Political Miscellany.
From the POLITICAL OBSERVATORY.
More Politics Hammered out.
ANY man of candor, who has become well acquainted with our political disputes, may justly challenge the annals and histories of all nations and ages for a parallel of what has recently transpired in the United States. The oceans of calumny, the billows of falsehood, which have incessantly lashed against the solid rock of truth, it is believed, were never equalled; but that rock resting on its own base immovable, bids the proud waves of that mighty deep, unheeded, roll.—If all which has been spoken, written and published, were compiled into volumes, I suppose the world itself could not contain the books. Heaven, earth & hell have been ransacked to furnish matter to support a system of the most horrid injustice.
And sad to tell, many of the sacred desks, from whence the honest mind, and religious people have expected to hear the truths of the glorious gospel dispensed, have been prostituted and converted into theatres of political deception. The allies of the
great sage of Mount Vernon have been lifted over and over, and that good man repeatedly brought up from the shades to substantiate the reverse of what were his most uniform and avowed principles while living. The letter, which contains his acceptance of the command of the standing army, has frequently been published to manifest his approbation of Mr. Adams's administration. Possibly he might approve of some things done by Mr. Adams—and who did not? but to suppose his full knowledge of and consent to the ultimate design and intention of that administration, is altogether inadmissible.
Had Gen. Washington been infinite in knowledge, he would of course have been immortal: if so, he would now be here to speak for himself and to confound the enemies of his country. As a mortal man, it is not derogatory to his dignity to suppose that he might, like other men, be liable to mistakes and unintended errors. We find him, in one of his ancient letters, opposing the independence of the United States, and honestly asserting that the colonies could not subsist separate from Great Britain. But independence was achieved and we have subsisted, which proves a degree of erring reason in that great man.
All who have indulged themselves in bigotry are earnestly requested to divest themselves of prejudice, and the uninformed to strive to obtain information, and beware of an implicit faith; to this end, let them observe well the mutations of the monarchical advocates—how when their foundation grows weak they suddenly change their ground, and generally for a still weaker: so they shift from pillar to post to save themselves from that gulph of disgrace into which they are rapidly sinking. It would require volumes in folio to contain all their inconsistency and vague suggestions. I shall only mention one or two; and tho' but simple when compared with many others, yet are sufficient to convince the candid and unbiaised. The steady republicans long sustained from their enemies the character of disorganizers, till the evidences of the contrary became too glaring any longer to be resisted. We then see them at one remove pushed from disorganizers to the most zealous friends of the most energetic or despotic government, as in the case of the government provided for Louisiana. Again, when the false idea of French influence was lost, and the evidence of truth appeared, strengthened by time, viz. that nothing was wanted of the French but peace and a good correspondence, and when a stratagem was wanted for a disunion of the states,—we then see the republicans, by the virtue of hocus-pocus, at once transformed from Frenchmen to Virginians, and Virginia influence substituted in lieu of French philosophy.
Ye farmers, who constitute the natural republicans of our country, consider well these interesting subjects—look for yourselves and remember that when you have bestowed the utmost of your skill and labours in tilling your land and of course expect great profits, yet if you neglect your fences your crops are lost. And even if you build up your fences, yet if unruly cattle are suffered, to run at large, you must exercise watchfulness, or suffer loss.—The application is easy, our republican government will always demand our most assiduous watchfulness and circumspection, since our monarchists and aristocrats are infinitely more dangerous animals than the most unruly cattle that ever were suffered to run at large. And if we should ever discover that Mr. Jefferson harbors or keeps any of those mischievous creatures, much more if he becomes one himself, we will throw both him and them into the same group with Mr. Adams & Co. and deposit them all together in a "hole," whence they shall not come out, till in some proper way they shall manifest a due submission to the sovereign people, farmers and mechanics.
The writer anticipates the period, and hopes it is at no great distance, when all political alterations shall cease, and harmony prevail. He is not a lover of contention, but sincerely wishes to live in good understanding with all men. When, however, he sees the natural rights and liberties of his country assailed and in jeopardy, by those internal enemies whose mouths are as an open sepulchre,
whose feet are swift to shed blood and who have been long plotting the degradation and ruin of their fellow creatures, in so important a cause, he will readily wield his pen and strive to defeat them. And, if civil and peaceful means prove ineffectual, he will once more at the call of his country, should necessity require, have recourse to the last alternative.
And wield with skill his dire avenging
sword,
Whose steel, blade a horrid circle cuts. His talk has ever been addressed to the plain—the honest—the deluded. To reclaim the leaders of the faction, he never will attempt, until he is endowed with power from on high to tread on serpents, cast out devils and work miracles.
THE OLD SOLDIER.
Westmoreland, Dec. 1, 1804.
From the Salem Register.
The acquisitions in the mineral kingdom by the cession of Louisiana, lead us to make comparisons of the resources which we obtain. The lead mines of Louisiana are the first riches which are reported to us, as under Spanish discovery, and as profitable from the labour of Spanish subjects. We may compare these mines of Louisiana, with those of Spain, in Europe. Lead mines, according to a late account, are numerous in France and Spain. They are easily found, and the ore is sold to the potters without any labour to fit it for use. In Spain some of their mines are explored at the expence of the King, and some of them by individuals, who have not the privilege of a free sale, but deliver it to the government at a fixed price. Lead, sulphur and salt are mineral productions, of which the government reserves the exclusive sale. It derives a fifth from the lead, but a less proportion from the substance sold to the potters. The best lead mines in Spain are those of Linares, in the province of Jaen. In these it has been found in cubes of 200,000 feet and the cubes yield from 60 to 80 pounds of lead a quintal. But not an ounce of silver in a quintal is obtained.—Mr. Bowles says, that 5000 places are open, in which the digging has been made. Mr. Hoppenback says, that no pumps are used but in the royal mines. Some mines are found in the mountain of Raza, in Granada. These have yielded from August 1757 to 1786, 54,000 quintals.—Those of Canjagar, 87,000 quintals. The company of Guadalcanal have near Constantia, a lead mine, which yields 3 ounces of silver a quintal.—In the mountain of Gador, the mines have been neglected, excepting six in Higuera, which are worked by men unassisted, and from 1784 to 1785, they have produced 2400 quintals of lead, and 1675 for the potters, called alquifoux. Many persons are at work near Morrill, and six mines have yielded from 1774 to 1785, 6330 quintals of lead. Mines of lead were formerly worked in Murcia. The few now worked near Murcia, yielded in 11 years 20,950 quintals of lead only, and from 1784 on the frontiers of France, in Poza, to 1787, 622 quintals, which gave 56 per cent. of lead.—Since 1775 three mines have been opened in Burgot, from which in 1787, 1250 quintals of lead had been taken. In the Pyrenees, near Bietza, from 1748 to 1782, 3650 quintals.—In Guipuscoa according to Muthoon, the ore had half its weight of metal, and gave three ounces of silver in every quintal. In many other places lead is found. In the mines of Louisiana it is found that the mineral will yield 60 to 70 per cent. and a man with his pike and his shovel may make his 30, 40 and sometimes his 100 dollars per month. It is probable, that the quantity of silver after proper experiments will be found equal to any in the European mines.
It is worthy of remark, that the Essex Junto find fault with every transaction of the Federal Government: if a man declines a public office, then the President is abused, and if he accepts, then the person nominated is calumniated for officiating in his office! The fact is, that the Junto will never be easy till they can monopolize all emoluments, and will ever find fault when an appointment takes place, which in some measure checks their arrogance.
The barking of a few hirelings, who have neither property nor character, will be treated with that contempt their impertinence merits.—Chron.

BY THE LAST MAILS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.
We learn through a channel deserving confidence, that Capt. Lewis was on the 19th of August, 850 miles up the Missouri, that he had met with no accident and had been received in a very friendly way by all the Indians. It is expected he will winter 1300 miles up the river among the Mandan Indians about lat. 48.
Advices, we understand, have been received from the Mediterranean by an arrival at Norfolk from Gibraltar, which state that Commodore Barron was off Tripoli on the 28th of September; that nothing of importance had occurred subsequently to the events described by Mr. O'Brien, and that the Gun Boats had returned to Messina.
"Further accounts have been received from our squadron off Tripoli. The fire-ship, which, we supposed, had taken fire accidentally, was blown up intentionally by the crew. Two Tripolitan gun boats were so near as to endanger the capture of the fire-ship, and, rather than be taken and to be defeated in their design, the crew heroically blew up the ship, and blew themselves and the Tripolitan gun boats into atoms."
"This act and the bombardment of the town of Tripoli by our squadron, so terrified and dismayed the barbarians, that they abandoned the town and fled into the country; and, had only two hundred men landed, the town and the bashaw's castle might have been sacked and reduced to ashes. The prospect of obtaining our own terms grows daily more flattering, and in a short time we may expect to hear that a secure, and honorable treaty has been made, by means of our cannon, and the heroism of our countrymen." (Aurora.)
FREDERICKSBURGH, JAN. 3.
Yesterday forenoon, the negroes belonging to William Fitzhugh, Esq. at his farm opposite this town, made an attempt to murder their overseer. It appears he had lately taken the management of this estate—when he ordered them to execute some business on the plantation they refused to comply; he was proceeding to correct them for disobedience, when they rose up and had well nigh dispatched him; luckily a party of gentlemen from Falmouth who had been apprised of their design, happening to come up at the time, attempted to rescue the overseer and perhaps to apprehend the negroes; one of them caught up an axe and was advancing to attack one of the gentlemen, he was fired upon and killed on the spot, another severely wounded; a third made his way good to this town, and as he was about to be apprehended, he ran to the river and got on the ice, which was very thin, and had got about the middle, he broke through and was drowned.
It is since said the overseer is not dead, but it is said he will recover. We may have erred in stating some of the particulars, but we can assure our readers they are literally true.
LOUISVILLE, DEC. 6.
Astonishing Fecundity.
A gentleman from Marietta informs that just before he left that place, he saw a gentleman of undoubted veracity, who had gone 20 miles out of his route to see a family from Massachusetts lately settled on the Muskingum, consisting of Twenty-four Sons, all produced at Twelve Births from one Woman!! It is added, that a petition will be presented to the state of Ohio at their next session, to grant each member of this extraordinary family one hundred acres of land.
Communicated by a gentleman lately arrived from the Cape of Good Hope.
The government at the Cape of Good Hope, on hearing by sundry European arrivals, to the latter end of September, that the British were preparing an expedition against that country, immediately took the necessary measures to put it in the best state of defence.
All the British residing in the colony, amounting to about two hundred, were ordered to Skellenbosch, a village about 30 English miles from the Cape-town, to remain there, till further orders, under the superintendence of a military commissary.—All the inhabitants of the Cape-town, married and unmarried from the age of 16 to 45, were put in requisition for the military service and were obliged, every two days, to perform duty. The Governor and General in Chief, J. W. Janssens, with an army of about 4000 men, regulars and auxiliaries, were encamped on an elevated position, near the main road, at a place called Liefbeck River, distant about three English miles from town; among his troops he had about 600 horsemen, and his whole force, including the mi-
litia, and some Hottentot and Malay corps, amounted to near 7000 men. The cattle, provisions, and all what may be useful to the enemy, were to be removed from the coast into the country, as soon as the necessary measures for that purpose could be taken.—Signal posts were erected to give notice of the approach of the British. It is expected from the General's known military talents, and from his intrepidity, that the British will not find it very easy to conquer that country while under his command. Governor Janssens resided at the Cape—R. G. Van Polanen, Esq. the President of the Council, formerly Minister Resident of the Batavian Republic, near the United States, resided at the Cape, and acted as Governor in town.
Advices from Tranquebar State, that Paolo Pinang, in the Straits of Malacca, had surrendered to the Dutch forces under Admiral Hartfink and at the same time, several English Indianmen had been taken.
A squadron of British ships of war and frigates, were cruising off the Mauritius, waiting, as it was said, for the return of the French Admiral, Linois. Pol. Register.
Extract of a letter from Tunis, dated 20th August, 1804.
"Naples, inspired by our daring acts, continues to annoy this coast. I learn (and the intelligence may be relied on, though we cannot give the detail) that the Tunisian squadron has been separated and attacked in different stations by their enemy. Three Tunisian galleys, on board of which were nearly 700 men, made an attack upon a Neapolitan frigate: one it is said was sunk and the other two captured; part of the action was seen from Mount Ras Jebel, near Porto Farino and Bona, and a number of dead bodies have since floated on shore. We have also accounts of four other corsairs being captured by the Neapolitans. A frigate is cruising between Porto Farino and Bona."
"His Catholic Majesty's regalia arrived on the 18th inst. to wit: two Xebecs, mounting 30 pieces of cannon each, 70,000 dollars in cash, regalia for the Sapatapa, with the usual Consular present."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Washington to his friend in New-York, dated December 21, 1804.
"A few days since I had the pleasure of examining the Plan and view of New Orleans and its vicinity, together with the Map of Louisiana, which proves to me that it is a country worthy the attention of the U. STATES. They are suspended in the Senate Chamber, and command a great number of Spectators."
"The above works are both original, by an artist of that country, who I am informed was Geographer and Engineer to the Spanish Government. The President, Secretaries, and many of the Members of both Houses have sanctioned them, after a minute inspection, and all who have seen them agree that they are chef d'œuvres rare to be met with. I understand he is proceeding eastward to procure subscribers; I hope he will receive from our enlightened citizens that encouragement which talents and education assuredly deserve."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman, to his friend in Petersburg, dated
"Norfolk, Dec. 19, 1804.
An accident perhaps of the most singular nature that ever occurred, took place last evening at a ball where I was, with a number of young gentlemen.—Mr. CARVER, a particular acquaintance of mine, in the very act of dancing a reel, fell dead! Not one minute before, he was in as high spirits as I ever saw him. It may be ascribed to a sudden fit, and in the fall, I presume (which was very severe) either stoop his breath, or fractured his skull. He went off without a struggle."
From the National Register.
Judge Chase.—Having once expressed decided disapprobation of attempts made by the opposition, to influence the public mind against the men who have accused, and those who are to set in judgment on Mr. Chase, we should be guilty of gross inconsistency, did we not explicitly disclaim all intention to raise a prejudice against him.—Yet a duty not less urgent than the preservation of impartiality in our Courts of Law or of Impeachment, impels us to preserve an equilibrium of feeling on the subject of the trial.—Continual and outrageous attempts having been made in Federal papers, to irritate the people against the High Court of Impeachment and the Grand Inquest of the People,—it is fair to rebut their efforts, and make a partial sacrifice of that delicacy, which we vainly expect from our opponents.
It will be observed, that the Court of impeachment have granted Mr. Chase a respite to prepare for his defence, on his affidavit, that he was not prepared and should not be during
the session. It will be remembered, when the articles were first found, and ordered to be printed, Mr. Chase prepared and published a paper, in which he complained that time was given for the public to examine those Articles, before he had an opportunity to reply to them. He then feared that a bias would be raised; and declared that he was ready for his defence.—Now, it seems, he needs nearly a year to prepare himself in,—and is willing, nay, wishes, that the articles should have their effect on the feelings of the people for all this time. On such gross inconsistency, it were useless to comment.
After all the abuse which has been lavished on the gentlemen, who bro't forward the enquiry, and the majority of the Senate, we shall be pardoned for mentioning a fact, which has recently come to light, by a discussion in the "Enquirer," a very excellent Richmond print. It seems by the annexed certificate, from a very respectable gentleman and a member of the Executive Council of Virginia, that Mr. Chase undertook in the trial of CALLENDER, so far to overstep the duties of his office, as to interfere in the formation of the Jury!!
"In the May session of the federal Circuit Court for the middle district of Virginia, in 1800, held at the capital in the city of Richmond, when Judge Chase presided—I visited the Judge at his chambers, in the house of a Mr. Crouch, on the subject of an injunction, for a Mr. Gordon vs. Mr. Smith of Baltimore; and during a conversation with the Judge on this subject, Mr. David M. Randolph, the Marshal of Virginia at that time, slept in, with a paper in his hand. The Judge instantly accepted him, by asking what it was he had in his hand—Mr. Randolph replied, it was the panel of the petit jurors summoned for the trial of James T. Callender.—The Judge then emphatically said, "have you any of those people or creatures called Democrats on that list or panel?" Mr. R. hesitated for a moment, and then replied that he did not know; he had not made the discrimination, or words to that import. "Then," said the Judge, "look again, and if you have, strike them all off."—To this the subscriber will depose.

Lawyers vs Law.—It has become a great calamity in this Commonwealth, that some Lawyers are suffered to take exorbitant sums of money from the people over and above what the law allows them for their fees. Instances so frequently occur of their taking 4, and even 8 dollars, where the law provides they shall receive but 95 and 190 cents—that it is astonishing some person has not attempted a remedy to this growing evil—the fact can be proved if necessary.

FOR THE GAZETTE.
To the Citizens of N. Hampshire.
AN important day, to you, is approaching. The swift fleeting moments will soon bring you to an hour of the last consequence,—the choice of a first Magistrate, and other important officers. It is high time for you to decide in your minds, whether you would assent to, or dissent from the horrid scheme agitating by the party opposed to our republican government, for dividing the States, and erecting in New England a civil and ecclesiastical tyranny. To this inhuman purpose, it is well known, (& you, Fellow Citizens ought to know,) that all the manouevres of the federal party are directed; which, should it prevail, all our great hopes of political happiness must be defeated.—The great the benevolent work of Washington and his republican friends will be destroyed.—Washington, who never was, (all federal institutions notwithstanding,) a friend to or an encourager of those principles, which tend to dissolve our local connection, and introduce a government planned by the wife and sagacious Adams, Hamilton and other natural enemies to those principles of liberty on which our government is founded.—The friend of this government throughout the Union, with you on the approaching election, to harmonize in the choice of the man, for your first magistrate, who has been invariably the friend of this state and the general government. The Hon. JOHN LANGDON is well known, throughout the United States, as such a friend. Your own experience and discernment must effectually convince you, Fellow Citizens, of the great disparity of sentiments which subsist between this gentleman, and the present chief magistrate of N. Hampshire, who appears to be a decided, incorrigible opposer of the genuine principles of Republicanism. Think Fellow Citizens decide, and die for yourselves.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1805.
Fellow-Citizens of New-Hampshire,
YOU have been often called upon to pay due attention to the all-important interests of your country; and we are happy to find the solemn call has not been in vain to a large majority of the citizens of this State. Yet the times still require an unceasing exertion, since the enemies of our present government are in perpetual action to introduce one, arbitrary and insulting to the feelings, views and sentiments of the great mass of the people of the United States. Our Constitution was formed by the people. The federalists would reverse this just and righteous system, agreed upon by the wisest of men that were ever assembled in consultation, to promote the great interests of humanity. They would exalt the Legislature above the people, and render the sovereignty of the latter subservient to the former, with as absolute a power as that of the long Parliament in England, in the time of its interregnum —and thence establish a firm and invincible aristocracy, to the total subjection of the people.
Be then on your guard. Venerate yourselves—support your sovereignty with that magnanimous firmness which procured you your Independence; nor suffer a power inimical to your hard-earned freedom any longer to take the lead in the administration of your government.
Republican Ticket.
AT a Convention, held at Concord, consisting of a majority of both branches of the Legislature, it was unanimously resolved that the following should be the REPUBLICAN TICKET for the year 1805; and it is earnestly recommended to the support of all friends to the administration of our National Government, and to the principles of 1775.

A letter from an officer on board the Frigate President, dated Syracuse harbour, Sept. 28th states the following facts, which are too interesting, too illustrative of the high heroism of our seamen, and too honorable to the memory of the deceased, to be withheld from the public.
"I wrote you from Gibraltar the 13th August and from Malta the 6th inst. since which we have been off Tripoli, and arrived here two days previous to our arriving off Tripoli a boat was filled with 100 barrels of powder started in loose, and 300 shells; the command was given to our friend Somers, who had with him lieutenants Wadsworth and Israel, with about ten men, his orders were to get in as high the town and batteries as possible and put fire to the trains, he had with him a small boat to effect his escape from the harbor off which was Capt. Stewart in the Syren waiting for him. When we arrived off Tripoli we were informed that he got well in and set fire to the trains, but by some accident it was supposed the train communicated to the dry powder before they got off a sufficient distance from the vessel. But by an arrival here last night of a small vessel from Malta, the captain of whom was at Tripoli at the time of the explosion, he informs that Somers had got well in, when two gun boats full of men were sent to board him, which they effected, 100 Tripolitans being on board of his boat he found he must either fall into their hands or blow himself up; he chose the latter and with his own hands put the match to the powder, which instantly dashed to pieces the boat, and every person in them. About 100 shells fell into the town and castle, at this instant there was the greatest consternation every where and with 200 men I believe the castle might have been taken."
Among the brave fellows, who thus ended their days, and laid a well founded claim to glory, were Captain Somers, of Jersey, Lieutenant Wadsworth, Massachusetts, midshipman Israel, of Maryland—whose names have been stated before, but which are now given with greater precision to prevent mistakes.—The vessel blown up was a lugger, of but little value, taken from the enemy. ( Nat'l Intellig'r. )
Requisites for a Republican.
The despatch of Anglo-federalism becomes more apparent every day. Their pretensions were originally founded in arrogance, and maintained on a baneful principle of political inequality. From this state of torpidity , they were compelled to become hypocritical, and affect a sort of sneering regard for the people; but this affectation became ineffectual, and lost much of its required force, from the insolent folly of their scribblers, who, "ever and anon," would be calling the Farmer and Mechanic the rabble ; and, by aristocratic essays, under the signature of Clio , &c. put our Citizens on their guard against this open encroachment upon their personal dignity, independence and felicity. On this occasion, they ludicrously attempted to swallow their own words, but the recantation stuck in their throats, and the faction became more fickle than ever. To recover their fading credit, with the New-England States in particular, they affected a new character, which was equally offensive to God and man. They put on a mask of severe aspect, to hide their smiles, and daringly asserted that they were the exclusive defenders of revelation, and the only conservators of public morals! Some truly pious and sensible citizens believed that a declaration so boldly affirmed, might be, in part true, and gave them credit accordingly: but finding on examination of their manners , that they were altogether sensual, and not in any degree apostolic, or exemplary, they viewed them with disgust, and shook off all confidence in their word. The faction then had recourse to another artifice, to strengthen their electioneering purposes: and, without obtaining the consent of the parties, buckled Mr. Adams upon the back of Gen. Washington, and carried their effigies through New-England, begging support for the Washington and Adams compact (as fraudulent monks of Naples carry images of the Virgin and Saint Jarvarius , whenever they want to enforce a public deception) but this manœuvre lost its effect: for altho' John was duly proud of the partnership, he could not avoid growing, from a conviction that he was merely used as an instrument to cover the real designs of his arch-enemy Hamilton , and that when their turn was served, they would squeeze him dry again, like a worn political sponge, and cast him off among the shades of Braintree!
Discomfited by the attempt, and finding their difficulties increase, they were securely preparing a general assault upon the integrity of the Union, to divide the States, and sow the seeds of a civil war, when the hand of Providence interfered, and took away the head and fountain of their party. This was a fatal stroke, and they felt it in full force; they lamented and imprecated, sighed, threatened and prayed, in the same hour. At length the public were nauseated with their tyranny, their vanity and their dissimulation, and seized the earliest occasion to manifest their abhorrence, by giving such a majority to the REPUBLICAN ELECTORAL TICKET, as should have consigned them to silence and repentance; but that is not in their nature, as they are too insolent to be conurite, and too immoral to repent. They are not insensible to the approaches of a total destruction, but run about in dismay, among each other, like forlorn seamen on a wreck; yet, unhappily, their alarms are not inclined with any appearances of regret, for the past, or hope for the future. They are sinking deplorably into a political death, without raising their colours to signify dissolution, or taking down the streamers of their vanity from the mast head!
An Extra! An unconquerable and high minded pride; freedom of principle and of thought, which bends only to reason, and repels all other empires. He is pledged to nature, his country, and himself, to endure every present, and to disregard every future evil, rather than bend the knee a single moment; to trample under foot every thing that shakes his principles, or obstructs his duties; to sacrifice all to these; fortune, affections, passions—glory itself; to REJECT ALL PROTECTORS disguised under the name of FRIENDS; to be no man's who is nothi; assistance for assistance; zeal for zeal; friendship for friendship:—but above all liberty, virtue, and his country: to declare his sentiments openly by words or actions; to regard all illu-sory with respect to himself, as that depends only on opinion; every thing that his reason does not confirm or his heart approve; to value himself only on his firmness in maintaining his own rights, and his justice in respecting those of others; in a word, to be himself, to be himself alone, and to esteem himself for nothing but what is his own. Mirabeau.
Angel Gabriel at their head, were to form a court in this country, for the trial of JUDGE CHASE, or any other federal culprit, we firmly believe that the editor of the Centinel , or some of his "Washington Correspondents" would doubt the impartiality and question the judgment of even that oily tribunal. ( Chron. )
Spanish War.—WE can state, on the authority of letters from Madrid, as late as November 8th, that the British minister had left the Spanish Court: and, that no doubt existed of a war between the two countries.
The Spanish frigate La Vengeance, is arrived at Cadiz, and the frigate L' Amphitrite at Corunna, both from America, with 6,300,000 dollars. Another frigate, La Sabina, with seven millions, was expected.
On board the Mercedes, Spanish ship, which blew up in the late action with the British frigates, it is painful to state, that there were nineteen lady passengers, who perished with the rest of the unhappy persons on board.
A gentleman who came passenger in the barque Nixon , from Rotterdam to Savannah, informs that Mr. MUNROE, the American minister, arrived at Rotterdam from London on the 14th October, and left it in two days afterwards for Paris and Madrid.
The governor of the Indiana territory has published a proclamation, declaring that territory to have arrived at the representative grade of government: in consequence, an election was to have been held on the 3d inst. for members of an assembly, which is to meet in February next, at Vincennes.
FIRES.—At New Haven, on the morning of the 2d inst. a store owned by Mr. Henry Yorke, and occupied by Mr. Lent Hotchkiss; a house owned by Mr. John Chatterton, and occupied by Mr. Daniels, baker, and Mr. Manice, tobacconist; and a store, dwelling-house and an old building, owned by Messrs. Atwater and Dagget—were consumed.—The loss of personal property was also considerable.—On the 3d, a stone-cutter's shop was consumed.
We hear that a house at Saco , in the county of York, was destroyed by fire last week; and that the owner perished in the flames. It is said a maid-servant had taken a child from the house during the fire, without being observed by the parents, who supposed their infant was still in its bed; the father rushed forward to preserve it but never returned.—

Mr. BENNING HALL, of this town, has lately received a premium of ten dollars from the Humane Society, in Boston, for his benevolent exertions in saving, from a watery grave, a son of Mr. Oliver Hart.

Miscellaneous Repository.
We congratulate our friends on the NEW YEAR, and present the following lines, from that excellent Poet, COWPER, as peculiarly appropriate. They were written for the carrier of the Bills of Mortality, and are not to be found in any edition of Cowper's works.—Prov. Gaz.
HE who sits from day to day Where the prison'd lark is hung, Heedless of his loneliest lay, Scarcely knows that he has sung. So your Verse-Man I, and Clerk, Yearly in my long proclaim Death at hand, yourfelves the mark, And your foe's unerring aim. Duly at my time I come, Publishing to all aloud, Soon the grave must be your home, And your own but a shroud. But the monitory strain, Oft repeated in your ears, Seems to sound too much in vain, Wins no notice, wakes no fears. Death and judgment, heav'n and hell, These alone, so often heard, No more move us than the bell, When some stranger is inter'd. Pleasure's call attention wins, Hear it often as we may; New as ever seem our lines, Though repeated every day. O then! ere the turf, or tomb, Cover us from ev'ry eye; SPIRIT OF INSTRUCTION, come! Make us learn that we must die!
CHARITY.
The following extract from LOGAN's Sermons, a work lately re-printed in Boston, may not be inapplicable, at the present inclement season. "THE second thing proposed, was, to give exhortations to the practice of this duty. This duty is so agreeable to the common notions of mankind, that every one condemns the mean and sordid spirit of that wretch whom God has blessed with abundance, and consequently with the power of blessing others, and who is yet reluctant to the cries of the poor and miserable. We look with contempt and abhorrence upon a man who is ever amassing riches, and never bestowing them; as greedy as the sea, and yet as barren as the shore. Numbers, it is true, think they have done enough in declaring against the practice of such persons; for upon the great and the opulent they think the whole burden of this duty ought to rest; but for themselves, being somewhat of a lower class, they desire to be excused. Their circumstances, they say, are but just easy, to answer the demands of their family and therefore they plead inability, and expect to be exempted from the performance of this duty. Before this excuse will be of any avail, it behoves them to consider whether they do not indulge themselves in expenses unsuitable to their rank and condition. Imaginary wants are boundless, and charity will never begin, if it be postponed till these have an end. Every man, whether rich or poor, is concerned in this duty; in proportion to his circumstances: and he that has little is as strictly bound to give something out of that little, as he that hath more is obliged to give more. What advantage was it to the poor widow, that she, by giving her one mite into the treasury, could exercise a nobler charity than all the rich had done! The smallest gift may be the greatest bounty. "The practice of this duty, therefore, is incumbent upon all. To the performance of it you are drawn by that pity and compassion which are implanted in the heart. Compassion is the call of our Father in heaven to us his children, to put us upon relieving our brethren in distress. This is an affection wistly interwoven in our frame by the Author of our nature, that whereas abstracted reason is too sedentary and remits a counsellor, we might have a more instant and vigorous pleader in our own breasts to excite us to acts of charity. As far, indeed, as is ingrafted in us, it is mere instinct; but when we cultivate and cherish it, till we love mercy; when we dwell upon every tender sentiment that opens our mind and enlarges our heart, then it becomes a virtue. Whosoever thou art whose heart is hardened and waxed gross, put thyself in the room of some poor unfriended wretch, belet perhaps with a large family, broken with misfortunes, and pining with poverty, whilst silent grief preys upon his vitals; in such a case what wouldst thou think it reasonable thy rich neighbour should do: That like the Priest and the Levite, they should look with an eye of indifference, and pass by on the other side; or like the good Samaritan, pour balm into thy wounded mind? Be thyself the judge! and whatever thou thinkest reasonable thy neighbour should do to thee, go thou and do likewise unto them."

PATENT MEDICINES.
Sold by Appointment at the Store of PEIRCE, HILL & PEIRCE, MARKET-STREET. PATENT and family Medicines, celebrated for the cure of most diseases to which the human body is liable.—Particularly
—ALSO—
Chambaud's Antiphlogistic LOZENGES.
CONSUMPTION, COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMAS, & HOOPING COUGH, immediately relieved and speedily cured by Chambaud's Antiphlogistic Lozenges—As a sovereign remedy for the above complaints stands unequalled; not an instance has occurred (though taken by many thousand patients) wherein they have been known to fail; so superior are their virtues over every medicine, that, if the patient be ever so emaciated or reduced, having tried every medical assistance, they will act as it were by a charm, and instantly relieve the most inveterate cough, give ease and freedom to respiration, promote gentle expectoration, strengthen the debilitated constitution, procuring refreshing comfort of rest and sleep, and quickly effect a permanent cure.
HOOPING COUGH.
To Parents who have Children afflicted with the Hooping Cough.
This medicine is of the greatest importance, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time, entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Lozenges are so perfectly agreeable, and the dose is so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Dr. Bardwell's Genuine EYE WATER.
THIS MEDICINE possesses great and infallible efficacy in diseases of the Eyes and Eye-lids, from whatever causes they may arise, as recent colds, relics of the small pox, or measles, scurvy, scrofula, or any kind of acrimony in the blood, or juices in cases of ophthalmia, habitual inflammation, excoriated and ulcerated eye-lids, and that hitherto deemed incurable disease, the gaping or reverted eye-lid, it has a specific and very surprising power, as physicians and surgeons of great eminence can attest; it also clears and strengthens the sight, removes specks and films, and restores the eye-lashes, though apparently destroyed for many years. The preparation is simple, and may be applied at any time of life.
Antiphlogistic PILLS.
A VARIETY of medicines have been offered to the Public for this purpose, which instead of producing the intended effect, give present relief and eventually increase the complaint. These pills are prepared by a member of the College of Physicians, who is convinced that they are not only essentially different, but superior to any known receipt, in certainty of their effect; their unusual gentle operation, and that peculiarity not found in any other, that they leave the bowels free from costiveness, and occasion no irritation or return of the symptoms; when the stomach or intestines are surcharged with bile, these pills unite with, gently dissolve and carry down their contents; nor do they leave the bowels in a state of imbecility, but induce that temperament necessary to health so much to be desired.
YELLOW-FEVER.
EVERY experienced physician knows what dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy of bile in the habit; however salutary due secretion of this may be, yet a diffusion of it in the circulation is known from its putrescent quality, to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The unparalleled success of Dr. Hunter's Pills, in curing, and particularly in preventing this dreadful malady is universally known in the islands, and has induced the proprietor to appoint vendors in the mercantile cities of the United States, for the accommodation of merchants, captains and traders: the Antiphlogistic Pills are therefore in an especial manner recommended as a preservative deserving the notice of all persons going to the islands, or any of those places infected with epidemic fevers. The pills may be taken by the tenderest constitutions, require no confinement nor any restraint of diet. Sold by Messrs. Stokes and Co. and the vendors of their appointment, with copious directions. Observe that the Signature, Messrs. Stokes and Co. are affixed to each box.
WORM LOZENGES.
Since the discovery of this excellent
medicine by Dr. Hunter, many persons have experienced its salutary effect.
Dr. HUNTER'S LAXATIVE LOZENGES.
Since this excellent medicine was first discovered by Dr. Bardwell, several thousand females have experienced its salutary effects; many of whom had been reduced to the brink of the grave, having used every remedy recommended as specifics in those complaints, and had made every application to the faculty that could be obtained.
