LAWS OF THE UNION.
[PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY.]
AN ACT Supplementary to the act entitled "An act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the United States."
WHEREAS it is desirable to adapt the nature of the provision for the redemption of the public debt to the present circumstances of the United States, which can only be done by a voluntary subscription on the part of the creditors.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That a subscription to the full amount of the old six per cent. funded and three per cent. stocks be, and the same is hereby proposed: for which purpose books shall be opened at the treasury of the United States, and by the several commissioners of loans, on the first day of July next, to continue open until the seventeenth day of March next following, inclusively, the fourteen last days of each quarter excepted, for such parts of the above mentioned descriptions of stock, as shall, on the day of subscription, stand on the book of the treasury and of the several commissioners of loans, respectively: which subscription shall be effected by a transfer to the United States, in the manner provided by law for such transfers of the credit or credits standing on the said books, and by a surrender of the certificates of the stock subscribed.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That for the whole or any part of any sum which shall thus be subscribed, in old six per cent. or deferred stock, credits shall be entered to the respective subscribers, and the subscriber or subscribers shall be entitled to a certificate, or certificates, purporting that the United States owe to the holder or holders thereof, his, her, or their assigns, a sum to be expressed therein, equal to sixty-five per centum of the amount of principal of the stock thus subscribed, bearing an interest of six per centum, per annum payable quarterly, from the first day of the quarter, during which such subscription shall have been made, and transferable and subject to redemption in the same manner, and under the same regulations and restrictions, as the stock created by the preceding section of this act: Provided, That no part of the stock thus created shall be redeemable without the assent of the holder or holders of such stock until after the whole of the eight per cent. and four and a half per cent. stocks, as well as all the six per cent. stock which may be created by virtue of the preceding section, shall have been redeemed.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That for the whole or any part of any sum which shall thus be subscribed in three per cent. stock, credits shall likewise be entered to the respective subscribers; and the subscriber, or subscribers, shall be entitled to a certificate, purporting that the United States owe to the holder or holders thereof, his, her, or their assigns, a sum to be expressed therein, equal to sixty-five per centum of the amount of principal of the stock thus subscribed, bearing an interest of six per centum, per annum payable quarterly, from the first day of the quarter, during which such subscription shall have been made, and transferable and subject to redemption in the same manner, and under the same regulations and restrictions, as the stock created by the preceding section of this act: Provided, That no part of the stock thus created shall be redeemable without the assent of the holder or holders of such stock until after the whole of the eight per cent. and four and a half per cent. stocks, as well as all the six per cent. stock which may be created by virtue of the preceding section, shall have been redeemed.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the commissioners of the sinking fund shall be, and they are hereby authorized to appoint an agent in London, and another in Amsterdam, whose duty it shall be to receive subscriptions and transfers, and to issue new certificates in the manner, and at the times abovenominated, and as the officers of the treasury department, or the commissioners of loans might do; that is to say, the agent in London in favor of such stock holders residing in the dominions of Great Britain in Europe, and the agent in Amsterdam in favor of such stock holders residing in any other part of Europe, as may respectively become subscribers: Provided, That the certificates issued by the said agents, shall bear interest only from the first day of the quarter next succeeding that in which the subscription shall have taken place, and that in relation to subscriptions made in old six per cent. or deferred stocks, the sums expressed in such new certificates shall be equal to the amount of the principal of the old six per cent. or deferred stocks thus subscribed, which shall remain unredeemed after payment of the dividend payable on such stock, on that day from which the interest on the new certificates shall commence. The foreign stock-holders thus subscribing with either of the said agents, shall be entitled to receive the dividend in the old six per cent. deferred, or three per cent. stock subscribed by them respectively, which shall be payable on that day, from which the interest on the new certificates shall commence. And it shall be the duty of the said agents, respectively, to transmit before the end of each quarter, to the register of the treasury, and to the several commissioners of loans, respectively, triplicate abstracts of the certificates of stock subscribed, and of the new certificates issued by them, during such quarter, in order that the proper credits may be entered on the books of the treasury, and of the commissioners of loans, as the case may be, to the holders of such new certificates. And the said agents before they enter upon the execution of their several offices, shall, respectively, take an oath or affirmation for the diligent and faithful execution of their trust, and shall also become bound with one or more sureties to the satisfaction of the commissioners of the treasury, in the penal sum of twenty-thousand dollars, with condition for their good behaviour in their said offices.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That the holders of old six per cent. deferred, or three per cent. stock, who may become subscribers, as aforesaid, either in the United States, or in Europe, and who, on the first day of July next, and also on the day of the subscription, shall be resident in Europe, may, at their option, which must be made at the time of subscribing, receive the interest accruing on the stock created by virtue of the preceding sections of this act, either in the United States, as other creditors, or at London, or Amsterdam: that is to say, the stock-holders residing, at the times above mentioned, in the dominions of Great Britain in Europe, at London, and at the rate of four shillings and six pence, sterling, for each dollar; and the stock-holders residing, at the times above mentioned, in any other part of Europe, at Amsterdam, and at the rate of two guilders and a half guilder, current money of Holland, for each dollar: in which last mentioned option the condition shall be expressed in the new certificates to be issued, and the credit, or credits, to be given to the proprietors thereof, shall be entered, and shall thereafter be transferable only on the books of the treasury: Provided however, That the interest thus payable in London and Amsterdam, shall not be payable until the expiration of six calendar months from the day on which the same would be payable in the United States, and shall be subject to a deduction of one half of one per cent. on the amount payable, for commission to the bankers paying the same: And provided also, That every proprietor of such stock may, on surrendering his certificate, receive another to the same amount, the interest whereof shall be payable quarterly in the United States, in the same manner as that accruing on the stock held by persons residing in the United States.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That the same funds which heretofore have been, and now are, pledged, by law, for the payment of the interest, and for the redemption or reimbursement of the stock which may be subscribed by virtue of the provisions of this act, shall remain pledged for the payment of interest accruing on the stock created by reason of such subscription, and for the redemption or reimbursement of the principal of the same. It shall be the duty of the commissioners of the sinking fund to cause to be applied, and paid out of the said fund, yearly, and every year, such sum, and sums, as may be annually wanted to discharge the annual interest and charges accruing on the stock which may be created by virtue of this act. The said commissioners are hereby authorized to apply, from time to time, such sum and sums, out of the said fund, as they may think proper, towards redeeming, by purchase or by reimbursement, in conformity with the provisions of this act, the principal of the said stock. And the annual sum of eight millions of dollars, vested by law in the said commissioners, shall be, and continue appropriated to the payment of interest and redemption of the public debt, until the whole of the stock which may be created by the preceding sections of this act, shall have been redeemed, or reimbursed.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That there shall be allowed to each of the agents to be appointed by virtue of this act, in addition to the necessary expenses incurred by them, for printing, stationery, and postage, a sum of three thousand dollars, as a full compensation for their services. The said agents, and the commissioners of loans, shall also be allowed such additional sum as may be actually and necessarily expended for the clerk hire requisite for carrying this act into effect. And for defraying the said compensation and allowances, and such other contingent charges as may be incurred for carrying this act into effect, a sum not exceeding sixteen thousand dollars, to be paid out of any monies in the treasury, not otherwise appropriated, is hereby appropriated.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That whenever notice of reimbursement shall be given, as prescribed by the second and third sections of this act, the certificates intended to be reimbursed, shall be designated therein. In every reimbursement the preference shall be given to such holders of certificates as previously to the said notice, shall have notified in writing to the treasury department their wish to be reimbursed. If there should not be applications to the treasury sufficient to require the payment of the whole sum to be applied to that purpose, the secretary of the treasury, after paying off all sums for the payment of which application shall have been made, shall determine by lot what other certificates shall be reimbursed so as to make up the whole amount to be discharged—and in case the applications shall exceed the amount to be discharged the secretary of the treasury shall proceed to determine by lot what applications shall be entitled to priority of payment.
Sec. 9. And be it further enacted, That the agents appointed by virtue of this act, and the several commissioners of loans, shall observe and perform such directions and regulations, as shall be prescribed to them by the secretary of the treasury, touching the execution of this act.
Sec. 10. And be it further enacted, That nothing in this act, contained, shall be construed, in anywise, to alter, abridge, or impair, the rights of those creditors of the United States who shall not subscribe to the loan created by virtue of this act.
FROM THE AURORA.
Politics for Farmers.—No. 17.
We stated in our last that, over the lowest grade of excisemen, there was another and superior grade, these are called supervisors.—The exciseman may be a thief, and they set another to watch him. He may indeed have pestered the tavern keeper or the store keeper, with daily weighings and guagings; but the supervisor knows his craft, and must do something for the honor of his sacred majesty's protecting government; he therefore orders all to be weighed and guaged again. As dignity is said to descend—so we sometimes see even in our republic a constable or a court runner, assume more airs in the exercise of his functions, than the president of the United States, who appoints him; so the distance is great between the excisemen and the supervisor's dignity in a monarchy.
Perhaps when the gentlemen superior (for they are gentlemen! also) comes, he recollects that you did not make your bow sufficiently low to his majesty's ink horn at the preceding visit; and that you may not forget what you owe to so beneficent and all protecting a government, he may insist on measuring and weighing and guaging your flock once more; and if there are any indignant feelings left in the bosom of poor John Bull; if the "memory of departed joys" as Dr. Leib said, talking of the liberty of the press, remain with him, and he utters a sulky symptom of discontent—the superior (who is a gentleman always!) having charge of the scales and the guaging rod, may punish the contumacy by either a threat or an actual prosecution for defrauding the revenue. Poor John Bull may be as innocent in the affair—and as patient as a bear with a sore head, though he growls:—it is no matter, the exciseman and the supervisor, are his majesty's representatives—and as every part or parcel of majesty partakes of its essence, and the king being incapable of doing wrong, as is agreed by the very bench of bishops and all the lords of his creation, so neither can the exciseman nor the supervisor do wrong—he can neither blunder, nor mistake, nor even falsify—his fiat is like the law of the Medes and the Persians. Indeed it saves ages of trouble—a poor devil of a tavern keeper or shop keeper is not obliged to hang about the courts for seven years to bring a villain to justice—the villain is himself the culprit, the prosecutor and the executioner—the fellow who dares to turn up his nose at majesty is despatched at once by a dash from his majesty's ink horn.
But we have not enumerated all the operations of excise.
No store keeper or other person can sell a hat without an excise license.
No callico printer can print a yard of cotton or linen cloth—without an exciseman.
No silversmith can finish a tea-spoon or any piece of plate—without an exciseman.
An exciseman is requisite to put the finishing hand to every sheet of parchment.
The exciseman exacts a dollar a bushel for every bushel of barley which a farmer makes or has made into malt.
Glass cannot be removed from the glass house without the permission of the exciseman.
There is another view in which the energetic beauty of the excise system is to be seen. The exciseman charges John Bull with an intended fraud; the exciseman may in the first instance mistake and really believe the charge founded; he makes his entry;—but the law expressly forbids, the erasure or obliteration of a single letter in his book; he dares not blot out or erase—the mistake must stand—and the place of the exciseman is now at stake—we say nothing of the reputed morals of English excisemen—he is afraid or ashamed of his error—and being detected by the supervisor, is passed off to the charge of poor John Bull.
Every store keeper, and tavern keeper, is obliged to keep a book in which he is compelled to enter, every pound or ounce of tea, tobacco or snuff, &c. sold.—This book he is obliged to swear to, every four months.—Should there happen to be any mistake, either of a wife, or shopman, or boy, or by any hurry of business—then there is a prosecution for perjury and the whole flock is liable to seizure—for the benefit of his sacred majesty's faithful and vigilant officers, the exciseman and supervisor.
NATHL. MACON, Speaker of the House of Representatives.
GEO: CLINTON, Vice-President of the United States and President of the Senate.
February 11, 1807. APPROVED, TH: JEFFERSON.

This is what we hear of in certain mouths very often—supporting the dignity of the government—this is what we hear often under the name of energy; it is sometimes called character—too; and who can dispute as to its character.
However there are some things that may be urged as palliatives—store keepers should be more careful—and as it was under Lewis XIV. the French acquired all their politeness, John Bull may learn to boe ! and he is bound to learn arithmetic; and to swear; which implies that he should also learn to dance and to be religious and to read; and then his wife may be kept out of the shop, and his children may go to school (or the work house) or into the army, and while he is minding his business himself he escapes all the danger of being infected by jacobinism, or thirsting after the delusion of a parliamentary reform.
But all the good which the government in its wisdom and mercy, derives from the great body of excisemen and supervisors, requires still to be explained. In conjunction with the clergy of the established church, it is their duty to be supervisors of the public morals and politics also; the churchmen look to their spiritual, and the excisemen, to their earthly concerns. When these fellows, (or gentlemen!) are exciting and guaging the wine or snuff—the coffee or whiskey; they are also taking the length and breadth of John Bull's religious and political opinions—for so they are instructed. If there is any little flaw in his religious or political opinions, it is soon excised—if he is the least out of unison with the ideas of the powers that be—his heresy is entered in a book along with his excise account, and regularly transmitted to the office which has cognizance of such concerns!
Extend your consideration, AMERICAN FARMERS, to the operation of this stupendous contrivance of human wisdom, which leaves the mariner's compass and the art of navigation and all other wisdom in eclipse—look at the operation.
In every city, nay in every street, of every town, and village and hamlet—in every family in England, there is an agent of the government—in some countries they would be called spies; but in a country where there are only a million and a half of paupers and so forth, they may be called by any other name.
A rose by any other name will smell as sweet.
The governing power, by this means becomes acquainted with every man's character, religion and politics—perfectly social—perhaps it may be considered as preserving the harmony of social intercourse: but certainly it produces certain effects which many men in this country will admire—no man dares to offend the parson, the lawyer or the exciseman, woe be to him that does, he is excised—and if he is not exercised as grievously as the witches formerly were in Connecticut, it must be his own fault in not making a timely escape.
American farmers, are you not charmed with the wonderful system of excise?
But we shall leave you to ruminate for yourselves on the subject—till another day.
No. 18.
They had formerly a remarkable custom in Sweden—when a criminal was to suffer death, they carefully concealed from him the period or manner of execution; sometimes they cherished a hope even to the moment of death, and at others taught him to believe that if it ever took place it must be at some very remote day.—Meanwhile they treated him as the Jews of old treated the lamb or the ram for the holocaust; or as their cotemporaries the Heathen Greeks fatted their finest heifer as an offering to the ravenous and rapacious gods of Olympus—or as the Hindoos do at this day, pamper their victims; and as the Scandinavian ancestors of the modern Swedes, feasted those prisoners of war who were devoted to appease the manes of the followers of Odin who had fallen in the mighty war—they fatted them with food and flattered them with future felicity; a boon held forth as the certain solace even of the most abandoned of criminals; and their charity was completed by repeated intoxication, and occasional respite, and when the victim least expected it, without consciousness of life, in the death of drunkenness, the hand of the executioner inflicted a real death.
Those customs of ancient and modern nations, are very shocking to the man of real sensibility. They excite gloomy apprehensions, lest men should ever be the slaves and the dupes of similar barbarity. Men shudder at the perversion of the human judgment when it is rendered imbecile by absolute ignorance or brutal by that other kind of ignorance which is still worse than mere nescience , that knowledge of error, that a opion of mis intelligence which is best described by the word superstition , which deprives ignorance of its innocence, and by substituting error for truth makes the very acquisition of reputed knowledge, the created store house for barbarism.
We are shocked at these things—yet millions and millions of millions of circumstances pass before our eyes, more barbarous, without exciting an emotion or a sigh. "Experience is a dear school," said poor Richard, "but none but fools will study there, and scarcely in that."
What does experience say with poor Richard?—are all studies in her school fruitless? Have we not paid dear enough for our whistle in the Revolution? See what use Europe has made of her education!
We shall be told of the jacobinism of the French revolution. But we seldom hear of the jacobinism of Piltz! We are told of the jacobinism of the guillotine—but what is the guillotine to the massacre at Prague? What are the fustilades and the gullotinaes at Paris and Lyons—to the fustilades at Warsaw! Look at the lesson—see the anniversary of Jamaappe celebrated at Fleurus—of Fleurus at Marengo—of Marengo at Austerlitz—and of Austerlitz, where? why at Prague. On the theatre of Suwaroff's butcheries; the prologue of Polish dismemberment we saw in 1791, the second and third acts in 1793 and 1795; but in 1805 and 1806, we saw real denouement of Prussia, and Russian, and Austrian humiliation!
"Experience is a dear school," says poor Richard.
But it is a dear school only to those who do not profit by it. We are, thank providence, the only nation that has yet profited by our education—kings are educated in luxury and selfishness. Republicans are born in adversity, and so long as they keep in mind the lessons of experience they are happy, the moment they forget or disregard them, then their education and the fruits of experience are thrown away.
It has been a kind of fashion to introduce English lessons in our education—but study under experience, and what does the venerable and sedate old dame, what does she say—she gives you lessons unnumbered.
She gives you the whole history of the earth—the book is cheap as water—it is not dear if you only read it—and make a proper use of it—let it not be said with poor Richard that you study scarce in that—the lessons are abundant, and they are not like the fables of Philpapi, or Esop, or Gay, mere fictions of a moral construction; which genius contrives to sooth the innocence into the unerring paths of virtue:—your lessons are not fables—they are stories written in the blood and the miseries of millions—the drunken ingenuity of the Swedes, to palliate and sooth, to conceal as it were the avenues to death from the unfortunate victim of the laws—is an awful lesson if we apply the moral—if we test it by the lessons of experience.
Our own history, as we once before observed, is only a chapter of a volume begun at a certain page in the British history—and let us see what are the lessons which experience points out to us—let us see—aye—the white and the red roses —whence did those execrable wars arise? Not about a people's rights—not to establish virtue and happiness in a nation—in these wars of those who are called our progenitors—what had happened?—The wars of the Goths and Vandals—the inroad of the Saracens—the extirpations of the Moors and Arabs, are comparatively mild, when we look at 300 years of remorse, less massacre and assassination—for what? To put a scoundrel on a throne, who was after all to become the tyrant and the destroyer of the whole of those who survived and fought his battles.
Experience is indeed a dear school—for what is called the nobility —that is, Mr. Burr's " best blood of the nation " which was nearly extirpated in the contest—what contest—who shall rule and plunder ? men above the dull pursuits of civil life.
Farmers of America—voluminous as the common law is—and the oracles say that "20,000 volumes would not contain it"—experience says that to be happy yourselves, and to secure happiness to your posterity; you must pursue a course different from that which has been productive only of affliction and misery to mankind, and in every nation. You must consider a system which experience shows to have been productive only of miseries, ruin, desolation, disaster , and under its very best form, of oppression and a deceptions or qualified tyranny—cannot be an object fit for your approbation, much less your applause—or for imitation—it is only such an example as the attempt to extinguish a fire with sulphur or with oil—greater destruction only can be the consequence of its adoption, for human cunning to conceal its hideous arts, and to render its destruction more certain—the sulphur will be compounded with other ingredients, and it will blow you up—the oil simply used may be innocent, but add it to combustion, and the greater will be the destruction.
Look at the royalists , the nobilities the bizarries , the taxes , the tythes , the poor rates , the excise , of England—and say is this the stupendous fabric of human wisdom you wish to imitate?—we leave you for the present to reflect. It knows and fools deceive you—you cannot say you wanted counsel—and you will then have to deplore for yourselves and incur the just resentment of posterity—the light is before you; open your eyes.
New Hampshire Legislature.
ANSWER OF THE HON. SENATE to the SPEECH of the GOVERNOR.
The committee (consisting of Messrs. Payson, Alcock and Willard,) appointed to prepare an answer to His Excellency's address, reported the following, which was accepted. May it please Your Excellency
The Senate of New Hampshire received with much satisfaction, your address to both branches of the Legislature, at the commencement of the present session; and congratulate your Excellency that our Fellow-Citizens have, by so large a majority of their suffrages, again conferred on you the first office in their gift.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Constitution and the voice of our Constituents, we have assembled, to unite with the other branch of the Legislature and your Excellency, in transacting the Legislative concerns of this State the present year; in doing which, from the unanimity which has been hitherto manifested, we can assure your Excellency that our undivided attention will be directed to complete the same, with as much dispatch as the circumstances will admit of.
Relying on our Milia for the defence of our liberty, the protection of our rights, and the security of our inheritance from foreign invasion and domestic usurpation, we shall be compelled by duty and inclination, to co-operate in every measure which may be considered calculated to encourage that establishment; and feel particularly desirous, that the officers may be relieved from the expenses which they are now subjected to on muster days.
Acknowledging our obligations to our Sovereign Benefactor, and as knowledge and virtue are the only support of republican governments, we realize it a duty to cherish institutions of literature and useful instruction; and to pass such acts and resolves as may be the best calculated to reform the habits, and correct the morals of the vicious, the intemperate and the profane.
The frauds practised to impose on this State the maintenance of paupers, ought to be prevented, and a check put to "the great increase of counterfeited bank bills."
Considering war in its most favorable view, among the greatest calamities of a nation, and viewing the convulsed state of a large portion of the eastern Continent, with which our commercial intercourse renders us in some measure connected, we feel constrained to express our gratitude to those at the helm of our National Government, for so far guarding the peace and preserving the happiness of our "beloved country."
All the other important considerations, which have been, or may be during the session communicated by your Excellency, shall receive our particular attention.
Hopkinton, June 3d, 1807.
The committee from the honorable House of Representatives, (consisting of Messrs. Evans, J. Wilson and Green,) to draft an answer to His Excellency's address, reported the following, which was accepted:
May it please Your Excellency , Your address is before us, and we receive the communications it contains; and in the name of our constituents accept the acknowledgment which you have been pleased to make.
A free people, if enlightened, will not be ungrateful. Patriotism, when it combines wise exertions with virtuous intentions, must ever command the esteem, and the confidence, of enlightened freemen.
The people of this State again recognize in You, their Chief Magistrate; and we their Representatives, will unite with you in such measures as may promote their welfare.
Whether we consider New Hampshire in the character of an independent State; or in that, of a member of the union; we must acknowledge that her situation is favorable, and her privileges manifold.—To the great God let us ascribe the glory and the praise.
Very different from the situation of this country, is the state of other countries; are in the enjoyment of all the blessings of peace;—War! with famine and pestilence in her train, is depopulating Europe, and extending her ravages to Asia and to Africa. Oppressed humanity weeps for her children!
The crimes of Europe; the ignorance of the mass of her inhabitants; and the ambition of her princes; united to create those systems which have deluged the earth in blood!—Yet, blessed be God! an era arrived, when a new order of things appeared; when, in a remote quarter of the world a form of government was established upon the basis of civil and religious liberty. The Constitution of the United States, declares an epoch. in the history of man.
That the peculiar privileges which were expected to arise out of this constitution, remain with us to the present time, is owing, we believe, to the dissemination of republican principles; and to the exertions of a republican administration.—The PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES merits the approbation of his country.
A duty remains for us, the Representatives of New Hampshire, of inculcating upon the minds of our constituents the importance of social order, and correct manners; of providing the means of education; and of advancing the cause of religion and morality.—Prompt attention will be paid to that part of your Excellency's address which relates to those subjects:—We are aware that vice and ignorance lead to oppression and slavery.
The arts of peace are honorable to man, and productive of human happiness; therefore it is incumbent on Legislatures to countenance and support them.
Every subject to which you have called our attention will be considered. The military establishment: The state of the treasury: The maintenance of paupers: The evils of the banking system,—with all other matters of legislative concern, are to us, subjects of importance.
Your Excellency will be pleased to accept from the House of Representatives, the wish, that you may long live to enjoy the prosperity of your Country.

BY THE MAILS.
NEW YORK, JUNE 4. BURR, &c.
Extract of a letter from Richmond, May 27.
"The taverns and houses in this place are occupied by so many people, that new comers can with difficulty procure accommodations. The concourse is really great.
"Gen. Wilkinson has not yet arrived, but is hourly expected. I learn that he was to have come by water from New-Orleans in one of the public vessels. Messrs. Swartwout, Bollman, and Ogden are here; as are Gen. Eaton, Com. Truxton, and perhaps not less than 100 other witnesses.
"I can form no opinion of the result, but it is asserted that the main plea of Col. Burr will be, that his plan was the settlement of the Wahiba, in principal; but that in the event of a war against Spain, then he was to lead his choice spirits to Mexico, by way of diversion, in favour of the United States—and not otherwise!"
Another letter says, that 40 witnesses on behalf of Burr, attend Court from day to day.
June 6.—The Richmond Enquirer, of May 30 contains 13 columns of the Proceedings of the District Court in the case of AARON BURR, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. On Thursday there was a good deal of interesting conversation about the propriety of Col. Burr's giving further bail to appear to answer to the charge of High-Treason—when it was determined as follows:
Chief Justice, after consulting with Mr. Griffin, gave it as the decision of the court, that Col. Burr should be bailed for 20,000 dollars more; himself in the sum of 10,000, and his securities in the same sum. So that the whole amount of bail, should be, 40,000 dollars.
Messrs. Martin, Langborne, Taylor and Gamble, were the securities to this new recognizance; and were of course bound respectively in the sum of 2500 dollars each. It is understood, that the Attorney for the U. S. will not lay his indictments before the present Grand Jury, before the arrival of Gen. Wilkinson.
The Secretary of war informed the Court, that Gen. Wilkinson was expected at Richmond the 28th or 29th ult.
It is reported that Gen. Wilkinson has arrived at Norfolk from New-Orleans.
BOSTON, JUNE 11.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
Yesterday by the arrival of the Sarah and Eliza, Capt. Holland we received the Liverpool Chronicle of April 29th, from which the subsequent articles are extracted; and we believe contain the substance of the News received by her.
Political Retrospect. —No intelligence of any importance has been received from the Continent.—Paris papers to the 17th, and Dutch to the 23d inst. have come to hand—they contain the 69th Bulletin of the French army, dated at Finckenstein on the 4th. It states that not a shot had been fired at the advanced posts during the fifteen preceding days.—It is supposed that this suspension of active hostilities is connected in some degree with the Negotiations for Peace which are said to be carrying on at Memel, as it were in the presence of the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Russia, who have been for some time at that place. Both armies have received considerable reinforcements. The French are making the most active preparations. They continue to drain the country behind them of every disposable man in order to strengthen themselves for a conflict which, should it take place, will be decisive of the fate of Europe. In the event of the result of this conflict being against them, they are putting the fortresses they possess on the Vistula, in the most effectual state of defence, while they continue to push the sieges of Dantzic and Colberg with increased activity. The contending powers must now be able to estimate their ability to do each other all the mischief originally intended, and by this time must be heartily tired of a contest, calculated to produce ruin and destruction to all the parties engaged in it.
The real state of affairs at Constantinople is involved in the thickset veil of mystery; no official accounts have been received from Admiral Duckworth, and the whole must be mere rumor and conjecture. We confess we are anxious for the arrival of dispatches from that quarter, and until their arrival no opinion can be given on the subject.
Diffolution of Parliament. —The public after all have been taken by surprise with regard to a dissolution of Parliament. It was yesterday announced by letters from General Gaseyne that this event would certainly take place last night, and the intelligence excited no inconsiderable degree of bustle among the heads of the different political parties in this town.
LONDON, APRIL 25.
That part of the dissipated subsidy (amounting to about half a million) which remained due to the Emperor of Austria, has been lately sent off.
They write from Vienna, the 4th instant, that the Emperor had set off from Buda on the preceding day, at eight in the morning. After opening the Hungarian Diet, the Emperor will proceed to Semlin and to Gallia, to survey the Austrian cordon on the frontiers. The Archduke Charles will proceed on the same journey on the 6th or 7th of April.
A letter from Dantzic, of the 4th days; twenty thousand men mostly Poles, are lying round the place. General Kalk-cuth has arrived with a reinforcement of 2000 Cossacks, and has taken the command of the place. We are taking the most efficient means of defence.—The suburbs are already destroyed, so that 8000 people are without house or home. A very strict military police is established in the interior. No assemblies are permitted in the streets or any of the public places.
The French armies are in motion in every quarter. The Italian army has commenced its march for Turkey, through Bosnia. It is stated to be 100,000 strong. It was formerly under the command of Massena, but since he has been called into Poland, it is supposed that Augereau will be appointed in his place.

Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 1807.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
Since our last, Paris papers to the 18th, and London to the 28th April, 1807, have been received.
One additional Bulletin, (the 69th) has come to hand. It is dated at a place about 50 American miles from Osterode, where the 68th was dated. We have not ascertained the cause or motive in this retrograde movement. It has been assigned by some to the scarcity of provender, &c. around Osterode. By others, it is thought to have been made in consequence of an agreement between the hostile Chiefs to recede 20 German miles (about 100 American miles) from each other; the intermediate country to be considered neutral. The Russian H. Q. were at Bartenstein, which is about 100 American miles from Bartenstein, where the last Bulletin was dated. No war events had occurred. Both Grand Armies, however, continued to be daily reinforced; the French in an extraordinary manner. It had also undergone a new organization. It was to form three distinct armies. The first to be commanded by Marshal Massena, and to operate on the right: The second under the Grand Duke of Berg, (Murat) in the centre; and the third, to form the left, under the Prince of Ponte-Corvo (Bernadotte). The sieges of Danzig, Colberg, &c. were continued with vigor; but that of Stralsund, in Swedish Pomerania, had been abandoned; and the Swedes had pursued their retreating late invaders, with great vigor, and some success.
It was apparent that some great military plans were in secret operation; and which must speedily be developed.
Affairs in Turkey appeared to be puzzled in mazes; and presented a medley of pacific negotiation and destructive war. It is certain, that an English fleet had been before Constantinople, and almost certain that it had returned into the Archipelago through the ancient Hellespont, without having battered down the walls of the Seraglio, or taken the castles of the Dardanelles. It is true the British had destroyed five Turkish frigates, and a ship of the line; but had suffered some loss themselves.
In Great-Britain, the often-repeated threat of the new Ministry—a dissolution of the Parliament—had been put in execution. New writs were issued; and all the battle, abuse and newspaper war of election had commenced. [Essex Centinel.]
FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN.
We have accounts from Malaga, to the 17th April, which state, on the authority of Mr. Kirkpatrick, the American Consul there, that official accounts had been received there, that after the English fleet had left the sea of Marmora, as stated in the last French accounts, an engagement had taken place between the English fleet under Admiral Duckworth, and the Turkish fleet of ten sail of the line, which had been sent in quest of the English; that the battle was severe and destructive; that the English were victorious; and that the consequence was, the Peace which had been broken off, had been renewed; and tranquillity restored between the Ottoman Porte, Russia and England. It is added, that in the battle the English had a great number killed and wounded; and that one of the largest ships of war blew up. [Ibid.]
By an arrival from the Plaza at Charleston, it appeared that the Spaniards were much discontented with their new masters. That the first families had been in arms for the defence of Montevideo, and many persons belonging to these families had died in its defence. The survivors charge the English with murder, and entertain the most determined purposes of revenge at the first opportunity. It was uncertain whether Buenos Ayres would follow the example of Montevideo, and defend it to the last extremity, or whether the inhabitants would be overawed by the fate of Montevideo, and the fear of the increasing power of the English. But should the English not discover strong reinforcements, it was believed that the Spaniards would resolve on a brave resistance. [Salem Register.]
BATTLE OF EYLAU.
The dreadful accounts we have had of the battle of Eylau appear to have been no fictions: the destruction of human life in that awful scene has hardly been equalled in modern warfare. Bennigsen's statement of the French loss in this affair seems not to have been far from the truth: for French officers who were in the battle acknowledged that they had between 30 and 40,000 killed and wounded: the Russian loss they state to be equally great, and it was confidently said that there were not less than 30,000 wounded Russians in Konigsberg: the conclusion was, that neither side could boast of having gained any distinguished advantage over the other in the action, though it was acknowledged that the Russians saved Konigsberg by it. The account we have had of the destruction of Bonaparte's guards was true: Angereau being wounded, and his men discouraged by repeated repulses, Bonaparte ordered his guards to the charge; they obeyed, and were all cut to pieces, leaving about sixteen men, the Russians giving no quarter. After the battle no less than 15,000 dead horses were counted upon the field.
The greatest exertions were making on both sides to repair their losses by recruits. Vast numbers were pouring into the French grand army, from all parts of Germany; as well as from France, thousands of wretched creatures being obliged to enlist, to get bread; and even many of the Prussian prisoners had entered among the recruits. The shock from the next meeting of the two armies, was expected to be even more terrible than that of the former.
It seems the good generalship of Bennigsen had not preferred him from the jealousy of the other officers of the Russian army, who think themselves dishonored by having a foreigner placed over them. The emperor Alexander had arrived at Revel, on his way to the army, with a view probably of composing the difficulties.
There are now no French troops in Hamburg: the place is garrisoned by the Dutch, the river is blockaded by the British, and its trade has ceased. [Salem paper.]
THE MURDERER OF PIERCE.
The silence of death has prevailed among federal editors on the acquittal of Capt. Whitty. At length it is broken—not by the voice of indignation or reproach—not by a clamor for justice, but by an indirect justification of the outrage. In the "Baltimore Federal Gazette," we notice the following passage:—"Capt. Whitty has been acquitted, and every day's gazette presents us with some pretended outrage of the British commanders." The writer of this article signs himself a NATIVE AMERICAN; he the writer who he may, he is a slave in heart and soul; he is one of those worthless beings who, upon all occasions, would submissively bow the neck to Cæsar.
Our ships are plundered on the high way of nations, and if captured they are condemned on the arbitrary orders of the British king in council, in violation of solemn treaties and the law of nations. Are these the "pretended outrages of the British commanders: Passengers and seamen—native citizens—naturalized citizens and foreigners—are impressed on board our ships, dragged thence on board British ships of war, and compelled to fight for the monarch and the country, fighting against which their fathers established the independence of America. They must fight, bleed, and be murdered in the service of him, whose myriads had slaughtered their fires, and would have enslaved their country. Are these "pretended outrages?" Sages and warriors of the Revolution answer the question. Tell, while round your sons indignant burn—tell of all your sufferings and sorrows—tell of your toils and labours—of your "hair-breath 'scapes by flood and field"—"then strip your sleeves and show your scars" and ask are they "PRETENDED OUTRAGES?"
The federal editors are constantly in the habit of insinuating that republican presses are devoted to the service of Bonaparte, and are teeming with his praises. The affection is scandalously false, and "recorded facts" only could suggest it. REPUBLICANS feel no preference for Bonaparte and will not for his success any farther than that success would contribute to the general prosperity. REPUBLICANS feel no affection for any monarch; nor is there any monarch whom we would not gladly see hurled from his throne to make way for the prevalence of Democracy. Many federalists suppose that because they basely idolize the corrupt government of Great Britain, we must feel the same attachments to France, but they grossly deceive themselves. Democrats love their own country, and detest foreign influence. Federalists love England, love monarchy, love war; but hate America, hate republicanism, and hate peace. [Nat. Regis.]
TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
JUST GOING! GOING! GOING! "The subscriber, having determined to withdraw himself from the Editing of the "PEOPLE'S FRIEND and DAILY ADVERTISER," gives this public notice that that establishment is now offered for sale. Any person disposed to purchase, will find it an object worthy of attention. The terms will be made convenient, in point of time, to the purchaser. "S. C. CARPENTER."
The aim of the Editor of the print now offered for sale, since it fell into his hands, must, long e'er this, have been apparent to our citizens. Altho' it has been conducted with a degree of cunning equalled only by the perfidy of his prototype, Cobbet, yet the evident hostility of his pernicious doctrines, have effectually precluded all subsequent attempts to diffuse the spirit of discontent and dissatisfaction. Perhaps, like Cobbet, the period of his editorship depended upon the result of an election. That result is now known, and like him he is about to desert his employers. It is obvious, however, that Cobbet has lost the confidence and support of the "warm Federalists." They have discovered, in his late abuse and denunciation of the new cabinet of England, infinite, attendant and consequent mischief to their cause here. Let it be also remembered, that Windham is the friend of Cobbet—and that he is no longer one of the British ministry, consequently his power to diffuse embers has ceased. [N. Y. Pub. Advertiser.]
COTTON. —The cultivation of cotton, by white persons in the U. States, already exceeds our home consumption. Several of the European states were in the habit of preventing the shipment of cotton to this country.—We have now an independent resource for that raw material from our own lands and industry: abundant and overflowing.
A man by the name of Samuel Fairlamb, of Marietta, has been detected, and is advertised in a Richmond, (Virg.) paper, in an attempt to incite the blacks to rise in rebellion.
Gen. Wilkinson, in a letter of 4th of March, addressed to a Printer in Baltimore, says, "My conduct has always defied enquiry. When the documents and facts I possess, are exposed to the public, the Citizens will be taught to estimate my honour, my fidelity, and my services to the State."
Supreme Court—May term, 1807.
At this term came on the trial of Joseph Donnough, for breaking, entering and stealing from the Maine Bank, in January last, a quantity of Gold and Silver, amounting to between twenty-six and seven hundred dollars; he was found guilty, and sentenced to one month's solitary imprisonment in the gaol in this town—after which to be removed to the State-Prison, and be confined to hard labor for five years, and pay costs of prosecution. From the behaviour and conduct of this man it appeared, that tho' young in years, he is old in iniquity. [Portland paper.]
If federal priests could wait on Governor Sullivan within six or eight hours after he was declared elected Governor, to pay their congratulatory addresses to him as such, who, as many hours before, would have preached and prayed him into purgatory, rather than into the chair of state—what may we not expect from them in the course of his one year's administration? It is not hard to penetrate causes, when we see the effects. It is true, it may not be criminal for one to make a fawning compliance with principles to-day, of a man about to be clothed with the first authority; which, yesterday, he would have spurned at, coming from the same man, in the capacity only of Attorney General!—O, Sincerity! how amiable is thy tabernacle!
Public Notice.
We are happy in having it in our power to inform our patrons, and the public generally, that Mr. SELLECK OSBORN, is about to associate himself with this Establishment; and that the Editorial department will be exclusively under his direction. The Democrat, and Courier, will appear enlarged, and improved, on or about the first day of July. In the mean time we confidently indulge the hope that an increase of patronage will be offered, which shall place pecuniary embarrassments out of the question. [Boston Courier.]
COMMUNICATION.
American Independence. "The Anniversary of the Independence of the United States will be celebrated in this town by the Republican Citizens, on the fourth day of July next, at Davenport's-Hall, where an elegant entertainment will be prepared by Mr. Davenport. This will be the first anniversary in commemoration of this glorious event, ever celebrated at this House—we expect from Mr. D's attention, and exertions ever to please, that this Festival will be served up in a very superb style. June 15."
GAZETTE MARINE LIST.
Friday arrived, ship Liverpool Packet, Capt. Kennard, 43 days from Liverpool. Ship Henry, Russell, of Salem, passed a wreck, June 10th, bottom up, apparently a new vessel about 120 or 130 tons, not any stuff on her bottom, her seams appeared to have been lately payed with pitch; about 10 feet from her stern-post there was a round hole through her keel about 4 inches, probably made by the carpenters before she was off the stocks.
The sch. Nancy of Portsmouth, full of water, and both masts gone, was fell in with 12th May, in lat. 41, long. 58. A ships rudder, quarter rails, masts, a trunk, and a dead dog, were fell in with, lat. 43, long. 38.

NOTICE is hereby given, That in conformity with the provisions of the act supplementary to the act, intitled "An act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the United States," books will be opened at the office of the commissioner of loans for New-Hampshire, on the first day of July next, to continue open until the seventeenth day of March, 1808, inclusively, the fourteen last days of each quarter excepted, for the purpose of receiving subscriptions for such parts of the old six per cent. deferred six per cent. and three per cent. stocks, as may, on the day of subscription, stand on the books of the said commissioner of loans.

EVENING.—A SONNET. The pensive shades of night steal o'er the scene; Hush'd is the busy hum of daily care, And close'd the bellow eye of black despair, Which oft in silence weeps unheard, unseen. By darkness veil'd, each distant prospect dies, The village, which at noon attracts the light, Now wears the semblance of an airy sprite, Deludes the view, and clouded meets the sight. Hail! Solar Eve, by magic tints inspire The softest, sweetest pleasures in my mind; No objects seen, disturl, save those confin'd To fancy's power, as real forms retire. Blest contemplation now usurps the throne, Where pale face'd care the sceptre once did own.
Hoarding. —A miserable old man died lately in an obscure lane in the Liberties, Dublin, who for a great number of years, had been the victim of disease, and the most deplorable poverty. On taking off an old wig, which he constantly wore under his night-cap during his illness, some papers were found sewed up in the caul, which on inspection, proved to be bank notes to the amount of 975£; and in various parts of his tattered apparel, 71 half guineas were found sewed up. It was a fortunate circumstance that his only son, a private in the marines, arrived from Plymouth but four hours before his death, to visit him, and into whose hands the property fell.

OTEZ! OTEZ! OTEZ!
WHEN the attention of the public is solicited by the author of a recent discovery, and in declaiming on its virtues he becomes the panegyrist of his own merits, he will naturally incur the imputation of vanity; but it is not impossible that with such a defect, more noble qualities may be united. Instead, therefore, of judging liberally respecting the motives of those who make themselves the heroes of their own tale, ought we not rather to encourage individuals of active and cultivated minds, to present us with the details of their professional progress, with the fruits of their experience, and with the results of their matured reflections?
DENNISON'S Improved Jaundice Bitters;
OR THE GRAND ANTIBILOUS CORRECTIVE. The Jaundice is discovered by want of appetite, costiveness, dullness and oppression, at times an incredible propensity for sleep, and at others, too great watchfulness, a yellowness is by degrees diffused over the complexion, tinges the urine, and the whole mass of the fluids are infected with bilious secretions, and in process of time the blood acquires a tendency to dissolution and putrefaction; in these cases it either degenerates into a dropsy or ends in an apoplexy. They are particularly serviceable in habitual costiveness, and in an oppressed and weak stomach. They are gratefully warm and pungently aromatic; expel wind in the easiest manner, without immoderately heating or inflaming the bowels; they are extremely serviceable in all seasons, but in the course of my practice I have proved them particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bilious habits experience such a total loss of appetite, littlestness and oppression; in such instances, by the application of this remedy the stomach is invariably fortified, appetite and digestion effectually promoted, and plentiful perspiration produced. Being peculiarly adapted to cleanse the urinary passages, they are singularly serviceable in dropsies, by giving tone to the solids, enriching the blood, and invigorating the whole system. From their celebrity as an antidote against the tarry, they are particularly calculated for seafaring persons, to whose attention they are respectfully recommended. Persons leading sedentary inactive lives, are most subject to these complaints. All, therefore, in such situations, though not immediately aware of inconveniences, would act wisely by securing a continuance of health, by means of this generous stomachic, as well as all epicures and bon vivants who wish for a delicious and delicate preparative for the appetite, the best companion at the festive board. ** These Bitters are sold by the sole agent, at No. 48, Newbury-Street, corner of Winter-Street, Boston, N. England, who has authorized some person as Vendor in all the principal towns in the New England States, viz.—Mr. CHARLES PEIRCE, for Portsmouth, and Mr. JOSIAH GILMAN, for York, by whom the above may be had Wholesale and Retail.
