Political Miscellany.
***** For the N. H. GAZETTE.
Divide et Impera—Machiavel.
THE time is arrived to the unspeakable gratification of every American, that the Federal party is in its wane and rapidly declining even in this State—Rhode-Island and Vermont have thrown off their chains,—at last Connecticut is throbbing off her shackles, and we the Citizens of New-Hampshire, just under the nose of Massachusetts, the Head Quarters of correct principles, and under the auspices of the self condemned Apostate , feel the joyous prospect that Federalism is about to make a hasty departure out of this lately deluded quarter. Two questions present themselves that ought to be well weighed and disposed of by every disinterested friend to his country, upon the annihilation of what is absurdly called Federalism; in fourteen out of the sixteen United States—First, why Federalism should be driven to Boston, in the Massachusetts State, for its expiring effort; and next, to what approximate cause we are to ascribe to the Citizens of New-Hampshire, that we are the last State in the Union to have a Republican Legislature, and a Republican Governor—and I shall content myself with giving the short answer to the last query, of "Divide et Impera"—leaving the partizans of Federalism in Boston, to answer the first question; and to make the most of their hobby. The Head Quarters where Federalism has reared her citadel in Boston, has a mine of communication with the Head Quarters of some persons in Portsmouth, to counteract or undermine in her most vigorous sallies upon the integrity of the Republicans. The Spies, Traitors, Manoeuvrers and Splitters, are all at work upon the "Divide et Impera"—The chain of communication kept up in the out posts in the country—till the Tory creature Federalism is worn out, and families for subsistence. Is there a man high in the esteem of his fellow-citizens for an undeviating principle, early made the foundation of that regard through the long and trying scenes of the Revolution, and the more distressing recent trials, of a consistent, manly and honorable resistance to the late perilous and dishonorable measures; that has worked out his own happiness and the salvation of his Country?—Impair his confidence, shake the esteem, set up a competitor for popular favor; how much looser the latter may despise your deceitful adulation—give mouth like a pack of hounds to your divisionary creatures, planted in the inns and on the roads, in the interior of the Country!!—Is it likely that the Republican prints as in Connecticut, get through the country through the fidelity of the mail carriers?—Take care by any means however dishonorable or odious, through whatever avenue your application be made, at the sacrifice of every honorable principle and abandonment of principle, duplicity and deception, to get a person that is virulently Federal, notoriously Federal, to sink the Republican prints, and substitute the foul, wanton ignominious slanders of the despised Tory faction.
Fellow-Citizens, be on your guard—look up to your primary principle, keep that in view—that principle laid down by the never fading Pen of Jefferson, that has restored to you your rights by a recurrence to the elementary principles of Liberty, established in 1776, and your invaluable Constitution—Look not too much to particular Men—the mals of the people in New-Hampshire are right, in this Town remarkably so—we have our Splitters and our Dividers, that will unite and divide , just as it is convenient—we know them all—we can account for every vote out of the 145—we cannot account for some of our Republicans, no matter for that—we have a watchful eye over them—they can do no harm by their countermining & undermining—they check the rapidity of Republicanism by the two means above alluded, to the utmost in their power—we cannot find out the former—we may detect the latter—they will soon find that manœuvre cannot last—or that they can deceive those that are to be deceived by their foul acquiescence in Federal Splitting and detestable submission to Federal views, for their own private interested points.
It is in the nature of man to have his private interest in view, and it is not extraordinary that Men in public life, candidates for the highest responsible stations, should have such characters about them—they are good Republicans and good Citizens—but no party or favouritism should be discernable to the exclusion of the principle to look up to those men among us who went through the Revolution, and are known to be firm to us—these are the men to please our war worn Revolutionists in the country—they will hear of no other to their disparagement, and acknowledge no other—Ten or twenty years at most, will remove them from this scene—whilst they are amongst us, let us cherish and learn our children's children to venerate the memory of the fathers and supporters of Liberty.—If the Tory party can divide your esteem, sink your predilection, and disparage the friends of Liberty, they will employ those motley Politicals, or rather a description worse than Tories, who are not so well known to the public to do it—and by such means flatter themselves to succeed;—Therefore be on your guard, if the Tories divide you, they think to conquer—'tis too late—see what a political out
cast their trumpeter and declamator, "Bayard," has become in his own State—the man that was their Federal Idol, who threatened the Chief Magistrate in his Presidential Chair—that he would soon hear the voice of the People—"he has heard the voice of an insulted and injured People, their own worst enemies, by dismissing this presumptuous Delegate, and choosing a Republican!" Look to the Republican Legislatures throughout the United States, and for the honor of degraded, insulted, and deluded New-Hampshire, let us not be backward to throw off the Tory influence—counteract their manoeuvres—look sharp after the Splitters, and assert our own dignity in the Union.
SUSPICATOR.
A bone for Royalists to gnaw.
IN whatever shape or form arbitrary or despotic governments are patronised by finite mortal agents, as it respects social order , they must, from the very reason and nature of things, have derived their principles from that source which originated the powers of darkness : which powers are abundantly and most pointedly described, by divine revelation, in such plain and legible terms, that he who is not wilfully blind, may run as he reads, and understand. Yet such is the moral turpitude of the depraved heart of man, contracted by his fall from primitive rectitude, that false pride and ambition which leagued the human species with the fallen angels, has rendered mankind universally blind as to their present deplorable, sinful and degraded state , which nothing but the energy and force of truth , impressed by that divine fiat which spoke creation into existence , will be sufficient to restore them to a proper sense of their own true characters ! This is not a mere solemn, than it is a real truth! But what a wretched and humiliating picture does this give of the human species! yet this is, my fellow mortals, by nature , our proper likenesses. Hence if any of us are inspired with a proper sense of our civil and religious rights , it is a miracle of grace, which we ought to nourish in our own bosoms, and prize as the best and highest gift of heaven! Ye are, under the providence of GOD, the instrumental conservators of those rights ; who are by the favour of mankind likewise described under the metaphor of the salt of the earth ! By and through you, as instruments, those rights must, nay I trust will be maintained and handed down to posterity, in opposition to all the powers of darkness, combined against you. But not of yourselves independently —this is not the trait of your proper character; no, you are not to assume the high behest: this kind of independence belongs to your opponents, it is a power which the fallen angels first assumed, and which Satan promised to poor deluded man, upon their revolt—"Ye shall be as God, said he to Eve, knowing good and evil!" Ye shall be as Gods! not merely as having the knowledge of good and evil, but ye shall have the power of God, and reign independently on earth. This undoubtedly was fully in Satan's address to Adam and Eve in Paradise; for merely to have the knowledge of good and evil, as moral agents, could not have been an object sufficient to excite their revolt: but to have power as Gods, and to reign on earth independent of any moral obligation to divine government, or to the moral law, any other ways than depended on their own voluntary consent, without any restraint upon their own will: to be thus free, and to have power as Gods, as Satan flattered them to believe they would, by partaking of the forbidden fruit which God had fixed and enjoined upon them as a test of their obedience, was a high and irresistible temptation, which they could not forego. Something like this, they were undoubtedly made to believe, by this interview of Satan, which excited them to join in the revolt with the fallen angels against the kingdom of heaven. Hence we find this proud ambitious spirit—this thirst for power, which can only grow in fallen nature's garden, every where prevailing with depraved man, through all succeeding ages, down to the present day! Hence that principle which inspires the love of civil and religious liberty , is not fallen, but renewed nature; it is a refinement , only previous to you who feelingly knew and understand your own proper characters as dependent beings . Feeling and knowing the force of this truth, in its full latitude, you can neither wish, nor dare to assume this unwarrantable power—No, not the highest archangel, or the most eminent saint in heaven, were they permitted to assume bodies, and to dwell on earth as members of human society, would dare to assume, or accept of absolute or unlimited power, or any power independent of the will of the people, in matters of civil government; if every man in society were to come forward, and say to them, fellow-beings, we are so well convinced of your proper characters—the purity of your dispositions—of your wisdom and understanding in all matters relating to our civil and religious rights , that we think we can with safety and do wish to constitute you our rulers, with an independent and uncontrollable power, in all matters relating to those rights: they would undoubtedly be shocked at the very idea, and say to them, fellow-beings, it is a power we dare not assume, it does not belong to us thus to govern on earth, no more than if we were in heaven: we have no such right as dependent moral agents, any more than ourselves, we are the creatures of the same being, whose right alone it is thus to govern; but if we can serve you in any delegated trust, as members of your society, we will cheerfully do it, according to the best of
our abilities. This I am confident would be their reply to offers of such a nature. Hence it is evident that no mere finite beings, but proud ambitious fallen angels, and depraved man, would dare to accept of, or assume unlimited or independent power over their fellow beings? Now, if the best, purest, and the wisest of finite dependent beings, suppose, nay, know themselves unqualified and unauthorised for such a trust, what an ungodly instrument must a proud, ambitious, dependent or unlimited power, and let him meet with opposition in the exercise of this power from any of his subjects, be their numbers ever so great, or their cause ever so just, if he could make himself formidable enough by favorite attachments to his person , I am confident he would sacrifice every soul of his opponents, and three quarters of his own faithful friends , before he would give up his independent power! and thus prove himself to be a MONSTER in human shape, a TYRANT, and a DEVIL INCARNATE .

The Rural Loiterer—No. V.
And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. Ex. XXXII. 3.
NOR were the simple and idolatrous Jews the only people, who have delivered up their gold and jewels to erect a "molten calf." How many of the projects of mankind, at this day, are as ridiculous, as that of the Israelites when they requested Aaron to make an image composed of lifeless and inanimate matter! Look, and thou shalt see the gold of sincerity, and honesty, bartered for the imaginary happiness which wealth and equipage presents. You shall find the courtier, bartering flattery for the favour of his prince; the minister, selling his country for a bribe; the fine lady, exchanging the peaceful retreats of solitude and retirement, for the dangerous pleasures of the city; and the merchant, bartering his sincerity for gain. You shall find some priests erecting the "molten calf" of pleasure & dissipation on the ruins of religion; some lawyers, delivering up the jewel of an easy conscience, to construct the "molten calf" of vain popularity and fame; and some quacks in physic, who build the "molten calf" of a celebrated name, at the expence of the fortunes of their patients. In short, the adorers of "molten calves" prevail universally, and mankind, in every age, have ever had some favorite scheme, to promote which, no artifice no sacrifice was too great, but honor, sincerity, truth and honesty were levelled with the dust, to prepare a spot for the erection of their favorite "molten calves."
Was not a throne the "molten calf" of Oliver Cromwell, and universal domination that of the ambitious Alexander? How numerous are the worshippers of molten calves" in the present age! Walk the streets of the metropolis, and behold the adorers of fashion, the most insignificant of all the train who worship "molten calves!" Gentle reader, be not angry, for the Rural Loiterer knows there are "molten calves" to which he pays adoration. When I see a young man, immersed in dissipation and luxury, and thoughtless of youthful improvements, I say, misguided and idolatrous youth, you are erecting a "molten calf," which will not be so easily reduced to "power," as the one that Aaron built.
When I see a fair form, decked in all the extravagancies of dress, and yet deficient in reservedness, and modesty, surely, say I, that lady has delivered up a very precious jewel, that might be ranked with the worshippers of the "molten calf" of fashion. When I see a beautiful country seat, exchanged for a noisy residence in a city, I say, the owner has made a greater sacrifice, than the Israelites did, when they delivered up their gold and jewels, to be received in the form of a "molten calf;" for he has exchanged the tranquil felicity of a rural life, for the company of flattering and designing men, who care for nothing but the "loaves and fishes."
We behold a multitude of other worshippers; among the rest, the midnight gambler, who quits the social fire-side and the endearments of conjugal life, to become the associate of blasphemers and drunkards, and the votary of the "molten calf" of gaming. The adorers of this "calf" are, perhaps, the most difficult to reclaim of all the train of worshippers, for they are so devoted as to sacrifice on the altar of gaming, not only their fortunes,

their health, their reputation, the means on which an endearing wife and tender infants depend for existence, but, not infrequently, their own lives. So enthusiastic are its adorers, that neither the calls of nature, compassion or gratitude ever disturb the dreadful sleep, in which this deluding "calf" involves them. When our ancestors landed on these shores, they were content to follow the counsels of each wife and sagacious "Moses," who taught them, that the thread-bare garments of sincerity and honesty, were more valuable than the gorgeous attire of dissimulation and deceit; but, at this day, there has so many "Aarons" rose up, that we begin to think it is best to deliver into their hands these jewels, and let them form them with a "graving tool," into the "molten calves" of fashionable dissipation, modern vice and city luxury. But, should some of our sleeping "Moses" be raised from the dead, or their virtues appear in some of their polity, we may still be in hopes, that these "molten calves" will be "ground to powder," and vanish, like the impending thunder storm before the western gale, while our deluded Israelites will be obliged to own, that man destroys his own happiness, by depending on such feeble Gods, and that, if he would taste felicity, he must adore the Author of his existence, and be really good and virtuous.
From the CHRONICLE.
To THEOPHILUS PARSONS, Esq.
THE mortification which you have suffered in not being able to support your plea, may be an apology for not noticing the remarks made in my last number. This, however, is but a poor excuse for a man, who has ventured to arrest a Court of Justice in its legal operations. If you do not answer, your cause goes by default, and you stand convicted before an impartial public, of attempting that which you could not substantiate, and of retreating from a controversy on which your professional talents were pledged.
Your reputation as a Lawyer had risen to the highest elevation; but "there is a tide in the affairs of men." You have been suffered to sport with the character you had acquired, and have at length by your temerity brought yourself to that standard, which is the only "check & balance" to an unbounded vanity & ambition. You vainly thought that your Plea was sufficient to convince the people of the unconstitutionality of the Court without reflecting that it would excite on the next day, the curiosity of a crowded audience to hear the arguments to be urged in defence of the ground which you had presumptuously occupied. Your nerves, it is probable, were strung at the moment of your appeal, to an uncommon tone of energy; but a few hours of retirement had relaxed them to that state of debility, which palsied those efforts adequate to the magnitude of the undertaking.
I would with, Sir, to reason coolly on this interesting subject; I would ask you, whether your Plea was not a direct impeachment either of the integrity or legal knowledge of the Judges?—The Court was opened & formally organized; prayers were made to Heaven to solemnize its proceedings; the Jury were impaneled and the Charge delivered; the officers of government were exercising their accustomed duties; the Marshal, Constables, and every subordinate officer, were pursuing their usual routine of business:—was it not then the highest act of indecency to state a Plea which struck at the Constituted Authority of the United States, thus solemnly and formally moving within its legitimate orbit?—What was the language of your plea? was it not to this purport?—May it please your Honors, I Theophilus Parsons Esquire, come forward, clothed with the majesty of my own preeminence, to inform the Court, that they do not know the duties of their office; that although they have taken an oath to support the constitution of the United States, yet they are ignorantly acting in violation of it; that they are pursuing measures which expose them to an impeachment; that they are ignorant of the laws which they presume to execute; that the prayer of the Clergyman on opening the Court, is a libel against the Government, and an affront to Heaven; that the Jury are only aiders and abettors of treason and rebellion; and that your Marshal and Constables are in league with a body of insurgents, who have assembled in this hallowed place of justice to prostrate all the sacred attributes of the Judiciary.—I, therefore propose, at 10 o'clock to-morrow, to convince your Honors of the legality of my charge; and, if you are honest men, you will dissolve the Court, and retire to your homes, under a full conviction of your indecency and impropriety of conduct!
This, Sir, appears to me to be the plain language of your plea; and after you had thus come forward, I must declare as my opinion, that the Court ought to have held you to prove your charge, or obliged you to ask pardon for your arrogance.
Had Theophilus Parsons a greater right to stop the progress of the Judiciary than Daniel Shays? It is but of little consequence who the person is, that arrests this ark of the government. Shays intimidated the Court with bayonets; but Parsons stopped its progress by a formal plea, which involved in it the vital principles of its jurisdiction! The former could not succeed in accomplishing his point; neither was the latter more fortunate in substantiating his charge. Both were defeated; but, as it respected the Court, the progress of justice was delayed as much by one as the other, in proportion to the temerity of the respective individuals.
I would ask you, Sir, whether you had fully considered the consequences of your conduct?—Suppose a vessel had sailed for Europe on the day you filed your Plea, and it was announced in England, France, Holland, Russia and other commercial nations,
that the Courts of Justice were about to be stopped in America—do you know, Sir, what effect this might have had on the commerce of this country? Would an English, Dutch or Russian merchant ship goods, while the Courts of Law were thus suspended? Would not every European merchant have been cautious how far he answered the orders of his correspondents? Would not a general distrust have arisen on the Exchange of these respective nations? Would not a universal dread have been stamped on all mercantile concerns, as they related to the United States; especially, if it was asserted that the Giant of the Law had thus arrested the Courts of Justice, and had only required a few hours to complete the dissolution?
As a Lawyer, you may think to trifle within the Bar, but remember, Sir, that what is sport to you, is death to the character of the country. The property of the merchant in his foreign connections is of the most sacred nature—you may cover yourself in a secure mantle, and put a silk handkerchief about your neck to attend a Court of Law; but you ought to be reminded that the Commerce of America is deposited in almost every part of the habitable world, and that your visionary speculations may eventually ruin thousands of enterprising merchants and industrious seamen. I am free to say, that I think every man who was concerned in navigation, and whose vessel sailed on the day in which you stopped the Court, is entitled to an action of damages, for your wanton, injudicious, and unprecedented proceedings, and if I was on the Jury, should insist on laying a heavy penalty.
Further—did you consider how far such a proceeding might have operated on the Public Credit of the United States? The nations to whom we are indebted, might have made immediate demands on us, when they apprehended a dissolution of our Judiciary. The public funds must have fallen in foreign markets, and the merchants in general been exposed to all those inconveniences arising from a decrease of confidence in our Judiciary Tribunals. In short, Sir, you are not aware of the mischiefs which might have taken place by your indiscretion, not only as it relates to individuals, but to the whole nation. I am willing to allow you every indulgence for your hasty measure, but while the dignity and reputation of America are hazarded by your imprudence, it is incumbent on every citizen to reprobate your folly.
I would call on you, Sir, to produce an authority, on which you predicated your Plea. I do not pretend to be a drid Lawyer, shackled with the formalities of his profession, but I challenge you to state from the books a similar appeal. I know that a plea of jurisdiction may be made, as to a particular case, but you will be puzzled to shew any authority analogous to your impetuous fride of destroying the existence of a Court, in the extensive degree contemplated in your plea. As an Attorney, I ask you to produce the evidence—you may be silent, but silence is no conviction of the propriety of your behaviour; and when a Lawyer holds his tongue, it is a strong proof that he is confounded. If you do not answer, I must conclude that Theophilus Parsons, Esquire, is destitute of reasons to vindicate his conduct.
I would not be too severe in my remarks, or attempt to draw an unfair conclusion from the premises; but when we consider the revolutionary tendency of the measure; the consequences which must inevitably have taken place, in case the plea had been admitted; the total derangement of all causes in which property was depending; the general convulsion in every department of Government, by a war commencing between the Legislature and Judiciary; in short, the laws suspended: life, liberty and property tossed on the boisterous ocean of contending parties; the sword of Justice arrested, and the poignard of an Essex Junto introduced as a substitute—who then, Sir, could answer for the dreadful state into which society would be plunged? You must have been responsible for the event, and "God only knows" the extent of the catastrophe. Viewing things on this broad scale, no citizen who duly estimates the harmony of the United States will consider the observations as too pungent. I flatter myself that your candor will suppose them but a moderate discipline for the evil which you threatened. OLD-SOUTH.
A word to a confederate man is sufficient.
Who are the Leaders of the Federal Party?
Old Tories and Speculators. Those who left us in a time of distress, and such as were actually engaged in opposing our revolution, are almost to a man leaders of the federal party.
Have true Americans become so credulous as to believe that those men now possess better principles than they then did? Think seriously of this. Those who kept themselves secure from danger and were lurking about in the time of war, taking every advantage of a distressed Country, deceiving and cheating the almost starved soldiers, are now almost to a man leaders of the federal party. Is it possible for honest men to suppose that those men possess better principles now than they then did? Think seriously of this. Are those men who have made themselves rich by plundering the country in a time of distress, and by cheating the war worn soldier, to be considered as real friends of the country, or to any individuals? I say they are not, altho' they are Federal leaders; yet I must acknowledge that their ill gotten wealth gives them a great ascendancy, and many are so duped by the glitter of their diamonds, that they follow after them bowing & scraping, hoping, gaping and gazing, until they find themselves neglected & cheated out of their rights, then left to wallow in the mire. These things are seriously considered and re-considered by an
OLD SOLDIER.

LONDON SEPT. 12. IT is with real concern we notice the commencement of a civil war in Switzerland. Blood has been already shed, and the smaller cantons seem determined to resist, with all their power, the introduction of the new constitution of Helvetia. It is not difficult to anticipate the issue of this unfortunate contest—they must yield to the united force of the other states, supported by the power and influence of France.
We have already expressed an opinion, that Toussaint would not be brought to a public trial. He has been confined in the castle of Joux, situated near Mount Jura, where he is probably destined to pass the remainder of his life.
Sept. 13.—By a gentleman arrived at Plymouth, who has been making a tour of France, and particularly of its principal fortresses, we learn the following interesting particulars—There will be, in the course of this and the next month, ready for launching, 36 men of war, from 74 to 120 guns, at Brest, Rochefort, and L'Orient. Provisions of all kinds were very dear, particularly in Paris.
Sept. 15.—Gen. Andreossi, it is said is to make his public entrance into London on the 23d of September, a day previously selected, as it should seem, for it corresponds with the 1st Vendemaire of the French calendar, or new year's day, and is the day on which France was declared to be a republic. His Excellency's suite will be very numerous and splendid. M. Portalis, jun who was one of the secretaries of the French legation at Amiens, is to be secretary to the embassy.
Sept. 16.—A Portuguese squadron, of two sail of the line and seven frigates and sloops of war, is now collected at Gibraltar, which are to sail with an intention of blockading Algiers, in hopes of forcing the Dey to conclude a peace with them.
Our letters from the Hague of the 10th state, that the French troops in Holland were to begin evacuating the Republic on the 12th. The greater part of them are to be sent to Louisiana.
M. de Bourrienne is still at Toulon, waiting for a vessel which is to carry him to Louisiana. He was offered his choice between being banished to that place or to Pondicherry. He chose the former. His fate is peculiarly regretted.
LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 14. The Privy Council have issued orders prohibiting the importation of produce of the British colonies or territories, either for exportation or home consumption, otherwise than directly from thence, with some exception with respect to cotton wool.

CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 12. The English have just evacuated the whole of Egypt. The Turks pretend that before embarking they sold at a mean price, to the rebel Beys, all the ammunition remaining in that province. These still continue in Upper Egypt, and are daily reinforcing themselves with defectors from the Ottoman army, principally with those from the Asiatic corps.
As soon as it was known that the freedom of the Black Sea had been granted to the French, several commercial houses of that nation, established here, have sent expresses to Smyrna, Salonica, and several places in the Archipelago, charged with new speculations.
BERNE, SEPT. 13. The French minister received yesterday a courier from Paris. Nothing has yet transpired of the dispatches brought by him; but they cannot be otherwise than interesting to our country. A great event is preparing, which it is said will take place to-morrow. During the two last days very active and multiplied conferences were held at the landdamman Dolder's. We are assured, that it is in contemplation to appoint a Dictator, or Grand Conciliator; and, that citizen Dolder is designated for that extraordinary magistracy.
Sept. 14.—An event little expected occupies the public attention, and gives rise to a thousand conjectures. Citizen Dolder, landamman, has been carried off this morning from his house, and under the eye of his guards, after having been obliged to resign his office.
Sept. 15.—We hear from Baden that a smart action has taken place between the insurgents and the Helvetic troops. The former had about 30 men killed, and a great number wounded.
Sept. 16.—Citizen Dolder, landamman, Ruteman and Fussy, stadthalters, who had given in their resignation on the 14th and 15th, have returned to the resumption of their functions, in consequence of an invitation from the Senate.
The war office has this morning received accounts of the capitulation of Zurich.
A courier arrived last evening from headquarters has brought dispatches announcing that a column of about two thousand peasants of the canton of Zurich had joined the Helvetic army; and that a reinforcement of about 400 men, in two bodies, destined for the city, have been defeated by our troops of the line and militia, and especially by our horse chasseurs, who have dispersed the insurgents, killed many, and made forty prisoners.
All the troops that were in Oberland are returning to Berne, and the posts which were at Brune are raised.
PARIS, SEPT. 12. When one of the Tribunes was asked to vote upon the Consulship for life, he wrote to the President a letter, in which he said, that he could not preserve his functions in a country in which liberty appeared to be annihilated; and as his opinion upon the welfare of France was not in unison with the sentiments of attachment and admiration which he felt personally for Bonaparte, he saw no other means of reconciling them than of giving in his resignation. The President did not choose to read the letter publicly.
The Chateau de St. Cloud is ready for the reception of the First Consul, who will remove thither with his family immediately.
It is said, that he will reside there for many months in the year as the King of France used to reside at Versailles.
The French harvest has commenced, and a great deal of wheat has been cut and got in, in fine condition, about Lisieux, and higher up in the interior, but they have not yet commenced about the coast. It promises to be abundant, and the price of grain falls rapidly. At Bretenil, last Wednesday, wheat fell from 60 livres the sack to 50, and it was expected soon to be at 35. At Melun, and other places, it has fallen to 49, and has little sale at that price, and other grain has fallen in proportion.

WASHINGTON CITY, OCT. 27. Information received from Algiers, as late as the 16th of August, states, that on the 5th of that month two French 74's, a corvette, and brig of war, under the command of a rear-admiral, arrived at Algiers, having on board General Hulot, a French agent. On the next day the agent demanded a renunciation of all pecuniary claims on the French, an admission of the Italian Republic to a free navigation, the severe punishment of two Algerine captains who had ill-treated two French captains, by throwing overboard national dispatches, and flogging a French captain at Tunis.
He further demanded the restoration of three Neapolitan vessels, with their cargoes and crews, captured by Algerine corsairs on the coast of France; and declared that France would not give a Mediterranean passport to any national vessel whatever. In all these demands the Dey reluctantly acquiesced.
The French are to have Lecalle, which they mean to fortify, and are to enjoy the commercial privileges specified in the treaty made in December last, it is further stated that they demand a fortified factory at Bona.
On the 15th of August, the French agent failed, in an armed brig, for Marseilles. The next day was fixed for the departure of the admiral and his fleet, for Tunis.
No English agent or naval force had appeared at Algiers. Spain had acquiesced in her previous arrangements.
It was apprehended at Algiers that the Dey, in order to recover his popularity, which had been much shaken by his submission to the French, would seek a rupture with either the Danes, Swedes, Dutch or Americans.
A letter from Malaga, dated August 10, states commodore Morris, with the frigate Adams, and the Schooner Enterprise, to be at Gibraltar waiting the issue of Mr. Simpson's negotiation at Tituan. Admiral De Winter, with three sail of the line, and some small vessels, proceeded from Malaga on the 9th August for Algiers, to accommodate the differences between the Batavian Government and the Regencies of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli. The Swedish frigates still continue to grant convoy to the Americans.
NEW-YORK, NOV. 1. Capt. Noble, of the brig Friends Adventure, who arrived here on Saturday in 17 days from Cape Francois, informs us that in the night of the 8th October, a party of the negroes of St. Domingo took forcible possession of Port-de-Paix, and it is expected have massacred most of its inhabitants. Two boats full of people who had fled, arrived at the Cape, some of them mortally wounded. On the 10th, the Admiral sent a frigate and a sloop of war, with troops, to endeavour to re-take it: with what success, Capt. Noble could not learn, as he failed on the 11th. At his departure he heard very heavy cannonading off Port-de-Paix. On the 22d, in lat. 32, 40. N. long. 72, 52. W. spoke a ship from England, bound to New-Providence, with hoops, very much disabled, having carried away her main top-mast and main yard and split all her sails to pieces.
BOSTON, NOVEMBER 15. A letter has been received at New-Bedford dated at Cape Francois on the 7th Oct. which observes;—"The Fever is still prevalent here; I am sorry to add, that the rebel Negroes gain ground upon us, and there is serious apprehension of their final arrival here, & a third destruction of this place. The plains of the Cape, quite up to Petit-Ance (within two miles of this town) are destroyed. The daily skirmishes and firing of musketry are not only within hearing but within sight of us. The commerce of this place is much lessened, and the markets are dull."
The majority of votes for Governor of Pennsylvania amounts to about THIRTY-ONE THOUSAND!—and what is more, not one anti-republican gets to congress.
In the Boston Centinel of June 20th, 1784, we find the following very short but just description of our beloved PRESIDENT, who was then in this town to take his passage for Europe, in a ship belonging to the late Nathl. Tracy, Esq. commanded by Capt. St. Barbe, of Newburyport. It is known there was but one female in the ship, and that was his amiable and accomplished daughter. Mr. Alexander Moore, an Englishman, and Mr. Tracy were passengers with him. It is unnecessary to add that his correct and unadulterated deportment secured him the esteem and affection of every person on board, and that Capt. St. Barbe never mentions the name of Mr. JEFFERSON but with every expression of esteem and admiration of his conduct and character.
Thou hypocrite, thou who sayest he is a fornicator, art thou not an adulterer?
"On Friday last the Hon. Thomas Jefferson, Esq. late Governor of Virginia, arrived here by land from that State. He is shortly to embark for Europe, as a Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States, in the room of the Hon. John Jay, Esq. who is about to return to America.—Gov. Jefferson, who has so eminently distinguished himself in the late glorious revolution, is a gentleman of a very amiable character, to which he has joined the most extensive knowledge. He is a mathematician and philosopher, as well as a civilian and politician, and the memorable declaration of American Independence is said to have been penned by him."

WE have accounts via New-York, a few days later than those mentioned in our last. They do not furnish any interesting events.
THE troubles in Switzerland were daily creating new prejudices and augmented distrusts.
Mr. Fox, in his visit to France, has paid his respects to the exiled FAYETTE, at his residence.
[OFFICIAL]—His Catholic Majesty's Consul-General Chevalier de Pedada, received a few days ago, official information from the Governor of St. Augustine, that the Pons in that Province are clotted against all Neutrals Vessels—at the same time, permitting the Citizens of the United States to trade in Spanish bottoms, agreeable to the Royal Order of the 9th June, 1793.
AS the time draws near, for the assembling of the great Council of the Nation, when the sentiments of the people will be expressed by their Representatives, collected from every part of our widely extended empire; and as we conceive it important, that all possible publicity should be given to the measures, views and objects of the present republican administration, being persuaded, that to be approved, they need only to be known; we propose to publish in our next, the introductory message of the President at the opening of the last Congress, and to follow it in succeeding papers, with a brief view of all their proceedings; that our readers by having their memory refreshed with a comprehensive detail of what has been done, may be enabled to correct past proceedings with what may be done; and having thus a view of the whole ground, be aided in forming correct opinions of an administration, and a Government that courts and invites the People to investigate, judge and pass sentence on all its doings. A government that lays no restraint on the press to prevent the people from reading and knowing, nor passes any Gag laws to deter them from communicating and expressing their opinions of its measures.
From a government thus throwing itself on the judgment of the people, and relying on their severest scrutiny, what have we to fear, or rather what have we not to hope, that may lighten the burthen and secure the Happiness and Liberty of the People.
Eighteen Republican Representatives, (their whole number,) are elected in Pennsylvania, for the next Congress—These were all chosen in separate Districts, yet the Legislature of that State, being all Republican, could, by electing at large in one general ticket, have injured a republican choice, without the hazard of a mixture—But they magnanimously resolved to afford the People in every quarter of the State, the fullest opportunity of electing Representatives of their own sentiments, and the result has proved glorious to the Republican cause. Had the Legislature of New-Hampshire, conducted with equal magnanimity, and elected our Representatives to Congress, by Districts, two out of the five would certainly have been Republican.
Eight Republican Representatives, out of sixteen, are elected in Massachusetts, for the next Congress—In one District there is no choice, but the probability is, that a Republican will be eventually elected—This will give Massachusetts a majority in the National Council, who a few years ago could claim only one solitary Republican in her whole representation—May the leaven of Republicanism continue to ferment, 'till the whole mass is leavened.
IN the New-York penitentiary the Rumford system of rigid economy has been adopted with success. In the month of November 1801 the daily cost of food for three hundred and fifteen persons was only 18 dollars and 9 cents, viz.

DIED—At Litchfield, on the 28th of Oct. last, Major WILLIAM M'QUEEN Esq. aged 69 years. His children and friends must mourn the loss of so good a parent and friend—The town one of its staunch supporters of order and virtue; and the poor must miss his open hand. He has served his country as a Major. He has served in the Church of CHRIST an honorable office. In the salvation of CHRIST he was a firm believer, which belief he proved by his works. He also served the county of Hillsborough as a civil magistrate, with impartiality, according to the best of his judgment. Therefore died an honest man.

STANZAS, Addressed to THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States.
O'er the plain in beauty smiling See the stormy clouds arise, Which, as if the light reviling, Hang with black the azure skies. But ere yet another morning, Drink the cold earth's dewy tear, Light, in brighter brilliance dawning, Shall the dark horizon clear. Thus with falsehood's vilest story, JEFFERSON, in vain they try, To obscure thy beams of glory, Sun-like beams that ne'er can die. Furious fiends, with secret flame, All their artless vapors pour, While around in rapture wanders Every insect of the hour. Haggard envy prone to languish, Hare, from disappointment born; Vex'd ambition vents its anguish, Malice smiles, affecting scorn. All in vain sublimely rising, Truth shall dare her fervid ray, And, the summer cloud dispelling, Chase the envious gloom away. To thy active genius owing That which dared proclaim her free, With fire of freedom glowing, Blest Columbia bids thee free. Like thy own Potomac winding Through the irrigated plain, And 'twixt the mountains finding Health and beauty in its train: So, by godlike Truth protected, Shall thy fame, the mind its guide, Flow with ev'ry charm collected, And remain the people's pride. Firm and towering as the mountains, Crown'd with virtue's virgin snow, Pure as nature's fairest fountains, That with sparkling brilliancy flow. Clear as light when first created, Chaste as angels' guardian love, And on the wings of time elated, Deathless as himself shall prove. THE SYBIL.
A FRAGMENT. ***** HE stood some minutes before the door waiting for admission. — I advanced to lift the latch, and beheld the victim of disease and misfortune. Follow me, Sir, my heart knows how to pity the miserable. He dragged his palsied limbs into the parlour, and seated himself. Was there an extra- vagant and dissipated man present, though I how great would be the pleasure he might now taste, by relieving this worthy object; superior to all his noisy and enervating joys; How grateful the sensation that follows an act of benevolence! The miserable votary of sensuality knows nothing of it. Well, I saw him depart with satisfaction in his count- enance, and a heart of gratitude. When you see a poor wretch in the street, think, that, although fortune now smiles, her ca- pricious whims may render you low, as the object who asks your charity. —
GEN. SCAMMEL, an amiable man and a valuable officer, who was slain in battle dur- ing the American revolutionary war, taught a school in a town in New-England, nearly thirty years ago; and by the ingenious de- vice of fixing, upon his scholars, ribbons of different colours, denoting their progress and their merits, he raised and cherished a- mong them an astonishing degree of emula- tion; and at the same time governed them, without the aid of the scourge and the fer- ula. [Balance.]
A gentle hint, To whom it may concern; Extrad and Addressed By one of the fraternity of Snuff Takers. Tobacco is usually the basis of snuff; other matters being only added to give it a more agreeable scent, &c. The kinds of snuff and their several names, are infinite, and new ones are daily invented; so that it would be difficult, not to say impossible, to give a detail of them — We shall only say, that there are three principal sorts: the first granulated; the second an impalpable pow- der; and the third the bean, or coarse part remaining after lifting the second sort. Every profess'd inveterate and incurable snuff-taker (says Lord Stanhope) at a mod- erate computation, takes one pinch in ten minutes. Every pinch, with the agreeable ceremony of blowing and wiping the nose and other incidental circumstances, consumes a minute and a half. One minute and a half out of every ten, allowing 16 hours to a snuff-taking day, amounts to two hours and 24 minutes out of every natural day or one day out of every ten — One day out of every ten amounts to 36 days and a half in a year. Hence if we suppose the practice to be per- sisted in 40 years, two entire years of the snuff-taking life will be dedicated to tickling the nose, and two more to blowing it. The expense of snuff, snuff-boxes, and handker- chiefs, will be the subject of a second essay; in which it will appear that this luxury en- croaches as much on the income of the snuff- taker as it does on his time; and that by a proper application of the time and money thus lost to the public, a fund might be con- stituted for the discharge of the National Debt."
"DIED, very suddenly, at New-Chester, the 23d inst. Mr. Benjamin Hubbard, aged 36 — the disorder uncertain; the circumst- ances are as follows: The evening previous to his death, he was at a neighbour's house, husking corn, until about ten o'clock; are supper there in health, returned home and went to bed; but being somewhat restless, he observed to his wife that he felt strangely, and complained of a pain in his stomach, which continued generally to increase till a- bout noon the next day, when he appeared to be quite tranquil and easy, until about four o'clock, at which time he resigned his Spirit. Thus in the space of 19 hours, from vigo- rous health to be reduced to the pallid hue of death, ought to admonish us to be also ready. A disconsolate widow and one child are left to bemoan the loss of an endearing husband and indulgent parent."
