POLITICAL MISCELLANY.
THOMAS PAINE, TO THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES. [Concluded.]
BEING at Washington in the winter 1802-3, I talked with some members of congress on the subject, particularly with Mr. Breckinridge, senator from Kentucky, the same person who brought in the bill for repealing John Adams' judiciary law, and the midnight appointments made in consequence of it. This repeal saved the country thirty two thousand dollars annually, besides freeing it from an intended judiciary despotism.
I spoke to him of the propriety of congress appointing a committee, or by some other method as they might think proper, to enquire into the conduct of the former administration, that of John Adams, and to call upon him to produce the information whether official or otherwise, which he went upon, if he had any, for putting the country to such vast expence, under the idea, real or pretended, of an invasion from France. This would be giving John Adams a fair chance of clearing himself, if he could from the suspicion that his administration was a gross imposition on the public; and on the other hand, if the imposition should be proved, it would enlighten the country, and put it on its guard against future impositions.
Mr. Breckinridge agreed with me in the propriety and fitness of the measure. He saw that information was wanted, and that it would be useful, because when the truth should be known, it would compose the people. John Adams had gone away in what may be called a clandestine manner, without surrendering into the hands of his successor, as he ought to have done in person, any account of the affairs of the executive department, foreign or domestic. There are no papers or documents that I know of, and I believe there are none, because there can be none in the secretary of State's office, that will justify John Adams in the expence; to which his administration put the country; or even afford ground for suspicion that either France or England intended to invade the United States. For what purpose then was an army to be raised. The projectors of such a measure must have had some object in view, and as that object has never been explained, it ought to be enquired into. It is bad policy, and also a bad precedent, especially in public affairs, to let imposition slide away without detection.
At the time I talked with Mr. Breckinridge on this subject, I expected that Mr. Skipwith formerly at this time, American consul at Paris, and Joel Barlow would soon arrive, and I did not with the enquiry to be gone into till they came. After the fall of Robespierre and the establishment of the directory constitution, those two gentlemen and myself (Mr. Monroe being recalled) had better opportunities of knowing the sentiments and intentions of the French government with respect to America than other persons had; and they can be evidence equally with myself, that no intention existed in the French government to invade America; nor was any preparation made for such an attempt, nor could it be made. The possibility of such a thing did not exist. The French navy at that time was nearly annihilated; her ports blockaded by the British; and she had to fight by land, single handed, against almost the whole of Europe. She had it not in her power to spare a regiment, much less could she spare an army, to send to America; and if she could have spared one, she had not the means of transporting it nor a convoy to protect it. All the circumstances as well as the evidence that can be provided, will shew that the administration of John Adams was a fraudulent and expensive imposition on the country; and that the army to be raised was intended for some secret purpose, and not for the purpose of defence. If John Adams was not conscious of something wrong, and apprehensive of some consequences, why did he abscond in the hasty and private manner he did? or why did his partizans want to put Aaron Burr to the presidency. In the days of the black cockades John Adams had one so enormous and so valiantly large, that he appeared to be suspended by it; but when his midnight hour arrived, his valor fled and himself also.
The voluntary embassy of Dr. Logan to Paris appears to have disconcerted John's administration, and discomfited its leaders; because it served to expose and put an end to their projects. When Dr. Logan called on Timothy Pickering, secretary of state, with Mr. Skipwith's dispatches from Paris, Timothy, before he knew their contents, though Logan knew the whole, began to talk of invasions and dangers, and the necessity of preparation. "It may be very well" said Logan, "to have the militia always in good order." "The militia, for?" said Timothy, "the militia never did any good and never will. We must have an army of fifty thousand men." When Logan was coming away, Timothy said to him at the door, "Sir, the government don't thank you."
When Logan waited on general Washington, who had been then appointed the lieutenant general of the army then raising of which John was commander in chief!—the general received him coldly and sternly, and said to him in a haughty tone, "and pray for, what right have you, that are but a private citizen, to interfere in matters of government?" Logan very prudently replied "I have no answer, sir, to make to that," and withdrew. The state of Pennsylvania, soon after this, elected Dr. Logan one of its senators in congress.
Circumstances often unridle and explain themselves, and it happens so in this case; for if the administration, and those leaders connected with it, were sincere in their belief that the danger was real, and that the country (as Governor Morris expressed it, in his funeral oration on Hamilton) was "menaced with dangers from without," and that France intended an invasion; and if, at the same time, they had no concealed object in contemplation themselves, they would welcome the messenger that should bring them good tidings that all was well. But if, on the contrary, they knew they were acting a fraud, and beating the country with false alarms, for the purpose of procuring loans, levying new taxes, and raising an army to accomplish some concealed purpose that could not be accomplished without that treachery, they would be enraged at him; and this accounts for the rude reception Dr. Logan received from that administration. Thousands who supported that administration from a belief that it was acting right, have since abandoned it from a conviction that it acted deceitfully wrong, and this also accounts for the great majority at the last presidential election. We have no alarms now, nor should we have had any then, if the present administration had existed at that time.
It requires only a prudent and honest administration to preserve America always in peace. Her distance from the European world frees her from its intrigues. But when men get into power, whose heads, like the head of John
Mr. Skipwith resigned the consulship during the administration of John Adams. I believe on account of a rude insulting letter he received from Timothy Pickering then secretary of state. Mr. Jefferson re-appointed Mr. Skipwith.
Timothy Pickering's reflection on the militia deserves a rebuff. It was the militia that fought at Bunker's hill, under Warren, a militia general. It was by the aid of numerous reinforcements of militia to join general Gates that Burgoyne was taken. It was by a volunteer militia under Stark, a volunteer general, that col. Baum, a Hessian, officer was defeated at Bennington, in Vermont, which was the prelude to the capture of Burgoyne. But perhaps Timothy reasons from himself; and if he makes himself the standard by which to judge of the merits of the militia there is ground for his saying the militia never did any good and never will. Timothy's first public employment was very harmless, that of a teacher of plaidy. When the revolution began he learned the manual exercise, and then taught it. He was afterwards appointed colonel of a regiment of militia, and when the affairs of Lexington and Concord took place, April 19, 1775, and the British were retreating from Concord back to Boston, an order was sent to Timothy, to march with his regiment, and not himself at a certain place to cut off their retreat. Timothy marched but he stopped short of the place, and drew up his men, and went to prayers, till the British passed it. His prayers saved him from the dangers of that day. I do not know that he sung psalms. Perhaps not. The enemy might have overheard him. Had Timothy done his duty on that occasion, and put his trust in God without loitering away his time, the whole party of the British, about two thousand, most have been prisoners, for they could not have got back into Boston; and the slaughter at Bunker's hill, the 17th of June following, could not have taken place. The whole force of the British at Boston at that time was about four thousand; one half of which were on this expedition! T. P.

Adams, are filled with "strange notions" and counter-revolutionary principles and projects, things will be sure to go wrong. John Adams, who was more the dupe of a party than the leader of it, entered on the office of president with his head turned by the elevation he was lifted to; and his principles (if he ever had any,) corrupted. He turned out to be a counter-revolutionist; and if the concealed projects of his administration had succeeded, the federal constitution would have been destroyed, and that by persons under the assumed and fraudulent name of federalists .
"As general Washington (said John Adams) has no children, it will be right to make the government hereditary in the family of Lord Washington." Perhaps John intended this as a sly introduction of himself and his hopeful son, Quincy, in preference to any of the Washingtons; for this same John Adams was one of the chiefs of a party in congress at York-town in Pennsylvania, in the latter end of the year 1777 and beginning of 78, for dismissing Washington from the command of the army because, they said he was not capable of it and did nothing. Yet under John's administration the name of Washington was made use of, for the purpose of introducing and covering a counter-revolutionary system. Such is the inconsistency of faction and of men who have no fixed principles!
The independence of America would have added but little to her own happiness, and been of no benefit to the world, if her government had been formed on the corrupt models of the old world. It was the opportunity of beginning the world anew, as it were; and of bringing forward a new system of government in which the rights of all men should be preserved, that gave value to independence. The pamphlet, Common Sense , the first work I ever published, embraced both those objects. Mere independence might at some future time, have been effected and established by arms, without principle, but a just system of government could not. In short, it was the principle, at that time, that produced the independence; for until the principle spread itself abroad among the people, independence was not thought of, and America was fighting without an object. Those who know the circumstances of the times I speak of, know this to be true.
I am not persecuting John Adams, nor any other man, nor did I ever persecute any; but I see the propriety, and even the necessity of instituting an enquiry into the confused state of affairs during his administration. All the circumstances & the evidence combined with them, justify the suspicion that during that administration the country was grossly imposed upon, and put to so great and unnecessary expense, which the present administration has to pay off; and that some concealed and counter-revolutionary scheme was in contemplation. The leaders, separately, might hide from each other what his own particular object was. Each of them might have a different one. But all of them agreed in the preliminary project, that of raising an army: and the case would have been, that when they had collected that army, they would have broken into distinct parties, like the generals of Alexander's army, and destroyed each other, to decide who should be the reigning usurper. Symptoms of disgust had already begun to appear among the chiefs. Hamilton despised Washington; Adams was jealous of Hamilton; and Hamilton had a perfect contempt for Adams. But in the end, John, I believe would have come poorly off. He was not a man of the sword, but only of the cockade.
I purposely delayed entering upon this subject till the presidential election should be over. Had I published it before that time, the clamour of faction would have laid it as an electioneering trick. Now, they cannot say it. The choice made at that election was the spontaneous choice of the people, and is therefore the more honorable both to the electors and the elected. The country at this time, compared with what it was two or three years ago, is in a state of tranquillity; and in a fit disposition of calmness to take the matters herein stated into consideration before the next meeting of congress. It is by keeping a country well informed upon its affairs, and discarding from its councils every thing of mystery, that harmony is preserved or restored among the people, and confidence reposed in the government.
THOMAS PAINE.
June 5th, 1805.
From the Pittsfield Sun.
THE REPUBLICAN MONITOR.
CUSTOM, which forms the standard of language in general, regulates and frequently varies the meaning of particular words. Out of many instances, which might be adduced, in support of this position, two or three will suffice.
The word knave was once synonymous with servant . Thus, in the old English version of the Bible, the first verse of Paul's first Epistle to the Romans was translated, "Paul, a knave of Jesus Christ," &c. But knave has changed the signification of the word, and it now means a dishonest man, without reference to his condition or employment in life.
Villains were, in ancient times, nothing more or less than a humble class of tenants. Their name conveyed no idea of their moral character. By custom, however a villain has acquired a different sense. It now signifies a person guilty of some criminal means.
Deist , derived from the Latin word Deus , that is God, originally denoted a believer in a supreme being, in contradistinction from an Atheist . But a Deist is now understood to be a disbeliever in divine revelation.
The word Federalist has undergone a similar variation of meaning. It was first applied to a political sect or party in the general Convention, who framed the Constitution of the United States. At that eventful period, there were three projects of government. One was to dissolve the national Union, and leave each State a separate, disconnected, independent sovereignty, without any general legislative superintendence. For this there were but few advocates, although many gentlemen were of opinion, that such a separation, or perhaps a division into partial confederacies, would be the probable result of a neglect to reform the Articles of Confederation. The second project was to abolish the state sovereignties, and consolidate the whole nation into one general government. The patrons of that scheme were not numerous, nor very open and explicit in their avowal of it. The third plan was to preserve the sovereignty of the States, as to internal concerns, and to establish a federal or confederated government, with complete organization and jurisdiction over our exterior relations, and all national concerns. The friends of this system of federation acquired in the Convention the denomination of Federalists , according to the etymological signification of the word, to distinguish them from the patrons of the two opposite extremes. This sentiment prevailed. The Constitution was predicated upon it, although there were various opinions as to its organization and political character. The advocates for the adoption of the new Constitution, assumed to themselves this name of Federalists , which, by denoting a medium between the consolidation and the separation of the states, had become popular, and they applied to those, who objected to the adoption of the Constitution, as it then was, the unpopular epithet of Anti-federalists , although they were in favour of a federal or confederated government, but wished for certain amendments, before they could consent to adopt the particular form then offered to their consideration. Here was one material variation of the signification of the word.
Those who had thus appropriated the name of Federalists obtained possession of the executive and legislative administration, and applied the name to their adherents, as a party. By degrees it became a characteristic badge, to distinguish the supporters from the opposers of administration. It is still the political name of the same party, or rather the survivors of that party, notwithstanding they have gone out of government, changed their political objects and commenced a most violent opposition. A Federalist , according to the common acceptance, now signifies an opposer of the federal administration.
This change of politics and political relations, without a corresponding change of nature, has, partly through mistake and partly by design and artful management occasioned much popular delusion. Many unsuspecting Republicans, who originally joined the party designated by the term Federalists , when it imported attachment to a federative government, or approbation of the federal constitution, have followed in their train, without perceiving their deviation from first principles, until they are now associated with a faction in opposition to the federal government. The force of habit, the prejudice of names, and a false pride of adhering to a side once espoused, have prevented many of these deluded Republicans from renouncing the party, who have perverted the name of Federalists , and re-uniting with their brethren in the common cause of Republicanism.
Fellow citizens, be persuaded to review the political stages, thro' which you have passed, since our glorious Revolution; recollect the course of publications, and the conduct, and conversation of your neighbours, on subjects of government; compare them with the operations of your own minds, and see if this statement (which is not indeed a new one) is not founded on fact; and, if such be in reality
the state of things among us, explain, circulate and enforce it, in your respective circles of acquaintance and influence, with a view to a rectification of the popular mistake and a reunion of the friends of our government, in support of Republican men and measures.
The two great parties in this country have chosen for themselves the names of Republicans and Federalists , and endeavoured to attach to each other more unpopular and odious appellations. Whether these, which they have thus respectively assumed, were originally the most appropriate, or not, is by no means material. It is sufficient, that they are now well known, and the parties well designated by them, so that it is unnecessary and improper to abandon them for the sake of assuming new ones.
The name of Federalists is growing unpopular, and that of Republicans advancing in popularity. This fact is accounted for by the history of the two parties. It is proved by the awkward attempts of the former to assume to their party some additional epithet, as the " Washington Federalists ," " Washington and Adams' Federalists ," " Republican federalists ," &c. These artifices indicate a consciousness of declining popularity.
Fellow-Republicans, as political names are of some importance, it would betray a degree of fickleness and folly in us, to abandon our own, or to aid and abet our opponents in changing theirs. Let us, then continue to call them Federalists , and ourselves Republicans .
BY THE LAST MAILS.
NEW-ORLEANS, March 22. The following Message was laid before the Council.
"Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, "I have given to the bill entitled "An act to prevent persons other than those who were inhabitants of Louisiana on the 30th day of April, 1803, or citizens of the United States," from holding any office under the government of this territory, the most respectful and attentive consideration. The principle of the bill is patriotic, and I cordially unite with you in opinion that offices of trust in this territory ought alone to be confided to the ancient inhabitants of this country, or other citizens of the United States, unless on occasions where a departure from so general a rule should be justified by some of those strong reasons which seldom occur; I however, entertain doubts whether the object of the bill is a rightful object of territorial legislation; I am inclined to the opinion, that it is more properly a matter of constitutional provision. The law of congress for the government of this territory, has vested in the executive an uncontrolled discretion, as to certain appointments to office, and as I doubt the constitutionality of any act of the territorial legislature, which would abridge the powers of the office I have the honor to hold, it becomes my duty to reject the bill. (Signed) WM. C. C. CLAIBORNE."
The governor has likewise given his negative to a bill recognizing as legal any rate of interest stipulated by the contracting parties.
NORFOLK, JUNE 20. Capt. Garrow, arrived here from Martinique, reports, that before he sailed, accounts were received that the garrison at the Diamond Rock, consisting of about 150 men, capitulated to a French frigate and corvette, after a siege of three days.
COOPERS-TOWN, JUNE 6. THE UNHAPPY ARNOLD. Was on Tuesday last, indicted, and convicted, at the circuit court held in this place by his Honor Chief Justice Kent, of the murder of Betsey Van Amburgh, an orphan, by whipping her, in such an unjustifiable and barbarous manner as to occasion her death.
Judge Kent after an impressive address to the prisoner, passed sentence on him, to wit: "You are to be taken from hence to the place of confinement, and from thence to the place of execution, and there be hanged by the neck until you are dead—and the Lord have mercy on your soul."
Yesterday the honorable court fixed the time of his execution to Friday the 19th day of July next, between the hours of ten o'clock in the forenoon and two o'clock in the afternoon. The trial occupied about five hours and an half, and the jury were about two hours deliberating on their verdict.
Thomas R. Gold, Esq. was counsel for the prisoner, and Nathan Williams, Esq. district attorney, conducted the prosecution on the part of the state.
We have taken in short hand all the particulars of the trial, which being too lengthy for our paper, will be published in a pamphlet.
PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 22.
The arrival of the British admiral Dacres, at Jamaica with 11 sail of the line, gives a new aspect to affairs in the West-Indies; the question now will be whether the combined fleets shall blockade the British in Port Royal, or attack St. Lucie?
As many of the Bookellers in this city and elsewhere, have not attended to the following clauses of the Constitution and By-laws of the American Company of Bookellers, it is thought proper to reprint them.
CONSTITUTION:
Article VIII. Every member of this Company shall annually, at least twenty days prior to the opening of the Fair, transmit to the Corresponding Secretary a list of all the books he intends offering for exchange and of all the books he has published within the preceding year, with the prices annexed. It shall be the duty of the said Secretary to arrange the whole of the said lists in such manner as the Board of Directors shall have prescribed; and to cause to be printed a sufficient number of copies of said lists for the use of the members of the Association, to be laid before them on the first day of their annual meeting.
BY-LAWS.
Article XVIII. That it shall be the duty of every member of this Company, within six months hereafter, to transmit to the Recording Secretary, a list of all the Books which have been printed by him within the last four years, specifying the size and price of each.
The publishers of newspapers are requested to insert the above in their papers once or twice.
NEW-YORK, JUNE 21.
When Capt. Ray, of the schr. Alliance, left Jamaica, a fleet of eleven sail of the line and some frigates, under command of Admiral Dacres, lay at anchor at Port Royal in expectation of a visit from the combined fleets. The vessel which had been dispatched by Sir John Orde to the British West India islands had reached Jamaica with news of the French and Spanish fleet from Cadiz having put to sea.

Capt. Brown, of the schr. Roger Williams, arrived here yesterday in 14 days from St. Bartholomews, gives us the positive assurance that a British fleet of 18 sail of the line had arrived at Barbadoes on the first of June, under the command of Admiral Sir Richard Bickerton, who was to be joined immediately by Admiral Cochrane with six sail of the line. The squadron under Sir Richard is that lately commanded by Admiral Lord Nelson, who is said to have returned to England on account of the ill state of his health.
Capt. B. further informs that another French, and Spanish fleet from Ferrol and Carthagena; consisting of 36 sail (14 of which were of the line) having 12000 troops on board, had arrived at Martinique, from whence they were to proceed against Antigua and Trinidad.
By Capt. Thompson, in 13 days from St. Croix, we are informed that news was received there the day before he sailed, that a British fleet of 17 sail of the line had arrived off St. Lucie; and that another French fleet, consisting of 14 sail of the line, had arrived at Martinique. Capt. T. says the above news was believed at St. Croix.
"Extract of a letter from M. Talleyrand, to His Excellency Mr. Livingston late American Minister at Paris, written by order of the Emperor and King. PARIS, APRIL, 1805."
"I have thought it would be particularly agreeable to you, to be able to encourage in your own country the taste for the Arts, and with this view I have the honor to send you a collection of the old and new Calceography of the father and brothers Piranesi. These engraved and colored designs will be advantageously placed in the Museum of New-York, and will moreover demonstrate the interest with which you have inspired us, for whatever may contribute to the instruction and accomplishment of your young countrymen."
"I entreat you, Sir, to accept the assurance of my high consideration. (Signed) "C. M. TALLEYRAND."
This rare and valuable collection, which Mr. Livingston brings with him, consists of 24 vols. folio of Prints, together with several Port Folios, containing copies in oil and water colours from Raphael, and from Antiques, View of Constantinople, Cairo, &c. &c. "The work will not only be useful to painters and sculptors, but to architects, cabinet-makers, gold-smiths, and others engaged in similar employments."
JUNE 26.—Capt. Tinker arrived last night in 16 days from St. Pierre's, Martinique; which he left the 6th June:—He informs, that the French and Spanish fleet sailed from Martinico the 5th of June, for Guadalupe;—where they had arrived: and failed again, the 8th, bound to Antigua:—That two French frigates had arrived at Martinico, and reported, that they failed from Ferrol, in company with a French and Spanish squadron of 14
fail of the line, with frigates transports, and troops on board, bound to Martinico:—That the above frigates parted from the fleet in a gale of wind; that the combined fleet captured a 30 gun British ship, on going out of Guadalupe:—And that no accounts had been received at Martinico, of the arrival of a British naval force at Barbadoes, as reported.
BOSTON, JUNE 28.
WEST-INDIES.
THE nautical intelligence from this place becomes more important and interesting every day. Accounts have been received from St. Bartholomews and St. Croix, to which some credit may be attached, importing that the British Mediterranean Fleet, consisting of 12 sail of the line, had arrived at Barbadoes, under the command of Sir Richard Bickerton; Lord Nelson having returned to England, on account of ill health. We also learn by the same organs, that a second combined fleet had arrived at Martinico from Ferrol, composed of 13 sail of the line, with frigates, transports, &c. and having on board 12,000 troops. On the 8th of June the British fleet was seen off St. Lucie.
By the last advices from London, we perceive that the British administration were exceedingly alarmed on account of the perilous state of their West-India Colonies, and that Mr. Pitt had assured the agent for Jamaica (Mr. Sewall) that relief had been organizing by government for that quarter; this relief is said to consist of 12 sail of the line, partly drawn from the channel fleet, which are to convey several regiments for the reinforcement of their colonial garrisons.
The warmest zealot for British influence among our Anglo-Federalists , cannot but admit that she is now harassed and threatened by her foe, upon the ocean, which is the only theatre of war in which she is truly formidable. They may create their gacounding falsehoods, at a British sloop of war, blockading two Spanish 74 gun ships, at the Havanna, and there may be deluded partisans who are willing to admit the extent of such an imposition; yet all this silly texture of misrepresentation will not avail them in their actual state of trouble. Men calling themselves Republicans may with the French navy exterminated sooner than Britain should suffer the horrors of invasion; we should deplore such horror as much as any men, yet until it can be proved, that we have suffered more from France, than the tyranny of the British ministry, we shall continue to consider such declarations as more indicative of perverseness than reflection, and of ingratitude than either! If Britain stood in no fear of France, our national freedom would be very insecure in its tenure, as they never can or will forgive us for being independent and happy.
While the question remains at issue as to the future operations of the combined squadrons in the West Indies, we are sometimes amused, and often offended, with the novel display of prejudices, by the different persons who argue upon the presumed result of this expedition. The federalists , to a man, are true to their systematic and unchangeable hope, that the fleets of Britain will conquer those of France, and thereby strengthen their latent expectation of ingrafting their scions of monarchy upon our political establishments; in doing this, they are but acting in character, which has uniformly been to deduce Tory predictions from Federal premises, and distort the vessel of human freedom by a side wind. But some of the Republicans , on this occasion, appear to be acting irregularly and out of character, in promulgating opinions, desires and fears, which can have no healthful effect upon our national honor.
We may hourly expect accounts of a bloody naval contest between the British and French off the West Indies.

From the Quebec Mercury. We some time past mentioned in our paper the fate of a miser who per- ished in the fire at St. Thomas's, and whose skeleton was said to be found extended over his iron chest. Attach- ed to some St. Croix Gazettes, we have received, from a friend, a narra- tive of that fire in MS. Here follows an extract:
"Amongst those who lost their lives, was an old German, who had been many years a resident, and by the dint of usurious schemes and illegal traffic, had accumulated much wealth; when living, he was a horrid bad neighbour, a shocking unmerciful master, and no man's friend—when any needy wretch unfortunately fell into his clutches, he always dealt with him most unfeeling- ly to increase his self—for, "His God was Gold and his Religion Theft"
"An hour before the fire extended to his house, one of his white com- panions, told him, that if he would trust his bags of gold and dollars to his house, he might send them with his negroes and that they would be safe; but, this he refused to do; pre- sently after, as the fire was approach- ing, he was requested, by the same man, to unbind one of his slaves, whom he had chained to a post, for some misdeemeanor, and this he also refused to comply with, but suffered him to burn to ashes."
"The reptile foul, whose reasoning pow- ers were pent, "Within the logic bounds of cent per cent," Would trust no man, white or black, but luck close to his chests, in the midst of the flames, 'till reduced to a skeleton; no doubt, he had no power, before, or at the last gasp, to beg for mercy: we are informed, that the last exclamations of the fordid, soulless, nasty, cankered wretch, were "O my Dollars! my Dollars! my darling Dollars! The fire is consuming me—Adieu! adieu! adieu!"
"Next day, amongst the immensity of ruins, expected after such awful de- vastations, his bones were found, close by a large iron chest, with the key of it clinched fast to the parched bones of his wrist—No less than 80,000 Dol- lars were found which were lodged in the fort, to be appropriated to the re- lief of the real sufferers. "Hear this all ye misers, and trem- ble; of all the filthy, carnivorous ani- mals, of God's creating, ye are most detestable, and hateful in his eyes."
At Saybrook, (Con.) drowned from on board Sch'r China, in which vessel he was a passenger, Mr. Allen Wells, aged 26, of Roxbury.
Portsmouth, TUESDAY JULY 2, 1805. OF THE WEST-INDIES. Accounts from Martinico, to the 9th June, (the latest by some days) have been received at New-York. They state, that the combined fleet failed from Port-Royal the 5th June, for Guadalupe; and from Guada- lupe, on the 8th, for Antigua, as was supposed:—That two frigates from the Ferrol Squadron had arrived, and which had left the Squadron at sea, in a gale of wind:—And that no information had been received at Mar- tinico, of the arrival of a British fleet at Barbadoes. As these accounts are from St. Pierres, allowance must be made such inaccuracies as usually ac- company travelling reports.
NELSON'S FLEET. Capt. Hall, who arrived here, on Thursday, from the Mediterranean, informs, that he came through the Streights of Gibraltar, the 6th May, in company with Lord Nelson's fleet, of fifteen sail of the line, and parted company off Cape St. Vincents, on the 9th of May. If this fleet then stood for the West-Indies, it gives it 22 days to arrive at Barbadoes, to correspond with the reports, of its ar- rival there, the 1st June. The vessel, at New-York, from Mar- tinico, contradicts the account of the arrival there, of a second French fleet. [Continued.]
Sunday, arrived at this port Capt. Briard, 23 days from Tobago,—cap- tain B. informs, that 6th June, arrived there an English fleet of 12 sail of line and 6 or 8 frigates,—they sent on shore to learn some information of the French fleet, and was previously sup- posed to be the French fleet. Same day, arrived brig Alert, Capt. Tilton, 18 days from Martinique,— who informs, that 5th June, failed from Port-Royal the French fleet, consisting of 18 sail of the line, besides frigates, making in the whole 25 sail.
4th July. Let the rising Republicans of the present age remember, that on this day, America struggling in her glori- ous contest for Freedom and In- dependence, took her distinguished rank among the Nations of the World on the broad theatre of Kingdoms and Republics. Sensible of the blessings we enjoy under the wise and prudent administration of the illustrious JER- EMSON, who form'd the Declaration of Independence, which broke the Scepter of the British Despot, and freed them from the yoke of Tyrann- y, the old Whigs of '75 commemo- rate this important Era—Animated with the pleasing prospect of the Es- tablishment of those genuine principles which led to their revolution, may they ever esteem it their bounden duty to set this example to succeeding generations, that their minds may be suitably impressed with the sacred ob- ligations they owe to the Heroes who fought, and the Patriots who achiev- ed, and secured, by the smiles of Heav- en, those invaluable blessings of Li- berty and Independence we this day enjoy—and when we consecrate this event, at our annual festivals, may we always reverence the memoirs of John Hancock, and Samuel Adams, those proscripted Patriots of British Ty- rannie. Democrat.
A correspondent informs us that he lately had an opportunity of seeing Gen. Stark, the Hero of the North. The venerable Hero is in his 77th year, and still maintains the vigour of his patriotism, and his most grateful attachments to the present administra- tion. They who wish to observe the true spirit of our revolution in the primitive spirit which gave it birth, will be highly gratified in the ardour of this Hero, who gave the first great check to the pride of Britain. It is from such men as these we are to learn for what great ends our revolution be- gan. And from such men we may learn the duty we owe to our Country. In them we see the sincerity which re- gards the public happiness; the ambi- tion which asks no reward but in the public liberty, and which has no rich- es equal to those which arise from a life well spent, and generous services for the national glory. S. Reg. FESTIVAL OF ST. JOHN. ON Tuesday last, the Festival of St. John the Baptist was celebrated in this town in ample form, by the Most Worshipful, the Grand Lodge of New-Hampshire, and the brethren of the craft in this and the neigh- boring towns. At 11 o'clock, the Grand Lodge was opened in the new hall, over the Fire and Marine Insurance Office. At 12, the procession was formed from that office, and accompanied by a band of music, marched through Court-street, Buck-street & Chapel street, to St. John's Church, where they were received by a voluntary on the Organ and a splendid concourse of ladies and gen- tlemen. The throne of grace was addressed by the Rev. brother Willard, and a short sermon on brotherly love. At divine service, the procession, re- turned to brother Davenport's new hall, where they partook of one of the best public dinners ever served up in this town.
The British government, according to a late London paper, have contract- ed with a merchant in the West-Indies for a supply of 5000 African negroes, from the age of 16 to 30, to serve as soldiers in the leeward islands. The contract to be completed within a year. Application had been made by the contractor to merchants of Lon- don and Liverpool, for assistance in completing the engagement, and a merchant of the latter place had a- greed to furnish 1000 at 55 guineas a head.
American Independence. We understand that the country friends of Liberty and social order in- tend assembling at Capt. Joseph Rich- ardson's Tavern in Durham, on the 4th of July, for the purpose of partaking of an elegant entertainment and that an Oration, suitable to the occasion, will be previously delivered by JOHN FROST, Esq. at the meeting House.— The known patriotism of the above Gentleman, will we trust ensure a re- spectable audience.

CAMP MEETING.
Mr. Jrs. Printers,
I HAVE lately had the pleasure of attending a Camp-Meeting, so called, at Norton, Massachusetts; held on a plain, similar to those that have been so remarkably blessed in the Southern States, within a few years past.
Brother Pickering preached, on Friday at 1 o'clock, from James i. 25, to about 600 people, who had collected from different quarters.
In the evening the grove was illuminated with lanterns, suspended from the trees, while brother Jayne preached from Heb. iii. 7, 8, and brother Bishop with others, exhorting with great power.
On Saturday morning Brother M'Lean preached at 5 o'clock, from 2 Cor. iv. 5 to about 150 people. At 8 o'clock a general prayer meeting.
Lord's day morning, the rain continuing, the people all left the ground, and principally retired to the house of Mr. Joseph Newcomb; where at half past 10, brother Pickering attempted to preach;
Monday morning, we again assembled at 7 o'clock in the grove; at which time brother Lorenzo Dow, delivered a profitable sermon from Acts xiii. 41.
Of all the views I ever beheld, I must say that this to my mind was the most agreeable. After singing a parting hymn, he uttered a short ejaculation for God's power to be displayed.
The meeting was then concluded by an appropriate prayer, offered up by brother Jayne, who also pronounced the usual benediction.
It is not possible to determine how much good was done at this meeting; but the day will declare it.
For the most part, there was very good order throughout the congregation. It is with regret I mention that some were apparently bent on mischief:
Should any into whose hands this may fall, hereafter have an opportunity of attending a Camp-meeting, they are desired to take notice, that it is necessary for them to carry materials for tents, and their own provisions;
A friend to the cause of CHRIST.
