OTEZ! OTEZ! OTEZ!
WHEN the attention of the public is solicited by the author of a recent discovery, and in declaiming on its virtues he becomes the panegyrist of his own merits, he will naturally incur the imputation of vanity; but it is not impossible that with such a defect, more noble qualities may be united. "Instead, therefore, of judging liberally respecting the motives of those who make themselves the heroes of their own tale, ought we not rather to encourage individuals of active and cultivated minds, to present us with the details of their professional progress, with the fruits of their experience, and with the results of their matured reflections."
DENNISON'S
Improved Jaundica Bitters;
OR THE GRAND ANTIBILOUS CORRECTIVE. The Jaundice is discovered by want of appetite, costiveness, dullness and oppression, at times an irresistible propensity for sleep, and at others, too great watchfulness, a yellowish hue by degrees diffused over the complexion, tinges the urine, and the whole mass of the fluids are infected with bilious secretions, and in process of time the blood acquires a tendency to dissolution and putrefaction; in these cases it either degenerates into a dropsy or ends in an apoplexy.
They are particularly serviceable in habitual costiveness, and in an oppressed and weak stomach. They are gratefully warm and pungently aromatic; excel wind in the easiest manner, without immoderately heating or inflaming the bowels; they are extremely serviceable in all fevers, but in the course of my practice I have proved them particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bilious habits experience such a total loss of appetite, listlessness and oppression; in such instances, by the application of this remedy the stomach is invariably fortified, appetite and digestion effectually promoted, and plentiful perspiration produced. Being peculiarly adapted to cleanse the urinary passages, they are singularly serviceable in dropsies, by giving tone to the solids, enriching the blood, and invigorating the whole system. From their celebrity as an antidote against the scurvy, they are particularly calculated for seafaring persons, to whose attention they are respectfully recommended. Persons leading sedentary inactive lives, are most subject to these complaints. All, therefore, in such situations, though not immediately aware of inconveniences, would act wisely by securing a continuance of health, by means of this generous stomachic, as well as all epicures and bon vivants who will for a delicious and delicate preparation for the appetite, the best companion at the festive board.
** These Bitters are sold by the sole agent, at No. 48, Newbury-Street, corner of Winter-Street, Boston, N.

Political Miscellany.
FEDERALISM.
The subjoined letter in printed form was received on Friday through the medium of the post-office.
Mr. Hatheway is a lawyer of distinction at Rome—Immediately preceding the election of 1804, when Burr was the federal candidate for Governor, Mr. Hatheway, who until that time had been a federalist, abandoned his party and published his reasons at great length. He did not, however, as it now appears, publish the letter of Griswold, which was one of his reasons.
G. Griswold is now, and was I believe when he wrote the letter, a member of congress: he is a federalist.—Amer. Citizen.
Federalism unmasked.—It is with the deepest regret that I submit to the public an extract of a letter, which has remained with me for three years, as secret as death itself; and would have so remained forever; did not the good of our country demand, that a PLOT, which threatened its existence, should be exposed to public view. Under these impressions, all considerations of private confidence must be laid aside. Plots, against a legal existing administration, mild and pacific in its measures, are obnoxious in the extreme, and not to be countenanced or concealed for a moment; neither would this have been, had not hopes been entertained that the Plot would fail, while the revengeful spirit which concerted the same would die away, and that occasion would not require its being made known. But when I call to mind the regular system which has been pursued by federalists and Burr,
from the time of his election to the office of Vice-President down to the present moment—taking into view their efforts to make him President—then these Plots (herein disclosed) to make him Governor of the state of New-York—then of late as we have seen this same Burr in our Capitol, flush with money, plotting the subversion of our government and boasting a connexion with our "first blood"—then seeing him in the heart of our country, enlisting soldiers, raising armies, preparing an armament, building a fleet—and in all this having the good wishes of our federalists, and no doubt supplied with their money; when we see this same man arraigned before courts and juries, and by them acquitted; when we hear the tongue of every federalist excusing him, and calumniating our executive for his energetic measures against Burr—taking all these things into view, they irresistibly force a conviction on the mind, that a PLOT has long since been laid by the federalists and Burr—and has been, and is to be pursued to the last extremity, if nothing short will subvert our present administration.—They also irresistibly force a conviction on the mind, that I shall stand inexcusable to my country, if I withheld any information which would tend to develop this HORRIBLE COMBINATION! If my conviction, in a full view of the premises, is not well founded, I shall receive that censure from the hands of the public, which the disclosure of a confidential letter merits. In the event of this publication, should the same spirit of federal revenge, which in the extract is breathed forth against the administration, be turned against me; and should the federal darts, poisoned with corruption as they are, assail me from every quarter, I may perhaps fall a victim. They may kill me, but this publication they cannot kill. This vile—this odious—this unprincipled PLOT will live, when the existence of all who are concerned in it are at an end. It was this which decided my politics. It was this which caused me to declare to the federalists of the county of Oneida—"Here I halt—I can proceed with you no further." The extract is from a letter written by a member of Congress. J. HATHEWAY. Rome, Oneida county, April 23, 1807.
EXTRACT.
Washington, Feb. 27, 1804.
"The movements of Burr disturbs the quiet of their souls—he will shake the very centre of their conclave. You may rest assured my good fellow, that if our friends will but play true, Burr will chastise these usurpers of power with a rod they deserve—he is no more one of their party, tho' for certain purposes must so appear: rely upon this as true. He is the only person who can chastise these fellows—and policy dictates our unity to give him a support: all our friends in this city have the same opinion—all the Judges of the Supreme Court are united with us in this opinion. It is a matter of great surprise among our federal friends here how Hamilton can take so imprudent a part. Report says H—n made a long speech in favor of LANSING and against BURR. I fear his personal resentment to Burr, and not policy, governs his conduct. All our federal friends now in this city are looking up with anxiety to the election in New-York, their only hopes are founded on the success of Burr—tho' this should not be known to any but real friends. What have we to expect from Lansing? he is nominated by Clinton and Spencer, and their creatures—he must and will be their tool. The old Governor is to be Vice-President, and will be united to the great mammoth of Democracy by ties too strong to be broken. We can do nothing of ourselves against the mighty torrent—shall we not then rather join the enemy of our enemy than the enemy of Burr and us, both? Think well of this question!!"
"G. GRISWOLD."
Russia is the most barbarous—Prussia the most atheistical—and England the most oppressive and bloody government in modern Europe—yet these governments are the favorites of our federalists,—for these they pray, they write, and would willingly embroil their country in war. From such allies may Providence in its mercy long preserve us!
Trenton Amer.

The British government is the most stupendous fabric of human wisdom." This opinion of the late President of the United States, is taken as a truth and a text by the federal editors throughout the Union: and many a column of comment and eulogy upon it has disgraced American prints. How often has it been unblushingly held up to admiration at the expence of truth and our republican maxims and institutions?
Cullen, the worthy successor of Cob-bet, has, on every possible occasion, praised and applauded it; and left his declarations of attachment should be doubted, he has lately published "that no worldly advantage could induce him to take the oath" renouncing his allegiance to the British government, because "no sophistry could convince him that his taking it would not be unparadonable guilt in the eyes of God!"
I call the attention of the deluded, but well meaning, of the federal party, to the picture which this devoted slave of aristocracy, this Cullen himself, exhibits of this so much eulogised government of Britain. Let it never be forgotten—for it is a solemn truth, that the governors of England are the administration for the time being, and that that administration always is, and from the nature of things must be composed of whatever men can command a majority of votes in the parliament; in a word, it is an oligarchy. Hear the character which Cullen gives of the new administration: the men composing the present government of Great Britain.
"With the exception of the Duke of Portland, there is not one of those names who is not signal either for his weakness, worthlessness, or corruption. In a word, this new cabinet is made up of all that was bad, without an atom of what was good of the old administration."
Yet these are the men, and this is the government to which freemen are instructed to look as the model of all that is excellent, all that is praiseworthy in government, in law, or in policy. These are the beings to whom Tories look up with awe and admiration—these are the creatures from whose altars the incense of tory adulation is forever ascending.
Apprehensive that the character already sketched is not sufficiently strongly marked, he thus closes his remarks—"They (the administration) are but mere drudges of office, without virtue, without honor, without efficacy." [Democratic Press.]
From the Trenton True American. The principles of Democracy, or the government in which the people exercise the supreme authority, are denounced by Monarchists and Aristocrats as "new fangled doctrines." ALGERNON SIDNEY, who was sentenced to death by the infamous Jeffries, and executed by the minions of Charles the Second, held these principles, maintained them in a manner which put all the champions of Monarchy at defiance, and sealed his love of them with his blood. A principle count in his indictment, was for having asserted in his writings that the power of Government was originally in the people—that it was but delegated by them to their rulers—that those rulers were accountable to the People for their use of this power, &c. —MILTON, possessed and advocated the same principles.
The sentence pronounced by Jeffries is so characteristic of the worst of savage barbarity of Kings and their creatures, and their hellish spirit of revenge against those who endeavor to restore to the People their just rights, liberties, and happiness, that we cannot decline copying it—
Sentence of Jeffries on Col. SIDNEY. "That you be carried hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence you shall be drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, where you shall be hanged by the neck, and being alive, cut down; your privy members shall be cut off and burned before your face; your head severed from your body, and your body divided into four quarters; and they to be disposed at the pleasure of the king, &c."
SIDNEY's behavior on receiving this horrid sentence, was such as a Republican's ought always to be—firm, inflexible, and consistent. His sentiments were those of a true and a faithful patriot. When the sentence was delivered he exclaimed—"Then, O God! O God I beseech the to sanctify these sufferings unto me, and impute not my blood to the country, nor the city through which I am to be drawn: let no inquisition be made for it; but if any, and the shedding of blood that is innocent must be revenged, let the weight of it fall upon those that maliciously persecute me for righteousness sake."
L. C. J. Jeffries—"I pray God work in you a temper fit to go into the other world, for I see you are not fit for this."
Col. Sidney—"My Lord, feel my
"never was in better temper than I am now."
SIDNEY was not less determined in his principles after his condemnation, than before. He introduced his "Apology," which was written in prison, with the following paragraph:
"Being ready to die under an accusation of many crimes, I thought fit to leave this as a testimony unto the world, that, as I had from my youth endeavored to uphold the common rights of mankind, the laws of this land, and the Protestant religion, against corrupt principles, arbitrary power and Popery, I do now willingly lay down my life for the same; and having a sure witness within me, that God doth absolve me and uphold me in the utmost extremities, am very little solicitous though man doth condemn me."
BY THE MAILS.
Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, April 30. Melancholy Accident.—Two Girls, one 9, the other 13 years of age, were drowned in attempting to cross a creek, on a log, a few days since in Frankstown settlement. They were daughters of a German, recently settled in that neighborhood, who witnessed the distressing scene and made every effort, but in vain, to save his children from a watery grave. On Sunday the 19th inst. James En-trikin, Esq. of this County, had an Ark sunk in the Conewago falls, a little below Middletown.—1000 bushels of Wheat were entirely lost, and two of the hands drowned; one, a Pilot from Middletown, the other Andrew M'Afee, from the Raystown Branch. We understand several other persons have been drowned in descending the Susquehanna this spring.
From the Peterboro' (Madison County,) Freeholder.
Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman, in the town of Madison, to the printer hereof, dated April 30th, 1807.
"A very humiliating event took place in this town last week, the circumstances of which I transmit to you for publication, in order as far as possible to prevent the circulation of erroneous reports relative thereto—they are as follows:
"On Sunday evening the 5th ult. the wife of Alpheus Hitchcock died very suddenly (as report said) under the operation of an emetic—on Monday following, her remains were interred in the public burying ground, after a condoling and appropriate sermon by the Rev. Mr. Snow. In the course of two or three of the succeeding days, reports began to be whispered of suspicion prevailing with some, that her husband was accessory to her death; this induced an enquiry of the masonic body (of which he is a member) into the more minute circumstances, which were so unfavorable to his innocence, that a messenger was dispatched on Thursday, to Cazenovia, for a coroner—in the mean time he was arrested on a peace warrant. On Friday a jury of inquest were summoned upon the body, which was taken up and inspected. His acknowledgment was, that he had administered an emetic (which had been left by his family physician in the house at some former time) in compliance with her request—that he had been ill for four or five days—that he was particularly opposed to having a physician called, but that while she was under the operation of the emetic he did call a physician, who arrived, however, not until after her death. He also acknowledged, that on the same day, as he was out breaking the roads (for they were blocked up by the snow that fell the preceding week) he called at a neighboring druggist's shop and purchased half an ounce of arsenic as he said, to destroy the rats with which his house was infested, and that since the death of his wife he had made use of a part for that purpose.
On an examination of other witnesses it appeared that there had a coldness existed between him and his wife, for a considerable time—that his acknowledgment was in some measure, inconsistent with itself, and the testimony of others. I would further remark, that on an examination of the stomach of the deceased, there were appearances of some inflammation, and yellowish white earthy or mineral powder found mixed with the fluid and adhering to the coats of the stomach; this fluid is preserved for chemical tests—no positive proof of his guilt appeared on the examination, but there were such a concurrence of circumstances against him, that on Saturday afternoon the jury returned a verdict of WILFUL MURDER, by the said Alpheus Hitchcock, her husband.
"I ought not in justice to the jury and citizens at large, omit to remark, that thro' the whole of the development of this melancholy affair, the most earnest solicitude was manifested in every countenance, while the utmost candour and delicacy of conduct prevailed through the whole.
"The verdict was unanimous with the jury, and the citizens, though assembled in multitudes to hear it, expressed no signs of disapprobation or censure. Dr. Hitchcock has resided three years in this town, and supported the character of an honest, upright man, and a good citizen; He was committed to gaol [Whitcomb] on Sunday for trial at the oyer and terminer."
NEW-YORK MAY 6.
Captain Edwards, of the ship Sampson, has favored the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a file of Calcutta and Madras papers to the 21st of January. They afford nothing new. Capt. E. informs us that while he lay at Madras Admiral Sir Edward Pellew arrived there in the Culloden from Batavia, having been into the harbour a second time with a British Squadron, and burnt, run aground, and destroyed six Dutch vessels of war of different sizes.
There was a great scarcity of rice at Madras. The government had offered 110 star pagodas the garce, if
Lieutenant Collins, of the British frigate Terpsichore, who in the month of September last in the town of Madras, killed an American seaman belonging to the barque Harper, Capt. Lander, of Salem, was tried at Madras in the following month on a charge of murder. The jury found him guilty of manslaughter, only, and he was punished by fine and an imprisonment of two months. The day after his release Admiral Sir Thomas Trowbridge put him on board the Blenheim as first lieutenant.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
Our London and Liverpool papers by the brig Bedford are to the 28th of March. The vessel left the rock on the third of April.
In these papers, says the N. Y. Mer. Adv. we have no official advices from the French armies later than the 64th bulletin, which has already appeared in the Mercantile Advertiser. Private letters from the neighborhood of the seat of war state that the Russians, subsequent to the battle of Eylau, had received reinforcements to the number of 60,000 men, and had obtained important victories over the French, who were transferring their headquarters to Berlin. The communication between Stettin and Thorn was said to be cut of; and that several corps of French troops, amongst them a considerable part of Oudinot's division, worn down by famine and fatigue, were reported to have laid down their arms, or gone over to the Russians. The most memorable actions are said to have taken place at, or near Brunberg on the 26th, 27th, 28th, and 29th of Feb.
The Russian head quarters were at Heilperg, in East Prussia, near which place the French are said to have left, after one engagement, nearly fifteen thousand dead on the field, and that Gen. Lefebvre with 6000 men were taken prisoners. The Russians were about to receive two additional reinforcements of 80,000 men each, under the command of the Grand Duke Constantine!!! [Very improbable.]
A letter from Berlin, of the 15th of March, inserted in the Hamburg papers, is silent as to any battles having been fought; but mentions that the head quarters, and the Emperor Napoleon, remained at Osterode on the 8th.
The Porte has declared war against England in consequence (as it is said) of a prompt declaration of Admiral Louis, that unless the Grand Seigneur would consent to renew the ancient treaty with Russia and Great Britain, he would approach Constantinople and lay it in ashes. "The Divan, in the height of its infatuation (says one of our London papers) could not have taken a more decided step to accelerate the downfall of the Ottoman Empire."
The roll of the new administration of England was inspected and approved by the King on the 24th; but they had not all entered upon the duties of their office on the 27th. The old administration, as we informed our readers some days ago, refused to resign voluntarily. Their seals of office were, therefore, not surrendered but at the express command of his majesty. Lord Erskine was to hold the great seal until the first of April, at the king's request, that he might pronounce judgment on several Chancery causes which were about to be decided.
The following persons are a part of the new administration, and had received their seals of office:
Earl Westmoreland, Lord Privy Seal. Duke of Portland, First Lord of the Treasury. Lord Hawkesbury, Secretary of State for the Home Department. Mr. Canning, Secretary of State for the Foreign Department. Viscount Castlereagh, Secretary of State for the War and Colonial Department. Earl Elgin, Lord Lieutenant of Fife-shire. Earl of Selkirk, Lord Lieutenant of Kirkcudbright Shire. Earl Camden, President of the Council. Lord Mulgrave, First Lord of the Admiralty. Mr. R. S. Dundas, President of the Board of Control. Earl Chichester, one of the Post Masters General. Earl Bathurst, President of the Board of Trade, and Master of the Mint. Lord Charles Somerset and Mr. Long, Joint Paymasters of the Forces. Marquis of Titchfield, one of the Lords of the Treasury. Lord Lovaine, a Member of the Board of Control.
The new ministry have had a trial of strength in the commons, and on an interesting question (a resolution brought in to abolish the grants of offices in reversion) were left in a minority of 93. A dissolution of parliament was, therefore, considered as inevitable, to enable ministers to obtain a house more complying than the present.

The Emperor is to go there in person, and the object of the meeting is, from the tenor of the proclamation, to settle the different pretensions of the states, and to secure the prosperity of that kingdom and its internal parts, in conformity to his promise at the conclusion of his last peace with Bonapart.—[Official.]
[Does this look like an intention of renewing hostilities with France? on the contrary all the movements of the Austrian troops flew a greater disposition to guard against the irruptions of the Russians in Hungary, than a design to militate against the French again.]
The news that 60,000 Servians had joined the Russians against the Turks is very improbable, as a treaty of peace had been concluded between the Synod of the Bebel Province of Servia, headed by the famous insurgent Zcerni George, and the Ottoman Porte, on the 2d of Jan. and the fame had been formally published in said month throughout the province.
Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1807.
By an article in the last Enquirer, we are furnished with a report that Mr. Erskine, the British minister near the United States, has been recalled; and that an express had been sent to Hampton Roads to stop the Wasp, now on her way to England. By 'recalled' it is presumed Mr. Erskine is superseded by another minister.
Should this prove correct, we may expect another Linton, ready to subserve the abominable interests of his court, by the most wicked and abandoned exertions of a corrupt minister.
We recollect the corruption of Blount, our American senator—we have fresh in our memory the number of hireling editors, who were settled in different parts of the union, and who received an annual stipend out of the secret service money of Great Britain. These and other melancholy facts, afford a painful retrospect of the holliholly of the British court; and its recollection should awaken the attention of the American people to the dangers which may result to the United States, from this rumoured change of the British embassy.
[Peterburg Repub.]
New-York Election.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of first respectability in New York to his friend in this city, dated May 8th, 1807
"I have now the pleasure of informing you, that we have achieved a glorious victory—a republican governor, lieutenant governor, senate and assembly. The struggle was the most animated ever known. The federalists came out in all their strength, and they were reinforced by all the traitors and apostates from republicanism. It is needless to inform that we had to combat great talents, wealth, and influence; and our antagonists contended like the army of Catiline, every man fell with his face towards the enemy, and occupied the ground he possessed at the commencement of the action. I consider this as a death blow to federalism in this state; and some of them now say, that nothing but a foreign war will restore them to power. We have also thrown off all the faithless, unprincipled men of the republican party, and have now a sanum corpus in politics." [Aurora.]
A few months since when the New York Junto succeeded in the choice of Charter Officers, we ascribed it more to cunning and intrigue than to a fair expression of the public will, and we are now confirmed in our conjectures. Although Coleman and his brother editors raised a hue and cry about the interference of foreigners and 'United Irishmen,' it now appears that nearly four hundred Scotch Royalists were naturalized to assist the "glorious" cause of federalism—negroes too—crowds of negroes were hurried to the poll, and even drawn in carriages by their independent, noble minded patrons, who "never stoop to lead about the people." What a sample of federal "wealth, talents and religion"! What noble pillars of the federal fabric are these gentry of "rank, education and talents"! Alas! poor federalism, how vain were all thy efforts! They terminated only in the prostration of thy party and thy "KING." [National Legis.]
The federalists seem inclined to employ negro slaves as drudges in their service. Nothing could be more proper. Slaves only should labor in the cause of slavery. Black faces may be as beneficial as black coats. [ib.]
The Connecticut Election has again terminated in favor of federalism. Republicans have however increased and federalists decreased. The progress of truth in that benighted land, though slow, we trust is sure. If we consider the obstacles that oppose it; the detestable tyranny of the Connecticut Pharisees, and the dirty artifices of a guilty Junto to pervert the public mind, instead of wondering that Republicans advance no faster, we should be astonished that they advance at all. We confidently hope that our Sifter State will not much longer delay to
of her indignation upon the infamous disciples of toryism that now triumph in the power which their base tricks only have maintained. [Ibid.]
The murder of young Austin, and the acquittal of the murderer, had undoubtedly some effect upon the Massachusetts election. The People must discover that the cause which requires such means to uphold it, cannot be a good one.
FIRE.—On Friday, 8th inst. in New York, seven dwelling-houses, and one stable (all of wood) were destroyed by fire; with most of their contents, in Greenwich street. Mr. Alex. M'Kinzie, in whose house the fire originated, was the principal sufferer—The fire spread with great rapidity—A Mr. Perry was so much injured by the fire, that it is not expected he will recover;—and Dr. Dayton was considerably injured by jumping from a second story window.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Norfolk, dated April 26, to a mercantile house in this city.
"A dreadful accident took place this morning between 1 and 2 o'clock. The ship Betty, captain Treadwell, belonging to your city took fire, supposed to be from a candle left in the steerage, and was entirely consumed with her cargo of wheat, flour and tobacco, on freight, little of which it is supposed can be saved. She was on the eve of sailing I believe for Liverpool, and was a very fine ship."
On the 29th of April, a hail storm was felt in the upper part of Baltimore county, Maryland, at noon. The wind was first from the S. W. then Northerly. The hail for some time was small, but afterwards the stones cohered and fell in large masses.—Several of them measured above a foot in circumference, and one weighed six ounces.
The Blessing of peace and plenty.
While Europe is deluged in blood, this happy country is enjoying the most perfect tranquility, and an unexampled abundance pervades the union, especially in the great wheat country from Virginia to New-York, inclusive, flour is now only 5 1-2 dollars in Alexandria, and 6 1-2 in New-York, and such are the immense quantities of wheat afloat and in the stores on the North River, that it was estimated on the breaking up of the ice last week, that near one million and a half of bushels of grain would soon be at market. Though Pennsylvania cannot boast of as large quantities of wheat for exportation as her sister states afford, the shipments of flour from this port will equal if not exceed by far either Baltimore or New-York, and our store houses now unable to contain the accumulating quantity of this article, exhibit a gratifying evidence of the superiority of our city in the great staff of life. It is only to be regretted amidst such overflowing abundance that good foreign markets should be wanting to consume, and shippers to carry off our vast surplus produce. [Phil. Print.]
The quantity of British goods imported into the United States for a few months past exceeds all former example. Various causes are ascribed for this occurrence; but there are two very obvious—that the decree of blockade in Europe has had its effect here, and rendered it necessary to find a market somewhere. Another cause is, that many people who possess such sagacity as is attributed to rats, are quitting the ship before it links.
The number of Carding Machines, erected in the state of Pennsylvania, within two years, is really surprising; and the quantity of Wool carded, spun, dyed, and woven into Coating, exceeds every calculation that has been made for years past.
POSTSCRIPT.
From the N. Y. Gazette of Thursday last.
Latest from France.
By the brig Alonzo from Bordeaux, we, at a late hour received the 65th and 66th Bulletins of the French Army. The former is dated Osterode, the 10th, and the latter, the 14th of March.
After a hasty perusal of them, we find, that nothing but skirmishes between the advanced posts had taken place, since the last accounts.
The 66th Bulletin represents the grand army as still enjoying repose in encampments, and only states frequent skirmishes as having taken place between the outposts of both armies.
On Tuesday evening was married a Mr. George Miller, widower, to a Miss Ruffel, both of this city, and this morning the bridegroom arose, went to the church yard and there shot himself with a pistol upon the grave of his former wife.

GAZETTE MARINE LIST.
Portsmouth, May 19, 1807. Captain Benner, arrived at Philadelphia, from Amsterdam, informs that about the first of March last, there was such a heavy gale of wind from the N. E. and so on, at Amsterdam, that it was supposed there was more damage done there than the blowing up of the city of Leyden, for all the vessels that lay abreast of the town, and all the small craft and other vessels that lay inside of the boom were mostly destroyed. The flood gates were also burst open and did a great deal of damage to the ware houses. About that time the brig Washington, capt. Wilton, of Baltimore, was lost upon the north side of Texel Island, crew saved—they lost every thing but what they had on their backs.
Arrived at New-York, May 5, sch'r Pearl, Faries, from Nassau, New-Providence.—Came passengers, Capt. Prattman, and part of the crew of brig Jane & Eliza, of New-York, wrecked on the northwest point of Eleuthera, on the 19th April, vessel totally lost, small part of the cargo saved and brought to Nassau by the brig Brother. Capt. Fisher, who rescued Capt. Prattman from the brutality of the inhabitants, who had plundered him of his wearing apparel and other articles. Capt. Edward Swain, of the brig Peace of Newburyport, wrecked on the Cat Keys on her passage from Havana to Philadelphia, with a valuable cargo of coffee, logwood and sugar, which was chiefly lost. The captain and crew were on the wreck 6 days. The remaining part of the different crews that with difficulty saved their lives at the time of shipwreck, were impressed by Lieut. Boys, of his Britannic Majesty's sch'r Decovener, who very informally, on the application of the respective captains for their release, refused to give them up, and further declared, that he intended to impress two men out of each crew belonging to Charleston vessels, and one out of every four belonging to any American ship. The packet sch'r Gabriel Duval, Capt. Watts, was totally lost on Green Turtle Key, on the 19th April—Crew saved.
A dangerous reef has lately been discovered to the N. of Gaspere Island: It is in lat. 1, 56 3/4, or 57, S. median altitude of sun; appeared to be small, in two clumps, not extending more than 80 fathoms, S.E. by E. and N.W. by N. and about 15 or 20 fath. broad.
Will be exhibited this EVENING at the Bell Tavern in this town, Various FEATS OF
Tumbling, in a very surprising manner—For particular, see bills. May 19.

To an Infant Sleeping.
Sweet Baby Boy, thy soft cheek glows, An emblem of the living rose! Thy breath a zephyr seems to rise, And placid are thy half-clos'd eyes! And silent is thy snowy breast, Which gently heaves in transient rest; And dreaming is thy infant brain Of pleasure, undisturb'd by pain! Soon shall thy youth to forrow rise, And tears shall dim those half-clos'd eyes; And storms shall fade that living rose, And keen unkindness wound reprove! Soon will thy slumbers painful be, And thou wilt watch, and weep, like me, And thou wilt shrink, with fear agast, From wild misfortune's chilling blast! Ah! then no more in balmy sleep Shalt thou be fond her garland sleep; No more shall visions, sweetly gay, Sport in the coming beams of day! No more thy downy pillow be A pillow Boy, of down to thee! For many a thorn, shall ruthlessly care In envious rancour scatter there. Sweet Baby Boy! then sleep a while, For youth will never wake to smile. Time flings its poisons round the bed While manhood lays its weary head; The summer day of life will low'r, As long poor Boy, as winter's hour, Unless the pilot Fortune brings The magic of her Golden Wings.
FRANKLIN.
The following is a copy of an original letter from the venerable Franklin, to a minister of a church in the south part of New Jersey, which has been recently discovered there among some old family papers. It is a composition perfectly in the manner and spirit of that great and worthy man.
Philadelphia, June 6th, 1753. DEAR SIR,
I received your kind letter of the 2d inst. and am glad to hear that you increase in strength—I hope you will continue mending, until you recover your former health and firmness.—Let me know whether you still use the cold bath, and what effect it has.
As to the kindness you mention, I wish it could have been of more service to you; but if it had, the only thanks I should desire, are that you would always be ready to serve any other person that may need your assistance; and to let good offices go round; for mankind are all of a family. For my own part, when I am employed in serving others, I do not look upon myself conferring favors, but as paying debts. In my travels and since my settlement, I have received much kindness from men, to whom I shall never have an opportunity of making the least direct return; and numberless mercies from God, who is infinitely above being benefited by our services. These kindnesses from men, I can, therefore, only return to their fellow men; and I can only shew my gratitude to God by a readiness to help his other children, and my brethren, for I do not think that thanks and compliments, though repeated weekly, can discharge our real obligations to each other, and much less to our creator.
You will see, in this my notion of good works, that I am far from expecting to merit heaven by them. By heaven we understand a state of happiness, infinite in degree and eternal in duration. I can do nothing to deserve such a reward. He that for giving a draught of water to a thirsty person should expect to be paid with a good plantation, would be modest in his demands compared with those, who think they deserve heaven for the little good they do on earth. Even the most imperfect pleasures we enjoy in this world, are rather from God's goodness than our merit; how much more so the happiness of heaven? For my own part, I have not the vanity to think I deserve it, the folly to expect it, nor the ambition to desire it, but content myself in submitting to the disposal of that God who made me, (who has hitherto preferred and blessed me, and in whose fatherly goodness I may confide) that he will never make me miserable, and that the affliction I may at any time suffer, may tend to my benefit.
The faith you mention has doubtless its use in the world. I do not desire to see it diminished, nor would I desire to lessen it in any man; but I wish it were more productive of good works than I have generally seen it. I mean real good works, works of kindness, charity, mercy and public spirit; not holiday keeping, sermon hearing or reading, performing church ceremonies, or making long prayers filled with flatteries and compliments, despised even by wise men and much less capable of pleasing the Deity.
The worship of God is a duty, the hearing and reading may be useful, but if men rest in hearing and praying as too many do, it is as if the tree should value itself on being watered and putting forth leaves, though it never produced any fruit.
Your good master thought much less of these outward appearances than
many of his modern disciples. He preferred the doers of the word to the hearers ; the son that seemingly refused to obey his father and yet performed his commands, to him that professed his readiness, but neglected the work; the heretical but charitable Samaritan to the uncharitable but orthodox priest and sanctified Levite. And those who give food to the hungry, and drink to the thirsty, and raiment to the naked, entertainment to the stranger, relief to the sick, &c. though they never heard of his name, he declares shall in the last day be accepted; when those who cry Lord! Lord! who value themselves on their faith, though great enough to perform miracles, but have neglected good works, shall be rejected.—He professed that he came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance, which implied his modest opinion, that there were some in his time so good that they need not hear even him for improvement. But now-a-days we have scarcely a little parson, that does not think it the duty of every man within his reach to fit under his petty ministration, and that whoever omits this offence God—I wish to such more humility and to you health and firmness.
Being your friend and servant, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
