediterranean are desired to rendezvous in the bay of Cadiz, from whence they will from time to time receive convoy from the squadron of commodore Morris, now on that station. GEORGE W. ERVING.
BOSTON, OCT. 2.
From Europe.
An arrival at New-York has furnished London dates to the 19th August, which is a few days later than has been received.
The English and French governments have formally disavowed all knowledge of any attempts to dismember the Ottoman Empire.
The ceremony of proclaiming Bonaparte Consul for life, which took place at Paris, the 2d and 4th August, equalled anything of the kind ever exhibited under the French monarchy. The procession comprised an advanced guard of dragoons, a corps of Trompetters, a detachment of cavalry, peace-officers, a band of music, a detachment of dragoons, the Staff of Pioneers, the Chiefs of Foreign Service, a detachment of Gendarmes, preceded by its trumpets, the Commissaries of Police, a band of music, the superior military officers, the Secretary-General of the Prefecture of Police, the Counsellor of State, Prefect of Police, six peace-officers, and a rear-guard of the National Gendarmes. In this order they proceeded to fifteen points of the city, at each of which the proclamation was made.
OF ALGIERS.
Since the capture of a Portuguese frigate by an Algerine 44 gun ship, the Dey of that Regency, has exhibited an uncommon degree of hauteur towards all the Christian consuls in his dominions; and has threatened hostilities against all the worshippers of the Cross, unless they augment their tributes to him. Spain, it is said, has complied with the demand of this Petty Tyrant, and has consented to pay him two millions of dollars. Bonaparte pursues a different policy, and is fitting out a squadron, from Toulon to chastise his insolence. We most sincerely wish him success. How it stands with the other powers we have not learnt. Mr. O'Brien, (our late Consul at Algiers, who is now succeeded by Mr. Cathcart, late Consul at Tripoli) thinks it not improbable that in an unguarded moment, the Dey will declare war against the United States, or demand beaucoup d'Argent .
From the declarations of federalists, persons not well acquainted with the political state of our country, might be induced to believe that the existence of the government depended upon them—that they are the exclusive friends of law and order—and that general Washington was one of the leading characters in opposition to republicans, and the promoter of their views. Let us examine this subject.—Let us ask, from what part of the life of general Washington can it be said he was opposed to republicanism?—Was it in the convention?—Was it in the nomination of Mr. Monroe as ambassador to France?—Was it in the appointment of Mr. Jefferson as secretary of state? In his aid in the cause of the French republic?—Or in his respect for the militia, and his enmity to a public debt?—Can federalists say that in those things, they supported the Washington system, or that republicans were opposed to it?—In what instance, therefore, excepting in the British treaty, was not Washington supported by the whigs of 1776, and the republicans of the present time? And yet the committee of Mercer's dare to say, that the republicans were inimical to Washington and his system. The people must discover that the sacred name of Washington, has been made use of by the profane pen of these committee-men, to deceive the people, and to promote factious purposes. They must believe, that such men as these, bringing the name of our late illustrious chief, into an electioneering handbill, can have no great respect either for his memory, or his principles—but are anxious to make use of it as a spell, whereby they may induce many to believe, as Porcupine did before them, that Washington was a federalist, and opposed to the principles of republicanism. As republicans and admirers of the virtues and services of Washington, we feel contempt at those who would deceive the people, by disturbing his ashes, to promote the base views and unworthy designs of an intriguing faction.
Tree of Liberty.
Portsmouth.
TUESDAY, OCT. 5, 1802.
THE late changes in the powers of the Conservative Senate, and of the Executive Power, in France, make no impression on the public mind in this country.
That the canon and feudal systems are in duff and ashes in that immense republic; that all hereditary power is abolished; that family distinctions are levelled—and that, in fine, there is no distinction but of merit and services performed in the course of the revolution, is certain beyond even a doubt.
That the ancient hierarchy is humbled, and the papal power stripped of all its supernatural attributes, and even of its intolerance and authority, are facts which neither impudence nor ignorance can contradict.
That the soil of France is owned by the people, and that the rights of primogeniture and all entailments of châtels are buried, never to rise again, is a glorious, an immortal truth.
That every citizen is a soldier, and every soldier a citizen, is another trait which marks the infinite difference between a subject and citizen. But, it may be asked, are all these blessings a full recompence for the treasure expended and the blood shed in the cause of equal laws, equal rights and equal justice? We have no hesitation in saying, they are not—and we believe, that by the force of First Principles, Bonaparte himself must bow to the National Will—and either soon abandon the unnecessary power he has contrived to unite in his own person, or prepare to descend from his elevated station to the rank of a private citizen. When the first blush of national sensibility is off, the good sense and common interest of the cultivators and landholders in France, as is the case in the U. States, must and will govern.
It is not national aggrandizement, but individual happiness, which is and will be the great object of a philosophical and enlightened Republican. That government which can preserve the public peace, and promote internal prosperity, is strong enough. National glory, in its vulgar sense, is the dream of a madman—of Attila, of Alexander, of Charles the XIIth. Point out the country where the greatest number enjoy in peace and plenty the fruits of their labour, and you will see a happy people. That is the present condition of the inhabitants of this country—without taxes to grind them, or unnecessary efforts to gratify the idle and unprincipled, the Republicans of North America, may view with their own fruition, and compare it with pleasure, with that of any other people on the face of the terrestrial globe.
COMMUNICATIONS.
OUR great and good President, Mr. Jefferson, under the unmerited abuse and scurrility discharged at him in the weekly publications of Tory newspapers, the fewers of moral filth, conscious of his own integrity, may with propriety adopt the following lines of a celebrated poet,
"To virtue and her friends only, a friend, The world beside may murmur & complain, Know, all the distant din that Tories keep, Rolls o'er my grotto, and but sooths my sleep."
There is a pleasure in reasoning with men whose minds are open to conviction, and who wish to know the truth, but to reason with men who, disappointed of lucrative offices, or of carrying into effect a plan for enslaving their country, and whose determination, against the fullest evidence is,
What I have laid, I'll say again, And what I say, I will maintain, Would be equally vain, as to reason with a whirlwind, or the cataract of Niagara, to stop their impetuosity. It is then better to keep ourselves solemly-minded, and to leave them to that being who is able to subdue all things to himself.—Actions speak louder than words. The steady, uniform regard Mr. Jefferson has shown in the whole of his conduct, from the beginning of the American revolution, will in the opinion of the impartial and disinterested, vindicate him against the pointless shafts of malice, and disappointed ambition, far better than the most pompous panegyrics.
Historical Scrap.
THESE proceedings for the advancement of learning and knowledge alarmed the ignorant and illiterate monks, inasmuch that they declaimed from the pulpit that there was a new language discovered called Greek , of which people should beware, since it was that which produced all the heresies. That in this language was come forth a book called the New-Testament , which was now in every body's hands, and was full of thorns and briars. That there was also another language now started up, which they called Hebrew , and that they who learned it were turned Hebrews —Here in England, the great Erasmus tells us, his publishing the New-Testament in its original language met with a great deal of clamour and opposition; that one College in the university of Cambridge in particular, forbid the use of it, &c.—Accordingly the Vicar of Croydon in Surrey, is said to have expressed himself to the following effect, in a sermon which he preached at Paul's Cross, about this time; "W must root out printing, or printing will root out us."
Among the many dye stuffs to be found in this country, is to be reckoned the bark of the lombardy poplar. We have in our possession a piece of silk dyed from the white, and sent us by the gentleman who made the experiment. It is a beautiful straw colour, and little apprehension can be entertained of its fading.

The Anti-Republican Ticket for Mem- bers to the next Congress, for this State, we have been chosen by a majority of about 1500 votes, on an average. —We have not received an official statement since the votes have been counted.
For the N. H. Gazette.
Messrs. PEIRCE'S, WHAT a rancour there is among the Jacobins* of the present day about Federal Men and Federal Measures ! A great noise indeed about new Candidates for the next Congress; And I see, Messrs. Printers, notwithstanding I am an origin of Maine, that your New-Hampshire folks, with to change and dictate to us our Federal Re- presentatives ; We have now an excellent Man, that fills with honor to himself and State, our representation in the third Eastern District; and why should we wish to change him?
Fellow-Citizens, be not deceived by the subtle arts of a designing Lordly Junto . But be united again to a man; and give your suffrages for our present worthy Representative, RICHARD CUTTS , Esq. he will watch over your liberties, and guard you from the encroachments of your ENEMIES .
The Voice of Many.
* By Jacobins, I mean the opposers of the present Federal Administration .
The Tories very fortunately are in every respect the opposite of the repub- licans —the latter are generally less active than they ought to be—and suf- fer only from that cause—while the former are always over-doing their own projects in the attempt to undo the prin- ciples of the republicans.
If the Boston Centinel should be at a loss for authority to sustain the “ lex- icographical meaning of Whig and Tory in the dictionary of the Amer- ican language ,” he may apply for a definition of Whig to Samuel Adams —and Dr. Morse furnishes that of Tory — this mode of definition is superior to any lexicographical etymology, for the men will furnish both the meaning and exemplification in their lives, con- duct, and principles.
The Legion of Honor is now organized in France, and a decree has been published dividing the Republic into 16 parts, in each of which there is to be a company of the Legion. When this institution was or- iginally proposed, it was easy to see that it was designed by the Chief Con- sul to be a means of supporting his au- thority. By the mode in which it is form- ed it will have the whole weight and conse- quence of a military nobility, and by being thus generally diffused over the department of the Republic, its general influence will be more strongly felt among the great body of the people.

“No less than forty millions of people die of the Small Pox every century. The Europeans have carried the Small Pox over the globe. The Danes carried it to Green- land, and the Spaniards to South America where one hundred thousand perished with it in the single province of Quito. When the annual number of births in London was sixteen thousand two hundred and ninety one, the number who died with the Small Pox was two thousand five hundred and fi- fty four, and still greater in some other large cities of Europe. A greater number have died of the Small Pox since the introduction of its inoculation than before it, that prac- tice being the means of keeping it always in large cities.”

TO HIM I MOST ESTEEM.
YON little Cot, so neat and white, By woodbine half conceal'd from sight, Where the old elm excludes the light, Of Phœbus' noonide beam. With wealth enough to keep us free, From the cold grip of poverty, Would more than palace be to me, With him I most esteem.
Or was you lofty mansion mine, Where art and nature, both combine, To make it elegantly fine, What joy in the extreme.
(Possessed of all that's rich or rare, With boundless wealth, & free from care) 'Twould be the envied lot to share With him I most esteem.
But whiten'd cot, nor woodbine bower, Nor lofty dome, nor hall, nor tower; Nor boundless wealth, possesse the power, To cheer life's languid dream.
Nor joy, nor peace, they could impart, Unless I know the blissful art, To win, and ever hold the heart, Of him I most esteem.

How soon my dear young friend, with a right sense of what is really a sufficiency teach you to smile at the bound- less desires of ambition, the idle pomp of greatness, and the superfluous wants of an inordinate fancy! If you can but once have that command over your passions, either for dress, diversions, or all the et ceteras in the catalogue of juvenile desires, as to say unto them, "Thus far shall ye go, and no farther;" then will you acquire all that is most to be desired; a serenity undistur- bed by imaginary wants, a peace, which pass- eth all the tumults of fortune and giddiness of fancy; a philosophy built upon the soul's conviction, and strengthened by the ennob- ling sentiments of Christianity.
Wedley.
ALPHONSO, King of Arragon, says, that to make a marriage happy, the husband should be deaf, and the wife blind; that he should not hear the reproaches of his wife, nor she the errors of her hus- band.
A gentleman in company with a fine la- dy, could not forbear telling her, that she was wondrous handsome. "Sir," says the lady, "I thank you for your good opinion, and with all my heart I could say as much for you too." "Why so you might Madam," says the gentleman, if you made no more conscience of a lie than I do."
A gentleman's wife having purchased a raven, one of her neighbors asked her how she thought of buying such an ugly, useless bird? "My husband and I," replied she, "wished to try the experiment, whether it be true, that ravens live to the age of 7 or 800 years."
A Federalist from Trenton was election- eering in Monmouth last fall. Among others he accosted a respectable Old Whig, and began his arguments and persuasions to vote the Federal Ticket. The citizen listened with great attention. When done, he ac- knowledged he did not understand the party terms of the day; but if Mr. Federalist would tell him on which side the Old To- rics were, he should know which party was right, for the Old Tories always had been, and he believed always would be, wrong.— Mr. Federalist flank silently away.
Singular coincidence of names and professions.
A house in Philadelphia was occupied by three families—Wood, Ash, and Birch. The landlord's name is Bird. Wood is a carpenter; Ash a turner; Birch a school- master; and Bird a musician.
REMARKABLE!
The wife of Pinchas Mags, of Stanfard (N. York) was, last week, brought to bed with four daughters—The children, though brought into the world alive, lived but a few hours. It is supposed that their birth was premature. (Poughkeepsie pap.)
A Norwich paper says that one kernel of rye in that town produced 127 heads con- taining 6350 kernels the present season.
AT a time when the pretty song of "Shepherds, I have lost my Love, Have you seen my Anna?"
was sung by every Chambermaid, some Wit eager to satyrize the Grecian style of Dress, then introducing by the Ladies, wrote a di- verting Parody, which began
"Lovers I have lost my waist, Have you seen my body?"
As the ladies now discard all dress, ex- cept a kind of long chemise, we present them with the following parody; and sincerely hope, that it may persuade them, as the Win- ter approaches, to purchase more flannel, and fewer muslins.
Doctors, I have lost my health, Where, O where's my vigor? No faithless Swain, no act of health, Reduc'd me to this figure. Plump and rosy was my face, And graceful was my form, 'Till fashion deem'd it a disgrace, To keep my body warm. I sacrificed to modesty whim, (What Belle can e'er forsake it?) To make myself general and slim, I strip myself most naked. And naked though I must remain, 'Till fashion weds with reason; God grant they may united reign, Before the frosty season.
