BY THE LAST MAILS.
NEW-YORK, APRIL 3.—We learn by the ship Octavia, Capt. Hazard, from the Mediterranean, that as the English ship Aurora of 22 guns and a frigate were conveying a large fleet, near the Barbary coast, they were attacked by two French frigates—in the engagement the Aurora was blown up, and the frigate taken, with twenty sail of merchantmen.
Captain Fowler, from St. Croix, informs us that the French fleet in the West Indies have taken Nevis, the town of Basseterre in St. Kitts, and were going to Tortola.
Capt. Aborn, who arrived here yesterday in 14 days from St. Bartholomews, informs that the French fleet in the West Indies had taken and burnt all the vessels in the port of Basseterre (St. Kitts) laid the inhabitants under a contribution, and obtained 35,000. From St. Kitts, they went to Nevis, where they took all the shipping, and got 10,000 dollars by a contribution. They then proceeded (as was reported) to Montserrat. A vessel had arrived the day before the Sea Flower sailed with intelligence that the fleet intended to go to St. Vincents and Antigua, where the British were assembling all their forces to oppose them.
April, 4.—Captain Jenkins, from Leghorn and Gibraltar, informs us that about 37 sail of vessels had been driven ashore at Gibraltar the latter end of January.—The gale by which this injury was effected was experienced at Naples, where most of the vessels went ashore; amongst them the American ship Derby. Had the gale taken Leghorn in its course, the destruction of property would have been very
great, their being nearly eighty sail lying at quarantine in the open road, notwithstanding the epidemic ceased from the beginning of December.
We learn, by the captain of the brig Canton, that the English blockading squadron off Cadiz do not permit neutral vessels to enter. The day before the Canton failed, Messrs. Strage & Co. received a letter from Lisbon, mentioning the arrival there of a ship from Philadelphia, which had been boarded off Cadiz, had her register indorsed, and was turned away. Flour 22 to 25 dollars per barrel; at Lisbon and Malaga the price was reduced to 12.
A passenger in the Canton confirms the account we published yesterday of the capture of a British convoy in the Mediterranean by two French frigates. He adds that the Toulon fleet had found an opportunity to get out of port, and had arrived at Carthagena, where they were to be joined immediately by the Cadiz fleet of fifteen sail of the line; that an army of ten thousand men, destined for the siege of Gibraltar, had assembled at St. Roque; and that the Spanish privateer Podroso had captured and carried into Cadiz an English ship of 400 tons burthen, valued at 500,000 dollars.
An arrival at Baltimore, from Guadaloupe, in 22 days, reports, that the French squadron had taken Tortola, by storm; and passed Basseterre, the day he failed to attack St. Lucie. They made no attack on Antigua.
ST. DOMINGO.
April 9.—From Cape Francois, we learn, that on the 26th Feb. Gen. Christophe, attacked St. Jago, (in the interior of St. Domingo) at the head of 6000 men, and after a severe conflict with 1500 Spaniards, carried the place. The inhabitants were indiscriminately put to the sword. On the next day, this ferocious army marched against Santa Domingo.
DOVER, MARCH 16.
We hear from Madbury, that on Tuesday last, Mr. Jacob Joy, sen. of that place, put a period to his existence by hanging himself to the limb of a tree. It is not known what led him to perpetrate the unchristian-like deed—being in affluence, and enjoying all the domestic felicity, which a tender wife and dutiful children could afford. He was a man much respected, by all who knew him, for his probity and good understanding. It is said he was in a melancholy state of mind for a number of days previous to the event; but discovered no marks of insanity. In the morning of the day which terminated his life, he went out under pretence of seeing to some fence; but staying longer than expected, the family began to be alarmed, and procured assistance for the purpose of making search for him—when about 9 o'clock in the evening he was found in the condition above described.
For the New-Hampshire Gazette.
HAVING very lately perused a pamphlet, entitled, "a letter to a Federalist," supposed to have been written by a Gentleman in this town, we are thereby induced to believe that the author possesses a great attachment to the independent and constitutional rights and privileges of the American nation in the most extensive view, and by his discerning powers, and from an education replete with a general knowledge of men and measures distinguishing in a candid, polite, ingenious and masterly manner, between the artful designs of federal intriguers, and those who are the genuine professors and adherents of our national government.—He has exposed every instance of duplicity, whereby his friend has been made the dupe of Federalists; and strives in the most friendly and conciliatory terms to convince him of the danger which attends his political sentiments; but no sooner had the pamphlet made its appearance than the author thereof was violently attacked by the whole class of his opponents, as the production of a man—without sense, argument or reflection and they have ever provoked a pen of a vice distinguished fellow citizen to lampoon by parody and buffoonery, this truly sentimental and friendly Letter, with unusual severity; and like all such base and licentious publications, do not fail to stigmatize the character of the philosophical JEFFERSON, to whom the praise of such writers in his favour, would be considered by him as insinuer:—The author of the parody appears to be the dupe of that expiring faction the Essex Juntas the betrayers of Adams, and the enemies of JEFFERSON and our general government. Instead of reviling the President on malicious falsehood, had this parodist employed his fertile imagination on the nature of federal government and faulted the intriguing near thereof, for distributing the charities of some of the Essex Junto—He might afforded much entertainment to the public although at his own expense, and be yet once more restored to the favors of his many friends who consider his henpeck'd situation more to be pitied than envied.

Portsmouth,
Tuesday, April 16, 1805.
THE last accounts from the West-Indies, confirm all our former statements relative to the operations of the French squadron, in that part of the globe. They have captured all the floating property of St. Kitts, and laid the island under a military contribution of 35,000. At the small island of Nevis, they immersed the inhabitants in the sum of 9,000 dollars, and then failed for Montserrat. On the taking of Dominica, the French General did not forget that gallantry of character, which is so congenial to his nation; but treated the lady of Gen. Prevost, the British commandant, with every possible attention. There was a current report at Martinique, that a fleet of men of war, of 16 sail, had been seen off Barbadoes: this is probably a French fleet, as it cannot be supposed, agreeably to our accounts from Great-Britain that such a number of ships of war could have had an opportunity of collecting, receiving orders and arriving at that island on the period alluded to, (March eleven.)—The island of Tortola was in momentary expectation of a visit from this squadron, and many of the inhabitants had gone to St. John's (a Danish island) for refuge. Chron.
GENERAL VIEW OF N. H. LEGISLATURE FOR 1805.
GOVERNOR. Hon. John Langdon, republican, is elected by a majority of not far from 4000 votes. COUNCIL Will probably be composed of three republicans, and two federalists. SENATE May be likely calculated to contain seven republican members, to five federal—most probably eight to four—nor would nine to three surprise us. HOUSE OF REP. Double the majority of last year for republican-ism. P. Observatory.
TO THE PUBLIC.
WHEN about to retire from the fatigues and cares of a public avocation and to seek in the private walks of life, an employment more congenial to my health, it gives me much pleasure, when comparing the present with the time when first I intruded on your public notice—This State was then but too fatally alienated from the most respected of her sister States, and a prey to a calumniating and despicable faction;—its inhabitants were suffered to behold their rulers and the principles they professed and adhered to, through a false medium only—they were imperceptibly accelerating their own misery.—At last the magic spell is broke and truth has arisen upon the ruins of falsehood and deception.—The vivifying rays of the arisen sun of freedom have dispelled the thick mists of federalism, and shown the hideous monster in its true colours.—Our worthy patriot the Hon. JOHN LANGDON, is called to the helm of the State, and under his guidance we may safely entrust our best interests—he will conduct the bark to a secure haven, where she will be enabled to ride out federal tempests and storms, in security.—He will be supported by a respectable majority of the Citizens of this State.—Already I anticipate their cordial co-operation with the Executive of the United States—already I see them approve the measures of a truly great and honest man—President JEFFERSON—the worthy Representative of a respectable and powerful nation. The Representative I am confident is the only free government—May your honest and virtuous efforts, be directed to its firm support. It was the great the good Washington, who conducted you thither; if you prize his memory—tread in the paths he has trod before you.
Accept, ye friends to freedom my congratulations on this happy change—and on the brilliant prospect which expands to our view.
To those who have so liberally supported the establishment in which I was interested, I tender my grateful acknowledgments, and to their continued patronage beg leave to recommend a brother upon whom will devolve the conducting of the NEW-HAMPSHIRE GAZETTE, persuaded that he will not relax in his endeavours to give general satisfaction; my efforts have continually tended to the same end and however feeble, have ever been honest and sincere.
It is my earnest wish that you may enjoy peace and prosperity and persevere in duly appreciating the blessings of our present happy Republican Government.
I am the Public's obdt. and grateful servant, WASHINGTON PEIRCE. Portsmouth, April 16, 1805.
We observe by the Carolina Gazette of the 1st instant, that General Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, the federal Candidate for President of the United States, was on the preceding Monday re-elected President of the Charleston Club!—what infidel dare hereafter doubt his fitness to preside over the United States of America!
CELEBRATION.
The election of President and Vice-President of the United States, was celebrated at Gilmanton on Thursday 11th March. The day was ushered in by several discharges from the artillery, under the command of Capt. Rufus Parrish; at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the citizens convened at the house of Samuel French, where after making choice of the Hon. J. Bangs, President, and Col. Dudley Prescott, Vice-President, the following toasts were drank, accompanied severally by discharges from the artillery:—
 1. The President of the United States—Long may he live a blessing to a grateful people.  2. Geo. Clinton, Vice-President—We welcome the day on which he was elected.  3. The memory of the immortal Washington—May his virtuous example be a Polar Star to succeeding generations.  4. Hon. John Langdon—A true friend to his country and the rights of his fellow citizens.  5. Peace and happiness to the State of New-Hampshire.  6. New England—We anticipate the day that shall regain her influence in our National Congress.  7. Connecticut & Delaware—We would welcome their return to the principles of '75, and we fervently hope that the effluent rays of liberty will ere long dissipate those clouds of aristocracy, which have long been hanging over their devoted heads.  8. Louisiana—Welcome filler, to the plains of liberty.  9. Virginian influence—A bugbear brooded by the Essex Junto, may it frighten none but Ely and his "sisters-on."  10. The union of the States—May it bid defiance to the shibboleths of time.  11. The Pulpit—No more the sacred desk be converted to a political rostrum.  12. Public Schools—May they ever remain founts of correct information, that science may eradicate the mind of every American.  13. The Navy of the United States.  14. Commodore Preble—With the thunder of his cannon he has convinced the old world that the hardy sons of Columbia will not tamely submit to pay tribute to petty tyrants.  15. John Adams, late President of the United States—May his aristocratic demeanor be a terror to future Presidents.  16. The county of Strafford—Full returning to first principles.  17. The Fair Sex of New-Hampshire.  VOLUNTEERS.  1. By the President—The 4th of March, the day we celebrate.  2. By Mr. N. Latham—The memory of those heroes whose blood sealed the Declaration of our Independence.  3. By Mr. D. Leavitt—May the political scales fall from all anti-republican eyes.  4. By Mr. C. Selden, Preceptor of Gilmanton Academy—May the rays of scientific light dispel the clouds of ignorance, and perseverance remove the key-stone that covers truth.  5. By Mr. Wm. Cogswell—May we long maintain that Independence which was purchased by the blood of our fathers.  6. By Adj. Wm. Badger—The hardy sons of New-Hampshire—may they never want courage nor ability to defend the soil which their nervous arm has converted from a wilderness to a field of fruitful abundance.  7. By Dr. D. Jacobs—The tree of liberty, which sprung up in America—may it continue to flourish with perpetual verdure under a republican government, till time shall be no more.  Perfect order and decorum were observed through the whole proceeding; and the citizens, at an early period, retired to their several homes. Communication. —I understand that the Portsmouth Artillery company are now recruiting, and a few vacancies remain to be filled up, and as we learn that the militia have recovered from its late indisposition, will positively make their public appearance shortly; therefore I hope no enterprising citizen will let so good an opportunity slip, but will foldiely step forward and join that beautiful company of Artillery, while an opportunity proffers, altho' many doubting, may say that the militia will not come out this season; to such I would only observe, that the times have altered—the militia will positively be ordered out according to law, which I have from undoubted authority, any thing to the contrary notwithstanding. Z.
A Correspondent is happy to observe, an advertisement in the papers, of a Mr. Clark of Greenland, having intentions of coming to this town to keep a school for Misses, a circumstance greatly desired by many, as the few schools already here are so thronged by scholars, that it is impossible they can reap the benefit of the money their Parents have to pay for them. On first observing the advertisement of Mr. Clark's, I concluded to send my Children to him, and therefore made particular inquiry respecting his character, and reputation as an instructor, and am informed he has taught a school in Greenland for 15 years to universal approbation; and has always sustained an unimpeachable Character.—A gentleman like this, coming to this town, with his views, must be esteemed an acquisition, and it is to be hoped, those who have Children, will come forward immediately, and encourage the school contemplated by Deacon Clark.

The inhabitants of the town of Portsmouth, are requested to notice, and observe the following Regulations, made and published agreeably to law; for the preservation of health in the town.
ALL persons having vaults overflowing, or whose contents are so near the surface of the earth as to be a nuisance, or having stagnated waters in cellars, dung in heaps, or filth in or about their yards, barns or houses, are to have such nuisances removed immediately, before the warm weather shall commence. It is the with of the health Committee, to save trouble to such persons, and to themselves, but the cleanliness and health of the Town must be provided for, and if such nuisances are not removed within thirty days from this day, they will be removed as the Law directs. And it is requested, that information be given of filth left in any part of the town, such information will be thankfully received, and the way it came will be concealed. All funks running on the surface of the ground in the streets are to be sunk below.
No dead animal, offensive substance, or filth of any kind is to be left in any streets, lanes, alleys, or on any wharf or dock, and every person offending in this particular must expect to be prosecuted and fined. And in regard to Quarantine—
The Health Committee have found that the health of the inhabitants has been greatly endangered, and the town has suffered much in time past, from deceit practiced, and false answers given by vessels arriving at the Port, when hailed from the Fort. It was therefore thought proper and necessary in the year 1803, when Quarantine commenced, that all vessels from the West-India Islands, the Dutch and Spanish main, from the Straights of Gibraltar, and from ports within them, or from any port or place where any contagious distempers should in fact be prevalent, should, on their arrival at this port, immediately come to anchor for inspection; that the lives and health of the citizens might not be endangered by infection brought to town. The commanding officer at Fort Constitution was to bring all such vessels to an anchor, and hoist a red flag as a signal for the Health Committee to repair on board, or send some suitable person or persons on board, for the purpose of inspection and examination.—These regulations were made and carried into execution; careful examination took place on the part of the Health Officers. In cases where no sickness had taken place during the voyage, and no infection apprehended; the vessels had permits to come directly up to the town—Where infection was found, or justly suspected to be on board, or where sickness was or had been on board, or death during the voyage, the vessels were carefully smoked and cleaned, and when sufficiently purified, permission was given them to come up to town, or go elsewhere at their pleasure. The same orders and regulations were continued, were in force and duly executed the year past, and will be continued and strictly enforced the current year; and if any master, officer, or any person on board any ship or vessel that shall arrive at this harbour, from any ports or places before mentioned, after the 15th day of May next, and before the first day of November next, shall be guilty of giving a false report when hailed at the Castle, or shall come up to the town, or suffer any of the people, or any passenger to go on shore, or shall suffer any person to go on board any such vessel, or carry or suffer any thing to be carried on shore therefrom, before being visited and inspected as aforesaid, every person, so offending, shall be dealt with as the law directs.
