From the Baltimore Evening Post.
The Washington Federalist informs the public that a "rumor" had reached that city via Baltimore, which stated—"that Bonaparte had commanded the government of the United States to interdict all commerce with Britain."
Had this "rumor" been stated simply as a "rumor," we should have suffered it to descend to the "tomb of the Capulets" in silence—a fit companion for the millions of "It is said," and "It is underfloods" which have preceded it—but, as it is accompanied with a string of insinuations which tend unjustly to implicate our government, and as these insinuations have been copied with avidity into many of the opposition papers, it becomes us to assert that if the "rumor" ever was in Baltimore, it must have been very quiet whilst with us—we have not been able to hear of any person, man, woman or child, who heard any thing about it.
The conduct of two men among us brings to our recollection what was said of a certain preacher of the gospel, who "let his subject be faith, hope or charity, was always sure to have a whack at the Pope." Thus with the persons alluded to—let the subject on which they exercise their talents, be King George, or the Emperor Napoleon—the English ship Leander, or gun-boat No. 1, they are sure to "show their teeth" at Mr. Jefferson.
That we have just ground to interdict all commercial intercourse with Great Britain, unless our wrongs are speedily redressed, we apprehend no honest American will deny. We have suffered much loss, and deeply drank the cup of national humiliation and disgrace. Our forbearance and love of peace with that country, to which we are so intimately connected by ties not easily dissolved, has, almost become a crime. Yet we will not war with Britain or any other country. "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all—entangling alliances with none," is our motto.
Many, from flight views, are apt to believe that government the strongest which is best skilled in the "work of blood," and has the greatest quantity of men ready to perform it. This is a gross error—that government is the strongest which is built and supported by the people, as the experience of every nation and age of the world can testify.
A republic notwithstanding its being the strongest kind of government, is on all occasions, the least prodigal of the lives of its citizens—"No man hurteth his own flesh but nourisheth and cherisheth it"—therefore, as the sovereign power is vested in the people, and every measure tends to their happiness or disadvantage, they are not apt wontonly to engage in a war, or bury the hatchet after their vengeance has been satisfied, without the best and most substantial reasons.
Let us not quarrel with any nation which has hitherto treated us in a friendly manner, because such and such a thing might be. Let us judge of plain matters of fact, and to act as the circumstances of the times may justify. If the nations of the earth will let us alone, we will let them alone—we will not quarrel with any to gratify the malice of a few individuals—we know how much better a citizen may be employed in tilling his field than in fastening it with the blood of his fellow-Christians .
There are unhappily amongst us some whose most ardent desire appears to be to create a war with France, and several of our "able editors" have employed their "arts" to bring about the calamitous issue. For what? Is it from a desire to support the "mother country," and derange the finances and operations of our own government, so that republicans may be brought into contempt, and the doctrine that man has rights to be exploded from the political world? What can we gain by the controversy? Nothing! the trade to France and her ports has always left a balance in favor of us—the trade to England and her dependencies has always left a balance against us.
We do not believe that France has ever made the demand alluded to—we hope the never may, and heartily with we could lay the same of some of our opponents. If France made this demand however just our ground of objection to the conduct of Britain might be, we would repel the indignity, and hope that one grave would cover the resolution to carry it into effect, and all our pretensions to sovereignty and independence.
Amid the "thros and convulsions of the ancient world" we have yet maintained peace—we have prospered, and risen to a degree of greatness unknown in the annals of mankind. Let us be thankful for our blessings, and, by a rigid attention to whatsoever is good and virtuous, deserve their continuance. War never has been nor never can be profitable—it is the last appeal—the dernier resort of nations—and should never be countenanced by
any people while they can avoid it, and at the same time protect those facilities which render life comfortable. At all events and on every occasion, it is time enough to do bad when we cannot do better.
The National Intelligencer, remarking upon the conduct of some men, calling themselves Federal Republicans, asks, "Was this an occasion to light the torch of discord? Was this a time to propagate slanders, which they who utter them, cannot believe? Where is the proof that the present administration have consented to pay money to avoid foreign influence, or to prevent the violation of national rights? Where is the proof that the administration patiently permits foreign armed ships to station themselves off our harbors, and there to stop, search, and capture our vessels, and to impress, wound and murder our citizens? Where, we demand, are the proofs of these charges? We deny their existence. The whole nation knows them to be false." It then proceeds to expose the party purposes already baffled, which these charges were to answer in the city of New-York. And then declares that these atrocious libels were unworthy of any men, especially those whose names were published on the occasion. But such is the prostitution of honor in the political contest, that we are prepared for the most licentious invectives.—Long accustomed to ordinary slanders, nothing which is not awful is alarming. Guilt is so common an impeachment, that should not guilt arise to its greatest aggravations it would be unheeded. Despair is dreadful. They will bring the charge once brought against Milton's devils, that the Republicans prepare to storm Heaven. (Salem Reg)
When a party has been enabled, by the assistance of truth and the conduct of its adversaries, to beat down all opposition, and to seat itself on the high places of power; when it has attained a situation from which it can observe its enemies humbled to the dust, and raging with chagrin, it discontinues its exertions, and reflecting that it is in possession of undispputed pre-eminence, rests unguarded in fancied security, without considering that greater exertions are necessary to preserve, than were need to obtain that pre-eminence.
When a party, which once ruled with almost unresisted sway, is compelled to leave its exalted station and submit to be controlled by another, it is always relish and retributory—is always goaded by a perpetual longing to regain the station it lost—always views with the malignity of the prince of darkness the party by which it was superseded, and seizes every opportunity to effect its destruction.
That these maxims are true is proved by the present state of the parties in this country. The republicans, conscious of their superiority, in almost every state in the union, and apprehensive that they have nothing to fear are negligent and inactive. The federalists, compelled to submit to those whom they once affected to despise, and maddened by mortification, are ever watchful, and ever ready to seize the first opportunity to effect the overthrow of the republicans, and seat themselves in their places. Should a division happen among republicans—should any of their measures be followed by disastrous consequences, as many measures, though planned with wisdom, and prosecuted with ability frequently are, the federalists would immediately be found "lifting at the wheel of opposition," and threatening the country with the horrors of a second reign of terror. (Pol. Obs.)
We copy the following from the London Morning Chronicle, of February 13, 1806:
"Public office, Marlborough Street—A gentleman at the west end of the town, yesterday made an application to the magistrates of police, to have a servant who had offended him imprisoned. The magistrates ordered the man to be brought before them, in order that a charge might be made formally against him before his face, and that then, if he thought proper, he might have an opportunity to enter voluntarily."
We often hear Englishmen asserting, that in Britain there are equal laws for all —that it is never in the power of the rich to oppress the poor. To such men, we recommend the above paragraph. A gentleman's servant had offended him, he applies to the magistrates to have him imprisoned for the crime—of offending a gentleman ! In the cant language of British magistrates—they sent for him, that he might have an opportunity to enter voluntarily —such infernal hypocrisy, is more detestable than the most summary punishment. Off with his head , in the language of an eastern despot—is not more fatal, than this voluntary entering.
We will acquaint our readers with the meaning of the term. On being brought before the magistrates, the poor wretch would be informed that he must be sent to the receiving ship —the constable is ready to take him to the tower—but he may enter voluntarily —if he refuses the latter, conscious that he deserves no punishment—he is immediately seized and conveyed on board—the dreadful crime of having offended a gentleman , is sent as his character , the severest disciplinarians are sought out for him—to his former
crime is now added that of refusing to enter voluntarily —he is now put to the most laborious duty, the cat-o'-nine-tails, of the boatswain and the ratten of the officer, is wantonly and barbarously applied for every mistake. Far from his wife and children, the poor wretch for no other crime than that of offending a gentleman , drags on his torments, till some merciful bullet puts a period to his existence! In this manner are hundreds of volunteers annually made. Say, you asserters of the equal laws of Britain, would the gentleman , be impressed for offending his slave . How then are the laws equal?—The truth is, that the system of British cruelty is more dreadful than that of Turkey—but without Turkish honesty. (Aurora.)
BY THE MAILS.
FRANKFORT, (Ky.) May 18. Dear Sir, "All the troops except one company march from here in the course of six days for Fort Adams and Natchitoches. The Indians have been threatening us all winter—I expect they will get to be very troublesome now the troops are going."
"Lieut. Hughes has returned some days from the Mississippi, with all the Ojibwa prisoners—They cost him 100 dollars each as a ransom. They consisted principally of women and children. Two of the nation were waiting here all winter. An old fellow among them, who suspected his wife of some gallantries, on her arrival here, cut her ears crosswise, and cut her hair off."
PHILADELPHIA, June 5. WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE? Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London to his friend in Philadelphia. "The physicians of this city have lately agreed by a large vote that the yellow fever is not a contagious, and of course not an im- portable disease. All the American quarantine laws therefore are only to many vexatious and expensive regulations."
Another extract of a letter from a gentleman in Edinburgh to his friend in Philadelphia. "The physicians of this city have unanimously agreed that the yellow fever is a disease as certainly though not as uniformly contagious as the small pox. Of course it is an im- portable disease, and your only safety lies in the rigid observance of your quarantine laws."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Liverpool to his friend in Philadelphia. "The physicians of this place have at a late and numerous meeting agreed that the yellow fever is both an imported disease, and likewise that it sometimes originates in the United States from local filth. They therefore recommend the observance of quarantine laws and of domestic cleanliness as the most certain way of fencing out the evil."
MIRANDA.
The reports concerning Miranda have been so various and contradictory, that truth is scarcely perceptible in the midst of these confused accounts. From a source which we conceive authentic, we shall attempt to state such facts for the public information as may be considered correct.
It is well known that Miranda proceeded from Jacquetual to the little island of Aruba, situated a small distance to leeward of Curacoa. He left it about the 15th of April with the Leander and his two schooners (the Bee and Bacchus) and was attempting a landing near the province of Coro, where his little squadron fell in with two Spanish privateers, one of fourteen, the other of twelve guns, fitted out at La Guira, by the government of Caraccas. The Leander after endeavouring to engage the flouter, suddenly withdrew from the combat, crowded sail and escaped. The schooners left to their own fate, and after a willing resistance, struck their colours to the smallest of the privateers. Two young Spaniards who were on board of one of the schooners anticipating their inevitable fate, threw themselves overboard and were drowned. The remainder of the crew were carried into Porto Cavello, where they were committed to jail. Some of the leading men, young Smith among them, were immediately ordered up to Caraccas.
The schooners were entirely laden with ammunition of all kinds, and a considerable number of proclamations in the Spanish language, from Miranda's press, conceived in terms, well calculated for the object of inflaming the minds of the Spanish colonists. The fate of these unfortunate adventurers cannot be doubted. The Spanish government, viewing them in no other light than pirates most of them will be led to the block or the gallows.
Viewing this expedition as having thus terminated in the defeat and ruin of its authors, it were much to be wished that no suspicions had been excited against our government, on the ground of their encouraging or winking at it. To avert the serious consequences which are impending, it is to be hoped, in the approaching judicial investigation of this subject, a just, clear and explicit refutation will be given to the imputations which have been publicly made; otherwise it is to be feared, that our national character will receive a stain which no time can erase. Phil. Gaz.
NEW YORK, June 7.
A letter from Lisbon, dated April 15, to a gentleman in this city, contains the following postscript:— "Since sealing my letter, accounts have come in, that the French frigate Topaze, of 44 guns, was taken this morning 5 leagues from the rock of Lisbon, after an action of 3 hours." He adds, that the Topaze had been blockaded at Lisbon 5 months, and ventured out that morning.
The ship Hope, Dyer, from the city of Santo Domingo for Baltimore, was captured off Sandy Hook, on Thursday, by the British ship Leander (who has renewed the blockade of our port) and ordered for Halifax.
A Spanish schooner from Laguira arrived at the City of Santo Domingo a few days before captain Fitzgerald failed, which had been boarded by two Spanish government brigs in pursuit of Miranda, and had three men impressed. Captain F. informs us that the negroes had taken, pillaged, and burnt a small village to the leeward of the city of St. Domingo.
TRENTON, (N. J.) JUNE 2. On Tuesday last came on, at the Circuit Court for the county of Burlington, before the Chief Justice, and by a special jury, the trial of the action of Miss Mary F. Stockton, against Thomas Hopkins, for slander. This interesting cause lasted until 2 o'clock of Friday, when, after retiring for a short time, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, and five thousand dollars, being the full amount of the damages laid in the plaintiff's declaration.
Massachusetts Election.
BOSTON, JUNE 13. On Wednesday forenoon, while the House were debating on an amendment offered to the report of the Election Committee by Mr. UPHAM, Mr. KING rose and observed, that as it had been ascertained, that there were returns included in the calculations in the report, which were not conformable to the requisitions of the constitution, and must be rejected; and that as it would appear, when those returns were rejected, that Gov. STRONG was re-elected; he moved that the further consideration of the report should be suspended. This motion was carried.
Mr. BIGELOW then moved, that the return from Lincolnville should be rejected, as it did not appear in the return when the votes were given. This motion was carried unanimously.
Mr. BACON then moved, that the return from Cambridge, which appeared by the date of the certificate of the Selectmen (April 29) not to have been sealed in town-meeting, should be rejected, carried unanimously.
It was next moved to re-commit the report, that it might be brought into a new draft; which was agreed to.
In the afternoon, the committee reported, that the House should concur with the Senate, in the report of the joint committee as taken into a new draft. This draft merely stated, that his Excellency CALEB STRONG, had a majority of the votes for Governor, and the Hon. WM. HEATH a majority of the votes for Lieutenant Governor, and were elected to those offices. This report was unanimously accepted; and sent to the Senate for concurrence.
In the Senate the new draft was committed. In about half an hour the committee recommended a concurrence with the House, which was unanimously agreed to.
A committee was then appointed to wait upon his Excellency Gov. STRONG, and the Hon. Mr. HEATH, and inform them of their election, and that the Legislature is ready to administer the necessary oaths of office, at any time most agreeable to them.
Yesterday the Senate and House of Representatives assembled in Convention, when His Excellency Gov. STRONG, attended by the Council, entered the Representatives' Chamber, and His Excellency the Governor took the oaths of office, and declaration of his election was made by the Sheriff of Suffolk; after which the Governor and Council withdrew.—The Convention then proceeded to the choice of Counsellors, when the Hon. Messrs. Howe, Maynard, Hill, Deane, Cessan, Childs, Woodman, Farley and Willis, were chosen. The members of the Senate then withdrew.
It is supposed the gentlemen now chosen to the Council will resign, and that an election will be made at large this day.
The following letter was received from the Hon. WILLIAM HEATH:— To the Honorable Senate and the Honorable House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
GENTLEMEN,
I HAVE been notified, by a very respectable committee of both Houses, that I have been elected Lt. Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the year ensuing, by a majority of the votes of the electors.
Impressed with the most lively sense of gratitude, for this mark of confidence and esteem, I present to you, and through you to my fellow citizens, my most sincere and hearty thanks. Having been more than forty years in public life, contemporary, with the early efforts of American rights, and the adoption of measures for their defence, and near the illustrious WASHINGTON, during the revolutionary war, in the most difficult, perilous and interesting periods our country has as yet experienced, the prime of my life has passed away, and I have arrived at nearly the common age of man, when the vigour of the mind abates, and the most splendid offices cease to charm.
I have seen my beloved country in deep distress, struggling to retain the life of that equal liberty which Heaven has given as an unalienable legacy to man; I have seen her triumph in peace, sovereignty and independence; forming constitutions of civil government, selected and combined of principles calculated for durability, superior to those found in any other republics yet seen. I now see her under a wise and prudent administration of the general government, respected abroad, and prosperous at home, beyond a parallel in any other nation; and this, my native State, whose prosperity is the unceasing wish of my heart, one of the most respectable and prosperous among her sisters.
Pausing with this point of view, with thankful admiration, although a laudable ambition to serve my country, and a long public life, which has rendered its duties familiar, tend to excite a wish for continuance in it, realon points me to retirement, rather than to the acceptance of a new station. I do, therefore, decline qualifying myself to attempt a discharge of the duties of the Honorable Office to which I have been elected.
Befeeching the all wise Counsellor, to guide and direct the Legislature in all the important business which may come before them, and that this Commonwealth, and the United States, may be a name and a praise in the earth, to long as time shall endure, I have the Honor to be, with the most
SALES of Gentlemen your mch of W. HEATH. Roxbury, June 12, 1806.
According to the last report, which has been accepted in the Legislature, the whole number of votes are 72,784—necessary to make a choice 36,393—Gov. STRONG has 36,433, and therefore a majority of 40.
JUNE 14. Yesterday the two Houses in convention at 11 o'clock to choose nine Counsellors at large, in the room of nine chosen the day before from the Senate, as the Constitution directs, who declined to serve.
The joint votes being 418, the following Gentlemen have each about 260 and are chosen—viz. Hon. LEVI LINCOLN, WM. EUSTIS, DANIEL KILHAM, SAMUEL FOWLER, THOMAS HAZARD, Jun. MARSHALL SPRING, BENJ. J. PORTER, NATHAN WESTON, WM. WIDGERY.
The Federal Ticket contained the names of the Hon. Nathan Cushing, Henry Knox, David Cobb, Stephen Bullock, Bezaleel Taft, Benjamin Pickman, Jun. Artemas Ward, S. Dexters, Jr. and A. P. Fernald, who had 158 votes.
The Convention then proceeded to the choice, separately, of Treasurer and Secretary for the Commonwealth.—The Hon. T. J. SKINNER, Esq. was chosen Treasurer; and the Hon. JONATHAN L. AUSTIN, Esq. of Cambridge, was chosen Secretary of the Commonwealth by large majorities.
Afternoon.—The two Houses met again in convention for the choice of Notaries Public for the several Counties. The following republican gentlemen were chosen by large majorities for Suffolk, viz.—ROBERT GARDNER, Esq. BENJAMIN HOMANS, Esq. EDWARD JONES, Esq. JOSEPH LORING, Jun. Esq.
The Convention set till near 8 o'clock and completed the choice for 8 counties, with large majorities for the republican candidates.
AMHERST, (N. H.) JUNE 10. Newhampshire Legislature.
On Wednesday the 11th inst. the Government of this State was organized at Hopkinton for the current year. The Hon. CLEMENT STORER was chosen President of the Senate; and the Hon. SAMUEL BELL, unanimously chosen Speaker of the House of Representatives. The same gentlemen as last year, we understand, were chosen Clerks of the two branches of the Legislature; and Messrs. CARRIGAIN and GILMAN re-elected Secretary and Treasurer. The vacancies in the Senate were filled—District No. 3, William White, Esq.; No. 12, Peter Carleton, Esq. The whole number of votes for Governor was 20,573; of which
His Excellency JOHN LANGDON had 15,277 TIMOTHY FARRAR, Esq. 1,720 JOHN T. GILMAN, Esq. 1,553 JEREMIAH SMITH, Esq. 92 OLIVER PEABODY, Esq. 866 Scattering, 255
On Thursday, His Excellency met both branches of the Legislature, and delivered the following
SPEECH:
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives THE citizens of this State having thought proper, by their free suffrages, to elect me their Chief Magistrate for the present year, I cannot but consider it as highly honorable, and as demanding from me my most sincere and grateful acknowledgements.
The unanimity and harmony, that has prevailed through the State for the last year, must give great satisfaction to every reflecting mind as it affords good ground to hope, that those of us, who have heretofore differed in political sentiments, are yielding to each other in our opinions; and we may reasonably expect, that the time is not far distant, when we shall be a united as well as a happy people.
Amidst the important changes and revolutions that have taken place in the affairs of some of the great Nations of Europe, which the United States are immediately connected, it has necessarily been extremely difficult for the General Government to prevent our country from being involved in their wars and disputes. In this trying situation we must have observed the hand of Divine Providence, guiding the councils of our Nation, and blessing it with an administration, whose prudence, justice and talents ought to be universally acknowledged.
I most sincerely congratulate my fellow citizens, that peace has been preserved—that we have escaped from all the dangers, which have surrounded us—and for the happy prospects we have now in view.
In transacting the business of the present session of the Legislature, your attention will be called to the unfinished matters of the last, and to the local affairs, which will naturally present themselves from different parts of the State.

Miscellaneous Repository.  UNFADING BEAUTY. First printed, 1640. FROM PERRY'S COLLECTION. He that loves a rosy cheek, Or a coral lip admires, Or from star-like eyes does seek Fuel to maintain his fires; As old time makes these decay, So his flames must waste away. But a smooth and steadfast mind, Gentle thoughts, and calm desires, Hearts with equal love combin'd, Kindle never-dying fires; Where these are not, I despise, Lovely cheeks, or lips or eyes.
Discoveries made by the Microscope. From Sturm's Reflections, and philosophical and pious Contemplations on the Works of Nature. NATURE is in small objects what she is in great ones. There is no less order and harmony in the construction of the mite, than in that of the elephant. The only difference is that the weakness of our sight prevents us from penetrating into the nature and organization of small bodies, which often escape our eyes, and which we can perceive only by the assistance of glasses. Microscopes have made us acquainted with a new world of vegetables and animals. They teach us that objects which the naked eye cannot discover, have extent, parts and form. Let us mention some examples of it to lead us to praise God, whose glory manifests itself so wonderfully in small objects. Every sand appears round, when we examine it with our eyes only; but by the assistance of a glass, we may observe that every grain is different both in size and shape. Some are perfectly round, others square, others conical, but mostly irregular. And what is still more astonishing, is that by means of a microscope, which makes objects appear many times larger than they are, we may discover, in the grains of sand, a new animal world; for it has been found that their cavities contain insects. In cheese there are little worms called mites, which appear to the naked eye mere dots, whilst with a microscope they are proved to be insects of a singular figure. They have not only eyes, mouth and feet, but a transparent body, furnished with long hair, in the form of prickles. As for the vegetable kingdom, it is found in the mouldy substance which usually sticks to damp bodies. It presents a thick forest of trees and plants; where the branches, leaves, flowers and fruit can be clearly distinguished. The bud, before it opens, is but a little green ball; and it does not become white till it has blown. You would as little expect to find these objects in mouldy substances, as that meal which covers the wings of the butterfly should be a bunch of little feathers; if the truth of it had not been proved by the microscope. But we have no occasion to carry our researches to remote objects. Let us limit them to what relates to ourselves. Examine with a microscope the surface of our skin, and you will find that it resembles the scaly skin of a fish. It has been computed that a grain of sand could cover 250 of these scales and that one only of these scales covers 500 pores, and consequently that a space equal to a grain of sand contains 125,000 pores. Thus we see how great our Creator is, even in things which ignorance and prejudice make us consider as trifles. What an immense number of creatures he has spread over the earth! How many objects in nature are concealed from us! We already know above thirty thousand plants, and of insects a vast number of species. But what is that in comparison of the whole? If the bottom of the sea and of rivers could be open to our sight, if we could transport ourselves to other planets, how would our astonishment increase at the immense number of God's creatures! How wonderfully we experience that he has displayed as much wisdom in the most minute objects as in the greatest! Even the smallest bodies are as complete and regular as those prodigious ones whose circumference is calculated by millions. The Creator provides with the same goodness for the wants of the insect which crawls in the dust, as for those of the whale which appears like an island in the midst of the waves. Let us imitate, in this, the example of the Deity. Let the least of creatures feel our benevolence; since our common Author vouchsafes to preserve their existence.
Longevity. —Mr. Bingley, in his tour thro' North Wales, speaking of the healthiness of the vale of Evesham, says, (on the authority of Lord Littleton) that not long ago, there died in that neighbourhood an honest Welsh farmer, who was 105 years of age. By his first wife he had thirty children, ten by his second, four by his third, and seven by his two concubines. His youngest son was eighty one years younger than the eldest—800 persons that descended from his body, attended his funeral. Lon. Pap.
