MISCELLANY.
In the English House of Commons, May 13, Lord Henry Petty moved the order of the day for taking into consideration His Majesty's most gracious message. He said, the object of what he had to propose, he had to propose, was, in the first instance, that an annuity of 5000l. should be voted to Earl Nelson and his heirs from the consolidated fund, and a grant of 120,000l. for maintaining the dignity of the late Barron Nelson. The question was unanimously agreed to, and a corresponding report received.
Such is the picture of monarchical economy. While three fourths of the people of England are literally in a state of starvation, suffering the distresses both of war and scarcity, 400,000 dollars are appropriated to maintain the dignity of a name, and an annual sum of more than sixteen thousand dollars in addition, to pamper the pride of a luxurious individual. And who is this favored mortal to whose enjoyment the consolidated fund of the nation is pledged? What are the merits which demand this boon? Doubtless he is some defender of his country's honor, some hero whose exertions have accomplished a stupendous object. No. This subject of lavish expenditure has only the merit of being born the brother of a hero. Earl Nelson is in no other way distinguished. His personal services cannot recommend him to national notice, but the circumstance of his birth has rendered England tributary to his support. Lord Nelson, at the battle off Trafalgar, in the gallant discharge of his duty, sacrificed his life. The honors of a grateful people were paid to his remains. Patriotism will cherish his memory, and posterity do justice to his history. The obligation due to Lord Nelson has thus far been liberally discharged, and in respect to him, public feeling must have been satisfied. The policy of the enormous grant to his brother is as unintelligible as the thing is monstrous. It can be reconciled only with the detested doctrine, that "a public debt is a public blessing." Never was power more wantonly abused, or treasure more profligately expended, than in this appropriation. The resources of the nation, drawn from the earnings of the laborious community, are here lavished without right or pretext upon a man, who has neither spirit for enterprise, nor capacity for restitution; a man of whom it has not yet been said that he had rendered his country a consideration for a farthing, but whose future grandeur is to be supported by the tears and the distresses, the oppression and ruin of thousands of his fellow creatures.
Yet strange and extravagant as may seem this instance of unjustified profusion, it is not solitary in the records of English legislation. Similar provisions are constantly resulting from the policy of the government. An individual has distinguished himself in the service of his country, and his connexions, perhaps, without moral worth or public merit, are loaded with the weight of ministerial favors. The honors of the nation are heaped upon a family to distant posterity, whose progenitor may have signalized himself by some splendid exploit. A fortunate accident or a successful effort, the rout of an enemy or the sinking of a few ships will entitle the hero to the eulogy of an age, and his descendants to the more substantial gratuity of permanent pecuniary establishments.
What more preposterous? It is this course, which has overwhelmed England with debt, and extended poverty and distress through her territory—which has covered the face of the land with the locusts of taxation, and involved her agricultural and manufacturing interests in embarrassment and dependence; which has brought war upon the country, and slavery upon the people.
The outfit of the noble earl Nelson, would have filled the national granary with plenty, and his annual stipend, to be squandered in riot and indulgence, have supplied the thousand mouths of starving mendicants, who for want of bread are driven to crime, or perishing with hunger. Four hundred thousand dollars, which the nation is amercing to maintain the dignity of the late Lord Nelson, is in reality extorted from the laborious artisan, who, on a shilling a day must subsist with a family, and while a tattered garment shall be his only covering, the royal robes which hang upon his master, are purchased with the hard earnings of his industry. The degree of oppression to which the lower classes of the people of England are subjected, has been the result of this system of patronage. They are taxed with the support of a nobility whose hereditary lot it is to roll in affluence and splendor without exertion as without honor. Merit makes not the distinction; it secures no preference. What had earl Nelson to claim on his own account? Where are the records of his fortune, the testimonials of a great and glorious life? Inscribed in the herald's office, and emblazoned on his carriage door! I am the brother of a victor.—God gave me the same father and mother. This is my Worth. These are the trophies I boast.
Such are the laurels which become a nobleman of the realm of England! Thank God, language as yet is purely transatlantic. The severance of the United States from the crown of Great Britain, that unfortunate circumstance in the opinion of Doctor Dwight, has removed from us the influence of such evil. Here no man riots upon the wealth of the people. Treasure is not here lavished upon names, but is held in reserve to support and reward personal valor.—Nat. Regis.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By the ship Packet, arrived at Boston on Wednesday last, London papers to the 1st and Liverpool to the third July, are received—from which the following extracts are made:
CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 25. The Count Italinski, envoy of Russia, has announced to the Porte, that his Court has resolved to send two ships of war with fresh troops, from Sebastopol, and that these ships would arrive a few days, at the end of the present month at Constantinople. The Porte, in the present circumstances, could not grant a passage for these troops without drawing upon itself the reproaches of another great Power.
ROTTERDAM, JUNE 20. On Wednesday last, his Majesty Louis Napoleon, King of Holland, his royal consort, children, and retinue, arrived from Breda, at the ferry of Cattendrecht, opposite Rotterdam, where they were received and presented with refreshments by his Excellency Vice-Admiral Verhuil, minister of the marine, conducted by a deputation from the council, by the Mayor and Schepens of that city. On the signal being given by the yatches of the marine stationed there, the guns on the bulwark were fired, the flags hoisted on the great church and other public buildings, on the mills, and by all the vessels in the several havens. On approaching the shore, they were saluted by the repeated acclamations of the spectators.—About nine o'clock the same evening, the royal party arrived at the Hague, where their Majesties were received by a deputation of the Magistrates of that place.
HAGUE, JUNE 20. At the audience given yesterday to their High Mightinesses by his Majesty, every solemnity of ceremonial was observed. They were introduced in the most regular form by the Marshal Governor of the Palace Noguez. The speech delivered by Mr. De Vos Van Steenwyk Tot Den Hogenhof on the occasion was of the following purport:—
"SIRE—The assembly of their High Mightinesses, in whose behalf I have at present the honor to speak, is come in a body to offer their obedience to your Majesty, and to felicitate you upon your accession to the throne of Holland. In acquitting themselves of so solemn a duty, they entreat you Sire, to receive favorably the sentiments of a deserving and every way respectable nation.
"The concurrence of events and circumstances which have overthrown the political system of Europe, has at length involved our country. After sustaining a multitude of shocks, the nation looks for a term to its long agitations, and ventures to hope, that the sceptre confided to your Majesty's foresight and wisdom, will restore its happiness and quiet.
"Peace, Sire, is the greatest of Europe's wants; it is especially so of Holland. May the powerful genius of Napoleon the Great, give to us, one day, this invaluable blessing!
"Sire! A nation celebrated for its temperance delights to contemplate in you the model of all the virtues, and gives itself up to the consoling hope, that the paternal care of your majesty for its true interests, will, under the sacred guidance of Providence, invigorate its industry and its commerce, and renovate its ancient glory and splendor. Thus will the present generation and their posterity hail your majesty as the regenerator of the public prosperity."
After the audience of his Majesty, their High Mightinesses were presented to her Majesty the Queen. The President addressed her Majesty as follows.
"MADAM.—With the confidence inspired by the graces and affability of your Majesty, the Assembly of their High Mightinesses eagerly entreats to present to you their homage and respect.
"Permit us, Madam, to join your Majesty in the vows and congratulations we have just borne to his Majesty the King.
"May the general welfare, which will be the constant object of the cares of his Majesty, your august spouse, long prove his happiness, and the happiness of your Majesty, and of all the royal family."
Both these speeches were received in the most gracious manner by their Majesties. The administration of the department of Holland, the deputies
of several other local administrations of the kingdom, and the staff officers of the navy had also formal audience of his Majesty.
The following is a copy of the speech delivered by his Majesty to their High Mightinesses:—
"GENTLEMEN.—When the national deputies came to offer me the throne which I ascend this day, I accepted it under the conviction that it was the wish of the whole nation—that the confidence and the necessities of all called me to it.
"Relying on the intelligence, zeal, and patriotism of the principal public functionaries, and particularly on yours, gentlemen the deputies, I have fearlessly weighed in my mind the misfortunes of the nation in their fullest extent. Animated by the strongest desire to promote the welfare of this good people, and entertaining a hope that I should one day attain that end, I listed those sentiments which, till then, had been ever the object and happiness of my life. I have consented to change my country, to cease to be a Frenchman, after I had entirely my whole life in performing, to the best of my ability, those duties which that name prescribes to all who have the honour of bearing it.
"I have consented to separate myself, for the first time, from him, who, from my infancy, has possessed my love and admiration—to lose the repose and independence which those whom heaven calls to govern cannot have—to quit him, the separation from whom would fill me with apprehension, even in the most tranquil times, and whose presence precludes danger.
"I have consented to all this—and, gentlemen, had I not done so, I would nevertheless yet act the same part, now that by the ardour, joy, and confidence of the people through whose country I have passed, they have proved to me that you were the true interpreters of the nation, now especially, when I am convinced that I may rely on your zeal, your attachment to the interests of your native land, and on your confidence in, and fidelity towards me.
"Gentlemen, this is the first day of the real independence of the United Provinces. A transient glance at past ages is sufficient to convince us, that they never had a stable government, a fixed destiny, a real independence. Under that famous people, whom they fought and served by turns, as under the Franks and the empire of the west, they were neither free nor tranquil.
"Neither were they so afterwards, when subjected to Spain.
"Their wars, and their repeated quarrels until the Union, added to the glory of the nation, confirmed its qualities in point of frankness, intrepidity and honour, for which indeed, it had been always celebrated; but its efforts procured it neither tranquility nor independence, even under the princes of Orange, who, tho' they were useful to their country, as soldiers and statesmen, were always disturbing it, by pretending, or endeavouring to obtain a power which the nation denied them.
"Nor could Holland be considered in that state in later times, when the elevation of ideas, and the general agitation of Europe so long suspended the repose of nations.
"After so many vicissitudes, so much agitation, so many calamities; and at a time when the great states were enlarging themselves, ameliorating and concentrating their governments and their forces, this country could enjoy no real safety nor independence but in a moderate monarchical state; a form which had been acknowledged during a long period, and by each nation in its turn, as the most perfect, and, if not absolutely so, yet as much so as the nature of man will admit. But, doubtless, if perfection were the lot of humanity, we might then dispense with a government of this kind.—Laws would then be founded in wisdom and obeyed without reluctance or obstacle; virtue would reign triumphant, and ensure its own reward; vice would be banished, and wickedness rendered impotent; but illusions which favor such romantic ideas of human nature are transient; and experience soon brings us back to positive facts.
"However, even monarchy is not sufficient for a country which, though powerful and important, is not sufficiently so for its position, which requires forces of the first rate both by land and sea. It will, therefore, be necessary for it to form a connection with one of the great powers of Europe, with which its amity may be eternally assured without any alteration of its independence.
"This, gentlemen, is what your nation has done; this is the object of its constitutional laws, and also that of my taking upon me an employment so glorious; this is my object in placing myself in the midst of a people who are, and ever shall be mine, by my affection and solicitude. With pride I perceive two of the principal means of government and confidence offering
themselves to me; the honor and the virtue of the inhabitants.
"Yes, gentlemen, these shall be the real supporters of the throne—I with for no other guides. For my part, I know no distinctions of religion or party—distrusts can only arise from merit and services. My design is only to remedy the evils which the country has suffered. The duration of these evils, and the difficulty in remedying them will only increase and realize my glory.
"To effect these objects, I have occasion for the entire confidence of the nation, their complete devotion, and all the talents of the distinguished men whom it contains, but particularly of you, gentlemen, whose zeal, talents and patriotism are well known.
"I am at this moment appealing to the good and faithful Hollanders, before the Deputies of the provinces and principal cities of the kingdom. I see them around me with pleasure. Let them bear to their fellow citizens the assurance of my solicitude and affection; let them carry the same testimony of these sentiments to Amsterdam; that city, which is the honor of commerce and the country; that city, which I wish to call my good and faithful capital, though the Hague will always remain the residence of the sovereign. Let them also carry the same assurances to their fellow citizens and the Deputies of that neighboring city, the prosperity of which I hope very soon to renew, and whose inhabitants I distinguish.
"It is by these two great powers, gentlemen: it is by the union of all orders of people in the state, and by that of my subjects among themselves; it is by the devotion of each individual to his duties, the only basis of real honor assigned to men; but principally by the unanimity which has hitherto preserved these provinces from all dangers and calamities, and which has ever been their shield, that I expect the tranquility, safety, and glory of the nation, and the happiness of my life."
LONDON, JULY 1.
Late last night the Hamburg mail due on Sunday arrived. The intelligence brought by it affords us reason to believe, that but a short time will elapse before the empire of Germany will be entirely new cast and modelled; and that Bonaparte, aiming at more extensive authority, and a more copious title, will erect another kingdom in Germany, cause himself to be created king of the Romans, and assume perhaps besides, the more splendid title of emperor of the west. For some centuries, with a single exception, the dignity of the empire has belonged to Austria. But the star of the house of Austria, as it has been called, has set, and the imperial sceptre seems to be doomed to pass from the hands of that ancient and illustrious family into that of a family of yesterday. The three powers of Austria, Prussia, and Bavaria, are to remain; and the rest of Germany, including Saxony, Hesse, Franconia, is to constitute a new federative state, under the protection and control of the king of the Romans.
Yet it is amidst these gigantic plans of ambition and aggrandizement, that some persons expect a speedy and honorable peace between this country and France!
LIVERPOOL, JULY 3.
Saturday's Gazette contained an Order in Council for liberating all Pappenburgh vessels detained previous to the 14th of May.
On Thursday last arrived in the port, in the ship Diana, from Baltimore, Mr. Pinckney, one of the gentlemen appointed by the American government, in conjunction with Mr. Monroe, to discuss the differences now subsisting between that country & G. Britain.
Policies have been opened at Lloyd's within the last few days giving sixty guineas to receive one hundred, if peace shall be concluded with France before the first of January.
BY THE MAILS.
SALEM, AUGUST 11.
Capture of the ship CONCORD.
The ship Concord, Capt. Richard Ward, jun. from this port direct for Rotterdam, was captured June 8th, off the Start, by one of his Britannic majesty's ships, and sent for Portsmouth. The cause of the capture is, that a part of her cargo was the production of one of the enemies' colonies (not enemies property.) We understand that the far greater part of this ship's cargo is Mocha Coffee, imported by the owners, George Crowninshield & Sons, of this place, and only about a dozen hogheads of coffee is said to be the produce of Bourbon, in the East Indies, not imported here by them. The whole cargo had been landed several months in the United States, and the duties paid or secured to be paid in the customary manner; and there is no pretence of enemies' property. Rotterdam is not blockaded, being one of the excepted ports in Mr. Fox's proclamation, for ships going from neutral countries. The ship and cargo was to be brought to trial at the last dates from England, and the question to be decided is, whether the theft shall be sanctioned by his majesty's courts of Admiralty, or the stolen goods be restored to the rightful owners. If a dismissal takes place, the least favor to be expected, is, that the enormous port charges and admiralty expenses will be thrown upon the claimants. Here is a valuable ship, when prosecuting a lawful voyage, with a cargo confessedly neutral, nineteen twentieths of which was purchased in Arabia, a neutral country, arrested merely for having on board a few hds. of coffee supposed to be the produce of an enemy's colony, destined to the port of another belligerent country. Does the Bourbon coffee contaminate the rest of the cargo? But the production of enemies colonies can be lawfully imported here, and the contamination is an idle pretext to seize the whole. If the British doctrine is to be thus extended to reach a whole cargo because a part was produced in an enemy's colony, the A-
merican commerce will be reduced to a name merely, and the people of the United States will enjoy but the shadow, while the substance is swallowed up. The capture of the Concord is to be considered as nothing when we reflect that this is but one among a hundred equally and perhaps more flagrant violations of our neutral rights by the ships of war of Great Britain. From the port of Salem alone, we note the following British captures and condemnations of our ships during the year past:
  The ship Hazard, Capt. Bullock, at Jamaica, condemned, ship and cargo, worth dolls. 90,000   The brig Liberty, Lambert, at Colombo, in Ceylon the whole condemned supposed worth 20,000   Ship Prudent, Ford, from Batavia for Salem, same place, condemned ship and cargo, said to be worth at least 100,000   Ship Wells, cargo at Gibraltar, condemned, said to have cost 30,000   Brig Hannah, Ropes at Halifax, vessel and cargo condemned, 30,000   Total, Dolls. 270,000 
Besides, the ship Henry, Russell captured in the India seas, carried to Bombay and Ceylon, detained 5 or 6 months, and finally released, the whole charges, to a considerable amount, being thrown upon the owners.
The ship George Washington, Daniels, captured on her passage from Calcutta, and carried to England, released, owners paying charges.
The ship Messenger, Buffum, bound to Europe, detained in England, released, and charges thrown upon the owner.
Several other Salem vessels have been stopped in the course of their voyages, and carried out of their way, and though finally restored, we believe in all cases the charges have been paid by the owners.
The fate of the Concord being uncertain, her case need not be stated.
If Salem has suffered so much in its trade during the last year, how much all our other commercial towns have suffered, we must leave to others better acquainted to determine. But we would respectfully suggest to the Printers of the United States, the propriety of collecting an accurate list of the captured vessels, and their value, and publishing the same for the information of the American public.
Nothing can be more ridiculous than to charge the projects of Miranda upon President Jefferson and the American administration, and then to publish the English accounts, in which the whole project is communicated to Mr. Pitt, the English Minister, and in which all the advantages to be proposed, and the evils to be avoided, in regard altogether to the sole point of English policy, are explained. We are told he promised Mr. Pitt with ten thousand men to reduce South America. That Mr. Pitt seemed to believe it, but he feared to weaken Spain, lest he should strengthen France. And when all these things are related as truths, to be admitted, the whole must, by equivocal expressions, be so told as to make the American Government responsible.—And the only plea for this conduct seems to be this. The American Government probably were discerning enough, not to be ignorant of what was doing in the world, as they were appointed the guardians of their nation, to see thro' the policy of all nations, and the intrigues which regard that part of the Globe of which they were the inhabitants, and they are not to be supposed strangers to their duty, or unfaithful in it. In any other political views, than such writers choose to take, much of eulogy and praise might be obtained from the part assigned to our government, which is now perverted into a cause of much abusive misrepresentation. By the prosecution, the Government has amply vindicated itself from any direct concern in the measures of Miranda. If the citizens of the United States were not concerned in the expedition, so much the better on that account. There is less to blame, and the government is freed from blame in every ineffectual attempt to fix blame in any of our citizens. If they who assisted Miranda did not know his designs, and they have shown no commissions from our government, where is the blame upon the one or the other? (Salem Reg.)
We continue to receive from the interior the warmest congratulations on the Anniversary of the 4th of July, upon the happy administration of our public affairs. Confidence is increasing, and the testimonies of gratitude are innumerable. The toasts commemorate the virtues and the services of the President, and express the public hopes in that great man.—Reg.
Among the toasts, in the Randolph Weekly Wanderer, as given at Montpelier, (Vt.) on the 4th of July last, was, "The President—Palsied be the tongues, that would increase the cares of government by calumniating its officers."
At the National Festival, on the 4th July, by the citizens of Erie, the following toast was given: "Thomas Jefferson, President of the U. States—The wisdom of his administration is sufficiently calculated to silence the opposition of all reasonable men, without the aid of appointing opposition men to office."

The Statistical tables of France given by Tineau, exhibit the following state of the population of the nation, in 1801. In the 102 departments, are above 3000 communes, containing a population of 33,000,000, exclusively of the departments of Piedmont, which have nearly 2 millions. The population of Old France is nearly 28,000,000. The acquisitions from Germany, including the Austrian Netherlands, had a population of 4,000,000, and with territory in Switzerland and Italy, together amounting to 5 millions. The whole then amounts to 35,000,000, without regard to Holland, Switzerland, Tuscany, and Cisalpine republic. The population of 500 towns is given at nearly 5 1-2 millions. Paris contains 546,858. Bordeaux, 112,844. Marseilles, 111,130, and Lyons, 109,500. The total amount of the revenues is given at 351 millions of francs, less than 11 francs for each inhabitant. Since the attention of France has been directed to its military character, the following is the collection made in the War Deposit, of which a periodical work is published. Exclusively of 8000 chosen volumes, among which is a valuable collection of atlases, of 2700 volumes of old archives, and 900 boxes of original documents, the deposit has 131 volumes, and 78 parcels of descriptive memoirs, containing at least 50 each, 4700 engraved maps, & of each from 2 to 25 copies, and above 7400 valuable manuscript maps, plans or drawings, of marches or battles, and feiges, &c. In the course of the war, by order of government, it has furnished 8,298 engraved maps, 207 manuscript maps or plans, 61 atlases, of various parts of the globe, and upwards of 600 descriptive memoirs. (Salem Register.)
For the GAZETTE. Messrs. Printers, In the Oracle of the 26th July, I noticed a curious piece, bearing the signature of "a good Republican,"—but if we may be permitted to judge from the style of his production, we shall conclude, that if he is a good anything, he must be in the language of the revolution, a good Tory. Speaking of those who met at Stratham on the 4th July to celebrate the anniversary of American Independence, he says, "a number of old men met to celebrate Independence," &c. Although I that old men, men who during the revolutionary war, were often found in arms, committing many high crimes and misdemeanors against the honor and dignity of the crown of Great Britain; that those men should pretend to meet to celebrate Independence, is 'inprising' indeed. I think the story even exceeds that of John Bull the clothier,—as if it were not enough for them to meet themselves, they must also invite the younger people, and thereby fill their minds with prejudice against the "glorious" government of Britain. O, shame on the immorality of the present age. "They met, says our "good republican," and the biggest part got home again the same night." You are a little wrong there, neighbor good republican, they got home before night. The bell, you say, was to ring at 5 o'clock—that is erroneous. Our bell, like the federalists in Stratham, is so insignificant that it could not be heard far, even though we jingle it with all our might. As to what you say about a gun's splitting, &c.—there was not a man of the company who had a gun with him, or who fired a gun during the day. Do Mr. good republican tell the undigested truth, and you will be heard with attention. The writer in the Oracle insinuates that he was one of the party, but no sir, no, that was not the case, for although there were more than forty of us, there was not a buffalo in the company;—He has likewise endeavored to revive the old federalist lie of the two millions, but its fallacy is so notorious that it is now disgusting even to a federalist. The Louisiana affair is also lugged in, in the usual style of a federalist—but the conspiracy of a federalist may be demonstrated by the following story:—At the time when Spain denied us the right of deposit at New Orleans, I was conversing with a federalist of note on the subject, who in very pointed language blamed the "puillanimous conduct of the executive," saying we ought to send an army immediately and take New Orleans and Louisiana, and not suffer such things from imbecile Spain. A month or two after, when news had arrived that we had purchased Louisiana, I was conversing with the same gentleman, who expressed himself in these words, "our President has given a number of millions of dollars for Louisiana, which we did not want any more than a cat wants two tails."—He would send an army, and thus commence a war with Spain and France, to take that which we did not want. O, federalism, where is thy shame!—Because our general court passed an act impaling upon us the repair of the bridge across Exeter river, shall we curse the birth-day of our Independence, and with ourselves again under the "just" government of Great Britain? We believe that many of the members of the general court who voted in favor of the act, were not thoroughly acquainted with the circumstances of the case. They, living in distant parts of the state, and conceiving the affair of the bridge to be of small consequence, had neglected to give it that attention which its importance deserved,—but we are confident that when they come candidly to investigate the matter, they will see the injustice of the measure, and repeal the obnoxious act. The majority of our general court are Republicans, and we are sure that true republicans, in matters with which they are thoroughly acquainted, will never sanction injustice in any instance or in any degree.—I shall only observe, that if our author is as jumping as his wonderful production, he will be obliged to "ride to the tavern," to celebrate Independence the very next year. RUSCICUS. Stratham, August 6, 1806.
Portsmouth, TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1806. FROM ENGLAND. The latest European intelligence is received by the Packet, from Liverpool, bringing papers of that city to the 3d, and London dates to the 1st July.
Rumors of peace were currently circulating in England at the above dates, but nothing sufficiently definite had transpired to afford rational grounds to believe that such an event would speedily take place.
Public curiosity has been highly excited in an affair of delicacy or rather indecency, in which the Princess of Wales is supposed to be one of the concern; the English prints are so extremely cautious in treating of this Royal foul peaux, that it is impossible to solve the incident from its mysterious envelopment.
The usual cant of great professional friendship towards America, and a wish for cordial and reciprocal advantages in the connection, is still held forth by the London editors; while whatever appears in the American prints on the subject of their nation, is sought after with great avidity by the English politician.
It appears that the influence of Bonaparte in Holland has accomplished all that the most ambitious adventurer could desire; and that Louis Napoleon, with a gorgeous train of pageants, priests and sycophants, has been received with enthusiasm into their country. Whatever may ultimately be the consequence of this important change in the government of Holland, we think the patriot and philanthropist may at least find consolation in the reflection—that the influence of the government of St. James is now completely eradicated from that country. Perhaps no greater curse can befall any people than to be under the influence of British interest; to be in league with England is a certain precursor of misery, and desolation—it is this influence which has checked the progress of general improvement, and promoted unnatural and civil wars which has drenched three quarters of the world in blood.
It is very generally conceded that the situation of the French people under Bonaparte is greatly ameliorated, contrasted with their government under Louis XVI. and have we not a rational hope that the same liberal system will be adopted towards those states and potentates which may be consolidated under the powerful and victorious arm of Bonaparte? (Bolton Democrat.)
According to the last accounts from England, not the least evidence appears that the measures of our Government have had a tendency to retard the purposes of negotiation and adjustment. The American nation stands as high as it ever did since it declared its independence.
The treatment of Mr. OSBORN, Editor of the Witness, a Republican Newspaper published at Litchfield in Connecticut, has excited general attention. The Federalists have a strong majority in that county and State, and possessing all the Judicial and other State and County authorities, appear determined to crush the Editor of that paper by flogs, whips, cudgels, actions, prosecutions, fines, imprisonment and close confinement in a dark, damp, noisome, pestilential dungeon, with maniacs and felons, to the certain injury of his health, and the probable risk of his life; while libels, of the most atrocious nature, against the public and private characters of their political opponents, are, from week to week published in their federal newspapers with impunity. While we compassionate the victim of their party vengeance, we trust that such violent one-sided justice, in that or any other country, or state, will prove to be as impolitic as it is barbarous and detestable.—Pittsfield Sun.
Sir William Berkley, when governor of Virginia in 1671, in a letter to the lords of the committee of the colonies, after stating that there were near 50,000 persons in the colony,—adds, "I thank God there are no free schools, nor printing, and I hope we shall not have them these hundred years—for learning has brought disobedience and heresy, and sets into the world, and printing has divulged them and libels against the government. God keep us from both!"
From the conduct of the Aristocrats of the present day, in waging war against the presses friendly to liberty &c. we may fairly infer that the sentiments of Berkley are still cherished by too many.—Trenton True Amer.
Report goes now, that one of Mr. Jefferson's Governors in the Western world, was to deliver up a state he did not command, to the Spaniards. We might expect to hear next, that Mr. Jefferson sent on orders to sacrifice young Austin, in State-street, Boston, in the open day. The excesses into which the malignity of party spirit betrays itself are incalculable. What next?—Surely nothing more extravagant, perhaps something new. Salem Register.

MR. WRIFORD, Writing Master, from Boston! A friend to merit, begs leave to remark, that Mr. WRIFORD, has taught the art of Writing, with uncommon celebrity in Boston, and some other capitals.—It is said, that pupils of common capacity, may be taught the accomplishment of an elegant hand in less than 2 months. Admitting this to be fact, of which no rational doubt can be entertained, shall it be argued, that the paltry difference, between common schools and an extra price, which possibly may be asked by this gentleman, ought to be any consideration at all?—parents may have children at school for 2 years; and they may not acquire a good hand writing, at 30 dollars expense. Mr. W's price is said, not to exceed 15 dollars, for the art of writing in its perfection; and that less than 60 lessons, shall complete any scholar. He may be spoken with at Mr. Payson's, No. 14, Market-street, where his terms will be made known. The testimonials which he has offered from the first characters in Boston, places him above those deceptive beings, who promise, and never perform. We are persuaded, that Mr. W. will punctually fulfil his engagements with the public; and that in case he should fail, that he will return the cash, if the fault has been his; for no man would with him, to be responsible for children's negligence, who will pay no attention to a Preceptor's mode of instruction.
The Season, is remarkably fine. The crops of English grain have been great tho' somewhat hurt.—English grass is light in this vicinity; but interval and meadow, it is thought will be as good, or better than usual.—The late copious rains have ensured against the drought heavy crops of Indian corn, and vegetables generally.—The pastures and mowed lands will be again covered with verdure, and man and beast be provided for abundantly.
"Praise the Lord O Jerusalem, praise thy God, O Zion: Who covereth the heavens with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains." (Keene paper.)
Among the farmers of Wilksbarre, and Kingstien, (Pennsylvania) a noble strife has arisen, which shall raise the most grain. In both towns are a number of farmers who have from 70 to 100 acres of English grain this season. The crops which they are now reaping are unusually fine and promise richly to reward the labor of the husbandman.
We hear that the Tunisian Ambassador will shortly embark in the ship Two-Brothers, Capt. Candler for Tunis, and that the U. S. brig Franklin, will accompany her as a store ship. Palladium.
Capt. GALE has pointedly contradicted the infamous report propagated from the southward some months since, of his having been stabbed by Commodore ROGERS; and adds, that the Commodore always behaved towards him with every attention and politeness due an officer.

From the Baltimore Evening Post. On a JAIL converted into a Meeting-House. IN words of sacred writ we're told, That once among the Jews of old, The house of God a den was made, Where thieves and lawyers drove their trade; Yet now we see a change as odd— A den for thieves turn'd house of God.
Extracts from an Oration delivered at Stratham, July 4, 1806.
"This day is, assuredly, one of the most eminently memorable in the annals of our country. It is a day which her genuine sons have long delighted to hail and to celebrate, as the birth-day of our public liberty—the birth-day of that public liberty, which was purchased by the blood of an illustrious list of undaunted heroes; and nurtured by the care of renowned Patriots and Statesmen."
"The anniversary that has this day returned, recognizes our national existence, our emancipation, our freedom, our independence. Yes, it revives the recollection of scenes that are, at once tender and interesting, vast and astonishing."
"I hail the Heroes and the Statesmen, who, to that mighty deed, could dare to affix their country's seal." On the tablet of your hearts, Americans, let their names remain inscribed while memory holds its empire there."
"Already this memorable event has been celebrated in ten thousand forms. Fathers have talked of it to their youthful, listening sons.—Saints have recognized it in their grateful orisons before the domestic altar. Christian preachers have delineated on it in the public assembly. Historians have recorded its wonders in their instructive pages. Orators have delineated its causes and effects in their polished periods.—and Soldiers, wounded soldiers, halting on the friendly crutch, or waving a ball-broken arm, have recited in the social circle, the efforts which achieved this glorious end."
"The return of this auspicious day, which recognizes the confirmed sovereignty and independence of FEDERAL AMERICA, has already awakened a variety of joyful emotions. You, my respected hearers, have shared the pleasures of this memorable occasion. In mutual gratulations, you have to day hailed and addressed one another."
"But, let no individual, for a moment, imagine that such sentimental effusions as these, include the whole duty of this smiling day.—To mutual felicitations, let us add patriotic affections. To patriotic affections, let us add God-exalting adorations.—So let us consecrate our liveliest gratitude to that Supreme Power, whose prerogative it is to plant and to pluck up, to build and to destroy the nations of the earth,"
* Meaning the Declaration of Independence.
Messrs. Printers. For the Gazette.
A petty scribler has lately appeared in public under the signature of a "good republican." The public are cautioned not to trust him under that name. He has never yet been esteemed, where he is known, a good federalist. His first and mighty work appeared in the Oracle of July 26, wherein he attempts, in the style of a droll, buffoon or merry-andrew, to level a number of his low-cunning jests at American Independence, a certain company who met in Stratham to commemorate it, the town in general, the Congress of the United States, and the French nation.
This master-piece of human composition wrecked the head of him and his neighbor simple, three days and three nights,—the mountain was in travel—Aeneas must be delivered of a huge collection of sulphureous combustibles from its burning entrails, or the earth must be torn from its centre and mountains hurled into the mighty waters.
This astonishing catastrophe was preluded by heart-rending omens—loud bellowing thunder, columns of livid flame, and rivers of burning lava. It burst and spread destruction all around. The surrounding village Stratham was the first victim of its relentless fury—the old men were suffocated with the smoke, and the young men were maimed, wounded, and broiled, by the explosion.
The village bell Ceas'd its delightful tune From morn 'till almost noon.— A mighty tale to tell.
The foundation of the State, (N. H.) was also shaken. The marble pillars thereof did tremble and the massy gates were broken in pieces. At Louisiana a shower of stones fell and destroyed all its delightful gardens and fruitful plantations; and as far off as the Floridas a small shock of an earthquake was sensibly felt.
But, unhappy for the nations of Europe, its raging conflagration did not cease here. When the great crater burst, (O shocking to relate—enough to fill the fondest heart with terror and amazement) all the kingdoms of Europe (except the highly favored and pious kingdom of Great-Britain) were shaken to the very centre. But, at the conclusion of this general destruction, all the nations were "emancipated" by paying tribute to France, except "proud Britain."
A sudden but less extensive eruption of the same Volcano was experienced on Monday the 17th of March last, about sun set, when the people of the village were collected in the church to transact their domestic business. There were some things very singular in this explosion. The noise issued from the first broad stair as we ascend to the pulpit, in a long, hollow, old-fashioned ministerial tone. This rumbling was not heard a great way off. Some of the villagers had a puff of ashes blown in their faces, and the Governor of the village had a huge lump of dirt thrown at him, but it did not adhere to, nor injure him in the least, although it went with great fury from the mouth of the great crater. But a particular account of this explosion cannot be given, it has always been withheld by the mountaineer.
N. B. The mountain is not yet entirely still, the sky is very thick and dark, with thunder, lightning and frequent concussions of the earth, and dreadful subterraneous bellowings.
A CITIZEN OF STRATHAM. I was at the prayer in the Portsmouth Oracle, dated Stratham, July 7th 1806 from the beginning to the end of the 4th period; and also the 1st period in which neighbor simple effected our author.
† Read from the 3d period, the most polished and pertinent of the whole, except the close of the last.
‡ Read from the 35th line and on.
§ Read from the 34th line and on.
¶ Read from the 22d line, and on. Here our learned author sharply rebukes his neighbor simple for want of knowledge in the great affairs of Europe.
The following is the opinion of a late ingenious writer, respecting the society called Quakers:—"What is familiar to us, excites little scrutiny or investigation; but the time may come when a wife legislature will condescend to enquire, by what means * a whole society (in both the old and new world) is made to act and think with uniformity, for upwards of a century; by what policy (without emoluments from government) they have become the only free people from poverty; by what policy and economy they have thus prevented beggary and want amongst their members, while the nations groan under the weight of taxes for the poor. They are an industrious, modest, intelligent, and virtuous people, animated with the most beneficial principles. They have a comprehensive charity to all mankind, and deny the mercies of God to none; they publicly aver that an universal liberty is due to all, are against impositions of every kind, though they patiently submit to many themselves, and are perhaps the only of all mankind, whose practice (as a body) correspond with their principles. N. Y. D. Adv."
* The means are merely negative—they avoid the follies and extravagance of other societies.
They have no Lawyers, No Soldiers, No Musicians, No Players, No Dancing masters, No Painters, No Jewellers.
Therefore they are saved from the quarrels, and ill-blood, and chicanery of law suits.
And the saving in the other articles is alone, sufficient to give them all the ascendancy in society which wealth brings—and the comforts and confidence which it secures. (Aurora.)
