HANOVER, JULY 3. A necessary Caution. We understand that Mr. Ephraim Smith, of Norwich (Vt.) lately had a young Cow due of a disorder called the murrain. After taking her hide off, the carcass was left exposed to some hogs, of which five ate freely, and in about 48 hours all of them died.
For the New-Hampshire Gazette.
Messrs. PEIRCE's,
I AM embarked very unexpectedly with the Editors of the Oracle, in a manner that calls on me to vindicate my honor, my reputation and my public principles—in the contest that will be lengthy, you will please to let me take the whole responsibility upon myself, as I sign my name, and am therefore accountable only, and first as a man of honor and spirit its constant accompaniment, I must necessarily add that I have given these Editors to understand, young and unexperienced as they manifestly appear to be, that they are cowards for two reasons; first, for calumniating a person who never gave them just provocation, and secondly, refusing to do him justice. I might be found wanting, if put to the trial, at present we are safe. In the pursuit of this vindication, I shall also necessarily have to deal with two of our leading Tories, whose names I shall also give with freedom, because I give my own, and what relates to them you have nothing to do with. These persons are Mr. John Pierce, and the honorable James Sheafe, Esq. late Senator, there are two others Mr. William Sheafe, his brother, and my brother in law: Mr. John Fisher, (my cousin by the marriage of his father with my father's sister,) on whose account only I feel the slightest repugnance in the publicity of the vindication, and the assertion of my principles, on whose account too I should at this moment arrest my hands unless the malice of those with whom he is connected, had driven me to such vindication, and will incidentally oblige me to name others that I should otherwise avoid naming—I shall waive all niceties of criticism, and may possibly fall into grammatical and other errors in which I shall be sure to be corrected, and take the liberty all along to correct their errors in my own way—as you perceive by the following strictures as they arise—the two first persons I have named, I take to be at the bottom of this public attack on my character, and therefore look farther for the real authors that are to link you and me with the public, whom I shall take the liberty to expose on my part as well and as thoroughly as I am able to do, whatever the success may be; or in the language of the lawyer, they employ whatever it may cost, two insignificant puppets of Printers would not else attract my notice—I beg to assure you I avow myself penman of part of the composition that would disgrace a school boy, and that part that begins it: But beg you will be particularly careful that the errors of the press may not be mistaken for composition, as in this instance that occurs to the over correct Editor and type setter, "or to his imported Connecticut penman, and beg him to take that air into his long twisical account of things." The passage that is complained of begins found about instead of round about , and the Editors may likewise get their imported Connecticut genius to pronounce the ou part of it properly for them, that is if he pronounces the ou as well as in his favorite word account —I confess the phrase is too familiar for the chaste, correct ears of such Editors, and for that reason, as I am to fall into the familiar which is by far the clearest style of writing, I shall keep it going. I am astonished that such incredulous Editors and their "imported Connecticut Genius" should have considered me the penman of the paragraph in the New-Hampshire Gazette, from the purity and strength of diction only—as I have the best reason to think those are the only demonstrations of the production of the foul bosom of the imported spirit of 76—a piece that appeared in the Republican-Ledger, in answer to "Lucius," that was attributed to me has the expression "that the composition would disgrace a school-boy"—I hope therefore that the errors of the Press in your paper may not again confound me with such a puerile fault .—To proceed by steps, and take the Oracle from the second "illuminated" column, the last page but one. "It is said by a celebrated writer that "an injury coupled with an insult, makes every man a party"—no such apothegm was ever found in any author, or was any wise, moral or good man ever found to pronounce such a sentence; why should an injury coupled with an insult make every man a party except the person injured or insulted, but, in the extent of the terms of the apothegm, how is any man injured or insulted, except by my poisonous Song. I solemnly profess that in my occasional Song I did not mean to injure or insult any man, much less a body of men, that political differences apart with exceptions, I might respect, and esteem, and I am sure those I mean respect and esteem me; or else their actions be like their words like the Editors of the Oracle.
Paragraph by paragraph—The next paragraph celebrates the BARD which stands now corrected and substituted for the word Band , for the country readers, "read the Oracle for the Country" of Tuesday preceding Saturday the 10th of July—in the last word Band , the country readers are to understand that every Gentleman instead of one man among the solitary few, if I may be allowed a solecism, who met at the Bridge where the principal shares are a considerable part of the property of my venerable Grand-father Mark Hunking Wentworth, and of which I am a proprietor—I beg pardon for this digression as I purpose to show his other immense property has been appropriated, or peculated, or managed, or thrown away, or sworn away : I refer myself or bring myself back, for I must be very correct to the topic of Gentleman if any Gentleman but the Poet of the Day , whom I am not obliged to name could bring himself to calumniate and abuse his very benefactor, whom he represents to be a beast in Jefferson's stall, with those beasts of Republicans, his Fellow-Citizens and Fellow-Townsmen—This benefactor , the poison Songster , whose heart has been as open as charity to the distress of the poor Poet : to refer again to the principle of a Gentleman I know not, or does any person who had the honor to attend Jefferson-Hall, on a day that every American has been used since the Spirit of 76 arose . I know not why we are calumniated and abused for meeting at a place called Jefferson-Hall or Washington-Hall, and celebrating that day by an innocent Song; for, from the same paper not one word except Tory , was exceptionable, and that word only applied to John Pierce and the honorable James Sheafe, except such who choose to
apply it, and I did not mean to extend the term further than to those who choose to apply it; however the Poet of the Day , who has selected the striking parts of a mirthful innocent Song might choose to apply it strictly true in substance, which as it regards Republicans, Republicans will please to judge for themselves, and to keep to the evidence of facts—it is a fact that those two honorable Gentlemen were immured in a jail at the land bank at Exeter, the residence of their favourite Deceum —vir the TEN years Governor for TORYISM . In my conclusion just? that no other Gentleman but the Poet of the Day , has ventured to say that we are beasts , unless they mean "the Reverend Clergy," whom they toss; for one I am certain had that body essential to our immortal as well as our mortal essences, been mentioned, I should have been filled with a sensation of Reverential Awe , altho' I will not agree that it is proper to toast the Body of the Clergy, after fifteen Toasts and a correspondent quantity of wine; that holy, pious, and revered class, the sacred ministers of the Supreme Being, who knows our hearts, the purity of our motives, and integrity of our principles—are they the beasts that are in the systems of hierarchy and antichrist, to be insulted in Jefferson's Stall, according to the canonical notion of infalling ?—If so I forgive it—the candid divine will perceive the tendency of this interrogation in the sequel of the history, that will probably make part of the literary, or partly literary, and perhaps the greater part illiterate contest now before the public, that turns upon the character and reputation of a republican.
Now for the song Washington Hall— "Curse on those lines, how well soe'er they flow, That tend to make one honest man my foe."
If any reasonable being knows what it means—unless to select the words of the poisonous, vile jacobin; the imported spirit of '76, the high-toned patriot, the true republican, and again the genuine spirit of '76, "All hail Liberty's call"—ringing praises: I must have either taken these words from the Poet of the Day , or he must have taken them from me, or else I must affiliate myself to that inflated, smell-fungus, file of the famous Poet . I consider the file of a Song on such an occasion, to be either a solemn ode, as in all other countries—or as a mirthful, appropriate song of the day, that will contribute to the general flock of hilarity—with innocence, or perpetuate the author by celebrity—the odes being preserved and handed down to posterity, to mark the wisdom and genius of the Poet , in the celebration of an historical period or achme of time—consider this ode, or song, or poetry of the day, and point out the parts of it that are to correspond and answer to the "flats in their courses that were to meet Siftera;" an old woman took a hammer in her hand, and drove a nail through the temples of Siftera, when he was asleep—another woman sang the song of triumph for such a great victory; and nobody but a drunken old woman draws the parallel betwixt that and the mighty fight against the republicans—contemptible enough—you see, Messrs. Printers , part of my learning in ancient and sacred history.—What is his fairie?—The name of JEFFERSON who more than a "prophet in his own country," derives lustre from the eulogy and commendation of the best informed politician in Europe, that is Lord HAWKESBURY in England, that Mr. JEFFERSON is the greatest Statesman in America, and follows the steps of the illustrious WASHINGTON; it is he that vibrates between France and England for the momentous interests of America at this moment. What Mr. John Pierce or the honorable James Sheafe, Esq. may know or fear, I am not to know, but I am very confident from what I know, that the British administration has the most certain confidence in the first republican nemesis of our truly great Statesman JEFFERSON.—I will be plain, I mean that they were jealous to see landing armies, and naval armaments—ships of war—preparations of defence or aggression—systems financial and otherwise operative and efficient.—When the States assumed the attitude of a purely tranquil republican country; both countries, France and England, employed all their intrigue, and energy, and money, as I have heard, but do not know—firm and fixed as the rock of ages, JEFFERSON was unmoved, and time will eternize his virtue and patriotism. I may have written too much—I could not write less.—This great man is the poet's glow worm of the day; admit he does not excel his predecessor, WASHINGTON.—I for one will not admit it. Veneration for an individual may be carried too far—in our veneration for the dead, let us not forget the living; where are they who can hold competition with a JEFFERSON? Is it Mr. ADAMS?—be it so. Does it follow that because I think Mr. JEFFERSON a greater Statesman and Politician, and confessedly the first Philosopher in Europe or America; an inflexible, virtuous patriot, fitted to rule by his clemency and moderation, aided by counsels of the nation, and supported by the free voice of a wise, magnanimous and generous free people, who have placed him where he is, and where he proves otherwise than as he is and ever has been a steadfast patriotic, virtuous and good , will displace him.—Because I think thus, am I a vile, jacobin, traitor, confounder, constitution destroyer, as the tories and poet would make me, and never to enter those gates that are to fly open to receive the Poet of the Day drunk or sober—to greet WASHINGTON in Washington Hall! What currency would such fluff have had; with what effect would such attempts have been attended to in 1776—and what is the difference? we were then emerging from the grossest tyranny—we could not make a hot nail in America—we are now emerging from the most distressing tyranny, or aristocracy, or terror, or call it what you will. The British government was heaven on earth to the vile oppression that has so lately afflicted us under the system:—Forgive me editors, forgive me Connecticut that don't understand hard words, " Merses profundo pulchrior evenit ." Hor.
We shall brighten and rejoice, and to use the grovelling words of the two deplorable Oracle editors, instead of being "defiled, scorned and contemned by travelling the road of infamy under the standard of democracy;" we shall be found in the path of glory following the steps, and imitating the all-excelling virtues and patriotism of a JEFFERSON.
In your next paper I shall take up my own long and attempt to shew that it did not mean to insult or injure any man but was well meant and innocent. Introduce the Attorney General afterwards Chief Justice , for I was as much the one as the other, and is much stronger for the cause of the editors of the Oracle , and so go on to the call, to the criticisms, puns, parallel author and all the farrago; I only fear I must suspend it till my return from the country, where I am going—but on my return will promise to take it all up, hot and heavy, as fast as it comes.
For the present only introduce a question that must strike any candid mind, wants a better answer than these impertinent boys, and their more impertinent penman can possibly afford, from the palpable inconstancy of their concluding paragraph. How in nature could I lose all my learning they are pleased to allow me in two years?—Perhaps Connecticut has got it from me by some twisical method, that solves the most difficult division of quantity in any problem, by the extraordinary calculation of lots and gain taken from Cocker's arithmetic; that like the philosopher in Hudibras is so wise that he is able to tell whether our first parents had a navel! Where are all these qualifications that made me a candidate to be distinguished in their dirty society like carrion in ordure shining in the dark! These gentlemen should keep to the truth; I had the high honor to meet these two dirty printing boys a few evenings ago, only in their distinguished society. Ah but country readers don't know—Portsmouth people do know! 'Tis really throwing away time; yet, for the sake of peace, I will tell these Printers I did not pen the composition further than distinguished impartiality; the rest I knew nothing of, that is how the fact was—or is: I do not believe it to be as stated in the Oracle , however which we will examine after my signature in this paper.
These Printers ought to know that I am a poor author, who is always considered a sort of property to booksellers and printers, the substance and the offence is theirs—the dress only ours—how common is it to be impounded by saying to a vain author give us something good, and for a glass of grog and a cud of tobacco, write any thing and abuse any person of consequence or not. So, Messrs. Printers , you may make yourselves easy, I did not write the part that has offended you; and you may keep your peace, if you are wise!
Some original letters from James Sheafe to restore FramePoint , and some about the rifle and greatness of the relation to the British Governor, lately received from England, will be found to be curious, and are left herewith.
I am, your obliged humble servant, JOHN WENTWORTH. Little Harbor, Portsmouth, Saturday Evening, July 10, 1802.
The calculation I have above noticed is immediately disposed of by one short fact, these Printers send gratis 150 of their papers to the Representatives, and are supposed to be paid in Portsmouth by the aristocratic Junio .—This is so well known, that it is needless to enquire further or adjust it by figures, and as to the certainty of this fact to convince them that you have added 250 to your list is hopeless—after the unmerited abuse of such a wanton wicked print, how can you expect any truth from people employed to pervert truth. My word for it, if you will have patience, they will cut their own throats, and in a very short time you will hear very little of adding subscribers in that quarter—at present, by an Irish calculation, assisted by their numerical genius, they have made their loss their gain—and that is his business.
FOREIGN MISCELLANY.
THE re-establishment of religion in France, is an event interesting to humanity:—It will go far to convince Deists of the stability of the rock on which Christianity is founded; and will be a death-blow to Atheism and Infidelity in the two hemispheres.—Having been favored with a faithful translation of the first Sermon preached by the Archbishop of Tours, before the First Consul Bonaparte, on the subject of the restoration of religion; we do not hesitate immediately to lay it before our readers.
SERMON On the re-establishment of Religion, preached at the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, on Easter Sunday.—By the Archbishop of Tours.
CITIZEN FIRST CONSUL, AT the moment Providence calls upon me to fulfil the duties of a ministry so long neglected in seclusion & silence, I look round me—I observe—I behold this pulpit, this altar, this temple—Oh Heaven! what recollections, and in this day, what miraculous changes! Far, far be from us the remembrance of a time which is now no more, and let our hearts like our eyes, be gratified with the consoling sight of these holy solemnities! I will say with the eloquent preacher of the last century, ( Bossuet ) "When GOD, in order to prepare us for the astonishing changes of a future state, operates secretly in our hearts by his holy Spirit, when he alters, renovates, and inspires them with desires until then unknown, there is certainly nothing more miraculous than that change. What have we seen, and what do we now see? What a state! It is not necessary for me to speak: things speak sufficiently for themselves."
What, notwithstanding, shall we say, after so many amazing vicissitudes in the mind as well as in things? What can we say, suitable to the language at once mild and severe, of evangelical wisdom? Let us not entertain any anxiety on the subject! Such is the Christian preacher, that he is neither troubled nor checked by any thing, because there are immutable principles which he had announced, which he still announces; because he returns to his country as he went from it with the standard of the Lord in his hand; because there is a Spirit given from above which predominates in the very bosom of persecution, and which elevates itself with mildness and moderation in the restoration of public tranquility.
We once more enter the sanctuary, and it is still the same pulpit, the same altar,
the same temple, which the piety of our fathers erected.
There is in the most surprizing revolutions something which is incapable of change. Whatever may be the efforts of men, they cannot, children as they are of the earth and of time, destroy but what belongs to time and to the earth.—Their hands can cultivate or ravage, the soil on which they tread, and the works and ravages of their hands can extend only to the point which their feeble exertions are capable of reaching. But nothing changes in Heaven; it is the same font that enlightens us; it is the ray diffused from celestial origin that shines without alteration with its pure and living light, and divine truth remains unchangeable, like the light of the sun. For our GOD, said the chosen people who have transmitted to us the hereditary promise, is not like other GOD's he does not change his laws; he does not give one religion and another religion to his people. What he has spoken is unalterable, immortal, like himself, whether it be delivered in thunder, amid the storm, or whether it circulate and spread itself like the mild and beneficent Spirit on the surface of the appeased waters.
And now it is in the name of the God of peace, it is before his holy altars, that we are enabled to proclaim the great benefaction which he reserved after so many troubles, wars, and revolutions, for France, for Europe, and the universe. Our attention is no longer engaged with the partial treaties of two powers. Such is the vast expansion of the counsels of Providence; it is the peace of the world and what is still more admirable, it is effected in that same nation, so long a prey to all those troubles which seemed destined to deprive it of its religion; it is the peace of the world consecrated by the peace of the church!
When the Lord inspires the mind of men with one of those grand ideas, fit instrument of his will, and fruitful motives for futurity, do not imagine that political objects confined within the narrow interest of the moment; do not imagine that these same political objects, carried on by an ambitious over-reaching in the dreams of prosperity, can check or stop the grand design impressed by Providence upon the minds of men. It is impossible for him to relax in his new career. He possesses within him something even stronger than himself. All his senses are involved in deep reflection. It is impossible for him to lose sight, for a moment, of the work he has conceived. He meditates, he persuades, he decides. Within his own mind, he smoothes away, or defies every obstacle, and presents his single resistance to every opposition. From without, he only avails himself of his victories to offer peace, and his last triumph is to command it; weighing at the same time in a just balance the advantages of a power, the noble and worthy rival of France, by its courage, its forces, and its sciences. He re-establishes the equilibrium, which can alone maintain the tranquility of Europe. Nothing can revive an anxiety for war in a soul which the very hand of the God of armies himself directs to peace, and the splendour of this peace is divested of its more dangerous and powerful illusions. It is necessary for him to go farther. The same voice which designated Alexander for victory, excites the spirit of Cyrus to rebuild the temple; and he who looks to the re-establishment of religion, prepares, in the silence of parties, the peaceable concurrence of circumstances and of men. In what religion, in what territory, however distant in what climate, however savage, have not the troubles been felt, by which we have been agitated? No! it is not the extraordinary courage of this nation in the field; it is not the impetuous gallantry of our armies, wily directed by the most accomplished Generals; it is not this warlike spirit which flies at once from the banks of the Drave and the Po to the borders of the Nile, that caused the earth to tremble, even to its foundation. But when one has seen destructive principles spreading themselves throughout every state, the mine extending its subterraneous branches, and ready to overturn every government, no form of power, no authority on earth was out of the reach of these threatened changes. When one has seen the power, the best established on its ancient and firm constitution, and still more strong, by the calmness of its manners, and the happy ascendancy of national habits, tremble in every part at the approach of the danger; convulsions agitating and island united and consolidated with her; insurrection in her fleets, and peril arising from the corresponding societies, which were with difficulty suppressed by the wisdom of her councils; it was then first felt by every government what was to be feared from the convolution of a single people, and the revolution of a single empire. Oh! how much should that wisdom, at once introduced, and prevalent in this nation, maintain an useful and potent influence on the destiny of all countries! it was France that was to be pacified, in order to insure the repose of Europe. We must not hesitate to speak the truth; true peace, universal peace, is, that of France with herself, and of this first & fundamental pledge of public tranquility, this trait of happiness for every people, this wisdom of France, what, I am to ask, is the present source? To you who hear me, I shall say, there is but one. You have lately heard your most eloquent orators; they have elevated their voices to make you feel its dangers and to refute its errors. When will the time come, when the mind of man shall no longer be in contradiction with itself? When truths, unmixed, shall appear to be the unanimous homage of all minds to the first of truths? It is this holy truth alone which can become the source of all virtues, of all conditions. That which cannot be an object of science with every man cannot form the wisdom of all men, and no other science but that of religion can enlighten, cheer, and reunite every heart, and every mind. What can be feared? What was to be feared from a religion which rules only through free persuasions, and which has no tribunal but that of conscience? It gives peace to innocence, it holds out repentance to guilt, and when the repentance is sincere its judgments are kind and consoling. Far from it is all hatred and animosity.—the first precept of its divine author is, the forgetfulness of all injuries in all states, in all places, and particularly where power and force reside, as in the bosom of families and societies. She opposes to ambition the love of the public good, to avarice disinter-

effedness, and to falsehood the truth. Her holy charity teaches us to partake of the ills of others, and to divide with them our own possessions. Her mild mortality is the center and the bond of fraternal union between all men. Her language is the source of peace; it is the same in all governments, of the obligations of the people, of the ministers of the altar, of administrators of all degrees, and of the chiefs of nations. Her pure and sound doctrine, free from fanaticism and superstition, is not liable to the vicissitude of human affairs. A germ of discord can only arise from changing or disguising her principles. She is disguised when she is accused; she rises of herself, and without effort, above all interests and passions; and the confederates, by supernatural motives, the accomplishment of duty, and encouragement of virtue. How many soothing consolations has she not poured at all times into the bosom of public and private calamity, and with what tender affection has she not effaced the impression of misfortune? The most feeling minds in the midst of their most painful regrets have been nourished and fortified by their piety which is deputed and perfected even by restraints. This religion, which has been accused as the source of disorder, is become, to every class of citizens, the most firm assurance of public tranquility.
We can judge of the religious sentiments of an informed people, at the same time and almost on the same day, respecting the peace of the state and that of the church. Most certainly, it was not to be doubted but that the end of his long, bloody, and expensive war, was the object of every wish. The moment was anxiously expected, which was to bring back to our cities and our plains, labour of every kind, commerce, industry, the liberal arts, and all the useful professions. Alas! so many errors so fully acknowledged to so many misfortunes so long endured, had caused the necessity of repleto to be felt in every city, in every town, in every family. Its extent appeared to have exhausted the forces even of those who were not called upon to fight and conquer, and peace became the first necessity of France. And yet, let me presume to say it was the effect of a tranquil confidence, authorised by the well known sentiments of a pacific government. It was the habit of repleto to speedily and pleasingly contracted, that rendered this peace so conformable to the wishes of the nation. But, it must be observed, that the most obvious testimonies of the general content inspired by the peace given to the nation, have not at all equalled the transports and the emotions which there-establishment of religion has spread throughout every class & description of society. It is into the bosom of virtuous families that it is necessary to go in order to contemplate its effects. Follow the ardent motions of a whole people whom the consecrated instruments have called to these holy ceremonies; descend to the bottom of every heart, and seize the first impression of the hymns resounding through the vaults of this temple. Observe the sensation caused by the announcement only of the celebration of the Lord's day. See the august representative, and co-operation of the head of the church, in the accomplishment of this holy work, when he displays with dignity this respected character, all the people pressing with eagerness on his steps, when he concurs with the government in rendering homage to this spiritual authority, which becomes the center of union to the church of France. We can no longer doubt this day, of the disposition of a people, which seems to breathe once more the freedom of its worship, and which proclaims with universal satisfaction, the return of religion. A chief of the church is given to us in these memorable days, such as the Gallic church still trembling from the repeated shocks which it sustained, would have wished for, in order to cradle its repose. "Scarcely raised by providence to the Apostolic chair," to use his own words, he directed his regards to this illustrious church, nearly buried under its own ruins. He seeks to re-establish unity, that corner-stone of the Church of Christ, in the same faith, in the same sacraments, in a common obedience, & in the ties of mutual charity. Providence had smoothed the way to this happy change. The victorious General, the very day after a triumph which decides the fate of empires, had from his own feelings prepared those interesting dispositions which were to constitute the salvation of the church of France.
And now it only remains for us to follow the admonitions of a sovereign Pontiff, whose active and vigilant solicitude embraces every object that interests religion. He gives us precepts and salutary advice; and, guided by his instructions, we are enabled to walk with confidence in the paths of zeal and of wisdom. Let us take into our consideration these grand objects—Religion and its worship; for to them must our endeavours and our exertions be directed. It is our holy Religion which has been our guide in all the labyrinths of our laborious career; it is that which preserves us at each step, dissipates in the midst of difficulties our doubts and perplexities, and teaches us to fulfil the engagements we have contracted with respect to the people, who once more call for instructions, and with respect to the country, to which it will give back the noblest ornaments—Morality and Virtue. We shall be enabled to impress with conviction the minds, when we shall have gained the hearts of the people. "Let us be all things to all men," in the language of the Apostle; let us be compassionate to the infirm, and indulgent to the weak; let us communicate decision to the doubtful, and influence the powerful by those mild virtues which earlier or later predominate in the world! It remains for us to do all the good of which the Ministers of Jesus Christ are capable, when animated by charitable zeal by celestial grace and the modest confidence of success. We shall not be without resources and activity, so long as virtues and misfortunes shall be found in the world.
Thus we shall conform to the wishes of a faithful people, to the desires of the Government, which is determined to complete its work; and we will repeat in peace the prayer of him who was chosen to rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem. We will implore his mercy and blessings, which are to be our support to all eternity.
PARIS, MAY 18. At the sitting of the Legislative Body, yesterday, the Counsellors of State, BRUX, DESSOLLES and DUPUIS were introduced.
BRUX mounted the tribune: "We are going," said he, again to take possession of several of our colonies: It is of the first moment that we should remove the fears of the planters.
"It is known to you in what manner the illusions of liberty and equality have been propagated in those remote countries, where the striking difference between the civilized and the uncivilized man, the difference of climate, colors, and habits, and principally the security of European families, imperiously required a great inequality in the civil and political state of individuals.
"It is also known what has been the fatal consequence of these innovations, so eagerly pursued by zealots, most of whom were, doubtless, actuated by the honorable intention of promoting the cause of humanity, and who, while endeavoring to render the inhabitants of the colonies indiscriminately equal in rights, have only rendered them equally unhappy.
"Slavery, then," added the Orator, "must be maintained in such of our colonies, as have constantly flourished under that regime; in others, let us hasten to substitute for delusive and seducing theories, an healing system, the combination of which must be adapted to circumstances, variant of themselves, and confined to the wisdom of the government."
BRUX then read the following project of a law:
Art. I. In the colonies restored to France conformably to the treaty of Amiens, SLAVERY shall be maintained agreeably to the laws and regulations existing prior to the year 1789.
Art. II. It shall be the same in the other French colonies beyond the Cape of Good Hope.
Art. III. The traffic in slaves and their importation into the said colonies, shall be conducted agreeably to the regulations existing prior to the year 1789.
Art. IV. Notwithstanding all anterior laws, the regime of the colonies shall be subject for the period of ten years, to the regulations of the government.
The discussion of this project was appointed for the 20th May.
LONDON, MAY 17.
An Order of Council, it is laid, has actually been given, for prohibiting the importation of any article of French growth or manufacture, except such as have already been ordered and shipped for this country. This order is in consequence of the prohibition of the French government of English manufactures; and we have little doubt will lead to some commercial arrangements which may be beneficial to this country.
West-India NEWS!
By the sloop Ruth and Mary the editors of the New-York Gazette received the subsequent articles from their correspondents.
BERMUDA, June 26.
By the Penelope, from Martinique, we learn that the Saints are given up to the French forces; and that Martinique is to be given up on the 25th or 27th of July next; for which purpose a large fleet is already arrived there to take off the troops. A number of the French residents at Martinique are flying to Trinidada to make settlements at that island. Six British sail of the line were lying at Martinique a few days ago.
By this vessel we also learn, that a mutiny and assassination had nearly taken place at Martinique on the 4th instant. The negroes had all been apprized of the intention a few days before by hand bills; but on the evening of the 3d of June, two negroes went into an Irishman's grog shop where they were disagreeing, on which the Irishman gave one of them a blow on the head with his fist, which knocked off his hat which contained one of the bills; he was immediately secured, with about 40 others, and the bill sent to the governor who immediately issued orders through the island for every person to be under arms. Their intention was to murder every white on the island. The business was planned at Guadalupe by the negroes, the ringleader of whom was apprehended at Martinique and sent back to Guadalupe in irons, with a request that he might be tried there and executed; or a retaliation was threatened.
By this lucky discovery perhaps thousands of lives were saved, for even the militia might be partly off their guard on that day.
There can be no doubt but that our ports will be continued open all the year. Interested persons frequently report in America that these ports are shut, by which means we are deprived of the usual trade of the Americans.
We would recommend a 11 Americans who would wish to trade not to ship horses or mules as there is a heavy duty on the horses, and no use for the mules: all the salt provisions should be inspected and branded, or it will not sell well.
Considerable quantities of American salt provision (not inspected or branded) has been brought in here some time since which was of a most scandalous quality. New-York, Burlington and Boston Pork always sells at good prices, Beef is seldom in demand.
It is astonishing what numbers of ships, brigs and other vessels pass daily in sight of these island since the peace a proof of the increase of commerce."
Letters received in town from St. Domingo, dated the 15 June mention the death of Benezeth, Prefect of that colony. He fell a victim to the fever.

TUESDAY, JULY 13, 1802.
On Saturday the officers of Fort Constitution sent their barge to Little Harbor, where JOHN WENTWORTH, Esq. and his Lady visited the Fort; they were received with every possible mark of respect and attention to that worthy patriot and republican. The Troops in the Garrison were under arms, and went through their exercises—we cannot give too much applause to Capt. STODDERT, the Commanding Officer, for his attention and politeness, on all occasions.
COMMUNICATION.
Fresh Importations, respectable Connections and Families. AT the Bridge on the 5th, for the 4th July, presided one of the most respectable supercargo of fish in a Schooner of eighteen tons, in the gut of Causo, where he had the liberal part of his education, for twelve months, living upon Cod-Fish, eating it as I have heard him say, three hundred and sixty-five times a year.
There was an imported Fop at near him eating Tansey Pudding and Role-water Sauce; the sauce drooling out of the ends of his mouth, he was talking of pretty Pictures.
Near him sat a respectable imported Connecticut Lawyer, with long legs, long head, and a very long pig-tail, which gave the effeminacy of his features a considerable trait of a Monkey, with his Tricks—I should have said the Tansey Pudding eater, what the French call unfade, was sitting between the President and the Lawyer, to learn tricks, how to deceive his friends, and how to keep property rather than throw it away, in improvident sales of his father's, mother's, brother's and sister's property, for whom he is agent: I should have said too, that the Lawyer, with his Tricks resembled Newton's ape in society, as the Poet describes Newton among Angels of light. This twittical Monkey, to men of licence and learning, is the exact counterpart of the ape among the Angels. Opposite on the other hand of the President sat a respectable person of an uncommon command of himself, a peculiarity in the eye, the descendant of old Slinkabub from New-Castle, who held fling by the penny-worth, and his Father after him, up in the old House opposite the defendant of Slinkabub; The eye was strongly turned to Frame Point—a Justice's Clerk came up to him to swear him in appraiser to a great Estate, part of it belonging to the nephew of the British Governor, the new relation of Slinkabub, and the nephew of the Gentleman, who made him British Governor—see original letter lately received.
Near him sat a respectable imported Bawdy-house bully to square the Way for the President as he squares the Yards.
Poet was boosey, muttering the Song of the old Prophetess Deborah. "The flars in their courses against Sifera fought."
The room was on one side nearly covered with the emblazoned arms of the President, the field was blood and chevron a Cod-Fish above a tub of Blubber, the motto his own composing; "Persevere, right or wrong, tho' the Devil stand at the Door."
The company were interrupted by the ghost of a venerable old gentleman imported from the realms above, he had the model of a house on his head—a cupola on the top—and a scroll like an inventory and appraisement in his hand. The President was struck in a heap; one impudent droll fellow took him as if he had a clyster of fish-hooks that drew his posterior up to his elbows; another said his chest resembled a toad's, inflated with venom and froth, like the poet's song. The lawyer said the scroll must be an account, he said he believed it was the account he lately saw before the Judge of Probate. The lawyer whispered to the President, and said he would talk to the Judge and make him twittical—The President shook his head—The devil stood behind the lawyer, and whispered to the lawyer let us destroy his character and inventory too; the lawyer smiled—but the President shook his head, as if to say all won't do. The top of the cupola fell down; the house seemed to be rent into a thousand shivers. The ghost disappeared, and devils, witches and imps run in, caught up the President and lawyer and threw them into a boiling caldron of fire, through which they also disappeared.
We shall dispose of the remaining company as they behave. To be continued.
KINE POX.
Satisfaction to the Unsatisfied. ON Friday the 2d inst. I inoculated masters Charles and Robert Yeaton, George Manent, Peter M. Loud, and John Rinalde, (all of Portsmouth) with fresh small-pox matter, from Mr. Jackson West, who was labouring under a full crop of pustules by casual infection, at the Hospital in this harbour. These young masters having previously had the kine pox under my direction, I felt no anxiety as to the issue.
They were repeatedly inoculated in both arms, and took much pains to be in company with Mr. West, that the object of the experiment should be satisfactory. On the third day after inoculation the punctured points were inflamed and swollen in the same manner as from successful inoculation with the small pox. On the sixth, a red tremid efflorescence surrounded the punctures, as large as a cent; this effect upon the arms was all that the small pox poison was capable of producing on them; not in the least effecting the system. The eighth day the inflammation and swelling subsided, leaving a small scab which soon fell off.
They remained in the hospital ten days, during which time they were in perfect health, not having the least symptom or appearance of the small pox.
It is now the twelfth day since they have been exposed to the small pox, and if they could have caught it, by this time they would have been effected.
This second experiment of mine, I hold ample proof and sufficient testimony that the KINE POX is a sure and effectual preventive of the SMALL POX, either by inoculation or casual infection.
L. SPALDING. Portsmouth, July 13, 1802.
Health Office, Portsmouth,
July 13th, 1802.
We are happy to attest to the above facts as stated by Dr. SPALDING, and declare that the experiment which was made at our hospital, was conducted with the greatest fairness.
ELISHA LOW, } Health BENJ. SHERBURNE, } Officers. I have also the following facts.
Timothy Upham, of this town, was inoculated by me for the kine pox June 1801, since which he has been repeatedly inoculated for the small pox by Dr. WRAXALL, in the London small pox hospital, without its having any effect upon him. There were several hundreds infected with the small pox in all its varieties during his three weeks stay at the hospital.
Daniel Walden, son of J. W. of this town, was inoculated for the kine pox in August last. He has since been repeatedly inoculated with the small pox in the city of New-York, without being infected.
At Pepperelboro', Maine, eight young gentlemen, viz. Alexander Jenkins, Tho's Shannon, R. C. Shannon, Wm. Dennet, David Warren, Tristram Storer, Seth Storer and R. H. Green, all of whom having previously had the kine pox, were tested with the small pox, in Dr. R. C. SHANNON's small pox hospital in May and June last, without being infected. Altho' they were repeatedly inoculated with fresh matter and exposed to small pox contagion. L. S.

On reading a Song for the 4th July, Sung at the Bridge.
TO THE POET. Go son of nassiness, abuse good Men, Thy sacred privilege, on every year, Go dine, get drunk, and prostitute thy pen, In grateful Songs, to please a Tory's ear.
It is suggested that several of the American Frigates are to be ordered to the River Plate, to release the shipping belonging to this country, detained there by order of the Spanish Government.
Some of these vessels are Indianmen which put in there in distress last march; others that failed from Boston and other ports in the United States in consequence of contracts made with merchants under a guarantee of security from that government. Whether this outrageous conduct is consistent with the law of Nations, may be more accurately determined, when we shall have heard the circumstances fully stated. It certainly however, claims the attention of government; and it might be proper to enquire how far this detention is consistent with the existing Treaty between the two countries. It is however clearly stipulated that our vessels shall have free ingress and egress to all their ports to procure provisions, &c.
The Batavian men of war, which for some time past have been lying in Hampton Roads, failed for Holland the 28th ult.
Several Communications from the country are received—they are in reserve for the first vacancy.

On the death of Mrs. — BURLEIGH, the amiable consort of Mr. Burleigh, of Newmarket, who bid adieu to scenes of time on Friday the 25th day of June last.
MY weeping muse resumes the mournful strain,
And verdant groves shall tell our tender pain;
O'er hills and dales appear a gloomy shade,
And mourning brooks roll down the grassy glade.
No more her voice shall dictate virtue's laws,
Condemn the bose, and praise the righteous cause.
No more her Daughters shall instruction find,
From her capacious and exalted mind;
Her tender Husband, and each weeping friend
Around her bier in sable rows extend;
But oh! nor love nor friendships tender ties
Could stay her passage to the ethereal skies.
Ufense refined and intrinsic worth
Doem'd to the tomb can call thy sorrows forth,
Then drop one tear thou sympathetic soul,
Nor in thy breath the rising sigh controul.

MARY'S LOVE.
A BALLAD. MY morn of life, how gay how blest! How sweet each moment flew! No sighs disturb'd my tranquil breast, For care I never knew. I doted on my little cot, Nought could my state improve: Felicity was EDWARD'S lot, For he had MARY'S love. Each morning with the lark I'd wake, With her bright carol cheer'd, And labor, for my MARY'S sake, A pleasing task appear'd; The pomp of splendid I despis'd, I lov'd my peaceful grove; But the chief treasure that I priz'd Was gentle MARY'S love. I thought the noon of bliss arriv'd, Alas! 'twas but the morn; I toil'd in vain, no battle throiv'd, And blighted was my corn. 'Gainst all those ills, though fore oppress'd, With fortitude I strove; But keener pangs soon rent my breast, I lost my MARY'S love.
Moralist.
LIFE is short; the poor pittance of seven- ty years is not worth being a villain for; what matters it if your neighbor lay interest in a splendid tomb. Sleep you with innocence: look behind you through the tracts of time, a vast desert of unnumbered ages lies open in the retrospect. Through this desert have your forefathers journeyed on, till wearied with years and sorrow, they sunk from the walk of man. You must leave them where they fell, and you are to go on a little fur- ther, where you will find eternal rest. Whoever you may encounter between the cradle and the grave, be not dismayed. The universe is in endless motion, every moment big with innumerable events, which come not in slow succession, but bursting forcibly from a revolving and unknown cause, fly over this orb with diversified influence. Should you be plunged into disagreeable cir- cumstances, from those very circumstances may another be at that moment rising to the summit of his good fortune; so may your neighbor's inconvenience prove beneficial to you.
None can know the eternal purpose of excellence; but there is a grand equilibrium preserved by one mighty chain of depen- dencies. Look then at the universe; limit not the view of your soul to one hemisphere and ask your reason, if, in such awful revo- lutions of worlds and their inhabitants, pain or pleasure must not constitutionally affect you. Be ever fearless; yield reluctantly to the passions, increase the regions of the mind, and know that as you have no will to resist the power of death, death can be no evil fur- ther than it effects the imagination. To sleep, to go through various changes, or to wake everlastingly, is equally independent of your will. I therefore cheerfully trust the future, only dread the act that may wound your established rectitude of thought.
Medley.
A CLERGYMAN in the West of England was much harassed by his parishioners for omitting the Athanasian creed at the stated seasons. Not one of the parish, except his clerk John, coincided in opinion with him. The complaints of his flock were at length conveyed to the dioc- san , who issued his bull , commanding the of- fender to read this obnoxious part of the ser- vice. In this dilemma, our parson goes o- ver to an organist in a neighbouring city, and after much importunity, prevails with his useful friend to let the creed to musick , for himself and John, in two parts. "You know," says he "I am a box hunter ; set it to a good, jolly, rattling hunting tune." This was done accordingly; and the parson and his clerk made themselves perfect in their respective parts. When the next day arriv- ed, on which this creed is appointed to be used, the whole parish to a man were at church, hoping to enjoy the complete hu- miliation of the poor parson, thus compelled to swallow the bitter portion in the face of his audience! The service had now proceed- ed in order, to the creed in question. The congregation was silent: Their mouths gaped with expectation. "Next follows," says the parson, "The creed of St. Athan- asius , appointed to be said or sung; and by the grace of GOD, I'll sing it,—So now John (turning to the clerk) mind what you're about—here goes." Upon which he and John set up their pipes, and rattled away pell mell most merrily from one end of the creed to the other. The church rang again; the people stared; and the parson was left in future to the unmolested enjoyment of his own fancies.
A physician observed to a clock maker, whose work needed mending, that if he was to make such errors in practice, it would be attended with the loss of all his patrons. The man dily replied—Good Doctor, the sun discovers my faults—the earth hides yours.
Squire M. Meeting Squire B. on or near Charleston bridge, Squire B. ask'd M. if he had heard the news; to which M. replied, no. Squire B. inform'd him the Devil was dead. Well says Squire M. I really sym- pathize with you, being left a poor orphan.
Origin of the Word "Grog."
GENERAL orders were issued by Admi- ral Vernon that the daily allowance of rum, which had previously been taken clear, should be mixed with water. This salutary innovation was highly offensive to the sailors; and in their resentment, they gave to the Admiral the nick-name of Grog , in salu- tion to a coat that he then wore, made of cloth called grogram . And, from hence the word " Grog " has been appropriated as the name for spirits, when they are dilut- ed or mixed with water.
