EIGHTH CONGRESS of the UNITED STATES, at the Fifth Session begun and held at the City of Washington, in the Territory of Columbia, on Monday the seventeenth of October, one thousand eight hundred and three.
AN ACT
Supplementary to the act, entitled An act relative to the election of President and Vice President of the United States, and declaring the officer who shall act as President, in case of vacancies in the offices of President and Vice President.
BE it enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That whenever the amendment proposed during the present session of congress, to the constitution of the United States, respecting the manner of voting for the President and Vice President of the United States, shall have been ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, the Secretary of state shall forthwith cause a notification thereof to be made to the executive of every state, and shall also cause the same to be published in at least one of the newspapers printed in each state, in which the laws of the United States are annually published:—The executive authority of each state shall cause a transcript of the said notification to be delivered to the electors appointed for that purpose; who shall first thereafter meet in such state for the election of a President and Vice President of the United States: and whenever the said electors shall have received the said transcript of notification, or whenever they shall meet more than five days subsequent to the publication of the ratification of the above mentioned amendment in one of the newspapers of the state, by the Secretary of state, they shall vote for President, and Vice President of the United States, respectively in the manner directed by the above mentioned amendment, and having made and signed three certificates of all the votes given by them, each of which certificates shall contain two distinct lists, one of the votes given for President, and the other, of the votes given for Vice President: they shall seal up the said certificates, certifying on each, that lists of all the votes of such state given for President, and of all the votes given for Vice President, is contained therein, and shall cause the said certificates to be transmitted and disposed of, and in every other respect act in conformity with the provisions of the act to which this is a supplement. And every other provision of the act to which this is a supplement, and which is not virtually repealed by this act, shall extend and apply to every election of a President and Vice President of the United States, made in conformity to the above mentioned amendment to the constitution of the United States.
And whereas the above mentioned amendment may be ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the states, and thereupon become immediately valid, to all intents and purposes, as part of the constitution, on a day so near the day fixed by law for the meeting of the electors in the several states, that the electors shall not in every state be apprized of the said ratification, and may vote in a manner no longer conformable with the constitution, as amended; whereby several states might be deprived of their vote in the election of a President and Vice President: for remedy whereof,
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That the electors who shall be appointed in each state for election of a President and Vice President of the United States, shall at every such election, unless they shall have received a transcript of the notification of the ratification of the above mentioned amendment to the constitution, or unless they shall meet more than five days subsequent to the publication of the said ratification by the Secretary of State, in one of the newspapers of the state, vote for President and Vice President of the United States, in the following
manner, that is to say: they shall vote for two persons as President and Vice President, in conformity with the first section of the second article of the Constitution. And in other respects act in conformity with the provisions of the act to which this act is a supplement; and they shall likewise vote for one person as President, and for one person as Vice President, in conformity with the above mentioned amendment of the constitution; and in other respects act in conformity with the provisions of the first section of this act. But those certificates only, of votes given for President and Vice President of the United States, shall be opened by the President of the Senate, for the purpose of being counted, which shall contain the list or lists of votes given in conformity with the constitution, as in force on the day fixed by law for the meeting of the electors by whom the said votes shall have been given.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That whenever, by the provisions of the second section of this act it shall be the duty of the electors for any state to vote in conformity, both with the constitution, and of the proposed amendment thereto, the executive authority of such state, shall cause six lists of the names of the electors of the state to be made and certified, and to be delivered to the said electors on or before the day fixed by law for them to meet and vote for President and Vice President; and the said electors shall enclose one of the said lists in each of the certificates by them made and sealed, in conformity to the provisions of this act, and of the act to which this is a supplement.

AN ACT
Farther to protect the commerce and seamen of the United States, against the Barbary powers.
BE it enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, in Congress assembled, That for the purpose of defraying the expenses of equipping, officering, manning, and employing such of the armed vessels of the United States, as may be deemed requisite by the President of the United States, for protecting the commerce and seamen thereof, and for carrying on warlike operations against the regency of Tripoli, or any other of the Barbary powers, which may commit hostilities against the United States, and for the purpose also of defraying any other expenses incidental to the intercourse with the Barbary powers, or which are authorized by this act: A duty of two and an half per centum ad valorem, in addition to the duties now imposed, by law, shall be laid, levied and collected upon all goods, wares and merchandise, paying a duty ad valorem, which shall after the thirtieth day of June next, be imported into the United States from any foreign port or place: And an addition of ten per centum shall be made to the said additional duty in respect to all goods, wares and merchandise imported in ships or vessels not of the United States; and the duties imposed by this act shall be levied and collected in the same manner, and under the same regulations and allowances as to drawbacks, mode of security and time of payment respectively, as are already prescribed by law in relation to the duties now in force on the articles on which the said additional duty is laid by this act.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That a distinct account shall be kept of the duties imposed by this act, and the proceeds thereof shall constitute a fund, to be denominated "The Mediterranean Fund," and shall be applied solely to the purposes designated by this act: And the said additional duty shall cease and be discontinued after the expiration of three months after the ratification by the President of the United States, of a treaty of peace with the regency of Tripoli; unless the United States should then be at war with any other of the Barbary powers, in which case the said additional duty shall cease and be discontinued at the expiration of three months after the ratification by the President of the United States of a
treaty of peace with such power: Provided however, That the said additional duty shall be collected on all such goods, wares and merchandise, liable to pay the same as shall have been imported previous to the day on which the said duty is to cease.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the President of the United States, if he shall deem it necessary, shall be, and is hereby authorized to cause to be purchased or built, officered, manned and equipped, two vessels of war, to carry not more than sixteen guns each, and likewise to hire or accept on loan in the Mediterranean sea, as many gun boats as he may think proper.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That a sum not exceeding one million of dollars, to be paid out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, shall be, and the same is hereby appropriated, (in addition to the sum heretofore appropriated for the same objects) for the purpose of defraying any of the expenses authorized by this act, which may be incurred during the present year: Or if necessary the President of the United States is hereby authorized to borrow the said sum, or such part thereof as he may think proper, at a rate of interest not exceeding six per centum per annum, from the bank of the United States, which is hereby empowered to lend the same, or from any other body or bodies politic or corporate, or from any person or persons: and so much of the proceeds of the duties laid by this act, as may be necessary, shall be and is hereby pledged for replacing in the treasury, the said sum of one million of dollars, or so much thereof as shall have been thus expended, and for paying the principal and interest of the said sum, or so much thereof as may be borrowed, pursuant to the authority given in this section: And an account of the several expenditures made under this act shall be laid before Congress during their next session.

POLITICAL.
From the BALTIMORE AMERICAN. The United States at peace with the whole civilized world.
Twenty-two years have elapsed since the close of our revolutionary contest. During this period we have had serious differences with France, England, Spain, and other unusual sources of embarrassment. We were considerably in debt to the government of France; and we were deeply indebted to the subjects of England. We had our boundaries to settle with England and Spain. Some of our citizens had strong attachments to France, and others to England. The French revolution, with the war it gave rise to, shook Europe to her centre, and drove from their strongest holds of neutrality all the powers of Europe, without an exception, whose interest dictated peace. Amidst this universal convulsion of the civilized world we have preserved peace, we have paid off our debts, we have multiplied our resources, improved the face of our country, doubled our population, extended our commerce beyond all precedent, and have in addition to all this, not only preserved but improved our liberty.
Whence these mighty and astonishing effects? Can they arise from climate? Even Montesquieu, with the full force of his predilection to a favourite theory, could not, were he alive, find any reason for its application here. Does it arise from our superior wisdom? We have for regret that in all the departments of science other than political we are inferior to several European nations. Can it flow from peculiar virtues? Unfortunately we are not exempt from the vices of other communities. No. It is not to be traced to any extraordinary physical or mortal properties of our citizens; but to the nature of their government; to their republican institutions; to the responsibility of their rulers to them; to the patriotism which a free people cherishes; and to the progressive diffusion of knowledge which it spreads among the people.
Philosophy has repeated the declaration that war is the greatest scourge of humanity; and that it is the interest of every people to remain at peace. That this is their interest no one doubts. But how has this interest been protected by the vice gerents of Deity, as kings are impiously called? There pride, ambition and folly have set at naught the happiness of the nations they ruled, and heedlessly driven them to arms in support of every frivolous pretension, however unfounded. During the period of peace with which we have been blessed, England has been engaged in war twelve years; France as many; Spain about eight years! every other European power has been engaged in one or more wars, and one sovereign state has been totally extinguished.
The Speech of Governor STRONG, may be considered as evidence of the increasing growth of republicanism in Massachusetts. There is no sentiment in this speech which republicans will not subscribe to, both in theory and practice; a more happy illustration of the true principles of republican government could not well be conceived. Is then the author a republican? Has he forsaken the standard of federalism? No—his federalism is as undoubted as ever. The old School does not claim in the United States a more ardent disciple. But his ardour is restrained or qualified by the prudent maxims of a Machiavel. To divide and conquer, is the last resource of federalism—and perhaps no man is better calculated to succeed in this way than Mr. STRONG. But he will not succeed. The republicans of Massachusetts will not be duped by smooth speeches. They will not be amused with the shadow of republicanism, when they can as well enjoy the substance; and in the language of a toast, given at a late festival, we hope, that at the next election, "they may turn one Strong, that Strong may be turned out."

New-Hampshire Legislature.
Governor's SPEECH.
Mr. President, & Gentlemen of the Senate, Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
ON this annual meeting, designated by our constitution of Government for the purpose of transacting such business as the public good may require, it must afford much satisfaction to the Representatives of a free people that health and private felicity are so generally enjoyed throughout this State; and while, with grateful hearts, we acknowledge the kindness of Divine Providence in these blessings, may it be our pleasure, as it has become our duty, by the solemn obligations which we have taken upon ourselves, to use all the constitutional means in our power for promoting and preserving the civil and religious welfare of our Fellow-Citizens.
A letter from the President of the United States, with an Act of Congress proposing an alteration, as it respects the choosing of a President and Vice-President, was laid before the Legislature, at their last session, and the consideration thereof postponed to the present. That system of Government was framed and adopted after much solemn deliberation—provision was wisely made for alterations, as time and experience might point out the necessity thereof—but the reason for a change ought to be clear and strong; lest, while endeavouring to avoid some apparent inconvenience, greater unforeseen disadvantages are produced; and by one change after another the Constitution be essentially altered, and the harmony of the system destroyed.
In the course of the present year Electors are to be appointed for the purpose of voting for President and Vice-President of the United States. The act of the Legislature respecting Electors, passed in June, 1800, being temporary; it will be necessary that another act should be passed in the present session.
The frequent escapes of criminals and others from our common prisons seems to require the attention of the Legislature to the subject. When the hope of impunity is great, one means of preventing crimes is wanting. If some plan could be devised, and carried into execution, for confining crim-

als to labor, it might have a tendency to reform them; or at least those who were able to labor, might earn their living without expense to the public.
A box, containing copies of Laws of the United States, was received in April last; they have been brought to this place to be disposed of, as you may think proper to direct. They are those passed at the first session of the seventh Congress, which session ended in May, 1802. The Laws since that time have not been received.
It will afford me much satisfaction to co-operate with you, Gentlemen, in such measures as are calculated to promote and secure the lasting welfare of our Fellow-Citizens.
JOHN TAYLOR GILMAN. May 12, 1804.
ANSWER OF THE SENATE.
May it please your Excellency, Agreeably to the suffrages of our fellow-citizens, we have assembled for transacting such business, as the public good may require; yet, while we contemplate with grateful hearts the kindness of Divine Providence, in the distribution of health and private felicity, so generally enjoyed throughout this State, we frankly acknowledge our unworthiness, and feel sensible of our inability to discharge all those important duties, which the solemn obligations we have taken upon ourselves demand, and the public welfare require; and no constitutional means in our power, for promoting and preserving, the welfare of our fellow-citizens, in their civil and religious liberties shall fail for want of our support and honest exertions to put them in operation.
The proposed amendment of our federal Constitution, respecting the designation in the choice of President & Vice-President of the United States, will, without doubt be decided the present session. We coincide with your Excellency, that the system of our Federal Government, was framed and adopted after much solemn deliberation by the collected wisdom and talents of our nation—and that provision was wisely made for alteration, as time and experience might point out necessity therefor; We shall therefore give it that due consideration which its importance demands. We are alarmed and view with concern, the frequent escapes from our common Prisons, and the increase of convicts in our Courts of Justice; and we feel more and more convinced that the present code of our criminal laws are deficient, and require our immediate attention. The only effectual method, we humbly presume, will be to erect a State prison, under proper regulations, where convicts may be confined to labor, and prevent that waste of public money, yearly expended under the existing laws, without having any tendency to restrain or reform, the vicious and unprincipled part of mankind, which have been so multiplied in the community of this State.
Accept Sir, our congratulations on your re-election to the office of first Magistrate in our State Government; your experience united with talents, worthy the station in which your Excellency presides, affords us assurance that you will cheerfully unite with us, in such measures, as will tend to secure the lasting welfare of our fellow citizens; and with pleasure, we assure your Excellency, that we shall pay the strictest attention to any measures you shall please to communicate to us, as well as to those you have already communicated.
ANSWER OF THE HOUSE.
May it please your Excellency, THE House of Representatives cordially join with your Excellency in the sentiment, that it affords cause of congratulation that health and private felicity are so generally enjoyed throughout this State, and acknowledge with gratitude the kindness of that Divine Providence, which hath conferred upon us so great a share of public and private prosperity. We hope and trust, that in the respective situations in which the suffrages of our fellow-citizens have placed us, we shall faithfully discharge the duties devolved upon us, and use all the constitutional means in our power to promote and preserve the civil and religious rights and privileges of our fellow citizens.
The Act of Congress, proposing an alteration in the mode of electing a President and Vice-President of the United States, will receive that early and attentive consideration which its importance demands.
The Constitution of the United States was formed and adopted upon the most wise and mature deliberation, and is happily calculated to attain its object—the liberty and happiness of the citizens; but as in all other human systems, time and experience point out alterations which would be productive of general utility, the constitution has therefore wisely provided the means by which they might be effected. Such alterations ought to be
made only upon due consideration, after the fullest view of the subject, and upon tracing the operation to its remotest consequences lest whilst endeavoring to avoid apparent inconveniences more serious evils might be produced. We are urged by the most powerful considerations to guard against essentially altering or impairing that system which guards our dearest rights, and which under a wise and patriotic administration, affords so great a share of national respectability and private happiness.
The state of our common Prisons, and the devising some mode of punishing particular species of crimes, by confinement to labor, are subjects deserving legislative consideration.
Some plan for this purpose, which would take from criminals all reasonable expectations of escaping with impunity, and which would have the greatest tendency to reform them, and to lessen or defray the expenses incident to their conviction, must be wished for by all who feel an interest in the public security and happiness. The subjects to which our attention has been or may be called, shall receive our consideration. And, in all such measures as are calculated to promote the best interests of our constituents, we shall with pleasure co-operate with your Excellency.
From a late Paris Paper.
Interesting account of the manner of PICHÉGRU's death.
ON the 6th of April, the Commissary of Government, appeared before the criminal and special Tribunal of the department of Seine, sitting at the Palace of Justice in Paris, and reported,
That he had received intelligence from one of the Judges of the Tribunal, whose office it was to prefer articles of accusation against Georges, Moreau and Pichegru, that the latter had, on the preceding evening, committed suicide in the prison of the Temple. He demanded that the Tribunal take the subject into their immediate consideration.
A committee was accordingly appointed to investigate and report agreeably to the general usage in such cases; who, having visited the prison and heard the examination of the keeper, ordered,
That the body of the Ex-General Pichegru be inspected by six of the most eminent physicians and surgeons of the department; and that they certify the cause of his death.
Being carried to the temple, and having there taken the oath prescribed by the laws, the said physicians and surgeons unanimously declared that being conducted by the gaoler into the chamber which had been occupied by the Ex-General, they found there upon a bed, a corpse which they recognised to be masculine: that the body appeared to be that of a man between 40 and 45 years of age; his height a metre and 78 centi metres; his hair a dark brown; arched eyebrows of the same colour; fore head large and bald; clear grey blue eyes; long nose, thick, flat at the end, and hollow at the top, &c.: That after having minutely examined the said corpse, they remarked a circular impression on the neck about the breadth of two fingers, and much marked on the left side; that the frangulation was effected by the help of a cravat of black silk, which had been twisted so tightly round the neck with a stick, as to have produced death; that the face was livid, the jaws locked, and the tongue pressed between the teeth; that the extremities were cold; the muscles of the fingers and hands very much contracted; that in their opinion, the corpse was that of the Ex-General Pichegru; and that he committed suicide by strangling himself.
The person of Pichegru was identified by ten citizens, to whom he was well known in his life time who were severally examined, and made oath of the fact.
The soldiers on guard near the chamber where the suicide was committed, the keepers and the turnkeys of the prison, were then interrogated as to what they knew of the circumstances attending it; but, (excepting one, who had heard during his watch, about 3 o'clock in the morning an uncommon coughing, as of a person under pressure) they were entirely ignorant. The turnkey who had waited on Pichegru at supper in the evening, and locked him up at ten o'clock, deplored that he had kept the key of his chamber in his pocket from that time until 7 in the morning, when he went into the room to light him a fire, and had found him in the situation above described.
Mr. Livingston having resigned the place of Minister Plenipotentiary to the French Republic, General Armstrong, of New-York, we understand, is appointed his successor.

BARBADOES, APRIL 28.
L'Eclair captured on Wednesday last, 10 leagues to windward of Martinique, a large galliot under Swedish colors; with French mails for Martinique and Guadaloupe, and important dispatches for the Captain Generals of those islands. These advise, that 500 troops had been sent from Rochefort for the colonies, and that about 600 more would soon follow, which Bonaparte strongly enjoins may be distributed to the best advantage of the several garrisons, as he shall not be able to furnish them with any further reinforcements for a considerable time. He impresses upon them the necessity of mutual co-operation for the protection of the islands under their government, and that all local means of defence must be resorted to, as for a time he must abandon them to their fate, the more weighty concerns of the Republic at present engrossing all his attention and anxiety.
ROSEAU, (Dominico) MAY 5.
We are sorry to announce that the second March Packet was captured to windward of Barbadoes by the French privateer General Emouf, of 14 guns, and sent into Basseterre, Guadaloupe. She proves to be the Marlbrough, Captain Bell, had sustained a running fight for seven hours in the course of which a gentleman passenger (said to be a proprietor in this island) received a wound, or wounds, of which he is since dead—and, it is added, his funeral was very numerous and respectfully attended. The mails were thrown overboard.
BASSETTERRE, (St. Christo.) MAY 18.
A letter from Dominico, dated the 10th inst. says, "The day before yesterday a frigate called in here, that failed as one of the convoy of the Cork fleet, and gives the melancholy account of their having met with heavy gales off Portugal, where 26 sail of merchantmen and a frigate were lost. The frigate that brings this news is very much injured in her masts and yards, and is gone to Antigua to refit." The Apollo is the frigate said to be lost.
KINGSTON, (Jam.) April 14.
A letter from New-Providence, dated 29th March mentions that the privateer schr. Hazard, lately belonging to that place, but which was captured by a French national vessel and carried into the Havanna, has been fitted out again from thence by the French commissary at that port, and has already taken a ship from this Island, and a barque from Honduras, and carried them into Port Mariel a little to leeward of the Havanna. This vessel, from her superior sailing and force, will greatly annoy the British trade in the Gulf passage. About 300 French troops that were encamped near the Nuevitas, a part of those that were commanded by the late General Nonilles, had arrived at the Havanna.
NEW-ORLEANS, APRIL 23.
SINCE the revenue laws of the United States have been put in force here, business has assumed a new aspect. Trade appears to be brisk. Vessels, which have been dismantled, are repairing and rigging: the shore exhibits the appearance of a continued ship yard; while the levee displays from day to day a great variety of merchandise, lading and unlading, from the vessels: at times it seems covered with cotton from the market to the upper gate. A large and fine ship belonging to J. E. Merill, Esq. has been registered under the laws of the Union, by the name of the Thomas Jefferson ; M. Fortier, Esq. has given one of his ships the name of the Governor Claiborne ; and to another that of the General Wilkinson .
LEXINGTON, (Kentucky) JUNE 5.
A letter from a gentleman in Turkey-island, (Vir.) informs, that one Lockwood has sent 20,000 dollars of counterfeit bank bills into this State, for the purchase of horses. The writer adds, "I am concerned to say, that several persons of respectability, and others high in office, are suspected of being concerned with Lockwood."—The man who engraved the bills betrayed Lockwood; who is in jail at Richmond.
CHARLESTON, (S.C.) MAY 31.
On Sunday night, the 27th inst. between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock, Mr. Richard Johnson, planter, of St. Paul's Parish, hearing a considerable noise among his dogs, adjacent to the house, went out to learn the cause; when he was immediately shot dead upon the spot, receiving several shots in different parts of his body. The perpetrator of this deed is supposed to be a fellow belonging to Mr. Johnson, who has absconded for some time
past. We are concerned to state that Mr. Johnson has left an affectionate wife and five children to lament an irreparable loss.
NORFOLK, JUNE 12.
HORRID MURDER!!!
An industrious Frenchman, named Lewis L'Orient, (but better known in this place by the name of Look Sharp ,) who, for some years kept a retail dry good store in Church-Street, was found murdered in his bed on Sunday morning last, having his throat perforated, and his head and body mangled in a most barbarous and inhuman manner. He was an eccentric character, lived by himself, and notwithstanding his business was confined, till he amassed a large sum of ready cash which he kept by him for the purpose of attending vendues, not having confidence in any one!—A crow-bar and two chisels were found in the house. It is supposed the murderers have got a considerable sum in gold and bank notes. There was near 150 weight of silver in dollars found in the house, which they had not time to carry off. This unfortunate man had a wife and child, which we are told, he sold some years ago, and that she was lately in Baltimore in the capacity of a servant.
A little after the above shocking murder was discovered, a young fellow of the name of Greenlaw or Greenough , was apprehended on suspicion, and after a strict examination, it transpired that the unfortunate man had been gaming with him at a house of ill fame on Saturday night, and had lost some money. The smith that made the crow came forward and made oath, that Greenlaw was the man who ordered and paid for it—This testimony (which we do not wish to state at present) induced the examining Magistrate to commit him to prison; and last evening, a man by the name of Smith was also committed to prison, on suspicion of being an accessory in the above murder.
PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 16.
Two persons were arrested and committed to prison on Thursday evening on suspicion of counterfeiting Bank Notes. They were detected passing counterfeit notes of the Bank of the United States, and when examined, were found possessed of large quantities, to the amount of several thousand dollars. They are believed to be part of the Eastern gang.
NEW-YORK, JUNE 12.
A Paris paper of March 16, has the following extract of a letter from London, dated February 28. "His Majesty is quite recovered in a most extraordinary manner. Dr. Willis came in with a person dressed in the uniform of a French general, and told his Majesty that it was Bonaparte made prisoner; it had the desired effect, so powerful is the name of Bonaparte."
COMMUNICATION.
The unfortunate Colonists of St. Domingo after having bitterly wept over the fatal massacres lately committed at Cape Francois, suspend the course of their sorrows to pay to Mr. Dodge (the late American Vice-Consul at the Cape) that tribute of gratitude and admiration which is due to his noble and spirited efforts to save, at the risk of his own life, many of our wretched countrymen.
We find growing out of the above horrid catastrophe new proofs of that generous, humane and loyal character, which Mr. Dodge constantly professed among us; and for which we little expected this occasion to tender him our most sincere esteem.
Signed, &c.
[Mr. Dodge is a native of Boston.]
SALEM, JUNE 19.
Capt. Masters from the Mediterranean, informs that the French Toulon fleet was really out, and had been seen by the British fleet under Lord Nelson, who had not been able to bring them to action:—that the French consisted of eight sail of the line, and the British only of seven; and the French professed the determination of their fleet to meet the British, after they had evaded them long enough to get their men under good discipline. We think, however, the British force in the Mediterranean is stronger than here stated.
Capt. Masters was informed, by the Lieutenant of a British ship, by whom he was boarded, that the greater part of the men belonging to the Philadelphia frigate, had made a representation to Admiral Nelson, from Tripoli, that they were really British subjects and solicited to be received on board his fleet as such, in order to be released from their present bondage; and that it was expected the Admiral would attend to their request.
Capt. M. spoke a Danish vessel, direct from Tripoli, the master of which informed him, that, added to the impression which the destruction of the Philadelphia frigate had made upon the Tripolines, they were now greatly alarmed by a report that prevailed among them, that besides the frigates,
Commodore Prebble had 12 gun-boats under his command cruising against them. Such a report must serve to restrain the Barbarians in port, and of course increase the security of our commerce.
From the prompt and vigorous measures which Commodore Prebble has hitherto adopted in the Mediterranean, and from the preparations he is said to have been making for hostile measures, we may expect to hear of some bold stroke being struck against Tripoli; and probably, by co-operation with the brother of the reigning Bey, who is in arms to support his claims, to the government, the power of the present enemy of the United States may be overturned.
FROM FRANCE.
Capt. Wilds arrived at Boston, from Rochefort (France) after a passage of 56 days. He reports that the construction of gun-boats and craft had ceased; and the attention of the French appeared directed to the building of men of war. Two seventy fours had been launched at Rochefort, and a ship of 100 guns put up, previous to Capt. W's sailing. Five sail of the line and two frigates, lay in Rochefort-Roads, ready manned, and equipped; and an embargo was daily expected. Capt. W. brought no papers.
The English have a squadron of ships of war and frigates off Rochefort.
FROM NEW-YORK, JUNE 18.
"On Saturday afternoon, the British frigate Cambrian, Capt. Bradley, of 44 guns and 300 men, and the sloop of war Driver, Capt. Lyall, of 18 caronades, both in 7 days from Halifax, anchored in the mouth of the narrows, within a mile of the French frigates Dido & Sybille, both of 44 guns. The French frigates were ready for sea, and would have failed on Saturday morning had the wind served. Bonaparte and Lady went on board early in the morning; but in half an hour after the British vessels anchored, we are informed, they returned to town. It is now conjectured that they will not fail very soon—if they do, the Cambrian and Driver will certainly follow them."
The Driver sloop of war failed from Bermuda on the 25th ult. and stoop only one day at Halifax, when she failed for this port with the Cambrian. The Leander, of 50 guns was under repair at Halifax, and would probably follow in a day or two.
DISTRESSING.
A letter from a person in St. Jago de Cuba, dated May 6, to a friend in Philadelphia, states, that a revolt had taken place among the blacks who had risen and massacred several of the Spanish inhabitants. In addition to these alarming symptoms, armed brigand boats from Hispaniola were daily making incursions on the shore plundering and destroying the inhabitants. Apprehensions were so serious of approaching distress and bloodshed, that the white residents were preparing with all possible expedition to leave the place, the only probable mean of saving their lives.
FROM PHILADELPHIA.
The frigate Constellation , the last vessel destined for the Mediterranean service, left the Eastern Branch on the 11th instant.
As it is fit that public agents should receive censure, when their conduct merit it, so it is proper they should receive a due share of commendation when their actions entitle them to it. In noticing the departure of the last vessel of the squadron, we do not hesitate to say, that the navy department has done its duty. Under the circumstances attending the expedition, the nation had a right to expect promptness and energy. Facts will shew that they have not been disappointed.
On the 7th of April, 1804, the frigate President of 44 guns, the frigates Congress and Constellation of 36 guns each, the Essex of 32 guns, and the John Adams, armed on flute lying in ordinary in the Eastern Branch, were put into commission. In consequence of the captains and superintendant of the yard being engaged on a court of enquiry, some as members of the court, and others as witnesses; they were unable to attend to their respective ships until the 16th of April. From that day an unabating exertion was made to put the ships to sea, and the last of them left the Eastern Branch on the 11th instant, within a period of less than two months.
An intendant of Montpelier having lost his lady, was solicitous that the chief officer of the city should attend her funeral obsequies. This honor the magistracy thought proper to refuse, because it was not customary and might introduce a bad precedent.—With a view, however, to conciliate the favour of persons whom it would not be their interest to offend, they politely added, "If Sir it had been your own funeral, we would have attended with pleasure."

TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 1804.
SUMMARY—FOREIGN.
Intelligence from Europe up to the 27th April, seven days later than before received, have come to hand. Little or nothing has transpired respecting the expedition. Number of French troops from the coast are said to be marching to the interior towards the Rhine and Switzerland. The exertions, to repel the threatened invasion in England and Ireland, have lost none of their vigor. Confirmation of the success of the British in India, and the re-capture of Goree, on the coast of Africa, was received in England. The King's health still remains precarious and it was in contemplation, unless it should be confirmed, to re-establish a Regency in the Prince of Wales. The Emperor of Germany, has ordered that no French emigrant shall reside within 50 miles of the French Republic. The trial of those implicated in the conspiracy at Paris, was to commence on the 5th May. The counsel assigned Moreau, are Chauveau Lagarde & Lamelle. The construction of gun-boats in the French harbours, we are informed, has ceased, and the attention of the French was bestowed on the building of men of war. Two seventy-fours have been launched at Rochefort, and a ship of 100 guns put up. There are now in that harbour five sail of the line and two frigates, ready manned and equipped. The English have a squadron of ships of war and frigates, off Rochefort.
A very solemn and splendid funeral service has been performed in the Roman Catholic chapel in London, for the repose of the soul of the late Duke of Enghien, executed at Paris. All the emigrant Princes, Noblesse, and gentry, in England, were present, excepting the Prince of Conde, and the Duke of Bourbon, grandfather and father of the deceased Duke, who were sick. The number of the English nobility and others present, was prodigious; of whom 800 were ladies.
BRITISH AMITY!!
We have been so much accustomed to the maritime insolence of Great Britain and so familiarised to acts of contempt and outrage from officers of the "Defender of the faith" that the most signal ceases to excite surprise. The one which we are about to record is perhaps without a parallel in the annals of British insolence. It calls for the strongest remonstrances from the proper authority; for an exertion of energy almost "beyond the law."
On Sunday afternoon the ship Pitt, Capt. Campbell from Greenock, arrived at this port with eighty-two passengers on board. The Pitt was boarded within the narrows and about half a mile from the quarantine buoys, by six armed boats, full of men, from the British frigate Cambrian of 44 guns and 300 men, and the Driver Sloop of War of 18 Carronades—both from Halifax. The object of this amicable visit was an impudent demand of hands and a display of other acts of aggression confessedly within our jurisdiction. The Pitt was boarded in great pomp, and without a pang seventeen of her hands and one passenger were pressed!
British insolence, however, did not terminate here. The visiting Health Officer, Dr. Bailey, attempted to board the Pitt, agreeably to his duty, but was repulsed and driven off by the officers and men from the Cambrian frigate and Driver sloop of war, who were all armed & remained on board after the captives were carried away in triumph. Dr. Bailey, unable to perform the duty enjoined by our laws, returned to the quarantine ground.
Mr. Squire, First Lieutenant of our revenue cutter Vigilant, was now dispatched to the Pitt, to do his duty as a revenue officer, but was also driven off with like indignity and contempt!
He now made a second attempt, and approaching the Pitt, emphatically informed the British officers (who still remained on board) that he was a revenue officer of the United States, and was to do his duty as such. To this they replied—d-n the Cutter, the Revenue officer, and the United States! and still refusing to permit him to board, he returned to his station unable to do his duty! The officers of the Cambrian and the Driver took the command from Capt. Campbell, and the Pitt is now riding at anchor just without the quarantine buoys. The Pitt, owing to this unlawful resistance, has not been examined by the Health, nor visited by the Revenue officers.
Dr. Rogers, the Health officer, has very properly and spiritedly protested against this, outrageous conduct.
The above information is derived from an authentic source, and for its correctness may be implicitly relied on.
* The Pitt is a letter of mark.
APPOINTMENT.
DANIEL HUMPHREYS, Esq. United States Attorney for this district.
Republican Citizens of PORTSMOUTH!
The Anniversary of our NATIONAL BIRTH DAY is approaching. That day, which dissolved our allegiance to a lawless tyrant, and gave us rank among the nations of the world. Our Fellow Citizens in the neighboring States and towns are preparing to celebrate this never-to-be-forgotten JUBILEE, with a spirit congenial to the old principles of '75. Let it never be said of the republican citizens of this town, that they have apostatized from the principles of those times which tried the souls and hearts of true Americans. Nor let it be said that we have buried in oblivion the unshaken firmness and patriotism of SAMUEL ADAMS, a HANCOCK, a LANGDON, and a number of other proscribed patriots of '75, aided by the pen of the illustrious THOMAS JEFFERSON, who supported and sealed the Charter Right of our freedom, and declared to the world a free, sovereign, and independent nation.
Arrangements are making for the celebration; and a Subscription List is open at the Gazette Bookstore for the reception of subscribers, who will dine at JEFFERSON HALL.
An ORATION will be pronounced in the Rev. Dr. BUCKMINSTER's Meeting-House, by JOHN WENTWORTH, Esq. of this town.
Extract of a letter from Providence (R. I.) dated June 14, 1804.
"I see with pleasure that tho' you have lost the election of the worthy Mr. Langdon for governor, you have not lost your spirits—and there is no fear, but with a little more perseverance, your labours will be crowned with complete triumph, over the pretenders to federalism, and prove to the enlightened world that republicanism means something, and that, as the universal doctrine in the moral, so republicanism in the political, will save them from political perdition against their will."
If the administrators of our government were men destitute of virtue and morality, incapable of wisely conducting the affairs committed to their trust and seeking only self aggrandizement as is slanderously reported of them by the tories and pretended federalists, there might be some reason in endeavoring to alarm the people to look after their interests, and remove them from their offices. But they are well known by the people to possess in the highest degree, the opposite character; and not by the people of the United States only, but throughout the world; as the testimonies of the best and wisest men of other nations has repeatedly evinced. It is their virtues and unshaken fidelity, which excite the vexation and rage of their aspersers; and their enmity to all that is great and good in man—the chief of these remorless scribblers are Coleman of N. York, the British Carpenter in Charleston, and Dr. Park in Boston. Their abuse of the President is beyond all bounds of decency and modesty. His friends and supporters are denounced as proud, overbearing, vindictive aristocrats. These vilifiers, whose consciences are seared, are past shame and remorse, and incapable of blushing. Taking advantage of the freedom of the press, destitute of honor, principle or fear, they care not what they write, however false, vile and dirtily scurrilous.
The Federalists circulated a story that the Democrats had sacrilegiously demolished a Meeting House in Connecticut—but the fact is, that agreeably to a vote of the Congregation, an old decayed Meeting House was taken down in order to build a New One.

—DIED—
At Eastport, (Maine,) on the 31st ult. Mrs. SALOME BARRETT, aged 19, wife of Dr. Wm. Barrett, and eldest daughter of Mr. John Ham, of this town.
On the morning of the 23d. inst. deceased at Berwick, in the 22d. year of her age, Mrs. SARAH GOODWIN, daughter of Mr. Mark Lord, and the wife of Capt. Thomas Goodwin. She had been married but about four months, and with the fairest prospects of happiness to herself and an affectionate husband, was cut down and withered in her bloom. She was soon seized with a cold, which tho' slight to appearance at first, grew into a consumption, which came on so rapidly that she never went out but once after their marriage. She was one of the most amiable of the amiable sex, of mild and gentle disposition and manners, exceedingly beloved by her friends and acquaintances, and by the poor, whose hearts had been gladdened by her acts of kindness and benevolence; and long, very long, will her memory be lwee, and tenderly cherished by her deeply affected, bereaved husband and friends. She bore her pain and distress with great patience. And as she was an example of amiable virtues in life, in her death she is an example and warning to survivors, of the uncertainty of all earthly prospects, and of the fleeting, momentary duration of the glory and goodlines of man, which fades like a flower; and as the tho' fair, has faded.
