MISCELLANY.
For the New-Hampshire Gazette.
Extracts from the FAITHFUL REMEMBRANCER—In Continuation. No. 3d.
THERE are valuable Ancient Writers, besides those of the sacred scriptures, who have taught the precepts of virtue, piety and humanity. Those who explode the latter, may as well reject the former, since both agree in literary instruction, and they may as well reject their own professed principles of virtue, which it is happy for them if they adhere to in practice. —Alas! for such as despite the sacred councils which their consciences approve.
How many excellent instructions do the scriptures administer, which the wise and discerning mind at once approves and admires! The rejecters of the scriptures have approved some parts, and thereby destroyed their arguments against them.
It is enquired why men, after suffering the greatest evils by their intemperance, and other vices allied to it, will not reform? The scriptures afford just and affecting answers to the enquiry. They inform us that, by their vices, the unhappy subjects of them become so enervated and so disordered both in body and mind, that the work of reform is become with them impossible; though not with Divine power, which hath indeed effected wonders in this respect, and to that power those miserable wretches are encouraged to apply by arguments the most consoling and animating. It gives power to the faint, and to those who have no might, renews strength.
Are we solicitous to know the cause of frequent diseases, plagues and burning, devouring fevers; shall we not find, from the sacred scriptures, that they are generated by our intemperance and uncleanness? yes: and we may thence learn too the causes of our unwillingness to relinquish those vices, and the one exists not without the other, and why our reforms are but partial, and therefore ineffectual; —Why the nations have not yet learned to have done with their slaughter houses, and desiling the earth with the blood and carcasses of its inhabitants, polluting the air they breath? —search—diligently search the sacred, instructive, and monitory records of antiquity; and thence learn how Divine wrath is nature's resentment of the injuries ye do her and yourselves. In vain shall the vicious hope to escape its resentment; in vain do they fly for relief to physicians and medicines, and other prescribed remedies. The Author of our being only can remove our plagues, with their real cause; He only can cure our disordered minds and bodies; teach us to rein in our unruly passions; point out to us the path of rectitude, and lead us into the enjoyment of rational gratifications, to the possession of substantial, sublime and permanent happiness.
And surely we cannot attend too early or too seriously to these important truths. If we despite the Divine word in the sacred scriptures, will not the voice of nature arrest our attention, and learn us to tremble at the thought of the consequences of our vices and uncleanness; —till we are at length constrained to apply to the Lord of nature, who alone can remedy our evils; and who doth not willingly afflict any of his creatures; neither is He regardless of the prayer of the destitute—and such are ye—however exalted in the world, or secure in your own wisdom and might; your folly will bring down your loftiness; and the effects of your intemperance, and other vices, will sooner or later convince you that ye are really destitute, and that it is not in man to direct his ways. No: be it known to you, He is too nearly allied to God, to be without Him, wise or happy. The underived origin of Being, from whom we received the power of thinking and acting, must likewise instruct us to think and act aright; or we must unavoidably err. He in whom are all our springs, and to whom we owe our mental light, must give us to see things as they really are, or we in vain boast of discernment.
For a small moment he hath forsaken us; —He hath left us, a little while, to try our own strength—to experience the folly of self-dependance; that He may have the glory [to whom only
it belongs] of rendering us wise and happy.
How far many of us may be allowed to persist in our folly, and to what dreadful misery we may be suffered to reduce ourselves, is a matter which merits deep consideration; and may justly cause trembling and dread. We may well tremble at the thought of living as independent of God, and acting against the course and dictates of nature; against the rectitude and perfection, with a tremendous power, opposes all who perversely resist her council; of wisdom, and regard not her Sovereign LORD; who will not reverse her decrees, since they are those of eternal, unerring wisdom, and the course she pursues intends the stability, glory and felicity of the Universe. To partake of that glory and felicity we must be wholly dependent on God. Self confidence becomes not beings in our condition; who have been, in every age, extremely wretched and miserable through want of a just confidence in the beneficent source of life. Those who rely on God, have perfect peace and security. They rest on that foundation which supports Archangels—and the immense fabric of the creation; and therefore enjoy perfect freedom, safety and felicity. —Trust in the LORD, is a sacred injunction, for in Him is everlasting strength; and that strength shall be yours.
Happy will be the day, when all people shall unite to seek their God! and that long desired day approaches.—Yet, from what we cannot but know of ourselves whether as individuals, societies or nations—[For the Faithful Remembrancer, the friendly Monitor addresses himself to all People, and particularly to the great and leading men of the nations—and may he utter himself with a voice that shall be universally heard!] —Have we not cause then, great cause to fear the seventh, the most awful chastisements? Let us all of every rank, seriously and with solemnity, enter into judgment with ourselves.
If men will not be moved to reform by the most weighty arguments, nor by the most melting eloquence; terrors and distresses must compel them, 'till they find no relief but in Him who hears the prayer of the destitute. In His own times, [and they will be speedily fulfilled, perhaps, by yet more terrible things in Righteousness.] He will instruct the people to call Him Father, and He will answer and say, Here I am. On them He will effect all his glorious purposes: He will adorn them in his own comeliness. They shall possess the new Heavens and new Earth in which Righteousness and purity shall forever dwell. Ought we not to be ever encouraging each other in the belief of this blessedness—to withdraw ourselves from terrors and distresses, by reform, by united application to Him who hears the voice of the people? Our God will abundantly recompense our confidence in Him. Our God gives like himself—gives liberally and upbraids not. His is true liberality—boundless generosity. They that wait for Him shall not be ashamed, shall not be disappointed, and when He, [the King, the blessed, and only potentate,] shall appear in his beauty; they shall say Lo! this is our God; We have waited for Him! Then shall they possess the heavenly country, not one of the inhabitants of which, shall say, I am sick! Then shall they inhabit the celestial city, the name of which is, THE LORD IS THERE!
Those are indeed influenced by the truest wisdom, who aspire after perfection; who seek those pleasures which never cloy; and are advancing to the most consummate enjoyment. How sublimely great—to live to God, to become united with all the happy beings, which people the immense regions of the universe; in fellowship divine! [To be continued.]
Character of a Well Bred Man.
By a LADY. SOME have supposed the fine gentleman and the well bred man, to be synonymous characters; nothing however, can be more opposite. The former leaves nature entirely; the latter improves upon her. He is neither a slave, nor an enemy to pleasure, but approves or rejects, as his reason shall direct. He stoops not to flatter a knave, tho' possessed of a title;
nor does he ever overlook merit, though he should find it in a cottage. His behaviour is affable and respectful, yet not cringing or formal; and his manners are easy and unaffected. He omits no opportunity wherein he can oblige his friends; yet he does it in so delicate a manner, that he seems rather to have received than conferred a favour. He does not profess a passion he never felt, to impose on the credulity of an artless woman; nor will he injure the reputation of another, to please the vanity of any female. He cannot love where he does not esteem; nor does he ever suffer his passions to predominate over his reason. He is ever studious to please without being guilty of meanness or vice. In his friendship, he is steadfast and sincere; and he lives not only for himself, but also for his friends. He is enamoured with virtue, but detests vice. He gives no unnecessary pain to any. He never raises a blush on the cheek of virtue. He has a heart of sympathy and compassion, and when in his power, with inexpressible pleasure wipes the tear from the eye of sorrow.
Politics.
From the Independent Chronicle.
"Steady Habits."
IN all controversies, either religious or political, the parties generally adopt some laconic terms, which give celerity and facility in prosecuting their favorite tenets. Orthodoxy has had a wonderful effect in theological disputes; for who can be opposed to Orthodoxy? who can be an enemy to the true faith? The Calvinist claims this appellation; the Socinian enlists under this banner; the Universalist pleads Orthodoxy as the ground work of his profession; & even the Shaker exclaims, "Orthodoxy! Orthodoxy!" Thus in Religion we are often times led by sounds, without attending to realities. Controversies have often originated from attachment to names, than from spiritual improvements and information; abuse and scurrility are frequently the weapons of opposition, and the purity of the subject is commonly lost in the impurity of the language.
Calumny never made a proselyte, though it generate hypocrites; a man who seeks popularity by sacrificing principle, may accommodate himself to a leading party, but he who has no other monitor than his own conscience, views with the utmost indifference the frowns of his enemies, and observes with ineffable contempt the base designs to injure his reputation. The whole history of the Bible is fraught with similar sentiments, and when those who pretend to profess doctrines contained in that holy record, calumniate as Orators and defame as Politicians, so far from substantiating their belief in what they profess, are, (like the hypocrites emphatically described in that sacred volume) "whitened sepulchres," which within are full of all manner of uncleanness." If a man inculcates the doctrine of our Saviour, "blessed are the peace-makers," and yet violates the injunction by his practice, the sincerity of his faith becomes doubtful.
In Politics, as in Religion, certain terms are used to accomplish particular purposes. "Steady Habits," in Connecticut, has been a significant appellation to designate the different classes of citizens in their political sentiments. When we hear a man in that State, abusing the President, calumniating the administration, degrading every officer in the government, deprecating the repeal of Internal Taxes, and condemning the restoration of the Judiciary system, he generally concludes his outrageous observation with this emphatical declaration, that he is a friend to "Steady Habits!" He will in the most wanton manner vilify the character of his neighbor, who differs from him; violate all the benign attributes of candor and charity; and after anathematizing his opponents as the most abject beings in society, he closes his illiberal remarks with an ejaculation to Heaven, to preserve Connecticut in its "Steady Habits!" he praises God that he is not a Jeffersonian Republican, and that Connecticut is not like Virginia.
How a man can apply the "Steady Habits of Connecticut" in vindication of his abuse to the present administration, is a mystery too intricate to be explained. That State, in all its governmental proceedings, pursues a system the most analogous to Mr. Jefferson's of any in the Union, and yet, wonderful to relate, are opposing his measures, under the false idea that he is leaning on their "Steady Habits." The expenses of their government are brought within the narrowest limit of parsimony; their elections are more frequent than in any other State; their judges are chosen annually; the salaries of their respective officers are provided to a proverb; the people are industrious, and "earn their bread by the sweat of their brow." Notwithstanding which, such has been the infatuation of many honest, well disposed persons, (owing to the deception practiced by the Federalists, in league with a few over heated Clergymen) that the very "Habits" of that respectable State are brought as proofs of the impropriety of the present measures of government.
Why should Connecticut be singled out as the opposer of Mr. Jefferson? If we analyze his conduct, it exactly corresponds with the economical "steady habits" of that State. He has lessened public taxes—he has reduced the number of supernumerary Officers—he has brought the public Expenditures within the revenue arising from Impost—he has placed our Finances on such a basis, that an 8 per cent. Loan, it is probable, will never again be required—a Land Tax cannot be expected to arise under his administration—he has RESTORED the Judiciary to the same state in which WASHINGTON left it, and has carefully avoided burdening the citizens with Taxes for the support of unnecessary Judges. Is it possible then that a real difficulty should exist in Connecticut, when every measure so completely quadrates with their own scale of internal policy? The Yeomanry must be deceived, if they suppose the former expensive system was more calculated for their interest and prosperity; I would venture to appeal to every Farmer, whether the economy of the present, or the extravagance of the last administration, is most congenial to his wishes.
The landed interest is deeply connected with Economy; other branches may struggle under a weight of Taxes, but the Farmer must eventually fall a sacrifice, if his earnings are taken to support an administration founded on the innovating principle, that "a public debt is a public blessing." A public debt is no doubt a private blessing, by providing for a clan of lazy, idle sycophants; but the folly of an opposite doctrine must ever be evident to men, who, from "habit," have become "ready" in preferring among themselves the principles of industry and economy.
It is rather laughable that the "steady habits" of Connecticut should become appropriate to extravagant Federal measures—a Connecticut Farmer in favor of a Land Tax—a Connecticut Manufacturer an advocate for Excises—a Connecticut Merchant a proselyte for Stamp Duties—a Connecticut Christian deplores the repeal of a Duty on his Chaise, which conveys him and his family to the house of worship—a Connecticut Citizen lamenting that an 8 per cent. Loan is not necessary for the expenses of government! These strange absurdities, however, have been the test of Federalism. A Connecticut Clergyman, who sighs for the connection between Church and State, may anathematize those who have rendered such "innovations" unnecessary; or a body of Lawyers may anticipate a decrease of business, in consequence of opposite measures; but it is impossible that the great body of citizens should consider as grievances a contrary line of procedure, unless the grossest deceptions have been practiced on their credulity.
Can it be rationally supposed, that Connecticut will approve of a Judiciary, which claims a controul over the Legislature, when they are so cautious of this branch of government as to choose their judges annually? Can they be in favour of a Land Tax, when their whole interest lies in this species of property? Will they be in favor of an Excise, when their grain furnishes such a supply for Distillery?

Can they approve of the innovation of an eight per cent. loan, when all their transactions are within the old established usage of six per cent? Or can the people confide in the integrity of a few federal Clergymen, when they see a Huntington sacrifice every vestige of decency, and christian benevolence in culminating a clerical brother, mereley for political purposes? "Such things are," but common sense forbids their continuance. It may answer for "half a time," but it cannot be durable, when information dispels the clouds of error and deception. The fact is, the citizens of the most Republican States, have been led to support federal measures not from conviction, but from delusion. The honesty of the people has been practised on by an artful, intriguing Priestly Junto. Not that I do, or ever did, suppose that the Clergy in general were opposed to Republicanism, yet I believe, that the subtlety of a few have in many instances deceived the very elect — owing to an uncommon exertion of the federal party, the good people of Connecticut have been led to adopt sentiments contrary to every "steady habit" imbibed by themselves, and predecessors. They have been deceived by some spiritual leader, to embrace political doctrines subversive of all those legitimate practices, which have raised them to their present opulence freedom and respectability. A system of administration prosecuted on the same extravagant principles with the last, would have proved ruinous to every agricultural State in the Union. A standing army — a numerous body of Excise men — a burdensome Judiciary, with all the connections attendant on a particular profession, might be advantageous to those who live by other labors, or to those who profit by litigious law suits, but in a country, whose prosperity depends on agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures all such extraneous contingencies must prove destructive to the permanent happiness of the people.
From the first settlement of America, economy was the peculiar maxim of the Northern States. In every Legislature, we find that the purest savings were held with peculiar circumspection. In Massachusetts, the treasury department, is watched with hawk eye'd attention. Rhode-Island, Connecticut and New-Hampshire, have their "steady habits" in guarding against the inroads of extravagance. All money matters are considered with the utmost accuracy; we not only weigh the gold issuing from the treasury, but also weigh the measures which draw it from the place of deposit. An extravagant system could never become popular in either of the Northern States. If any man ever took New England ground, it is Mr. Jefferson, and it only shews the folly of the Federalists to expect to raise a formidable opposition to him from this quarter. He conforms his measures to our "habits;" he pursues such a mode of conduct as must finally be universally approved; it is impossible he should fail of success, as he takes all our rules for his guidance and direction. Would a Governor in Connecticut, Massachusetts, R. Island, or New-Hampshire become unpopular by reducing Taxes? Should we have thought, that a British Governor had imposed heavy duties before the Revolution, that an American Governor, by reducing them, was an enemy to our national happiness? If under Hutchinson we had a Stamp Act, surely under Hancock we experienced the efficacy of the repeal. These reflections are consonant to our "steady habits;" they are the test of "New-England feelings, manners and principles;" under no other regiment will "New England rule" or be ruled; they are the tenets of legitimate orthodoxy; all other doctrines are heresy, "innovation," "modern philosophy," and political "atheism;" it is the newfangled creed of Hamilton propagated by missionaries under the immediate patronage of his disciples; it is promulgated by false prophets, aided by a few ignorant, superstitious priests; commissioned by a Junto, who are planning the ruin of the country an Alliance with Britain, a War with France, and the dissolution of the Union!
Fellow Citizens! — This controversy is plain to every man's understanding, and nothing is wanting to restore universal harmony, but to read and judge for yourselves. Have your burdens increased since the inauguration of Mr. Jefferson? Is not your public credit risen to an uncommon elevation since that period? Wherein then is the difficulty? I will tell you — a few men, who have anticipated the exclusive benefits of the Federal Government, by posts of honor and profit, who, under the last administration, had a prospect of aggrandizing themselves and families, at the expence of the public; such men, and their connections, are disappointed, by the lessening of the sources of their promotion, and the principal clamor arises
from them. Common sense dictates to us, that no real opposition can, or ever will arise among the People, while their government is administered on principles of economy; they never will contend for a Land-Tax, a Stamp-Act, a Standing Army, or for a numerous corps of Excisemen; they will not quarrel for supernumerary Judges or for the encrease of the influence of the Bar. The advocates for such measures may cry aloud, but the People will turn a deaf ear to all their acclamations; their "steady habits" can never be deranged by such innovating projects. We may rest assured, that a New-Englandman never will exchange his plough for a mulet, to enforce additional Taxes; such an absurdity has never yet been practised among us, and I trust never will.
OLD-SOUTH.
Late Foreign Intelligence
By arrivals from Great-Britain and France, Dates to June 10, 1802.
LONDON, MAY 28.
WE learn by letters from Milan, that as the Roman Catholic religion is now the religion of the state, the Vice-President of the Italian Republic has issued an order, that when the Holy Sacrament shall pass a guard house or military post, the troops shall be ordered under arms, the drums beat, and the officers salute with their swords. Should the Sacrament meet a corps or detachment of troops on the march the same shall halt, and salute the Holy Sacrament with all military honours.
MAY 30.
General Murat is arrived at Paris from Naples. Accounts from that city state, that the whole of Eastern Italy is threatened with absolute dearth, which is to be ascribed to the excessive dryness of the season.
We are pleased to notice that overtures have been made during the week from Bonaparte to our Government, relative to the settling a Commercial Treaty between the two nations; and are assured that arrangements are making to carry the same into effect. By this it should appear the Grand Consul is desirous of maintaining that peace the wisdom of his Councils and that of St. James's has so happily brought about. Commercial Commissioners will soon be appointed.
The treasures of Spanish America, save a letter from Cadiz, so long locked up by the war, begin to flow rapidly in Europe. Since the arrival of the Argonaut with 7,319,259 hard dollars, eight millions more have been received, and two frigates are daily expected to arrive with sixteen millions in addition.
The Cabinet of Vienna lately received very important information respecting Pashwan Oglou, by an Austrian who served as subaltern officer in the Pasha's army, but deserted from Widdien on the 4th of April to return home. He states, in an affidavit made before the Austrian Commandant at Mehadia, that the flower of Pashwan Oglou's army consists of Christians of almost every country in Europe, and amounts to six thousand men at farthest, whom he pays and treats in the most liberal manner. Of natives and Janissaries he can always command from 10 to 12,000 men, who are better disciplined than the troops of the Grand Seignor — Many Frenchmen who escaped from Hungary, where they were retained prisoners of war, and near 1000 English Emigrants, from separate corps. The Pasha fears nothing from the Porte during this summer; and his cavalry (scours the Turkish possessions on one side as far as Nula, and on the other to the inhabitants of Nicopolis.
Neither the Paris Journals, nor our private letters, take any notice of the duel said to have been fought between Generals Berthier and Lecourbe.
The French Government, in announcing the grant of a pension to the widow of General Delfaun, who was killed in a duel with Regnier has bestowed a very warm eulogium upon the merits and courage of that General. This praise of Delfaun is a severe censure on the conduct of Regnier.
Conspiracy Against the Life of BONAPARTE.
A private letter from Paris, dated May 24, observes, "that it is quite certain that there existed a conspiracy to assassinate Bonaparte. Fournier and a grenadier of the name of Donadieu, were charged with carrying it into execution, but Bonaparte had timely information of the plan. Fournier has been examined, but has not confessed any thing. He has been promised pardon if he would develop the whole of the plan; he has refused, and demands to be brought to his trial — he has been conducted to the Temple — such is the state of this affair. Fournier passes for a most determined man and a dangerous character."
"Bonaparte is reported to have said to some one, that within these few days one hundred and fifty grenadiers of the guard had demanded their dismissal. As the situation of grenadier of the guard is very advantageous, we can only attribute this proceeding to the discontent which has been endeavoured to be spread amongst them. It appears commands have been given to almost all the Generals who are now at Paris, and they are for the most part on the point of departing. — Within these two days disturbances have taken place in certain parts of the city on account of the high price of bread. Several bakers were without a supply of that article by abundance is restored, and we know not how to account for the momentary scarcity. The most likely cause is the discontent of the bakers themselves, who are averse to the Government charging itself, as formerly, with the distribution of it in Paris; it appears that things are established upon the same footing as before the revolution. The inquietude which has prevailed, is also attributed to the secret manoeuvres to excite discontent among the people, at the moment of voting for the prolongation of the Consulate. We are assured that some of the country people have refused to vote until the bread is cheaper. It is dreadfully dear at Paris and in the environs. The number
of persons at Paris who have signed their names with the Notaries is very limited. There is not a Notary whose list exceeds 15 persons, and of those there is a greater proportion of ci-devant Nobles than of other classes. The people appear very indifferent upon the subject. In Provence the signatures have been infinitely more considerable."
One of the French Papers says, that the will of the Citizens is unanimously to elect Bonaparte Chief Consul for life. The General Councils in the neighbourhood of Strasbourg, in their address on this subject, say we not only vote you for life, but immortality. We are at no loss which to call this; whether excess of zeal or excess of flattery.
It appears by accounts from the Mediterranean, that a rebellion lately broke out in the empire of Morocco, against the Emperor. The insurgents were headed by the Emperor's nephew, who has, however, been defeated with great loss. The particulars of the battle are contained in the following extract of a private letter:
TANGIERS, MAY 19. We have this day received intelligence of an action having taken place between the Emperor of Morocco and his Nephew, in which the latter has been completely defeated with great loss; it is already known that there are 8000 killed, 4000 taken prisoners, besides an immense number wounded. The Emperor speaks in the highest terms of the very great assistance he received from an officer who arrived at the camp the night before the action, and requested the Emperor to accept his services. He had the command of a body of horse, and contributed to a great measure to the defeat of the enemy. It is expected that this week will put an end to the war, as ambassadors, are now going from the Emperor in answer to terms proposed by the Nephew. We learn that the officer who distinguished himself so much belongs to the City of London Light Horse and that he is deputed from some of the principal merchants in that city, to procure the release of two ships detained by the Emperor of Morocco. We are happy to find, that in consequence of his great services on this occasion, the Emperor has lent a favorable ear to the object of his mission. The Emperor has already conferred some distinguished honors upon him."
JUNE 5. Letters from Constantinople, of the 30th of April, state, that the Bays deposed by the Porte, who fled to Upper Egypt, are in open insurrection, against the Grand Vizier. They insist upon being reinstated in their former authority. The British Generals are said to have declared, that they will by no means interfere in this matter, nor afford any protection to the refractory Bays. The Turkish Commander, Osman Effendi was on his march against the insurgents, when these accounts came away with a considerable body of troops which the Grand Vizier had ordered to be reinforced by a detachment of fresh troops, who are to form an army of reserve. This situation of affairs causes much discontent at Constantinople.
M. Peuchet is believed to be the person chiefly consulted by Bonaparte with respect to the commercial arrangements now upon the tapis between Great-Britain and France.
The Protestant Religion is freely and openly exercised in the towns of Mentz, Coblenz, and Cologne, which was never before allowed. At Cologne, in particular, the Electoral Chapel is given up to the Protestants.
JUNE 5. The Batavian Government is preparing to send 9000 troops to the West-Indies. Twenty thousand fresh troops are in readiness at Brest to embark for St. Domingo — The armament will sail about the middle of June.
The French funds are on the decline. The Five per Cents. are at 55 or 56. As commercial enterprise promises greater returns than public paper, the monied interests will prefer merchandise to the funds; and from the want of purchasers the flocks will be low.
Mr. Pitt's Birthday was celebrated the 30th ult. at Merchant Taylor's Hall — The Earl of Spencer presided. Upwards of 900 sat down to dinner; after which, amongst other songs, were two composed for the occasion, one by Mr. George Rose; the other by the Hon. George Canning.
COW POLK. On the 3d inst. a motion was made in the House of Commons, by Admiral Berkeley, for granting his Majesty 10,000l. as remuneration to Doctor Edward Jenner, for promulgating the discovery of the Vaccine Inoculation. Several propositions were made for increasing the sum to 20,000l. but the question on 10,000l. passed in the affirmative by a majority of three.
PARIS, JUNE 10. Citizen Andreossi, is named Ambassador from the French Republic to his Britannic Majesty.
Citizen Otto has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic near the United States of America.
By an agreement entered into between Spain and France, the Hereditary Prince of Naples is to be made King, and the present King is only to retain the Sicilies. The succession is to be so arranged, that Sicily and Naples shall forever remain separate kingdoms.
The new government of the restored islands of Martinique and St. Lucia, is to be thus organized — A Captain-General, who is to command the forces by sea and land; a Prefect who is to be entrusted with the direction of the finances; and a Chief Justice who is to have the superintendence of the Courts of Justice.
Amongst the distinguished persons arrived at Paris since the permission Bonaparte granted to the emigrants may be numbered M. Neckar and M. Calonne. It is presumed that the couplers of these financiers will be solicited, in order to put upon a more solid and regular establishment the state of the public revenue.
LONDON, JUNE 4.
The British and French Governments are at this moment busily employed in arranging a system of commercial regulations between the two countries, and such is the sincerity manifested on both sides, that the most sanguine hopes are entertained of the speedy and final adjustment of this important question. The subject necessarily embraces a great variety of interesting considerations, and must call forth, particularly on the part of the French Republic, a vast fund of practical and theoretical knowledge. She has been so long destitute of trade and manufactures, that she must, in the conduct of a commercial treaty, be destined to form the basis of her permanent relations with this country, feel more embarrassments, and experience more difficulties than our negotiators.
It is confidently asserted in the best informed circles, and we have strong reasons to accredit the statement, that Parliament will be prorogued immediately after the 20th inst. The dissolution, will, in all probability, take place on or before the 25th.
When Mr. Spencer Smith was introduced to the First Consul, the latter asked him whether he was brother of Sir Sydney Smith — on his answering he was, the Consul observed, "He is a brave man, and a good officer."
It is said, that Mr. Otto has received the most positive orders from the First Consul, not to present at Court any French Ladies, except their husbands or fathers occupy a distinguished rank in the army, or in a diplomatic character.

NORFOLK, JULY 27, 1802.
CAPT. Waughop has arrived here, in 36 days from Nantes, bringing papers to the 13, and letters to the 16th June. They inform, that in all the communes (towns) which have made their returns of the votes for establishing Bonaparte Consul for life, the majority has been about 50 Ayes to one Nay: — That an additional duty of eleven francs per hundred wt. of tobacco, was to be laid on all cargoes which arrive in France, in foreign vessels, after the 19th June, 1802: — That the merchants of Havre had presented a petition to Bonaparte, praying that all foreign merchandise and vessels, be excluded the French colonies; and that the duty of 10 per cent laid by Gen. Le Clerc on goods imported into the island of St. Domingo, in French vessels, be refunded on their return to France. — In the mean time they have stopped all equipments for the West-Indies, until they have an answer from the government to their petition.
WASHINGTON JULY 26.
AUTHENTIC accounts have been received from Algiers, to the 19th May 1802: — They state that twelve Algerine corsairs had failed on cruises in March and April; that they had sent in two Neapolitans; two Spaniards for adjudication; and two French brigs, for having fired two guns at the Algerine — That an Algerine 44 had sent in a Portuguese 44 — After two hours combat the Algerine boarded — The Portuguese lost 42 killed and wounded; and there were 312 prisoners — The Algerine lost 30 killed — This is considered by the Algerines as a great affair. On the 15th May, the dey declared to the French Consul, that all christian corsairs which his corsairs should find in, that have not the Mediterranean passports, will be considered and condemned as enemies.

NEW-YORK, JULY 30.
The Essex Frigate, Capt Bainbridge, was to sail yesterday for the Potomack. A mutiny, it is said, had taken place among the crew, in consequence of what was deemed an infringement of their contract. The crew of the Essex shipped, originally, in this port to serve for the space of one year. Sixteen months, however, elapsed before the return of the Essex from the Mediterranean to New-York. Here the cruise ended, and here the crew insisted upon their right to be discharged. Orders, it seems, were intended to have met Capt. BAINBRIDGE off Sandy Hook, for proceeding to the City of Washington, without anchoring; these or-
ders were not received — the ship of course came to anchor. In consequence of fresh orders from the Navy Agent, Mr. LUDLOW, to Capt. B., to sail for the Potomack, the crew as above stated, signified their intention of not complying. The Capt. we understand, was compelled to use coercive measures, to enforce obedience.
The Sch. Determined Rover, arrived here yesterday in 11 days from Cape Francois, Capt. MATHER informs us, that the blacks, though not able to make a stand against the French, were ravaging every spot where by night they could burn and pillage without dread of opposition. Scarcely a night passed that plantations, even in the vicinity of the Cape, were not destroyed, and the wretched owners sacrificed to the resentment of the persecuted Africans. Numbers of the negroes were daily executed — the scenes of cold blooded massacres which took place were never surpassed in that ill-fated colony. The fever still raged among the troops — it was supposed that 15,000 of them had fallen victims to it and in fighting the negroes. — The Cape was fast re-building. Lumber bore a high price, provisions dull. Flour 8 dollars, Pork 21 dollars, Beef 12 dollars. Gen. Le Clerc had recovered from his illness — D. Ad.
Capt M'Laron who arrived here yesterday in a very short passage of 8 days from Cape Francois, informs, that the day before he failed, Gen. Le Clerc had ordered an additional duty of five per cent. on all goods exported from the Island of St. Domingo, making a total duty of twenty five per cent. That in future, all the French soldiery at that place, where to receive specie for their services, and to find themselves in all provisions, except the article of bread — That, reinforcements of troops were daily arriving from France in scattering transports. — That the fever still raged with great violence among the troops — that out of about 70 generals who came out with the army, not more than 25 remained, they having been chiefly cut off with the fever — That General Le Clerc was on the eve of returning to France and was to be succeeded by General M'Donald — That American produce was generally low — that even lumber was on the fall — and that flour was selling for 8 dollars a barrel.
NEW-YORK, AUGUST 2.
Capt. Rhodes, from Martinico, which he left the 6th July, informs, of the arrival, the day before, of a corvette from France, which had left the fleet, with the new Governor of Martinico, and 10,000 troops, on board, within three days sail of the island.
Capt. Rhodes also learns, that great numbers of the refractory negroes were daily executed in Guadalupe; — of whom 2000, have been taken in the mountains, and confined on board different ships to be sent to the mines.
NEW-LONDON, AUGUST 4. From GUADALUPE.
Capt. Sanger, 13 days from Basseterre, Guadalupe, informs, that previous to his sailing, the government caused it to be reported, that the English had refused to give up Tobago agreeable to the Treaty; and under the pretence of an expedition to take that Island by force, the black troops and a body of whites were embarked on board two ships of the line and two frigates. Having secured the blacks, the white troops were relaxed; and the next day more blacks male and female were sent on board, and it was said, and implicitly believed, that they were sold to the Spanish government, to be employed in working in the mines of South America; where the fleet is destined. The number of negroes shipped off amounted to 5000.
A duel was fought at Hobuck on Saturday evening between DEWIT CLINTON and JOHN SWARTWOUT, Esqrs. Five shots were exchanged two of which lodged in one of Mr. SWARTWOUT's legs a little above the ankle bone.
MISCELLANEOUS.
When Mr. Jefferson was placed by the people in the executive authority, his wishes were to act as the officer of the whole people — but his predecessors had unhappily put it out of all practicability — he has tried every course, mildness, and a spirit of conciliation; a disposition to equal profit, trust and honor among all parties, and to make no distinctions, but those of fitness and virtue — those who abused power, cannot forgive a conduct which operates as a satire on their own — they insist upon the whole authority, the whole influence, a monopoly of the whole of the offices executive and administrative, and have shown that mildness and conciliation is not to be expected from them, and that when it is shown them, they cannot conceive the reality of the virtue that can act thus towards them; they consider a conciliatory spirit as the effect of timidity — and the appointment of an opponent in politics as an evidence that there is no republican qualified to fill an office — nay, the distribution of the remittance to Holland among such men as Gurney, Crammond and Waln, the Philadelphia Gazette insinuates is done from a preference which must be either owing to want of responsibility or of honesty, for there are alone strong motives. Such insinuations may afford room for a serious comment. — The custom house and banks are implicated in these infamous insinuations. The destruction of Swanwick and Robert M'Kean as merchants, may yet be brought before the public.
The Victim of Sentiment says, all the merit of the savings of the public money within the last year belongs to Alexander Hamilton — this is in a great measure true, for Alexander wished to have a strong government, upon the military scale, and upon the excise scale. He created the offices — and surely if they had not been created they never could have been abolished.

Remarks on the proceedings of the House of Representatives in their late election of a Senator to fill the vacancy occasioned by Mr. SARGENT's resignation of his seat in the Senate of the U. States.
AS the election is made, by which Mr. PLUMER may have a legal claim to a seat in the Senate of the United States, it would be unavailing to recommend a review of their proceedings to the consideration of the Electors; It is therefore to be regretted that the spirit of party, stimulated by the private views of a few individuals, should have produced an effect that has so far outraged the general opinion in the extensive county where the Senator resides, that those who took a leading part in the election, are unwilling to claim the merit which is their due; It is, nevertheless, proper that the public should be informed to whose influence and exertions they are indebted for the honor of this appointment.
Politicians sometimes practice a sort of finesse, without doing essential injury to the public or any individual, but such extraordinary intrigues and glaring deviations from truth, as were practiced in this election, in order to prevent a fair expression of the public mind, if I am rightly informed, demands public censure.
Men may indulge themselves in a mad career for the attainment of power, and go all lengths if they please, though, by departing from the sober principles of moderation and justice, the public harmony is destroyed, and they meet their own defeat. But that vulgar and detestable practice of giving out false reports to mislead and betray the unwary, is an indelible stain to reputation, and admits of no apology.—Having been a candidate for this office without my knowledge, a report was put into circulation, denying my eligibility, on the ground of non-residence.—With whom the report originated I do not know—but, according to the report of members present at the time, it must have received all the countenance that the zeal of the Member from Exeter, in subservance to the views of the Treasurer, could give it; as he was probably the only member in the House, who was fully authorized by his own knowledge of facts, to contradict the false assertion that I "was not a Citizen of the State, and could not hold the office if elected."—The well-timed circulation of this report is given as a principal reason why some of the Representatives gave their votes, (contrary to their original intention) in favor of Mr. PLUMER; so far then as this report had effect, the votes were obtained by fraud and false-hood, and ought not to be valid.
It is well known to my friends, that I am far from being solicitous for any public employment myself, and that I had no knowledge of these transactions, until they were past, nor should I now trouble the public with animadversions upon those ungracious proceedings, were it possible to imagine that the public good has been at all consulted, or that it can be promoted by the result.
In this election, I consider the State Treasurer, by his influence with a few intriguing members of the House, to have taken a principal part, and had they, with all their arts, elected a gentleman in whose integrity and honor they themselves would declare they have confidence, then it might be believed that the spirit of party, private interest and prejudice had not betrayed them into a disregard of the honor and interest of the State and Nation—and then should I have been silent on the subject—but, if the general colouring which they have heretofore given to the character of their Man, be true, then have they abused the public trust and confidence reposed in them, by placing him in so exalted a station—if, indeed, it be untrue, this friendly exertion in favor of his election, may be considered as an expiatory sacrifice to a much injured reputation.
After the name of Mr. PARKER was withdrawn, the votes of the House were divided between two candidates, and it being known that the influence of the Treasurer was exerted against one of them, it is but fair to allow him the credit of exerting the same extensive influence in favor of the other.—Three of the Representatives, to whose exertions it is said the successful candidate is principally indebted, were from Exeter, North Hampton and Wakefield, and are, according to the general opinion, in habits of the closest political intimacy, with the Treasurer—two of them are said to be connected with him in land speculations, and one of them, since the election, has given the opinion of the Treasurer, as a reason why he acted the part he did in favor of Mr. PLUMER.
Nothing is meant to be here insinuated, which is not believed on good ground, to be strictly true; and as every man ought to be accountable for his own conduct, it cannot be im-
proper that it should be generally known, to whose intrigues it is owing, that public opinion has been insulted in this election.

Portsmouth.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1802.
SUMMARY—Foreign and Domestic.
We have received our regular London files to the 6th, and scattering papers to the 10th June. They do not record any events of magnitude.—The votes on the question respecting Bonaparte had all been returned, they were not numerous; but there were none in the negative. Bread continued very scarce and dear in Paris. M. Andreossi, who is appointed French Ambassador to Great-Britain, was Commander in chief of artillery, and celebrated Bonaparte's campaigns. Lord Hutchinson had arrived at Paris, from Egypt.
The peace establishment of France is to consist of 360,000 men, who, according to the Orator of the Government, are to constitute the "palladium of glory abroad, and of liberty at home." The troops about to be raised by conscription, amount to no less than 120,000, one half of whom are immediately to be added to the regular army, to complete the peace establishment, and the other half to form a corps of reserve, to complete the war establishment when necessary.
The Swedish colours are again flying at St. Bartholomews. The island was restored the 19th July. Surinam was to have been restored to the Dutch, the 18th inst.
Letters from Surinam mention, that the late anniversary of our independence, was celebrated by the Americans, there, in a manner worthy themselves.
One of Bowles's privateers has been captured and sent into Nassau, N. P.—She had previously taken three Spanish prizes.
We learn from Washington, that the General Greene frigate has been put in Commission, and ordered to be fitted for sea immediately. Probably destined to the Mediterranean.
BOSTON FRIGATE.
Capt May from Gibraltar, which he left about the 20th June, informs, it was reported there,—That Capt. M'Neil, in the Boston frigate, of 32 guns, cruising in the Mediterranean, observing seven Tunisian corsairs in pursuit of a Neapolitan vessel, interposed to prevent her capture. An action ensued, which terminated, in sinking two of the Tunisian vessels, dismantling three others, and causing the other two to sheer off.—The frigate afterwards put into Sicily, having a number of her crew killed and wounded. So stands the report; on which the public opinion ought to remain suspended until official particulars arrive.
The Maine Bank, at Portland, has been organized—The following are the Directors, Samuel Freeman, Esq. William Woodbury, Esq. Thacher Goddard, James Deering, Isaac Hovey, Asa Clap, Joshua Rogers, and Albert Newhall.
Herman Le Roy is elected President of the New-York Bank, vice N. Gouverneur, Esq. deceased.
The gross amount of all the taxes which ceased on the 30th of June last, for the year 1801, and in that year they were higher than in any former year, was 925,000 dollars, of which about one third was paid for collecting them—to 460 placemen.
A singular instance of suicide was discovered a few days since in Philadelphia. A seaman's wife, after having put up a bill on the house, notifying that it was to be let, shut the doors and windows, and hung herself with a handkerchief. The deed was perpetrated five days previous to the discovery; which was made by the high state of putrefaction of the body.
STATE OF HEALTH.
Philadelphia.—The Board of Health, on the 2d inst. say, that since their publication of the 1st July, (when they found eleven persons indisposed with various complaints in Vine, Callowhill and Front Streets) "five persons have been taken sick, six have died, four sent to the Hospital, and there remained in that neighbourhood eleven persons sick, four of whom were deemed dangerously ill." Every other part of the city is healthy. The Board not feeling authorized to declare the city and district exempt from all malignant disease, discontinued granting Bills of Health the 3d inst.
New-York.—The Board of Health on the 3d inst. in a notice to the citizens to pay attention to cellars, yards, &c. conclude by observing, that by attention to every circumstance of cleanliness, they think the city will still continue to enjoy the health, which, by the goodness of an overruling and protecting Providence, so universally and happily prevails.
It is laughable to notice the aristocrats how they labor to get the name "REPUBLICAN." On all occasions themselves are calling themselves republicans, and still the poor creatures find it useless to labor. As for the name of federalists they have damned, and have shown a desire to get rid of it. The people thinking it, with all the odium lately brought on it, too good for the aristocrats, have agreed to decline calling them federalists, and have substituted the name Tory. This is what confoundedly chagrines, and disappoints the aristocrats. They thought if they could once throw off the name federalist, that it would be the easiest thing in life to be called republicans. Having however got their eyes a little open, they find that Belzebub himself stands as much chance of getting the character of a saint, as they do that of republicanism.
HEALTH OFFICE.
Portsmouth, August 10. SINCE our report of Tuesday last, we have to observe, that of a Malignant Fever, Miss Eliza Adams, who sickened the 27th July, died the 4th of August.
Mrs. Muchimore, wife of Samuel Muchimore, Water-Street, sickened the 4th of August, at Nathan White's, on the road to Little-Harbour, about a mile from town, and died the 7th.
Mrs. Seawards, wife of John D. Seawards, end of Buck Street, sickened the 5th August with a Bilious Fever of a doubtful type, and is now ill.
We are happy to state that the Fever has been confined to a small space, and has shown no disposition to spread. From the uncommon favourableness of the weather, the removal of most of the inhabitants from the infected part of the town, and the unwearied exertions of the Citizens, to cleanse the fame, we are induced to believe that the pestilence is nearly at an end.

COMMUNICATION.
THE advice of Solomon, when he says "labour not to be rich," is alike useful for improvement at the present day, as in his; altho' it is true the letter and spirit is directly opposed to the maxims and manners of men—Nothing is deemed so valuable as riches, and yet on impartial enquiry, his observation will be found to be a dictate of wisdom. The attainment of riches being in the power of but very few, affords no feeble argument against labouring to be rich. By hearing now and then of an instance where a person from small beginnings hath accumulated thousands, men's imaginations are set on fire; they have equal expectation of succeeding, not reflecting that many, as sagacious as themselves have met with disappointment; to one whose hopes and endeavours have been crowned with success. Some are for attempting a bold and sudden stroke, are too impatient to wait the effect of gradual means; such enterprizes are extremely hazardous, and numbers are now lamenting the consequences of their rashness. The events of success are exceedingly precarious, and indeed the most cautious and circumpect, are liable to be deceived. In this age of show and profusion, no judgment is to be formed from appearances; we have daily proof that we cannot depend upon any external signs of opulence, as so many failures happen among us. The trequent Bankruptcies in these States are truly alarming; some wholesome severities seem necessary to check the progress of this increasing evil. It calls for the vigorous and speedy interposition of the Legislative power; a failure in business now is not disreputable, whereas formerly it was disgrace and diminution of character. Some appear as modish and live as expensive as ever. I mean not to bear hard on the unfortunate, neither would I censure indiscriminately; I wish to distinguish between those who suffer through losses and disappointments, and those who are rendered so, through wild ambition or extravagant living; the former merit compassion, the latter contempt. How unequal are the laws which inflict severe punishment on the unhappy man who, openly attacks and robs of a trifling sum, while they suffer the wretch to escape with impunity, who with pretensions of honesty, and perhaps under the semblance of friendship, robs the unguarded of their all.
No one who hath the common feelings of a man, but must be deeply afflicted for having deprived by his projects, his nearest kindred and connexions of their enjoyments and hopes, and exposed them to the machinations of those who with infernal pleasure, seek the ruin of depressed and unguarded innocence. Yes, the vengeance of Heaven will burst on their devoted heads with tenfold fury.
It is beside my intention, and out of my power to point out the several sources of ill success in the pursuit of wealth, the fact is certain that of those who strive to be rich, the majority are unsuccessful, and methinks the probability of spending much fruitless time and pains should discourage a wise man from so unpromising an attempt. Kind providence hath amply provided for the great family of mankind—In our Fathers House there is bread enough and to spare, therefore let none of us dispond for want of riches, but be content with what is needful for the body, and endeavour to enrich our souls, for they are immortal, and will outlive the Sun and the Stars.

Miscellaneous Repository. MODESTY.
THERE is, so naturalists say, A plant that cautious shrinks away, And shuns the hand's rude touch; Fearing the smallest sullying stain That from contrariation might remain— Sweet Modesty is such.
Contamination thus her dread, The blushing maiden lifts her head, And um'rous smiles to-day; Tenacious of her spotless fame, Beneath the oppressive eye of shame, She droops with sad dismay.
The di'mond, though of ample worth, When first extracted from the earth, Can scarce attract the light; But when it leaves the artist's hands, What admiration it commands, Array'd in all its light.
As to the di'mond is its glow, Does modesty in women show, And stamps alike their worth: Beauty itself must cease to be, Without the charm of modesty, 'Tis that which gives it birth.
Tho' drooping lies the fallen rose, A soft mild tint it does disclose, And delicately charms: Thus ever-blooming modesty, The lots of beauty does supply, And with attraction arms.
O cherish then with greatest care, Your greatest ornament, ye fair, And prize it whilst you've breath; By this preserv'd, thro' age's space, Shall beauty smile in ev'ry face, And yield alone to death.

Advice to a young man.
I PRESUME you desire to be happy here and hereafter; you know there are a thousand difficulties which attend this pursuit; some of them perhaps you foresee, but there are multitudes which you could never think of. Never trust therefore to your own understanding in the things of this world, where you can have the advice of a wise and faithful friend; nor dare venture the more important concerns of your soul, and your eternal interests in the world to come, upon the mere light of nature, and the dictates of your own reason; since the word of God and the advice of Heaven, lie in your hands. Vain and thoughtless indeed are those children of pride, who chose to turn heathens in America,—who live upon the mere religion of nature and their own flock, when they have been trained up among all the superior advantages of christianity, and the blessings of divine revelation and grace!
Whatever your circumstances may be in this world, still value your bible as your best treasure; and whatsoever be your employment here, look upon religion as your best business. Your bible contains eternal life in it, and all the riches of the upper world; and religion is the only way to become the possessor of them.
DOCTOR JOSHUA BRACKET, OBIIT 16th JULY, 1802.
To attempt the sketch, or delineation of a life so perfect, so amiable and praiseworthy, as our lately admired, deceased Friend and Physician Dr. JOSHUA BRACKET, is a task beyond the ability excited by the exquisite feeling and regret of most of his surviving friends, and is the certain reason that his apotheosis has not appeared from any one of them. Is it too bold or affecting now to rank him with those superior intelligences who beam with the benevolence and goodness that characterised this most excellent, this most beloved, this beyond all estimation estimable, this nearly divine, departed good Angel on earth I could we embalm his memory here more than by the flowing tears of the unprotected, the widow and fatherless?—and yet his goodness lies hidden in the earth that covers him, and will never be known.—"Till the secrets of all hearts are disclosed," when he will stand righteously exalted to receive the rich reward of the Samaritan."
Oh! could an almost broken hearted friend but perpetuate thy numerous virtues to moralise a sinful world—to teach us charity, human kindness, and good neighbourhood; thy rich possessions—thy patient seem'd to fasten on thy looks with ecstasy instead of thy drugs that thou so sparingly administered.
Thy friendship seemed riches, and consolation, and health, whatever portal thou graced with thy entry!
The poor would fly to the door, when thou approached, and find their table spread with thy bounty when thou departed, and scarcely knew the hand that afforded it!
Thy innocence and peaceful steps were such, thy enemies, (if any thou couldst have,) that would have gorged themselves upon thee, dragged their reluctant heels, as if to testify their unwilling regrets at thy departure.
But above all panegyric, all eulogy and praise, he was found in the path of honor and glory, and what he glori'd in most to be a Lover of his Country.
A REPUBLICAN.
DIED]—In England, Dr. Hoare, aged 90. This divine married the proxy of George the 3d. to his present Queen, in 1761. His death was thus occasioned. As he was sitting at tea, somebody moved the table on a car, and gave the animal great pain. She flew directly at the Doctor, and the wound occasioned by her claws produced a fatal mortification.
