POLITICAL.
From the Republican Farmer.
THE federalists, conscious that this country was not yet ripe for monarchical schemes, have hitherto thought prudent to assume the name of republicans, and deny their partiality for monarchy. In spite of every effort, however, the truth has come out. And now, the means which we before used to conceal their opinions, are used to defend them. They now make no secret of their monarchical predilections; and attempt to convince the American people, that republican governments can never be permanent, and to enforce this opinion they point to the Romans! the Romans! the Romans! This is all the cry. If you fall into controversy with one of these federalists, on the subject of republicanism, instead of confining himself to argument upon its nature and principles, he runs quite off the ground of dispute, and begins to call up the ghosts of the Romans, to tell how long they kept their liberty—by what means they maintained it—by what means they finally lost it—and a tedious harangue upon other circumstances in Roman history, which have no more connection with the subject in question than fire has with water. The people of the United States are as different from the ancient Romans, in every thing except the human shape, as one thing can be from another. It is granted that reasonable inferences may be drawn from history—but this can only be done where the ancient and modern instances constitute positions which bear relation to each other. It is absurd to say, that "if the Roman Republic could not stand, the American Republic must of course, shortly fall." It is like the sailor's question in the rule of three, "If a bushel of wheat cost so much, what will a cart load of turnips cost?"
"The ancient republics have fall-
en," say the federalists. So have ancient monarchies. Time lays his decaying hand with equal weight upon all, with respect to their political difference. Nations, like trees, have budded, blossomed, and reached the height of riches and splendor—and at the appointed time withered and decayed—nor has it availed them whether they bore the fruit or the thorn, the balm, or the poison. To say that because the Roman Republic fell, we ought not to try it, is as ridiculous as to say that because the Romans died, we ought not to try to live!
WAS a foreigner to see our Federal papers alone he would be induced to believe that the American editors were a body of traitors; who unanimously rejoiced at every evil resulting to their country, and lamenting every benefit derivable from our governors, and the advantages of our constitution—not informed that they are upheld by the subjects (if not sometimes by the government) of a foreign power, who support themselves in affluence and splendor, by the credit they procure, in the country to whose government they are attached, he would imagine this nation insensible to its own happiness, and envious alone to encourage those who affect to ridicule or actually calumniate our administrators. The despicable opinion he would thus be induced to form of the citizens of the United States, would at once be changed, when informed that an immense majority of our countrymen, know and duly appreciate the blessing of a free constitution, administered by the men of their own choice—that the tory presses are supported generally speaking, by foreign importing merchants alone, and that the circulation of the republican papers, is among the pride of our country, and the existence of many of them, altogether owing to the liberal patronage of the agriculturists of the nation—he would from this fact be able to judge, how it is that monarchical papers are supported in America, because he would know that the monarchists residing principally in towns, and having a command of the advertising custom, are enabled to support such traitorous publications, but that it is by the people alone, that the republican papers are supported, hence this very circumstance, which at a first glance appears unfavorable to the American character, is most honorable to its republicanism.—We were led on to these remarks, by the vain attempts made by the tory editors, to ridicule the effusions of joy exhibited on the 12th of May, the day appointed for the celebration of the cession of Louisiana, while these very papers wanted to plunge the country in war, for the possession of a very small part of what is thus peaceably acquired. We hope every honest man, every true friend of his country, will ask his own heart, why this body of men not only refused to partake of the national joy, but attempted to ridicule those who did—let him ask himself whether the acquisition was or was not desirable? and let him duly consider whether an honest man who declares himself attached to the happiness of his country and the principles of this government, acts correctly, when he encourages and supports the proprietors of such publications.
Alex. Expositor.
The Port-Folio tells its readers that "Mr. Jay is preparing to favour the world with a comment on the Prophecies, a subject on which he has bestowed much thought and attention." This is indeed worthy of the author of the British Treaty, and we are pleased to hear he has bestowed much thought and attention on any subject. Had he done as much in all the important articles of his famous treaty, we should not have witnessed the degradation of the United States, and the world might have given him some credit for diplomatic skill, and a knowledge of the subject, which certainly was not exhibited by him in a negotiation, that finally terminated in a long list of commercial restrictions, and placed his country almost at the feet of England. What should we say of an Ambassador, who acknowledged he did not know that any Cotton was produced in the United States, at the time of making the Treaty, and who thought we were perfectly safe in prohibiting its exportation to Europe: but as if his

ignorance was not to end here, and his country was not sufficiently humbled, what must be the opinion of all competent judges, when they are told Mr. Jay further stipulated that the United States should "not export any Sugar, Coffee, &c. to any part of the world." Men of reflection were astonished when they read the article, and some went so far as to suppose it was intended to confine our ships to the carrying of lumber, beef and pork, from the Northern, and tobacco, rice and flour from the southern and middle States. True it is, had not the 12th article of the Treaty been rejected, our whole export trade in foreign articles, must have been destroyed, and as Cotton was included (which is now exported to the amount of ten millions of dollars) our tonnage must have been reduced one half; the commercial capital would have disappeared, and our merchants become bankrupts; while Britain would have reaped the whole profit of the commerce carried on between the old and new world. Even with the rejection of the article alluded to, the Treaty placed our commerce on the most unfavourable footing. It speaks of reciprocal advantages, and the advantages, were all on the side of England; but we have laboured through a ten years of subjugation, humiliation, sailing and prayer, and the whole Treaty has now expired. It is dead, and may its disgraceful restrictions never be revived. If ever a new treaty is formed with Great Britain, (but we see no necessity for any commercial treaty except we secure very favourable terms indeed) may it be conceived in open and liberal policy, and new security be obtained for the extension of our neutral and just rights on the ocean. (Salem Register.)
The following Extract from a publication in a late federal New-England paper, with hundreds of others, of nearly the same import, ought to be read and thought of—Sentiments like these, as they come from but a small minority of the nation, are not perhaps alarming—but they shew plainly what some folks, would do if they could, and dictate the propriety of keeping a watch upon their movements.
"When a series of Depredations have been committed by the Chief Magistrate upon the rights of the people, against which gentle remonstrances have been offered with no avail, they are authorised to speak with a voice of thunder, and challenge a redress at the point of the sword."
The foregoing is but one of a thousand paragraphs similar in spirit and design which are daily circulated in most of the federal papers in the Eastern States. What can be the design of the writers and publishers of such sentiments? It certainly is not persuasion—it is not with the hope of gaining partisans to their cause. Even they have too high an opinion of the discretion and good sense of the American people, to apprehend that they can be won over by such means to oppose their constituted agents, or driven into insurrection by such excitements. The object must certainly be mere insult and provocation, and a hope of pulling the present Administration to vindicate themselves by public prosecutions, the passing of "Sedition Laws," or some other measures of retaliation or redress—which these writers would then represent to be persecuting, oppressive and inconsistent with the former professions of those who adopted them. If this is their will and expectation, it is pretty sure they will not be gratified. The only punishment which a Republican should with them (and surely they are experiencing enough of that) is, the neglect and abhorrence of considerate men, and their own mortification and chagrin. What can be more an object of contempt and disdain, than to see a class of men indulged without restraint in the uttering of such provoking, scandalous and seditious sentiments as we daily read, and even exciting their countrymen to meet the Chief Magistrate "at the point of the sword," and yet under all this impunity and toleration, complaining bitterly about persecution, intolerance, and "deprecations upon their rights." The honest and candid of all parties are seriously requested to look for a moment upon this picture, and consider "what manner of persons," these are, and what are their objects? P. Sun.
Were the Federalists to take as much pains to support the Government, as they do to overturn it—were they as liberal of just applause to the Constituted Authorities, as they are of unmerited censure—did they evince as great a disposition to harmonize, as they do to disorganize—we should be the happiest, because we are the freest. People which ever existed. We wish they would make the experiment—would cease from their foul abuse and false accusation of those who have been constitutionally appointed to make and administer the laws—and leave off discoloring and misre-
presenting measures calculated to establish our freedom, increase our strength and confirm our happiness—would desist from their denunciations and anathemas against all who differ from them in principle—and see if our country would be less respectable less prosperous, or less happy?
If a Standing Army should be raised in the United States, and Tracy should be appointed Commander in Chief, it is tho't by many, that each Soldier will be provided with a good leather apron, that the Army may appear in uniform. And if Latimer should be appointed Commissary, each Soldier will draw one herring and one potatoe per day, for his "daily bread." This will be good times for Royal Soldiers!
BY THE LAST MAILS.
CHARLESTON, MAY 19. THE French ship African, (formerly the sloop of war Herald, in the United States service) captured some time since by the English brig Garland, of this port was yesterday in the District Court, determined to be a lawful prize to the captors. The French troops were landed from her yesterday afternoon.
NEW-YORK, JUNE 11. SAD NEWS.
Extract of a letter from an officer to his friend in Philadelphia, dated "Tri-poli, March 6."
"Since my last, we have been closely confined, which makes our time very disagreeable. A few days past, at the instigation of our carpenter, three of the crew were put in irons, and received 150 lashings each. He has not yet turned Turk, but I expect he will in a few days, as he has left the prison, and lives with our guard. Four of our crew have turned already."
"For this week past, the Bathaw's child, a favourite wife, has been sick with the croup (as the Doctor calls it). He called on our Doctor four days after the child's illness, when he pronounced it, dangerously ill.—The Bathaw immediately offered him his liberty provided he would cure the child. It recovered, and is at present well; but not a word more said about the Doctor's liberty. During the last two days, we have lost ten of our crew."
JUDGE BOWEN.
The Governor of Georgia has removed Judge Bowen, from office, at the request of the two Branches of the Legislature. The following are the charges which were preferred against him:
EXHIBITED AGAINST JABEZ BOWEN. FIRST, That the said Jabez Bowen, actuated by motives unworthy of and highly criminal in a Judge, did, in or about the month of January last past, burn or destroy a certain Record of the Superior Court of the county of Chatham, that is to say, a certain plea or answer of Thomas Gibbons, to an action instituted against him, in the said court, by Oliver Bowen, deceased.
Second—That the said Jabez Bowen, regardless of the sacred duties of his office, the laws of the land, peace and safety of the state and inhabitants thereof, did, on the 23rd day of April last past, in the Superior Court of the county of Chatham, while presiding as Judge, utter and deliver, under the title or color of a charge to the grand jury, an extra-judicial speech or address, containing principles in the highest degree dangerous to the lives and properties of the good people of the state, tending to excite insurrection, and to involve the country in all the horrors of domestic warfare.
Third—That the said Jabez Bowen, did, at divers times and places, endeavor to promote and incite insurrection by holding converse with slaves tending to inflame their minds and otherwise, and threatening to raise and head such insurrection himself, and destroy all the white people in the country.
Fourth—That the said Jabez Bowen, did, on the 24th day of April, illegally commit the grand jury of the county of Chatham, to the common jail of the said county, for barely exercising their constitutional right and duty, of presenting persons & crimes, and daring to disapprove and censure the said violent and inflammatory charge or address, delivered to them, by him the said Jabez Bowen as aforesaid.
Fifth—That the said Jabez Bowen, forgetful of the dignity of his office, and in derogation of the same, did go to the Court house of the said county of Chatham armed, and did there, while on the bench, and during the sitting of the court, draw forth and present a pistol at and against a multitude of citizens there assembled, using at the same time the most violent and indecent language.
Sixth—That the said Jabez Bowen, in violation of his duty, and of the respect and obedience due to the state,
the Legislature, and the Laws, hath insulted the dignity of the state and endeavoured to bring its Legislature and Laws into contempt. By which said several crimes and misdemeanors, the said Jabez Bowen hath rendered himself unworthy the high and dignified office of a Judge of this State."
At the Court in Charleston, S. C. COLIN MITCHELL, has been convicted of enlisting two men for the British Privateer Experiment, and sentenced to pay a fine of 200 dollars and be imprisoned 30 days.—Joseph Swain has been indicted for a similar offence.
SUICIDE.
On Tuesday, the 24th of April, Henry Grymes, of Bath County, (Virginia) under the influence of delirium, broke his skull with a stone! After having shattered it, he took out a large piece about three inches long and two broad. Concluding that this would not put a period to his existence, he thrust his fingers into his head, and tore out a considerable quantity of his brains! Instead of immediate death, he instantly returned to the full exercise of reason, and walked home, the distance of a quarter of a mile, where he died the Thursday evening following. He appeared very penitent and rational until he expired, and in the mean time gave to his friends the above statement of the melancholy transaction. The cause of his derangement is not certainly known, but it is believed to have been a disappointment in marriage. Through the whole of his life, he supported an unspotted character.
ROGUES GONE!
On the night of Wednesday last the prisoners confined in the goal in this town, for making counterfeit money, made their escape. The doors were unlocked by some person from without and left open, and were found in this situation the next morning. The names of those escaped are Timothy Call, Daniel Call, Wm. Gilman, John Silver, John Stewart, William F. Ayres, and Ephraim Bailey. Their escape had undoubtedly for some time been premeditated, as several of them left manuscripts behind them, of a taunting threatening nature. Among other threats of their file leader, the noted Tim'y Call, was one, that they would "soon be in a situation to furnish the public with thousands and perhaps, millions of this genuine paper money."
Yesterday a pewter key, which was used in unlocking the outer door, was found a few rods from the goal, between that and the bridge below the prison.
INTERESTING STORY.
On the 6th March a gentleman was accosted in the street St. Martins, at Paris, by a beautiful little girl, about six years of age. She was covered with rags, and told him that her mother was dying for want, on the fifth floor of a house in the same street, and that for herself, she had not ate a morsel for forty eight hours. Touched with compassion, the gentleman said he would follow her home, and if he found her story true, relieve her and her mother. On entering the room, he saw a woman laying on a bed, on some straw, instead of a matras. Her looks and voice seemed to confirm the story of the child. In taking his purse from his pocket, it fell down by accident on the floor; & stooping to take it up, he saw clearly a man under the bed. Alarmed, but without losing his presence of mind, he said—"Good woman, here are four crowns, I have no more upon me, but let your child accompany me home, I will give her twenty more." Instead of returning home to his lodgings, he took the child to a Police Commissary, where after some examination, she acknowledged that the person under the bed was her father, and that within the last fortnight, during which they had lodged in the Street St. Martins, six persons had been stabbed by him, plundered and stripped; that two corpses had been carried out by him after dark, some nights before, and thrown into the river, but that four corpses yet remained in the closet behind the bed. The Police Commissary, with the gentleman and some Gens d'Armes, went immediately to the house, but they found nothing but the four corpses in the closet. The man and woman were gone, and have not since been heard of. In consequence of the discovery made by the child six former lodgings of this cruel couple have been traced, where, according to her report, and several other circumstances within the knowledge of the Police, during the last winter, no less than 22 persons of both sexes are supposed to have been murdered by them. It was the custom for the woman as from gratitude to take hold of her benefactors hands and draw them to her lips as she lay in bed, when the man stole behind and stabbed them through their backs. Madame Murat has taken the child under her protection, and pays for her education.
New-Hampshire Legislature.
THE GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS.
To both branches of the Legislature, on declaring his acceptance of the Office of Chief Magistrate:—
"Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Senate; Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives."
"By a respectable Committee from the Legislature, I have been informed of my appointment to the Office of Chief Magistrate for the year ensuing. In times past, while endeavouring to discharge the duties of the Office according to the best of my abilities, with integrity and a strong attachment to the welfare of my fellow citizens; my principles and conduct have in many instances been grossly misrepresented—There are undoubtedly solid reasons which might induce many of my fellow citizens to prefer some other person for the Office. In addition to these, extraordinary exertions have been made, not only within, but from without the State to prevent my election. That my fellow citizens have again called me to the Office, notwithstanding those exertions, demonstrates my most sincere and warmest acknowledgements."
"Considering it honorable, for men who are called to important offices to have their political sentiments known, my own have never been disguised. I am, and have uniformly endeavoured to be, a Federalist of the WASHINGTON school, so far as I understand those principles; and believing they are best calculated for maintaining the honor and dignity of our country—for preserving the Union of the States, and the Peace, Liberty, and Safety of my fellow citizens—it is my duty to promote those principles, so far as I may, with propriety, in strict conformity to the Constitution and Laws of our National and State Governments."
"I now declare my acceptance of the appointment, and am ready to take the oath of Office required by the Constitution."
The following RESOLVES were presented and passed;
WHEREAS, in the present prosperous state of our common country, many of the presses of the United States are daily teeming with abuse and invective against the constituted authorities of our General Government:
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives, in General Court convened, That they view with regret and disapprobation the disorganizing sentiments inculcated through the medium of a free press, apparently designed to alienate the affections of the people from the General Government, and to abuse and vilify the President and principal officers of the United States.
Resolved, That they congratulate their fellow citizens throughout the Union, upon the happy result of those measures of the General Government, which have secured to us those rights which were lately invaded, without an appeal to arms.
Resolved, That they repose full confidence in the present administration of the General Government, and rest assured that such measures will continue to be pursued as shall most effectually preserve the peace, secure the commercial rights and maintain the general interest of the Union; and, having the fullest confidence in the justice, benevolence and wisdom of the President of the United States, they do hereby express their unalterable determination to co-operate with the General Government, in all necessary and proper measures to preserve the Union, to establish justice, to insure domestic tranquility, to provide for the common defence, to promote the general welfare and to secure the blessings of Civil liberty.
The above resolves passed the Senate 7 to 5, and the House by a majority of 13—Their propriety and usefulness must appear evident to every considerate and well-meaning person, to every unprejudiced and honest man; yet, notwithstanding any solid or well-founded argument cannot be adduced against their adoption, the federal members entered the following protest, which we lay before our readers as a satisfactory proof of the inconsistency of federalists, and the necessity of not confiding to an unprincipled band, the Executive of the State—But their day of triumph is past—their course is run, and we have to rejoice, that while they are enabled to bark, they cannot bite. Editors.
From these resolutions we feel ourselves bound, by the conviction of our own minds, and the duty we owe our constituents, to enter our dissent for the following reasons, viz.—1st. In the present state of the public mind it is, in our view, the wisest tendency of the above resolutions to increase the flame of party contentions which already threaten the destruction of our happy country.
2d. It is our decided opinion that the acquisition of New-Orleans, which appears to be referred to in the above resolutions, might have been obtained not only without the probable expense of blood, but without that profusion of treasure which has been expended in its purchase; and at the same time we consider the unwieldy and undefined territory, thereby annexed to the United States, as deranging the relation of this State to the General Body, and thus threatening in its final operation, one of the most fearful calamities, a total dissolution of that confederation, on which we conceive our strength and safety essentially depends, and also as opening a door by its extension and unguarded frontier to every invading foe.
3d. Altho' we feel ready to exert whatever of influence we possess, against that perversion of a free press, by which the General or State Government, or any particular member of the same are unduly dignified; and scruple not to declare our unalterable determination to co-operate in all measures which appear conducive to the Public Good, yet we are sorry to be compelled to say, that many measures of the General Government will not permit us to repose that entire confidence in its justice, benevolence or wisdom which those resolutions express.

TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1804.
Extract of a letter from Concord.
In two instances the newly acquired Republican majority in our Legislature, have displayed a consistency, firmness and disinterested attachment to principle, that will do them immortal honor. I allude 1st, to the dismissal of the old Treasurer—and 2d, to their leaving the choice of Electors to the People, when they themselves might have elected them, as the Federalists have heretofore done. The old Treasurer perhaps, possessed the affections of the People, in a higher degree than any man has done before him—but he had held the office for 12 years; during which time, the Treasury had been under his sole direction, not even a committee of the Legislature could ever get a peep into the public chest; and tho' even from this circumstance, no suspicion attached to his character, yet from the nature of the office, it was proper there should be a change once in a few years. So sensible is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts of the necessity of frequent changes in this office, and so severely have they suffered from a long continuance of the same person in it, that they have by law, rendered any person incapable of holding it for more than 3 years—Such a law is very desirable in this state, and will it is thought, engage the attention of the Court at their next session—To this necessary principle, did many patriotic members in the late choice, sacrifice their personal attachment, and such conduct ought and will be duly honored by their constituents; with regard to the 2d instance, I have mentioned, of their adherence to principle, viz. leaving the choice of election of President and Vice-President to the People, whom like the feds on former occasions, they themselves might have chosen them. They have in this instance, evinced the sincerity of their regard to the rights of the people, which the feds have ever treated with contempt. When the feds had the power of declaring, who should make the choice, they determined that the People could not be trusted with the exercise of the rights, and therefore seized on it themselves. They then averred, that the Republicans would do the same, had they the opportunity—Providence in his wisdom, has now afforded them the opportunity, but in restoring to the People, their rights, they have in this as in many other instances, by their virtuous conduct, given the federalists the lie.
AMENDMENT of the CONSTITUTION.
WE are happy in being enabled to acquaint our readers with the amendment of the Constitution, in designating the President and Vice-President, having been adopted in the House of Representatives by a majority of nine. Several republican members were at the time absent. In the Senate the Ayes were—
Storer, Gilman, Bradley, Smith, Alcock, Allen, Waldron.—7.
Nays—Orr, Taylor, S. Payson, Kimball, M. P. Payson.—5.
Though the Amendment would have passed, without the concurrence of this state, every friend to the Constitution and his country will rejoice to learn such welcome tidings from a state, so lately devoted to far different sentiments, and for a number of years so entirely degenerated from those glorious principles so eminently displayed, when on a former occasion, they faced a common foe. The delusion is past, the vail is removed, and a far different scene will shortly open to our view. New-Hampshire is saved from ruin—New-Hampshire is Republicanized.
THE TRIUMPHINGS OF KEENE.
On Saturday of last week, "light-heeled Sir Mercury," herald of federalism, from his rapid excursion o'er the high hills and through the air to Concord, returned and lit again in Keene, and proclaimed the important tidings that Gov. Gilman is re-elected. The event was announced with Stentorian voice—the majority as in the sickly accents of a dying man. The lungs of the herald were instantly afflicted by metal, and the splendid triumph, was honored with a ding-dong-bell. Federalism from her low condition, looked up, and smiled faintly once more, before she departs to that land from whose bourne no traveller returns.
Political Observatory.
Nothing perhaps shews the weakness of federal printers more than the praises, so foolishly and inconsistently bestowed upon the Governor's Address to the Legislature. By some it has been called magnanimous and "time" we are told, "shall not wither the wreath which this act has placed on his brow." What wreath? Horrid perversion of common sense. But more absurdity yet; he is denominated one of "the worthies of this age" and his address has been the means of shewing his "true spirit and high honor." When will tory printers cease to display the weakness of their despicable fashion? When will their editors be wise and consistent? The Boston Centinel, has dignified the address with terming it "spirited." We lament that the editor, seemingly so well acquainted with the term "spirited," has never yet had the spirit to combat the folly of his writings; we might then expect his press to issue less numerous misrepresentations. We have inserted the "magnanimous, spirited and high honored" address, but we leave to our readers to comment on it.
The Centinel has endeavoured to repel the statement of Republican prints, as respects the re-election of Governor Gilman, by a minority of the people, by "undertaking to assert," that, had every vote given in the state, been regularly returned, that Governor Gilman would have been re-elected by the suffrages of a majority of the citizens of New-Hampshire." Whether ignorance, a desire to impose untruths upon the credulous or to maintain that federalism is still leading the citizens of this state captive, caused said erroneous statement to be made, we are ready, proof in hand to support and vindicate the truth of our assertions.
Governor Gilman, it is well known, was re-elected by a "lank" majority of 74. The towns illegally and otherwise not returned, are fourteen, namely, Society-land, Piermont, Stratford, Shelburne, Britton-woods, Cambridge, Colebrook, Dalton, Dummer, Errol, Jefferson, Kilkenny, Milford and Success, and it is worthy of remark that these had a respectable majority for the Republican candidate. We shall not enter into the reasons or motives of the remissness of so many town clerks or the probable fraud, which may lurk behind this evident neglect, but shall content ourselves with affirming, that these towns would, if duly returned, have yielded more than a sufficient number of votes, to insure the election of the Republican candidate. For the truth of this statement, we solemnly pledge ourselves to the public & challenge the Centinel and his whole fraternity, to prove to the contrary. So much for federal lies!
We are happy to inform the public that there is a Post Office established in Moultonborough, in this State, and that GEORGE FREESE, Esq. has been appointed Post Master.
At the capture of Surinam by the British two of the Dutch forts were carried by storm. In one fort a Dutch Officer set fire to a magazine, and blew up himself and 30 Englishmen, including one or two Officers.
Counterfeiting. —Thomas Logwood, a man of considerable property, has been convicted at the Federal Court in Richmond, V. on four indictments for counterfeiting Bank Bills, and sentenced to ten years imprisonment and to a fine of 500 dollars. The sufferers by his villainy will seek indemnity from his estate.
A gentleman who left New-York on Friday, gives information, that a few cases and deaths of yellow fever had occurred in that city the beginning of the week;—that though some of the wealthy people appeared to be alarmed; the alarm was not general; nor had any new cases occurred at 9 o'clock, on Friday morning.
A Medical Well.
In Scott county, Kentucky, on the waters of Lacount's run, about ten miles from George-town, twenty from Lexington and fifteen from Frankfort.
The water of this well possesses the qualities of the Salt and Sulphur Springs at the Mud Lick; but much more efficacious as the qualities are combined in the same water, and may properly be called a Saline Sulphuric Medicinal Well. The efficacy of the above water was confirmed by the experience of last year. It is equal to any in the state of Kentucky, or any other state, in curing many of those maladies which infest and weaken the human constitution. The efficacy of the water combined with its central and convenient situation to the most populous parts of the state makes it of much greater public utility. Last season, from 50 to 100 people attended this spring, among whom many uncommon and extraordinary cures were effected by drinking the water. The roads to this Medicinal Spring, from the different populous parts of this country, are very good, and carriages may pass with convenience. Preparations are making for the accommodations of visitants.
INHUMANITY!
Capt. JOHN SEAWARD, of the brig Natalia, arrived in this town last week. He failed from Old York on the 15th December last, and on the 19th of the same month was upset, lost both masts, and filled; the deck load was also lost, and compasses, quadrant, and shipping papers, were destroyed. Mr. Matthew Darby, mate, and Mr. John Lambdy, seaman, of Old York, were drowned in their cabin, and Mr. John Eather, of Berwick, was washed overboard. In this situation they fell in, on the 28th December, with 28 sail of English shipping, viz. one a decker, one frigate, and 26 sail of merchantmen, from the West Indies. Capt. S. spoke with several of them, and explaining the dreadful situation he was in, besought them to take him and the remaining crew from the wreck—but their answer was, "go down to the Commodore." This they knew Capt. S. could not accomplish, as the wreck was not only filled with water, but had no other canvas upon her, than a top-gallant-sail for a fore-sail. They departed without giving him the least assistance. This, fellow citizens, is British inhumanity! It is such in their conduct toward us as friends, who are we to expect from them as foes? Traits like these, (when often repeated) will forever throw a blemish on the British nation. Federalists, it is possible you can so far forget your country's good and the happiness of fellow men, as to count the smiles, and read in the foolishness of those whose dark deeds no pen, however black, can represent in its true colors? For one be he wise, and learn to rise superior to prejudice. Look at the consequence of their conduct in this instance! Behold your fellow citizens exposed to the most imminent danger! They stood upon the brink of the grave, and though many Britons were near, no good Samaritan is found, to pour the oil and wine into their bleeding wounds. But enough—we leave you and them to the stings of your conscience, and to the gnawings of inward reproof.
Capt. Seaward remained on the wreck 62 days; 40 without fire—and exposed to the inclemency of winter; when he was taken from the wreck by Capt. Drinkwater, of the ship Ocean of Portland, from Savannah bound to Antwerp.
Capt. Seaward takes this public means of returning his heartfelt thanks to Capt. Drinkwater and crew, for their humanity and kindness toward him and his fellow sufferers.
MARRIED.
At Kensington, Mr. ISRAEL TWOMBLY to Miss MARY RICHARDS, both of Madbury.
In this town, Mr. JOTHAM COOK to Miss NANCY STOCKER—Mr. STEPHEN MELCHER to Miss SALLY HAYES.

STRANGE FEELINGS.
NEAR yonder cot upon the Moor, Whose grey smoke winds in many a curl, I met this morn a lovely girl, Knitting beside the cottage door. With many a modest damsel oft, I've squander'd foolishly my time, Play'd with their hands and cheeks so soft, Or hich'd them up in many a rhyme. But when I turn'd to go away; My bosom felt no tickling pain, And scarcely did I hear them say, I'd thank you Sir, to call again. But when I saw this lass so fair, Her floating eye so blue and round, Its lustrous light no more bear, But baulk'd look upon the ground. My jealous pride then took alarm; Face her, it whisper'd o'er and o'er; Look up, she cannot do thee harm, Did'st thou ne'er see a girl before. Rous'd from the dream, I rais'd my hat, And thought some civil thing to say; I look'd my heart went pit-a-pat, And glad was I to get away. Yet tho' I hurried from her sight, Roam wherefore e'er my footsteps will, That full blue eye, that face so bright, Will haunt me like a spectre still.
For the GAZETTE.
Messrs. PRINTERS, If you will publish the following Dream in your useful paper you will greatly oblige one of your country readers.
AND it came to pass as I was flitting in my chair, reading in the book of Judges a dream that one of the host of Midian told to his fellow concerning the cake of barley bread that tumbled into the host of Midian and smote a tent that it lay along—I inten- tively fell asleep, & had the following dream; I THOUGHT I was taken up by a whirl- wind and carried to the valley of deception on the river torrid—And as I was walking round looking off the place, I saw a large building near by, and I asked one that stood by me what it was for, and he told me that it was the New-Hampshire Federal Mill; so I thought I would take a nearer view of it —and on examining the construction thereof, I found the foundation of it was laid with old torridism, & the frame of it was Aris- tocracy, and it was boarded with pick-craft, shingled with British influence and painted off with hypocrisy. And as I stood contemplat- ing on this mighty object of Federal felicity, I saw the Spirit of Republicanism, like a torrent rushing over the hill of Federalism; and it came directly towards the mill and smote the four corners thereof, and it fell flat to the ground—and the noise was heard afar of even all over the State of New-Hamp- shire; And all the Federalists gathered to- gether to see the destruction of this famous mill. And when they had taken a view of the ruins, they were filled with vexation of spirit and hung down their heads and stood a long time in silence and amazement, think- ing on the sore trouble and affliction that had befallen them. At last one of them which I supposed to be a Lawver, rose up and spoke to the following effect: My Lords and Gentlemen, seeing we are brought into this dreadful situation by that destructive Spirit of Democracy that spreads over our land like a deluge, sweeping every thing before it, even our glorious tory-federal mill, that has stood so long in triumph and prosperity, and has been the subject of uni- versal praise by all the Tories, Aristocrats and friends of despotism in the United States, and in all Europe,—Now my dear Tory Aristocratic and Monarchical brethren, we must try some new scheme to kill this spirit of Democracy, or we shall be wholly undone forever, and fall never to rise any more; which to us you know would be dreadful, seeing we are the Lords of the land and possess all the virtue, all the grand talents of learning and all the acquire- ments of knowledge as well as all the religion and morality. I say, seeing we are a supe- rior race of mortals in comparison with the Democratic rabble, headed by Tom Jef- ferson and Tom Paine. It is high time for us to be up and doing before we are wholly cut down and trodden under foot by this despicable race of Democrats; Therefore, I think it will be best to choose a committee to see what further must be done; and to him they all agreed with one mind. Ac- cordingly a committee was chosen, who brought in the following report; Resolved, 1811, That as long as the Mill was broken down it would be in vain to rebuild it; and in case of difficulty, recourse might be had to the Massachusetts Federal Mill, or to Tracy's grand Monarchical wind mill, where the common people are to be ground down till they shall have no money to buy books or newspapers.
And moreover, every one of us will have some few screws and pullies, made upon a new construction, wherewith we can at any time wind up our imaginations to the highest pitch of self-complacency.—And this report of the committee was accepted unani- mously, and every one laid aside, to let it be.
And I beheld till the forge was crected, the the hammers going and Vulcan was sent for to come and make the screws and pullies, for every Tory Federalist stood in gaping expectation to receive them.—And while I was thinking on these things, I heard a great noise behind me, and looking round I saw Vulcan coming with his cyclops; which, with the universal shouts of the whole host of Federalists, so terrified me that I fell out of my chair, which awoke me, and behold it was a dream.

DOCTOR COOLEY'S VEGETABLE ELIXIR, or COUGH DROPS.
A REMEDY far exceeding every other yet used, for Consumption, Asthmas, Spitting of Blood, Coughs, Short- ness of Breath, and every other species of disease to which that organ of life, the lungs, is perpetually exposed. Complaints of the lungs have always been considered the Opprobria Medicinæ , (or reproach to the art of physic) and it has long been a desideratum in Medical Science, that a remedy might be devised, which should check this wide outlet to human life. The many thousands which yearly fall a sacrifice to this insidious disease, Phthisis Pulmona- lis , or Consumption of the Lungs, has ever since my acquaintance with diseases (which is almost thirty years) so excited my com- miseration, that a large share of my time has been employed in investigating the cause and cure of it; and from my most unremitting attention and constant research, I have the happiness to proclaim to the world, that in my Vegetable Elixir , a speedy, safe, and effectual remedy is generally to be had.
It is not pretended that this medicine will cure every disease to which suffering hu- manity is liable, as is the case with most patent medicines; diseases which are as completely opposite as an acid and an alkali, they will all, are all to be cured by one simple remedy. Such weak impositions have with much propriety brought most patent drugs into disrepute. But the Vegeta- ble Elixir is calculated for one class of diseases only, viz. those to which the lungs are exposed, and I need not observe that they terminate in consumptions. The pre- cursors or harbingers of this hitherto in- tractable malady (until the discovery of the Vegetable Elixir ) are Spitting of Blood, Pains in the Breast and Sides, Coughs, Dif- ficulty in Breathing, and a great number of complaints, which tender and delicate fe- males are so frequently labouring under, which if attended to immediately on their commencement, will easily be obviated; and those in the last stages will be much alleviated, and many of them effectually cured. Price 75 cents a bottle. Portsmouth, June 5, 1804.
