From Judge Ruff's Charge to the Grand Jury of Luzerne County, in Pennsylvania.
IT has long been my opinion, that the relaxation of domestic authority is one of the most alarming symptoms both of the degeneracy and dangerous situation of our country. Parents and masters seem to have abandoned all controul over those, that Providence has placed under their care and guardianship. They seem totally indifferent, both as to the company and hours they keep, and the places they frequent. The reins being thus thrown loose upon bad propensities, it is no wonder they take the shortest road to destruction, and hasten to taverns. Depend upon it, gentlemen, it is a serious truth, tho' not often heard in Courts of Justice, that we are responsible to Heaven, not for our own actions only, but in some degree for the actions of those who may be influenced by our example or authority. If we permit our children to do as they please—to frequent what company they please—and to keep what hours they please, nothing can be expected, but that our country, ere long, will swarm with a race of beings, that neither fear God, nor regard man. Such are the in calculable advantages of discipline over young persons, that I have often thought (religion and a future state out of the question) it would be the height of wisdom to compel them to keep the most exact hours, to oblige them to a regular attendance on the public institutions of christianity, to confine them to their own homes on Sunday, at least some portion of the day, and in various other instances of a similar nature to restrain them, if it were only to impress them with habits of early subordination to private authority, in order to lay a proper foundation of obedience to public Government and the laws of the land.—Certainly much depends upon the influence of parents and masters, to remedy the evils arising from the multiplicity of our taverns. It is in their power to restrain their children and servants, and they are bound to do it, by the strongest consideration that can actuate the human breast. A regard to their own peace and repose beyond the grave, and the future happiness of their country, equally require it at their hands.
An Examination of the President's Reply to the New-Haven Remonstrance; with an Appendix, containing the President's Inaugural Speech, the Remonstrance and Reply; together with a List of Removals from Office, and New Appointments, made since the fourth of March, 1801.—New-York, printed by George F. Hopkins.
THIS is a very sensible well-written pamphlet, containing a much more comprehensive and systematic view of Mr. Jefferson's operations, than has yet appeared. The writer analyses the sentiments of the reply with acuteness and ability, and traces the mischievous tendency of the revolutionary system in a variety of particulars. In considering the late conduct of the Executive, as involving a constitutional question, we think the writer has taken the true ground. He admits, that the right to remove from office rests in the President; but animadverts with much justice upon its abuse. This right is important but it cannot be limited with any precision. It is a high confidential trust of power, to be exercised with great delicacy and discretion; and in proportion as it is liable to abuse, and incapable of exact limitation, the obligation increases to use it with a constant reference to the public good.
How far the President had in any case the sole right of removal from office, was early drawn into controversy, and made a subject of serious debate in the House of Representatives during the first session of Congress. On that occasion, Mr. Madison, then a zealous and able federalist, contended that the unqualified right to remove did exist in the Executive alone. This power was considered of so very high and confidential a nature, that it
was not yielded without much objection and difficulty; but at length the construction advocated by Mr. Madison was adopted, and has ever since prevailed.
"Not so the power of appointment to office; the constitution has not left that a constructive power.
"The second article of the constitution vests in the President the right of appointing "officers of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate." Had the article stopped here, there could be no pretence that the President alone could in any case appoint to office. It was however foreseen, that vacancies might happen in the recess of the Senate, which the exigencies of the public would demand to be filled before that body could be convened, and consulted—Therefore in the same section it is provided, that "the President shall have power to fill up vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions, which shall expire at the end of their next session."
"The evident intent of this provision in the constitution is, the appointment to office shall be the joint act of the President and Senate; with the single exception, that in case of vacancies happening during the recess, the President alone may appoint.
"To provide for this casualty, so that the public service should not suffer, the clause was added, empowering the President alone to fill such vacancy. The terms employed in the constitution import casualty.—And it is observable, that such a jealous solicitude was entertained respecting the exercise of this power; such apprehension, that it might possibly be made use of to create Executive influence, that it is immediately added, that all "commissions thus granted should expire at the end of the next session."
"Appointments by the President alone, being thus predicated on casualty, and by way of exception to a general rule, it may be taken as a found position, that the general rule should never give way but in cases which come fairly within the exception stated.
"Resignation and death are each plain instances of casualty; delinquency may also, without a forced construction, be added. These are the cases, in which public convenience requires the exercise of this extraordinary power of the President.
"But—for the Executive to undertake, voluntarily and deliberately, to create vacancies in the recess of the Senate, for the express purpose of filling them himself—for him thus to displace entire classes of officers, without any charge of delinquency, and without even a shadow of pretence that the public service required it; merely on the vague, speculative notion of balancing the emoluments of office between two contending political Sects, is not only a striking deviation from good sense and propriety,

the advice and consent of the Senate," to appoint the officer they approve of, and in the first moments of the recess, dismiss him, merely to substitute his favourite. Thus the controul which the constitution intended the Senate should have over appointments, should be in a great measure, if not entirely lost."
After some further remarks upon this subject, the writer asks—
"Is it in the spirit of the constitution and laws which he has sworn to support? With plain men, unaccustomed to the subtleties taught in the school of modern philosophy, it cannot fail of being considered a palpable violation of both."
"If such practice may be tolerated, it is in vain to attempt to guard against the encroachments of power by any form of language. Utterly in vain is it to attempt to frame written constitutions—They will only serve to conceal the chains with which an ambitious despot may manacle our liberties whenever it suits his humour."
"It is easy to resist the open force of an enemy, but against those insidious attacks, where the hand is concealed while it strikes, neither prudence nor courage can avail."
"Those who have placed Mr. Jefferson in office, have been uniformly clamorous against ideal innovations upon the constitution. Scarcely an act of the government out of the ordinary course of business, that has not been declared by them to be unconstitutional. But on a sudden they make a bountiful display of regard and veneration for an instrument, which, before its adoption, they did every thing in their power to vilify, and the administration of which they have left no effort untried to calumniate. The moment they fancy themselves masters of the 'honours and confidence' of the people, all is safe and secure; power in their hands loses its terrors, and the apprehension of its abuse is lulled to sleep. The man of the people may trample upon private rights at pleasure; invade the sacred provisions of the constitution; insult and disfranchise one half of the community; yet all this can be endured without a single murmur from these fierce Republicans."
"We have also of late years been often entertained with invectives against Executive patronage; it has been a theme on which the patriotic orators of the day have exultingly declaimed. How much is it to be lamented, that they have already exhausted their rhetoric on an imaginary grievance, whilst the reality is suffered quietly to pass without notice or observation! If they could have restrained their declamatory fervour to the present period they would have found in a few short months abundant materials on which to employ their eloquence, strengthened and supported by truth. But this is not the purpose for which their talents are called into action; they startle at its approach—they vanish at its touch."

MILAN, JULY 20.
A n alarming mutiny has broken out in the French troops at Turin. They refused to march to Tuscany, until their arrears of pay were discharged. Generals Jourdan, Delmas, and Collin, exerted themselves to suppress them; but which they did not effect until blood was spilt.—At last upon promise of pay the soldiery were quieted; and to fulfil his promise Gen. Jourdan has demanded a loan of three hundred thousand livres on the merchants, besides another sum on persons of property! The following is his Proclamation on the subject:—
"At the moment when order was restored, when I was on the point of realizing the promises I had made to you, an unfortunate coincidence of circumstance suspends the execution of my plans for some days, and to demand of you a last sacrifice. I request it of you, in the name of your safety and property, but only for one month. You know that one of the principal duties amounting to seven millions, becomes due in July; if only one half, one third, or even one fourth of it is collected, it would be sufficient to repay to you the sum which I now borrow of you. The Bank and the Commerce of Turin will, therefore, lend me 300,000 livres; the rich Proprietors of houses in Turin must advance double the amount of their taxes; the seventeen old Provinces shall pay 10,000 livres each, and couriers be immediately dispatched to inform them the University and the Mint shall advance to me all their ready money; and all the cash thus received shall be immediately delivered up to the Quarter-Master, of the divisions of troops, &c. I hope, citizens, that, under the pressure of circumstances in which my demand is made, you will only remark my solicitude for your tranquillity. Consider, that a very slight and transient sacrifice will be able to ob-
viates the most melancholy consequences."
(Signed) "JOURDAN." On the 11th, the day before the above disturbances broke out, General Jourdan had issued a Proclamation to the Piedmontese, in which he represented to them the happy prospects opening to their view, and stated that six Bankers were now completing a voluntary loan of 200,000 livres.
Persian Embassy.
The following letters on the above subject are the more interesting, as they communicate some information as to the state of a country, once so celebrated but of whose present condition such general and absolute ignorance prevails:
"Shiraz, August 29, 1800."
"IN a former letter I mentioned to you the Embassy having left Abu Shih, commonly called Bushire, for this place; we travelled in the most splendid style with respect to our equipment and attendants and were treated with the utmost attention and respect throughout the whole of our journey. The different Governors of the respective provinces through which our route lay, came out to receive and welcome the Envoy, conducting him to his tents, under a continual discharge of fire-arms, with a grand display of military evolutions. The early part of our journey proved extremely unpleasant on account of the excessive heat, until we arrived at Cazeroon; having then passed, or rather ascended two ranges of exceeding high mountains, we experienced a very sensible alteration in the climate. We halted at Cazeroon ten days after our fatigue, regaling ourselves with plenty of different ices, great quantities of snow being brought from the surrounding mountains."
"On our leaving Cazeroon, we ascended two more ranges of mountains, before we reached Shiraz, with the sight of which we were at length gratified on the 13th of June. Captain Malcolm, the Envoy, made his public entry the following day and was received with the highest and most flattering distinction. Five Noblemen of the higher order, attended by a retinue of upwards of a thousand horse, came out to receive him, welcome him on his arrival, and conduct him to where his tents had been pitched, which was on a lofty terrace, under the walls of the garden, called Jehan Numa, and within a few hundred yards of the tomb of the celebrated Hafiz; and the stream of Rochnabad, so famed in his poems, does us the honour of running through our camp; it is at present not a very mighty stream, being no more than two feet wide, but the pureness of its waters justly deserve all the praises they have received. The bower of Motella is also close at hand, but which has suffered from time, nothing now remaining of that formerly much admired place, but the ruins of an old brick wall."
"Our stay here has altogether been extremely pleasant particularly the latter part of our time; the first six weeks we were continually entertained with feasting, feats in wrestling, rope-dancing, and fire works. Soon after our arrival we quitted our tents, and took up our residence in a Palace, situated in the centre of the delightful garden of the Jehan Numa. Since our arrival we have seen the PRINCE REGENT two or three times; he is a very handsome boy of about twelve years old. I suppose our stay at this place will not now exceed eight or ten days. When we shall begin our journey to Ispahan, from whence you may again expect to hear from me. I profess I cannot help feeling a particular degree of veneration for the place we are now in, and conceive I am treading classic ground."
"Ispahan, September 23:"
"Agreeable to my promise, I transmit you a short account of our journey from Shiraz to this place. We left Shiraz on the 4th inst. and the roads and country through which we passed were excellent, generally leading through large extensive plains, of a rich soil; but the traces of industry, or the cultivating hand of the farmer, were evidently wanting, owing probably from the scarcity of water, but still more so from the want of population. On our way from Shiraz we visited the ruins of the once celebrated city of Persepolis but as we only continued there one day, we had but a very cursory view of it, yet still sufficient to forcibly impress on the mind an idea of its former grandeur. Our reception at Ispahan was truly magnificent; the Beglerbeg's brother and son, attended by nearly ten thousand troops, marched out the distance of eight miles to meet us, and if I may be permitted to judge from appearances, there must have been not less than thirty thousand spectators assembled to witness the novelty of such a sight. We have not yet paid a visit to the city, but it appears to be of immense extent, and its whole appearance denotes the capital of a great and extensive
empire. One of the palaces of the Seffeiran Monarchs is fitted up for our reception, and we shall take possession of it to-morrow or next day; at present we are encamped on the banks of the river Zainderood to the eastward of the city. The Beglerbeg, Hajj Mahomed Hussain Khan, has just paid us a visit; he is a remarkable pleasant old man, said to be extremely rich, and made an elegant and showy appearance in his dress and equipage. We propose to leave this in about ten days, and expect to be at the Imperial Stirrup in about three weeks afterwards, at farthest."
HALIFAX, Sept. 22.
A letter from St. John's Newfoundland to an officer in this garrison, mentions, that a person in a dreadful fit of insanity, having possessed himself of a hatchet, went to the house of a poor woman, in which were three children, and split their skulls in a most shocking manner.—The mother hearing the cries of her children, ran to their assistance, and shared the same fate.—The unhappy wretch was at length disarmed by Col. Hutton; but not before he had dangerously wounded nine persons, six of which were dead, when the vessel in which the letter came, left Saint Johns.
A fatal duel lately occurred in Quebec, between Major Impey and Lieut. Willis of the 6th regt.—Major I. was mortally wounded the first shot.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.
FRENCH CONVENTION RATIFIED.
LETTERS have been received at the Department of State from Maj. Mounflore, who acted as Secretary to Mr. Murray, dated Paris, 3d and 6th August, announcing that the ratifications of the Convention between France and the United States were exchanged on the 31st July, and that the gentlemen charged to carry the French Ratification to America, had left Paris on the 5th of August for Dieppe, where he was to embark for Philadelphia.
MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON. A letter from Capt. O'Brien dated Algiers, 22d July, states the arrival there on the 9th, of the frigate President, and Schooner Enterprize, whence they sailed for Tunis on the 11th.
The frigate Essex, Capt. Bainbridge, arrived off Marseilles on the 29th July, and took under convoy the American ship Martha, Capt. Prince, the only vessel ready for sea, and proceeded immediately for Barcelona to convey from thence, the twenty-six sail we have in that port.
Extract of a letter from David Humphreys, Esquire, dated Madrid July 27, 1801. "Since the date of my last dispatch to you, I have received a letter from commodore Dale, dated Gibraltar Bay, the 2d inst. giving an account of the arrival of the squadron under his command, of his having found there the High Admiral of Tripoli, with one ship and one brig, and of his own design to sail for Algiers the next day, leaving one of his frigates to watch the motions of those vessels of Tripoli.—Nothing could have been more opportune for the protection of our commerce than the arrival of this force, to prevent them from proceeding into the Western Ocean, where, in a few days cruise between Cadiz and Lisbon, they might in all human probability have produced the most disastrous consequences, by capturing the property of our merchants to an amazing amount and making slaves of a great number of our citizens."
"Fortunate indeed, will it be for us if our Mediterranean Trade, should escape the threatened peril, with only the damage it must suffer from having been interrupted for a short period; as I flatter myself, that whatever might have been the idea at the time of the sailing of commodore Dale's squadron from America, that trade will never again be left in the same defenceless and exposed situation. Knowing, as I do, that the great and increasing value of it, in all points of estimation, is fully appreciated by government, I shall only remark, that the Dutch in common with most of the belligerent powers having lost their carrying trade, the Danes and Swedes having had their activity greatly paralysed by the stroke lately given by England to their navigation, and the Austrian Towns and Prussians having no vessels in the Mediterranean on account of their being at war with the Barbary states, no occasion could be more favourable than the present for the encouragement of the American spirit of industry and enterprise in that quarter."
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.
FROM FRANCE.
Extract of a letter to the Editor of the Aurora, dated Bourdeaux, Aug. 16.
"About ten days since I fell in with a young Irishman from Belfast, who knew you, he is an officer in the army, and was on his way from Paris to Portugal with his brigade, and spent two days here, during which I learned that the invasion of England will be determined only by the deliberations on the question of peace. He says the influential men in the present French government do not possess the general confidence, and that there exists at this moment three very powerful parties, who are kept from action only by the sense of a necessity for general union against England. All parties confess that Bonaparte has done more for the republic than any other man, but that he places confidence in men whom no honest man with honest views could avoid suspecting. The people like the effects produced by the Consular go-
vernment very well, and the Consal as a man but they think as some of our dispassionate men in America thought at the first that the act of usurpation was in itself fatal. Many evil eyes are upon him as another Cæsar, and I should not be surprised to hear of the final being carried further."
"A commercial regulation of some importance to America has taken place in the Ligurian Republic. Ever since the year 1656, the commerce in Tobacco was a monopoly, and subject to heavy impositions, on the 24th of July, a law was promulgated by the legislative consults, (or council) making the commerce in tobacco free, and admitting strangers to import it into any part of the Republic. This I conceive must be of advantage, to the southern states in particular."

No duty is required upon peltries brought by inland navigation.
ALBANY, Sept. 25.
On Monday night last, between the hours of 12 and 1, as Mr. Lyman Parker was passing through Ferry street, in the lower part of this city, a musket, loaded with small shot, was discharged from a window of the house of Mr. Timothy Parks. Mr. Parker received the contents in his side. He ran some distance and fell. He is still living, but 'tis thought he will not recover. On examining the house of Mr. Parks, a gun was found loaded, with the appearance of having been recently discharged. Mr. Parks is committed to jail, upon suspicion of being the perpetrator.
BOSTON, July 5.
Interesting to Mariners.
Capt. Fellows, of the British Packet Lady Hobart, informs that Sir John Wentworth (Governor of Nova-Scotia) was about dispatching the armed brig Earl Moira, with several vessels laden with live stock and provisions, for the Isle of Sable.—The Governor had contrasted with several persons to reside on that Island, where a lighthouse is to be erected, and as accommodations for unfortunate Mariners, who strand upon that hitherto desolate place. A gun is to be kept at the lighthouse, to answer any signals in cases of darkness or fog.
New-York Paper.
From the NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
Printed at the City of Washington.
ON the night of the 9th inst. on the river Ohio, near Gallipolis, two white men, viz. Bennett Rogers and Ralph Elliott, were murdered by a negro man named Jack Neal. The history of the transaction is as follows: Bennett Rogers had purchased in or near the city of Washington, a number of negroes for the purpose of taking them to the Western country; in which number, was Jack Neal, who had been the property of Col. Lyde. Jack was unwilling to go with Rogers, being, as he says, entitled to freedom. Rogers however, put him in irons, and, with the other negroes he had purchased, took him on to Wheeling, where, having purchased a pirogue, or large canoe, he put Jack and the other negroes he had purchased on board, and began to descend the Ohio, intending it is said for the state of Tennessee, which is supposed to have been the place of his residence. Jack had frequently on the way threatened the life of Rogers; he therefore confined him with a
chain to the side of the pirogue, and at a little distance from Jack he chained another negro, named Bob, who threatened to run away. The other negroes, four in number, were not confined. Rogers had no white man on board with him, except Ralph Elliott, whom he had hired to assist him. Jack found means to crack the staple that fastened the staple to the side of the pirogue; but declined breaking it entirely off, until a suitable opportunity should offer for accomplishing his determined purpose of taking the life of his master. Such an opportunity offered on the night of the ninth inst. Rogers, weary with watching and fatigue during the preceding night and day, laid himself down on a deck erected at the fore end of the pirogue leaving Elliott to steer. When all was dark, quiet and still, the other negroes, asleep, except two, they nodding, Jack quietly broke off the staple that fastened his chain, and crept softly to his master; he slipped his master's pistols from his side, and with hatchet or tomahawk, which he held in his hand, struck him several blows on the head. Elliott, fatigued at the other end of the pirogue hearing a noise, and it being too dark to see distinctly, rose up, and asked what was the matter; he received no answer until Jack crept near to him and addressed him with "Damn you, it was your time once, but it is mine now." Elliott seeing his danger immediately leaped overboard, and was drowned. Jack then returned to his master, who was not yet entirely dead; and stripping him of his coat, watch, &c. took him by the legs and pushed his head into the river. He held him in this situation until he was quite dead, and then threw him overboard. Jack now took the command of the pirogue, loosed Bob from his chain, and ordered them all to their oars: telling them he was now their master, that they owed their freedom to him, and that in a little time they should all be safe in the city of Washington. He steered up the river, but the darkness of the night was so increased by a thick fog, that they made but poor speed, and wandered about, scarcely knowing which way they went, until day appeared, when they found themselves about a mile from where they had been committed; Jack then threw a number of things overboard, and made to shore. What things he had not thrown into the river, he hid in a hollow tree, and turning the pirogue loose, ordered the negroes to follow him: and commenced his journey by land. As they went on shore just above Gallipolis, the light articles that had been thrown out of the pirogue into the river, were presently discovered, particularly a box marked "J. Reynolds" a shirt, and some other things, and the pirogue was soon seen, with its bloody deck. The people at Point-Pleasant, four miles above, soon heard of these circumstances, and immediately recollected that the evening before, about dusk they had seen a pirogue pass down with two white men and several negroes: Shortly after intelligence arrived, that six negroes had been seen that morning going up the Ohio, on the western side. As many of the people of Point-Pleasant as could get horses, immediately mounted, crossed the Ohio, and went in pursuit of the negroes. They had not gone very far till they came up with them. The negroes submitted without resistance, and it appearing that the murder had been committed on the Ohio river, and consequently within the jurisdiction of Virginia, they were brought to Point-Pleasant, and by a Justice of the peace committed to the goal of Kenuawha county. They were tried on the 17th inst. by a court convened for that purpose, and all acquitted except Jack Neal, who was found guilty of murder in the first degree, and sentenced to be hung on the 19th of September next. The other negroes, five in number, have been hired out by order of court, to be delivered up whenever called for. A person has been appointed to collect such effects of the deceased as can be found, and to keep them in safe custody, subject to the future order of the court.
If any person who reads this should know where Mr. Rogers' relatives reside, it would be a friendly act to communicate it to them as soon as possible, that some one or more of them may come forward and take upon them the administration of his estate.
The negroes say that he put up while in the city of Washington, at a Mr. Clark's near the hotel; but that they never heard him speak of any relations, except some sisters living in the state of Tennessee.

A LETTER from Brunswick, said to have been received by the way of Holland, speaks with confidence of the capitulation of Alexandria, six days after the fall of Cairo.
OF PORTUGAL.
Extract of a letter from off Lisbon, July 25. "In passing over the Bar of Lisbon we met the long-expected rich convoy coming from Brazil, about 40 sail, and about 15 more were a day's sail behind them. In this fleet two ships are filled with treasure for the Court of Spain, without which the Spanish Government could not have existed two months longer! The non-arrival of this fleet prevented the Peace being published, for fear of its falling into the hands of the English, now that it has arrived in safety, I feel no hesitation in explaining the mystery which so long suspended the publication of the treaty of peace."
The English packet boats to Lisbon continue to carry a flag of truce; a proof that every day is expected to put a stop to our intercourse with that country.
Of the fall of Cairo, &c. confirmed.
GLASGOW, AUG. 25.
By the Hamburg mail which arrived on Saturday, the following account, dated the 18th July, is received from Constantinople. "It is now officially known that the French Army at Cairo, after an obstinate battle, in which they lost about two thousand men, in killed and wounded, on the 20th June, surrendered to the British and Turks. The French troops before the battle, consisted of 6000 men."
A letter from a respectable mercantile house in London to their Correspondent in Town, dated on Saturday evening, has the following postscript: "The Tower guns are now firing, we understand on the news of Alexandria being taken, with 10,000 men."
Of Lord Nelson's Squadron.
LONDON, AUG. 20.
The most active preparations are making to enable Lord Nelson to proceed immediately on some other expedition. There is every reason to suppose that the French will next be attacked in a quarter where an attempt is the least expected, as the strictest secrecy is observed respecting the plan in contemplation. Several bombs and five ships joined his Lordship on Tuesday in the Downs.
[Porcupine.]
Letters received yesterday morning from Dover, mention that Lord Nelson was to sail again on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning, in order, to attempt the burning of the enemy's gun-vessels in Boulogne, which could not be brought off on Saturday, on account of their being chained to the shore. His Lordship is to take several fire-ships with him.
[Times.]
AUG. 22.
Lord Nelson, at 6 o'clock on Saturday morning, made the signal for all commanders to come on board the Medusa, where they received the following orders:—That every vessel in the fleet was to send her large boats well armed with pikes, pole axes, and cutlasses; every officer and sailor to be dressed in blue jacket and trowsers, with a white belt buckled over the jacket, for the culais; each boat carrying a carcase to burn the enemy's vessels, in case we could not succeed in carrying them off after boarding.
Letters from off Havre, mention that the frigates in that harbour, appeared to be ready for sea. Capt. Rogers, of the American frigate Maryland, is complained of by the French, as having given information to the British. The charge is double-faced unfounded.
Thirty-five gun boats have lately escaped from Dunkirk to Calais.
NEGOTIATION.
LONDON, AUG. 20.
M. Otto daily gains ground in the good offices of our Ministers, and whether peace, or a promulgation of the war be the result of the present negotiation, that gentleman, whose manners and principles have been strangely misrepresented, will have the singular good fortune of having given entire satisfaction to one party at least.
[Porcupine.]
For two days we have had no arrivals from France. The attack on the port of Boulogne seems also to have been that of Calais; for previous to that event we had almost daily intercourse with the enemy. A ministerial writer says, but without any appearance of probability, that in consequence of a strong representation by Mr. Merry, the government of France did at length declare its readiness to treat on certain preliminary principles insisted on by England; and that this acquiescence arrived here only on Monday last. There is not the least colour of truth in this assertion. The rumour of conciliatory propositions came evidently from Paris several days before, and it is now considered as a mere fabrication for the Ally.
[Morning Chronicle.]
AUG. 22.
Parliament, it is said, is to be assembled early in the month of October, to grant a vote of credit, and for other purposes. Perhaps also it is the intention of Ministers to lay before Parliament the long and mysterious correspondence, as a preliminary to a negotiation with the French Government, that has so long engaged the public attention.
AUG. 23.
The speculators in the funds have been very busy in the course of the week, in forwarding, as well as they were able, the great work of the negotiation between England and France; their labours, however, do not appear to have produced any powerful effects. Among other rumours, it has been stated that Lord St. Helen's, immediately on his return from Russia, is to be invested with high diplomatic powers, with which he will proceed to Paris.
It is otherwise stated, that Mr. Addington having caused particular terms to be laid before the French Government, from which it is impossible to recede, the answer of the First Consul will determine whether the negotiation shall assume a more legitimate aspect, or be discontinued altogether. Neither of these reports, we believe, will be found to rest on very respectable authority; hopes, flattering to the friends of Peace, may, however, continue to be entertained, so long as the official correspondence between London and Paris is kept open.
The Tiers Confolide are at 42 fr. and three quarters. This elevation is easily accounted for, by the continued activity of Mr. Merry and the resumed activity of the Negotiation.
At sales by auction in London, superfine American flour began at forty four shillings, and ended at the reduced price of thirty seven shillings per barrel.
GENOA, AUG. 3.
The squadron of admiral Sir John Borlase Warren, which went in pursuit of Gantheaume, is at present in the neighbourhood of Leghorn: It consists of 7 ships of the line and two frigates. Porto Ferrajo is thus delivered on the sea side; reinforcements and ammunition may now be introduced into it.
KNOXVILLE, Sept. 9.
We hear from South West Point, that the treaty with the Cherokees is broken up, the commissioners not being able to effect the object of their appointment. The Cherokees refuse to sell lands, or to permit roads being cut through their country.—Double-head concluded his last talk with saying, "That the Indians did not wish to be again spoken to on that subject." He then addressed the people of Tennessee, and said, "That the white people owed them their lives; that they had waited some time for satisfaction, and would wait yet longer, but were determined on retaliation."
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3.
Extract of a letter from a respectable mercantile house in Liverpool, to their correspondents in this city.
"At the sales by auction this day, superfine flour sold at 44s 9d a 46s per barrel; rye flour at 23s a 26s per barrel; indian meal at 19s 1d per barrel; indian corn at 3s 3d a 3s 4d per bushel; rice at 22s a 23s 6d per cwt. The cause of the present decline in grain and flour is to be attributed to an abundant and early harvest, a considerable part of which has been already gathered in, and for the remainder of which the weather continues extremely favorable."
"Hops that were at ten guineas per cwt. of 112 lbs. are now selling at six guineas; it is universally agreed the ground never produced better crops."
"Some foreign hops have been sold at public sale at three guineas."

St. Croix was still garrisoned by English troops 12 days since, the time the Elizabeth and Sarah failed from thence.
A Natchez paper of the 18th Aug. states, that a report was in circulation, which was generally believed, that the yellow fever had made its appearance in New-Orleans, and that great numbers daily fell victims to its destructive ravages.
BOSTON, Oct. 12.
YELLOW FEVER.
The following paragraph is copied from a Philad. paper of the 5th inst. and we are sorry to add, that its intelligence is in a degree authenticated, by the public testimony of the Mayor of Norfolk, and by private letters from New York:—
"On Saturday we had to announce the unpleasant intelligence of the existence of the Yellow fever in Norfolk. To-day we are compelled to state, on the authority of sundry letters from New-York, that an alarming fever prevails in that city."
By the report of the health committee at New-Bedford, it appears, that but one person was sick on Friday last.
EGYPT.
The London Courier of Aug. 22, contains an article "from Constantinople, July 18," stated the capture of Cairo as officially known, with no other particulars than those already published, except that two days after the victory the Grand Vizier made his formal entry into Cairo, and gave orders for 36,000 of his men to march against Alexandria.
The Bercan was left by the Vineyard pilot about 20 leagues to the Eastward of George's Bank. He says he failed remarkably fast.
Government has received information of the ratification of the Treaty with France; and that Mr. Th. Appleton, who was to be the bearer of the finished Treaty, left Paris, Aug. 5, for Dieppe, there to embark for Philadelphia.

SALEM, October 6.
On Saturday last arrived the Ship Martha, Capt. John Prince, from the Mediterranean; through whose polite attention we are enabled to give the public some satisfactory account respecting the expedition of Gantheaume's squadron, and a confirmation of the capture of Grand Cairo by the Turkish and British forces.
The number of troops which squadron carried out, and which in the French papers has generally been stated at 8000, and sometimes at 10,000, was actually no more than 4000, which number better accords with the capacity of the ships on board which they were embarked.—A few days before captain Prince failed from Marfeilles, which was on the 29th of July, Gantheaume's return to Toulon was announced, having been frustrated in the object of his expedition. He attempted to land the troops about 40 leagues to the westward of Alexandria, and actually disembarked a part of one brigade, when they were immediately attacked and mostly cut off by the Arabs; a few were able to regain the ships. Finding it at length impracticable to effect a landing, and the troops becoming very sickly, he felt himself under the necessity of returning to Toulon, where he landed 1200 sick troops, and thus closed the expedition. Thus cut off from all means of supplying or reinforcing their army in Egypt, that country was considered, by every intelligent man in Marfeilles, as completely lost to France; and vessels in that port which had been loaded several months for Egypt, and were waiting for intelligence of Gantheaume's success, in order to their sailing, were taking out their cargoes, from despair of ever being able to send them safely to the place of their destination.
Capt. Prince touched at Gibraltar on the 29th of August, where he was informed, from the best authority, that Grand Cairo had surrendered to the combined forces of the British and Turks, on the 28th of June.—The intelligence was brought by a frigate, which had proceeded to England with the dispatches. Public rejoicings had been made at Gibraltar, on account of this success to their arms. After the fall of Cairo, Alexandria, was the only post remaining to the French in Egypt, which was expected soon to share the same fate.
Capt. Bainbridge of the Essex frigate, also received the account of the surrender of Cairo from a British frigate near Malta.
PORTSMOUTH, OCTOBER 13.
MELANCHOLY.
An unhappy incident occurred at Swansey, several young soldiers assembled to honor some new made under officers, when one of them, Mr. Levi Warren, a youth of about 20, was instantly killed by the bursting of his piece. His companions cautioned him against loading so deep, and when he fired, fearing some accident, stepped a few paces back—The deceased tho' not of danger, and probably felt ambitious to make the loudest report. The numerous accidents which occur from the imprudent use of fire-arms, ought to deter others from such dangerous experiments.
Two Beets were raised the present season, at Somersworth, in a garden belonging to Capt. Hiram Rollins, which weighed together, twenty-two pounds and a half, after the tops were taken off. One of them measured 23 inches round.
It is stated in a late London paper, that a well at Grand Cairo of the astonishing depth of 276 feet, and 60 feet in circumference; it is cut in a solid rock, and oxen are employed in drawing up the water, which is very plentiful at all times, and of a fine pure quality. This place is called Joseph's Well, taken from a Grand Vizier, who, about seven hundred years ago, had the care of the work under Sultan Mahomet.
The following paragraph of a letter, written by the celebrated Dr. JENNER, to Dr. WATERHOUSE, dated London, July 18th, 1801, may be considered as the GOLDEN RULE in the Vaccine Inoculation:—
"I don't care what British laws the Americans discard, so that they stick to this—NEVER TO TAKE THE VIRUS FROM A VACCINE PUSTULE FOR THE PURPOSE OF INOCULATION, AFTER THE EFFLORESCENCE IS FORMED AROUND IT. I with this efflorescence to be considered as a sacred boundary over which the lancet should never pass."
The Doctor adds, "an hundred thousand persons, upon the smallest computation, have been inoculated in these realms. The numbers who have partaken of its benefits throughout Europe, and other parts of the globe, are incalculable; and it now becomes too manifest to admit of controversy, that the annihilation of the small-pox, the most dreadful scourge of the human species, must be the final result of this practice."
Citizen Berard, associate of the society of agriculture at Paris, has invented a sort of a lamp which he calls a phosphorus, and which, without consuming above 4 ounces of oil in 24 hours, affords light to read the smallest type at a considerable distance.
In the Gazette of the 29th ult. was published a paragraph under Portsmouth head handed in for publication just before the paper was put to press, intimating that a vessel had arrived at Portland from the West-Indies, and went directly up to the wharf with a fever on board, by which imprudent conduct nearly a dozen of the inhabitants of that place had since fallen victims to the fever.—We are extremely happy in having it in our power, by authority from the respectable Editor of the Portland Gazette to contradict said paragraph, who says that Portland enjoys a remarkable degree of health, and has had no contagious fever this season; from other respectable sources we have received the same information.

New Law Authority.
THERE has just been published in Boston, and may be had of James White and Samuel Hall in Boston; of Nathaniel Paine, Esq. of Worcester; of Joseph Lyman, Esq. Northampton; William Prescott, Esq. Salem; Dudley A. Tyng, Esq. Newburyport; H. S. Langdon, Esq. Portsmouth; and the Hon. Daniel Davis, at Portland, an American production, entitled, "The History of that State."
This book has its origin in the provision of the Constitution—"that all laws adopted, and practised upon before the revolution, should remain in force until altered by the General Court."
The object is, to shew what laws had been adopted, and practised upon; what laws had been made here, and what are now in force in regard to real estates.
This book is addressed to the Judges of the Supreme Judicial Court, because it treats of the principles by them, from time to time adopted; and contains reports of their decisions in many cases, as well on our Statutes as on the Common Law.
The author gives an explanatory description of the Common Law, and of its use in the State.
An account of the civil institutions of the natives, when the country was discovered, in regard to lands.
The history of the discovery of the country.
The tenor and principles of the charters, granted to the first settlers.
The laws which governed real property in the old colonies of Massachusetts, New-Plymouth, the Province of Maine, and the Territory of Acadia, before the charter of 1692.
The consolidation of those several colonies by that charter, and the contest respecting, and the settlement of its boundaries.
The laws now in being for the government of real Estates—Fee simple—Fee tail—Inheritaences in right of the whole, and half blood—Estates for life—Estates in dower, in curtesy, and by grant Estates for term of years—Estates by purchase, in which the making and probate of wills, devisees, &c. are considered—Deeds and conveyances—Sales by executors, administrators and guardians; with directions as to the laws to be observed, and the rules established—Sales by taxes and the laws on the same—Extents
of executions—Mortgages, and the manner of redemption of mortgaged Estates.
The doctrine of uses and trusts are explained in a familiar manner.
The remedies in real actions—containing the principles of ejectment, and other real actions; and the forms of declarations and pleas in the same.
The remedies in trespass, waste and nuisances, by overflowsings, &c. and the declarations and pleas, as well on the Statutes, as on the Common Law in those cases, as used and practised in this state.
The book contains 400 pages, and is handsomely printed and bound.—The price is three dollars.
The net proceeds are for the use of the Historical Society, to be expended for public objects.
The production will be of great use to students: And as the authorities for the principles it contains in the English reports and instances, and the decisions of our own Courts, are accurately referred to, it will be of advantage to gentlemen in practice. The Judge and the Justice of the Peace will derive benefit from the definition of jurisdiction in cases respecting lands; and the gentlemen who love to read on subjects interesting to their country, will find entertainment in the book.
Those who conceive of the high advantage of having established Institutions, and useful authorities of our own country, will give their countenance to an attempt of so much importance.

POOR little thief, of varied hue, That robb'st each choicer flower Of all its sweets and honied dew; And hum'st around my bower.
Ah! blossom robber, this small cove, Round which thou lovt to be, My care had built for her I love, And not thou rogue for thee.
But happier is thy flow'rly fate, Far, far more blest than mine: Where I had hop'd to see my mate: Thou sipp'st in bliss with thine.
'Tis thus in life—Those rosy scenes, Which all our aims employ, We gain at last with toilsome pains, For others to enjoy.
Sip, little thief, joy's nectar'd bowl— I'll not thy bliss molest; If I'm unhappy 'tis no rule, That thou shouldst not be blest.
