Political Miscellany.
FROM THE BOSTON PATRIOT.
MR. ADAMS'
CORRESPONDENCE CONTINUED.
To the Printers of the Boston Patriot, Sirs.
In page 26, is a strain of flimsy rant, as silly as it is indecent. "The supplement to the declaration was a blameable excess." It waved the point of honor, which after two rejections of our ministers, required that the next mission, should proceed from France.
Where did he find this point of honor? If any such point had existed, it had its full force against the second mission: and its principal force consisted in the formal declaration of the directory, that it "never would receive another minister plenipotentiary without apologies for the pre-
sident's speeches, and answers to address." If we had a right to waive this point of honor in one instance, we had it in two, especially as one member of the second mission, was the same man who had been rejected in the first. But after the explicit retraction of the declaration that they would not receive a minister without apologies, the point of honor was completely done away. To give them an opportunity of retracting that declaration, I declared in my address to Congress, that I would not send another minister to France, till this declaration was retracted by assurances that he should be received in character. They embraced the opportunity cordially when they might have avoided the humiliation by sending a minister here.—And whatever Hamilton's opinion might be, I knew that they might have negotiated more to their advantage here than at Paris. Hamilton's fingers had not the tact, or tactility, if you like the word better, of the public pulse.
In page 27 he argues the probability that France would have sent a minister here from the fact that she did afterwards "till: her resentments, and invite the renewal of negotiation." I know not whether this is an example of Mr. Hamilton's "Analysis of Investigation" or not. It is an argument a Posteriori. It is reasoning upward or backward.
These invitations were not known, nor made, when I pledged myself, by implication at least, to send a minister, when such invitations should be made. When they were made I considered my own honor and the honor of the government committed. And I have not a doubt that Hamilton thought too: and that one of his principal vexations was that neither himself nor his privy counsellors could have influence enough with me to persuade or intimidate me to disgrace myself in the eyes of the people of America and the world, by violating my parole.
This he might think would assist him in his caucuses at New York and Philadelphia, where the honor, not only of every member, but of every State and every elector was to be pledged, to give an equal vote for Pinckney and Adams, that the choice of President should be left to the House of Representatives, whose members on the day of election, or day before, were to be furnished with this pamphlet, spick and spun, to make sure of the sacrifice of Adams. But more of this hereafter.
In the mean time what reasons had we to expect that the French Government would send a minister here? Such an idea had been whispered in private conversation perhaps, by Dr. Logan and some others; but we had not a color of official information to that effect, that I remember. What motives had the French to send a minister? They had committed depredations upon our commerce to the amount, it has been said, of twenty millions of dollars. Would the directory have been animated with any great zeal to send an ambassador to offer us compensation for these depredations at a time when they were driven to their wit's ends to find revenues and resources to carry on the war in Europe, and break the confederations against them.
We had declared the treaty of alliance and all treaties between France and the United States, null and void. Do we suppose the French government would have been in haste to send an ambassador to offer us a solemn revocation, by treaty, of all former treaties? What urgent motive could the French have to be in haste to send a minister? They would not be apprehensive that we should send an army to Europe to conquer France or assist her enemies. We had no naval power sufficient to combat their navy in Europe, which was then far from being reduced as it has been since. They had no commerce or mercantile navigation, upon which our little navy or privateers could have made reprisals.
There is but one motive that I can imagine should have stimulated them very much and that is, the apprehension that we might enter into an alliance offensive and defensive with Great Britain. This they might have considered as a seri us affair to them in a course of time, though they might not fear any very immediate arm from it. But I doubt not the French had information from a thousand com-

lities, and Tallyrand knew from personal observation in various parts of America, and Hamilton must have known, if he had any feeling of the popular pulse, that a vast majority of the people of America dreaded an alliance with Great Britain more than they did a war with France. It would have taken a long time, it would have required a long and bloody war with France, and a violent exasperation of the public mind to have reconciled the people to any such measure. No, Hamilton and his associates could not have seriously believed that the French would soon send a minister here. If they had not, or if they had delayed it, Hamilton would have continued at the head of his army—continual provocations and irritations would have taken place between the two nations, till one or the other would have declared war. In the mean time it was my opinion then, and has been ever since, that the two parties in the United States would have broken out into a civil war; a majority of all the States to the southward of Hudson river, united with nearly half New England, would have raised an army under Aaron Burr; a majority of New England might have raised another under Hamilton—Burr would have beat Hamilton to pieces, and what would have followed next, let the prophets foretell. But such would have been the result of Hamilton's "enterprises of great pith and moment."—I say this would probably have been the course and result of things, had a majority of New England continued to be attached to Hamilton, his men and measures. But I am far from believing this. On the contrary, had not our envoys proceeded, had not the people expected a peace with France from that negotiation, New England herself, at the elections of 1800, would have turned out Hamilton's whole party, and united with the southern or middle States in bringing in men who might have made peace on much less advantageous terms.
And now let the world judge who "confuted much"—who "pondered much"—who "resolved slowly"—and who "resolved surely."

Quincy, June 5, 1809.
LETTER
From the secretary of the navy to the chairman of the committee appointed on so much of the message of the president as relates to the military establishment, accompanying a bill concerning the naval establishment.
NAVY DEPARTMENT, June 9th, 1809.
Sir. I have received your letter of yesterday's date, and in reply have the honor to state:—
1st. That the cost of repairing each of the frigates now lying at the Navy Yard, Washington, cannot be estimated with any degree of precision until each frigate shall have been thoroughly examined in her hull, masts, spars, rigging, sails, water casks, &c. and the precise state of each particular ascertained. I some time since directed such examination to be made, and reported to me, but this has as yet only partially been done; and being apprehensive that some days may elapse before I shall have it in my power to afford satisfactory information upon this subject, I have supposed that in the mean time it would be agreeable to the committee, to receive information upon the other points of your letter, and therefore proceed to state:—
2dly. That the difference between keeping each of the public armed vessels in service for six months, from this time, and laying them up in ordinary immediately, circumstanced as they now are, their crews being generally in debt for advances of money and clothes made them, and their supplies of provisions, and in a great measure all the other supplies being now actually on board won't be from three to four months' pay to their respective crews—that is:
Dollars. For a 44 gun frigate about 17,000 36 — do — — — — 13,000 32 — do — — — — 12,000 16 — brig. — — — — 7,000 14 — schooner. — — — — 5,000.
In reply to your 3d query, requiring "a comparative statement of the building a gun on board a frigate and a gun boat," it is necessary to suppose a particular case. I will take the frigate President, mounting 56 guns, 42 pound carronades and 24 pound long cannon.
This frigate cost Dolls 220,910 3/4 — 17, 221,000. A gun boat, carrying 2 guns, will cost about, dollars, 9,000. The frigate will require 420 men to man her, and can be maintained in actual service, at an annual expense, less than 120,000 dollars, including the pay of officers and seamen, provisions, repairs, medicines, contingencies, and every other expense of every description. A gun boat mounting 1 or 2 guns, will require 45 men to man her, and cannot be maintained in actual service at an
expense less than 11,170, dollars including every expense. It hence results that the building of 19 gun boats each carrying 2 guns and carrying 38 guns in the whole, would cost more than the building of a frigate mounting 55 guns: that the building of 25 gun boats, each mounting 1 gun, would cost more than the building of a frigate mounting 56 guns: that the number of men required for a frigate mounting 56 guns would not be sufficient to man 10 gun boats, carrying, in the one case, 20 guns, in the other case, 10 guns; that to fight 56 guns, on board of 28 gun boats, would require 1260 men; and to fight them, dispersed in 51 gun boats, would require 2520 men; and that 2520 men employed on board of frigates, mounting each 56 guns, and each requiring 420 men can fight 336 guns, consisting of 42 pound carronades, and 24 pound long cannon.
With respect to the expense per gun, it appears that 56 guns mounted on board of a frigate, can be maintained at an annual expense less than 120,000 dollars; that the annual expense per gun, on board of a gun boat carrying two guns, will be 5,850; dollars and on board of a gun boat carrying one gun, 11,700 dollars per annum; that the difference between the annual expense of fighting 56 guns on board a frigate, and 28 gun boats, carrying 56 guns, is 207,000 dollars; and that the difference in the annual expense of fighting 56 guns on board a frigate, and 56 gun boats carrying each one gun, is 533,000 dollars.
The annual expense of keeping the gun boats (other than those now in service, and those yet on the stocks) in ordinary would be about 64,000 dollars.
As to the saving already made by laying up these boats in ordinary, it is impossible at this time precisely to ascertain it as the department is not informed of the day on which each boat was laid up. I can only, at this time, from a conjecture as to the amount, which is supposed to be equal to one month's pay to the crews discharged, that is about 18,000 dols.
I am, with great respect, &c. PAUL HAMILTON.
The Extra Session of Congress, as our readers will perceive by the journal of proceedings, was on Wednesday brought to a close. We have neither room nor time in this paper to dilate on most of the measures discussed or adopted. But we cannot refrain from congratulating the public, thus early on the harmonious issue of the deliberations connected with our foreign relations. It was to be expected that the preliminary measures taken by the Executive having so unequivocally obtained the approbation of the nation, would be received by the legislative body with a correspondent disposition. This expectation has not been disappointed. The leading features of accommodation with the British government have been affirmed without a dissenting voice; and what is, perhaps, still more gratifying, the details for carrying these measures into effect have been adopted by almost unprecedented majorities in both Houses. In the Senate the bill to amend and continue in force the act to interdict commercial intercourse between the United States and Great Britain and France, and their dependencies, was passed by an unanimous vote, in which every federal member in the senate participated. And in the House by the strong vote of seventy-two to fifteen. Of the seventy-two affirmative votes fourteen being federal, and of the fifteen negative votes, ten being federal.
It is not to be inferred, that there was no diversity of opinion with regard to the most advisable means of carrying the general arrangements of the government into operation. The fact is that there was considerable difference of opinion. But this difference was happily accompanied generally by a spirit of conciliation and accommodation. With respect to the admission or exclusion of the armed ships of foreign powers much variance existed. Some were for a total and permanent exclusion, unless admitted under treaty stipulation. Others were for the exclusion of English and French armed vessels until the next session of Congress. Some were for the admission of English and the exclusion of French vessels; and others for the admission of both. This last course has been pursued. It was probably principally recommended by a becoming solicitude, while the door of amity was about to be opened with Great Britain, to convince France that that circumstance, provided she ceased to violate our rights, would be no obstacle to an accommodation with her; and by the uncontroverted fact, that, although the affair of the Chesapeake be put aside as completely atoned for, (which, by the way, though promised, remains yet to be done) still the other indignities and violences committed by the English ships of war at least equalled those committed by the ships of war of France.
We trust that the period has at length arrived, when the impartial measures of a just government with respect to foreign powers will be upheld by honest men of all parties; or, in other words, that with respect to our foreign affairs, there will be no party. This demonstration of public opinion will probably be more instrumental in commanding the respect of those powers, and in securing our rights, than every thing else which it is in our power to do. The unwarrantable lengths to which party spirit has been extended has unquestionably produced a general impression abroad that our government cherished hostile feelings towards the belligerents, and that in resisting such a disposition there was a large body of our citizens ready to support the one or the other belligerent in the most unjust pretensions. The harmony, thus happily displayed, between the respective departments of the government must go far to remove this impression, and, with it, the unfounded hopes it has inspired.

An Austrian Messenger from Heligoland has brought a number of dispatches, papers, &c which present the affairs of Austria in a new point of view.
AUSTRIAN ARMY BULLETIN, No. 1.
H. Q. Sacile, April 17.
"On the 10th and 11th his Imperial Highness the Archduke John, with the army under his command, entered the territory of Frioul, by Porteba, Cividli (of Friul) and Goritz, and after some opposition, advanced on the 13th to the Tagliamento. The enemy retired across the river, in order to join with the troops in their rear. This junction, which probably took place at Sacile, made the hostile army five divisions strong. In the night of the 14th, his imperial Highness proceeded with the advanced guard towards Pordenone; the remainder of the army followed at day break. The enemy's advanced guard was at Pordenone, and his army was posted between that place and Sacile, near Fontana. In this situation an action commenced, which, after a sanguinary contest of two days, terminated entirely to our advantage. The vice King of Italy commanded the French army. The result was so decisive that the enemy could not maintain themselves behind the Livenza, but were obliged to retreat rapidly to the Piave. The Prisoners amount already to 6000, among whom are Generals Paze and Bressan—More are constantly brought in.—The loss in killed and wounded greatly exceeds this number, and we have taken 16 cannon and three eagles!"

Late and Important.
FROM PORTUGAL.
The Paragon has just arrived here from Lisbon, which she left the 7th June. The information by her, is, that Oporto had surrendered to the English and with it a French army of 25,000 men:—That the Austrians in Italy had obtained a complete victory over the French, who lost 25,000 men: That a considerable force of cavalry had arrived at Lisbon the 2d June; which proceeded immediately into the interior:—And that it was reported at Lisbon, that Russia had declared war against France. Our Portuguese papers by this arrival are to the 5th June.
FROM SPAIN.
Capt. Johnson, from Cadiz, has furnished Spanish (Seville) Gazettes to the 28th May. A short translation from one of them follows. Capt. J. understood, that one of the gazettes which he obtained, contained the Russian declaration of war against France, but that he gave it to a British Frigate, from which he was boarded.
Advices had been received in Lisbon, from Malta, stating that on the 16th April a severe battle was fought near the Tyrol between the Austrians and French.
TRANSLATIONS from the Extraordinary Gazette of Government.
SEVILLE, (Spain) MAY 27.
The Supreme Central Junta have received official advices from Trieste [a German port at the bottom of the gulph of Venice] dated April 20th, which state, that the Archduke John had beaten the French army of 50,000 under the command of the Vice King of Italy, (Beauharnais) at Sacile, Barra and Carliagnolo.
They have also received official advice through the same channel that RUSSIA HAD DECLARED IN FAVOR OF AUSTRIA, AND AGAINST FRANCE.
FURTHER AND STILL LATER ACCOUNTS FROM ENGLAND.
VIA HALIFAX.
"Halifax, June 30.—By an arrival at St. John's Newfoundland, we have been favored with the following summary extracts from a London paper of May 18, received at that place:—
ABSTRACT OF NEWS.
"London, May 18.—The German papers contain the 7th, 8th, and 9th Austrian official reports. These admit, that the French had in general the advantage, though not to the extent which their Bulletins have held out; and, if credit can be placed on subsequent intelligence, received via Hamburg, the Archduke Charles has been eminently successful. He is stated, after three days hard fighting, to have driven the enemy thirty miles back, and to have killed and taken upwards of 40,000 of their troops. And, in Italy the Archduke John is said to have gained, on the 15th and 16th ult. a decisive victory over the French, who lost 8,000 killed, and 10,000 wounded; 20 pieces of cannon and three Eagles, were taken. The Austrians lost 10,000 men, killed wounded and prisoners.
"Jerome Bonaparte has issued a proclamation, ordering the inhabitants of West Phalia, Hesse and Saxony, to be deprived of every offensive weapon—even of knives, forks, scythes, &c. &c. This augurs well!
"In Spain the cause of the patriots has assumed a more favorable aspect than for some time past. The French are constantly marching off a great part of their army for Italy.
"The French in Oporto, it is believed, wish to surrender to the British; and, from an intercepted letter from General Kellerman, it appears that, owing to the Austrian war he confiders the situation of the French in the whole of the Peninsula, as extremely critical.—The French General Loison was killed in the streets of Oporto, by some Portuguese soldiers.
"A messenger with dispatches from the Spanish Deputies arrived in town this morning. On the 21st ult. it was publicly notified at Seville, that a division of the Spanish army had taken possession of Alcantara, which had been previously evacuated by the enemy.
"By an official dispatch from the Austrian General Taxis we learn, that the inhabitants of the Tyrol have, with the utmost enthusiasm, risen in favor of Austria, and have defeated the Bavarian troops in several engagements. Two Generals and about 12,000 Bavarians, have been taken prisoners."
The following were the positions of the French and Austrians at the date of the last accounts:—
Position of the French Armies.
Bonaparte on the Salza at Burghausen; the Dukes of Dantzig's, Montebello's, Rivoli's, and Istria's divisions on the right bank of the Inn; the Bavarians under General Wrede form the advanced guard, and are at Laufen and Salzburg.—A French division is marching to the Tyrol; the Duke of Auerstadt and Massena are on the north bank of the Danube proceeding to the Palatinate; Bernadotte, with the Saxons, in marching to the frontiers of Bohemia. In Italy the French occupy the right bank of the Piava. A division under Gen. St. Hilaire is marching to the Italian post of the Tyrol.
Position of the Austrian Armies.
General Hilleg's army line the left bank of the Trann, and the Emperor of Austria is at Lintz.—The Marquis de Castelbar, is in the Tyrol with his division, and Gen. Jelacic, is in the northern part of the Bishopric of Salzburg. The Archduke Charles is on the Regen, at Cham. The Archduke Ferdinand was at Warsaw. The Archduke John occupies the left bank of the Piava.
GERMANY. Vienna, April, 12, 1809.
The news from Moldavia proves the union between France and Russia. The Congress which has been held at Yassy, between the Russian and Turkish negotiators has broken up. At the first meeting the Russian Minister demanded, That the British Minister should be ordered to quit Constantinople; that all British merchandise in Turkey should be seized; and that the Ottoman Porte should cede to Russia, the provinces of Transylvania, Moldavia, Wallakia, and Bessarabia; thereby making the Danube the great natural boundary of the two Empires. Ministers of the Porte, stated, that they had no instructions to comply with these demands, and the Congress broke up. Immediately after the Russian Generals put their forces on the Danube in activity.—This is a French account; and a later one, states, that the War between Russia and Turkey had recommenced. If this account be true, it does away the report of Russia having declared in favor of Austria.
ARISTIDES...NO. III.
For the N. H. GAZETTE.
To the Citizens of New Hampshire
The Oracle man, mentioned in my former numbers, asserts that Mr. Evans "has no one qualification either of abilities, character, or public confidence" for the office of judge. This writer having so often substituted assertion for proof, attempts to give the biography of Mr. Evans in evidence of his unqualified declaration. 'Tis an imperfect scrawl of biography; but that part of it which is founded in truth, reflects no disgrace upon Mr. Evans, or discredit on the Executive who appointed him to office—Let us examine it. We are told, "Mr. Evans is a young man." The terms, young and old, are comparative, and do not convey a precise or definite idea. And from the sentence quoted, no man can tell when Mr. Evans was born, or whether he is now twenty, thirty, or forty years of age, either of which, when contrasted with a man of eighty, would justify the declaration, that the judge is a young man. The constitution doth not prohibit a young man from being a judge; but it peremptorily declares an old man that is one of seventy years, absolutely disqualified for that office. And it is laid, in a later book, of higher authority than wisdom doth not always dwell with grey hairs, "neither doth the aged understand judgment." Judge Evans is near midway between thirty and forty years of age, a period of life, in which the corporeal powers and mental faculties of man, are both in full vigour. At that period of life, a man is, it is ever, animated with the ambition of acquiring real greatness, by being useful to society. The youth of the judge, is not an objection to, but an argument in favor of the appointment. Observing men can cite instances of those, who have been raised, in advanced age to the bench, at the expence of that reputation which they acquired in earlier life.
This writer says, Mr. Evans "until four or five years ago, was a retail shop keeper in Portsmouth—in this business he did not succeed; neither himself, nor his orphan brothers and sisters, whose guardian he was, were enriched by his merchandizing. If he is known in any of the American cities, or elsewhere out of New Hampshire, it is in the character of a bankrupt." Admitting this statement to be literally true, there is nothing in it that can detract from Mr. Evans talents or character. It is not in manuals to command success, though they may deserve it. We are taught that "the battle is not to the strong, or the race to the swift, or riches to men of understanding. Wealth cannot be a man for office, or poverty disqualify him. The poor man may possess all the talents and integrity requisite for offices of high trust, while his wealthy effeminate neighbor, who lives in luxury and ease, may be destitute of every necessary qualification. It is indeed to be lamented, that offices are sometimes given to men for their wealth, not their talents or virtues. Wealth maketh many friends, but the poor is separated from his neighbor—So true it is, that
Slow rises worth by poverty depress'd,
In the State governments, offices have not been exclusively given to the rich; and I do not recollect that they have been reproached on that account. In a neighboring State, a bankrupt has recently been elevated to the office of judge of their Supreme Court. And, even in New Hampshire, the profession of poverty had an influence with a former legislature, in raising the salary of an individual judge. That same profession, it is said, aided a federalist to procure the office of Sheriff. Honorable to the accused, is the declaration of an enemy, when he bears testimony to his virtues. And this malignant writer is compelled to say of Judge Evans, that his failure in trade, neither enriched himself or his relatives. Like too many failing men, he did not acquire wealth by concealing his property from his creditors. If the honesty and integrity of Judge Evans, in the hour of adversity, in the time of severe trial, stands unimpeached by an accuser of the brethren, can you have a surer pledge of his integrity in more prosperous times?
This writer seems to admit that Mr. Evans failure in commerce is to be considered as his misfortune not his fault; but he adds, "at any rate, it was not a coarse of life likely to qualify him to be a judge." I see no reason why a merchant or shopkeeper cannot carry on the business of trade; and yet acquire a competent knowledge of jurisprudence. The business of trade and a knowledge of law are not incompatible. I know there are merchants and retail shopkeepers, both of those who succeed and of those who fail, whose knowledge is limited to the yard stick, the counter and the ledger. But there are men who consider their ledger as their bible and gain their God, or, who devote a large portion of their time to disposition. Short as is the period of human life, a man of industry may do much business, and at the same time acquire much knowledge on subjects not connected with his business. Judge Evans is not a man of pleasure—his time has not been wasted in dissipation; but his hours have been marked with great industry and unremitted application. He has acquired more knowledge of the principles of law than many of the gentlemen of the green bag possess.
The Oracle writer says, Mr. Evans "delivered a fourth of July oration—that his friends thought it was ingenious and eloquent—probably it was so." I admit that the composing and delivering of an ingenious and eloquent oration is not a requisite qualification for a judge; but surely it does not disqualify a man for that office. That writer himself has the credit of delivering a fourth of July oration; but this is no crime. His friends say it was both ingenious and eloquent and I am not disposed to deny it—though many of those productions are destitute of both, and detract from the literature and science of our country.
We are told, that Mr. Evans was a member of the State legislature, from Portsmouth, for the last five years. To hold the office of legislator from the capital of the State during five annual elections, is at least evidence that Mr. Evans's townsmen, the place where he is best known in, consider him as a man of talents, knowledge and prudence. His upright conduct in the legislature—his prompt and constant attention to business, has been witnessed by thousands. During that term, perhaps no man in the legislature, displayed so much talents, or acquired so much real influence. While sedulously employed in legislation, his knowledge of the principles of law, often peered out. And it is singular, that the man capable of making laws, should possess no one qualification to judge of those laws. And yet this writer affirms, believe it who can, that "perhaps no

man in the State is more unsuitable for the office of judge of the superior court than Mr. Evans."
You are told that Mr. Evans "never had any original education." I do not know what precise idea that writer meant to convey by the term original . I have been in the habit with Johnson, of considering it as "primitive, pristine, first." This writer in another place, says Mr. Evans is a young man , he could not therefore have a very ancient education: That he is now a good scholar, and his manners correct, is not denied, and it is immaterial when or how he obtained his education; but that he has had a degree from a college is not pretended. I esteem a collegiate education; but, 'tis a fact, that many self-taught men are much better qualified to be judges, than many who have spent four years within the walls of a college. A young man may obtain a diploma, and know very little of books, and still less, either of law or the world.
It is not true that "Mr. Evans knows nothing of the law, either by reading or experience." He has read and acquired much knowledge of the law—and, before many witnesses, he gave pecuniary evidence of this knowledge, as well as talents and eloquence, in his able defence at several terms of the superior court, where alone he defended an important suit brought against him—and in which he was opposed by the greatest talents then at the New Hampshire bar, countenanced by almost every twig of the profession.
But the writer adds, "Mr. Evans never had the means of knowing the law." Living in Portsmouth, law books were at his command, and he obtained and read them with first attention. But the fact is, he did not read them in a lawyer's office—he never had a vote of the associated bar to permit him to read. And without that permission how could he read, how could he permissum how could he read, passing indiscriminately on lawyers—some of them are honest and useful members of society; but they arrogate too much to themselves if they say no man is qualified for a judge who has not read law in one of their offices. Like the members of a particular religious sect, who exclaim, none are orthodox but ourselves —none can find the way to Heaven but those who follow us. Within twenty years we have had John Duddley, Josiah Bartlet, Woodbury Langdon, Timothy Farrar and Payne Wingate, as judges of our superior court; neither of whom were educated lawyers. During that same time a greater number of lawyers were judges on the same bench; but no man can name five of the latter, who possessed more talents and integrity, or administered justice more substantially, or gave more general satisfaction to the people, than the judges first named. Real justice, the end for which laws were made, and courts instituted, were obtained. The merits of suits were not sacrificed to forms, to quirks, and to the subtleties of nice distinctions. And from those judges, your ears were not then continually assailed with the cry, give, give—raise our salaries, or we will resign . The ears of your legislature were not then dinned, with labored arguments, from a low governor , to prove that twenty years hard study was requisite to qualify a man for the judicial office—and that to obtain such men they must give high salaries , and tax the laboring poor to pay them. If this doctrine be true, in what predicament are your jurors, who are not the simple criers of fact, but are sworn to decide both the law and the fact and that without twenty years hard study? are they implicitly to receive the opinion of the judges for law? then their oath ought to be changed, so as to read "according to the court and the evidence." One would think from the number of verdicts recently set aside by the judges that this doctrine was countenanced—and that the invaluable privilege trial by jury , is to be reduced to simply finding the fact . But what are jurors to do when judges disagree , as sometimes they do, as to what is law ? In this enlightened age, can it be true, that twenty years hard study, except of dunces , is requisite to enable a man to administer justice upon laws emanating from yourselves? If the doctrine be well founded, your general courts have criminally neglected their duty—your laws require a thorough reform. But it is not true—it is a libel upon your government and your laws.
July 7, 1809. ARISTIDES.
To the editor of the New Hampshire Gazette. SIR.
The Oration on war delivered at the Assembly-room by Mr. Ogilvie, on Thursday evening, received the applause of a numerous audience. I doubt whether that room ever contained a more elegant re-union of beautiful women or genteel company. It is the good fortune of Mr. O's performances to be thus universally graced. Had they no other attraction they would disarm the critic and allure success to the orator. I would however suggest that in assigning the origin of war Mr. O. mistook the eff. & the cause . The comprehension and effectual application of mine and thine were, in fact, the direct primitive progenitors of this calamity and the necessary result of the union of men in society. The savage fights for his hunting ground, the barbarian for plunder , the civilized people to defend or extend their riches, territories and splendor.
The fanciful manner in which Mr. O. treated his subject seems to show a marked predilection for declamatory flights: the sallies of his undisciplined imagination, often carry him beyond the bounds of rhetorical entrenchments, where the substantial force of the ethical orator must either be lost, or take an ignominious refuge under the protection of his logical batteries .
Mr. Ogilvie adapted to his oration on war the second part of the discourse he delivered, last, in Boston on the progress of society and the human understanding (I may not be exact in the title) and if my memory serves me right, not a phrase, not a word, were changed in this repetition. Although self plagiarism is in some respects exceptionable in the author that sells his book, or the orator that sells his oration, the public cannot reasonably blame Mr. O. to retail in Portsmouth the mental productions of his residence in Boston, the new Athens of America —considered republics. The historians inform us that the air that wafted over the territory was never breathed with purity by man nor beast. I have read where that an air of Athens might have pervaded the list of candidates for a sit in a lotian acad-my . But as Bee is contained in a fountain of Hypocrene , mount Parnassus , and produced Pindar , Plutarch and Hesiod , I am inclined to think that the humorous Greek satirist meant only to lift the Bee .
tians for their want of good manners, and their wanton coarseness.
I shall not enter into the merits of Mr. Ogilvie's composition nor question the infallibility of his political prophecies as it respects the fate of both the French people and their Emperor. Like Mr. O. I rest my hopes on the justice of the Supreme Ruler. His sovereign wisdom directeth all things. I would merely observe that Mr. O. being the son of an esteemed British poet, he may have inherited the right of using poetical licences: Besides his being born and educated a British subject may also have tainted his universal philanthropy with the native prejudices and national hatred his countrymen systematically cherish for the French nation.—All this is natural. The Carthaginians' first instructions to their children were to hate the Romans and these never awakened from their slumbers without having Delenda est Carthago for their first thought. The portraiture of British policy, ambition and cruelty might as well be drawn with equal fancy, truth and candor by
A FRENCHMAN.
Portsmouth.
TUESDAY, JULY 18, 1809.
The reported news, by recent foreign arrivals, comes in such various and questionable shapes, that to give the whole details which have reached us, would but render confusion worse confounded, and afford our readers little information of the real state of facts on the theatre of war in Europe. We have given a few prominent extracts, but even some of them too absurd for belief. We prefer giving a few facts to many marvellous reports.
A letter from Lisbon, May 27th, says, "There are upwards of 40 transports in the Tago, in readiness to take off the British troops. There have been bloody battles near Oporto. The French army has been cut to pieces; some say to the amount of 100,000, some 20,000, and some more."
At the battle of Ratisbon, Melfena, Lefebvre and Davoust commanded the right, centre and left of the French army. The Emperor directed the whole. Berthier, Savary and Duroc assisted him.
The French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Champagny, has followed Napoleon into Germany.
A private letter from Paris of May 2, states, that Bonaparte has expressed great wrath against Mr. Madison's administration, on account of the partial raising the Embargo—and in an audience given Mr. Armstrong, used expressions not very amicable and civil to the representative of an independent and friendly nation—Pol. Reg.
A mutiny lately took place among the troops at Cayenne, on account of arrearages of pay—After much threatening &c a tax was laid, the wages paid, and tranquillity was restored.
On the 4th the new fort erected on Governor's Island in Boston harbor, was named Fort Warren under a discharge of a federal salute of 17 guns.
Appointment.—The President has appointed Ninian Edwards Esq. to the Governor of the Illinois territory.
Fulwar Skipwith, Esq. late Col. Gen. in France, has arrived at Philadelphia.
LEDWARD, the celebrated traveller who was a citizen of Connecticut was sent by Captain Cook to explore a river on the coast of Kamtschatka. He embarked in a canoe, with only three companions. These were the Bible, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and a bottle of brandy.
Four of the students in William and Mary College (Vir.) viz. William Rives, Augustine Smith, Richard Pollard and Henry Skipwith, have been forever expelled the college, for being concerned in a duel; the two first as principals, the other two as seconds.
A subscription has been opened at Philadelphia, for the relief of the unfortunate exiles from the island of Cuba, which produced upwards of 3000 dollars. This tribute to humanity is highly honorable to the character of the Philadelphians. These wretched people have been driven from their homes, from their all, by the political changes which have taken place in that island—their imputed crime, being Frenchmen —they have arrived in various parts of the United States, destitute and forlorn, without friends, without resources. While we deprecate the introduction of so many foreigners, who in time may become the instruments of their parent country for our annoyance, we cannot withhold the tribute of praise to the philanthropy of our countrymen, in administering to their necessities.
Locusts.—An account from Fougnekeepsie, N. Y. lays—"Our fields, our orchards, and our woodlands now swarm with locusts, and indeed wherever trees are to be found, there they resort—but in the woods they are most numerous. There are various kinds of this insect. Those which now make their appearance seldom visit us. All we know of this species is, that in 1792 they were very numerous in this state and in New-Jersey—whether in the other states or not we cannot say. It is said they visited us in 1775—if so their period of return is 17 years. In 1792 they made their first appearance about the 20th May, and were all dead by the 5th of July—a space of six weeks."
At Nazareth, in Northampton county, (Penn.) the locusts have made their appearance in great numbers. The ground is perforated in thousands of holes. The din of them is said to be really deafening.
The Corporation of the Borough of Norfolk, (Vir.) have prohibited the introduction of the small-pox, by inoculation, and strongly recommended vaccination.
A Newton (Vir.) paper states, "that a Hoop Snake , or as some call it a Horn Snake , had been killed near that place—a reptile which is said to coil itself up like a hoop and go with such swiftness as to strike its horn a considerable distance even into a tree which it is so poisonous as immediately to kill."
The farmers in Virginia substitute the file instead of the whetstone, for sharpening their scythes. It is said to give a much more suitable edge, for cutting straw, and once whetting, with it is equal to three or four times in the common way, after the first grinding.
The U. S. Bank, to meet the loan to government of 8,000,000 dollars, has been necessitated to check its discounts.
Perpetual Motion.—On Monday morning next, at the court house in Lexington Henry Frink proposes to exhibit the model, and explain the principles of perpetual motion discovered by him, which will tend to remove every doubt of its success from the minds of those who may think proper to attend. [Kentucky paper]
The house of Mr. Stephen McLellan, of Portland, was struck by lightning on the 29th ult. but received no considerable injury. Several cattle were killed by lightning at Atkinson, the 29th ult.
COMMUNICATIONS VERMONT BILLS.
Mr. Weeks.—I was amused a few days since, at hearing the following question and answer:
Why are the Vermont State Bank Bills again cried down?
Answer.—In the first place, not because the banks in that State ever refused payment of their bills on demand:—But, secondly, because it is the policy of stock holders in the various banks in this state and Massachusetts to raise a hue and cry against the bills of that State, and refuse them as deposits during the session of the General Court, to prejudice the minds of members against establishing a State Bank, either in this State or Massachusetts; and to make the public believe that the bills of State Banks have no more safety attached to them than those of a private Bank—when in fact, the resources of the State are pledged for their redemption. There are no bills to date as above of the United States and State Banks, and unless the U. S. States speedily extend branches of their bank into the principal seaports of each State, then each individual State ought in justice to its own inhabitants, to establish State Banks and Branches, and make their bills a lawful tender in payment of all accounts and demands; then the poor man who pays but one dollar tax, would reap a proportionate advantage, with the man who pays one hundred dollars. This would also put a stop to the speculation and twirling dower practiced, not only by stockholders and brokers, but by almost every private bank in existence. I mean particularly the mode of discounting and receiving payment of notes,—viz. When a note is discounted the person applies to the bank for his money; he has it handed to him, as the saying is "all cut and dried," in the most doubtful, worn out, foreign money there is in the bank, with not one of their own bills to be found in the whole packet. The person objects to the bills, the answer is returned in short meter from the cashier, "you must take them or none." The man has promised the money—is obliged to pocket the imposition—lose 2 or 3 per cent. on the bills to get them exchanged for better; finally sixty days elapses, and he is called upon by the bank to pay in his note. He carries such money as he received from the bank. They will not touch it, unless he allows them two or three per cent. in addition to the 8 per cent. interest, or bring them specie. He is threatened that he shall never have another note discounted there, and they will immediately call on his endorsers for payment &c &c &c !!!
I leave these observations with the public; with asking if such conduct ought to be approbated or winked at by our general court; and 2dly are not the banks of this state now progressing by such conduct nearly in the Rebs of the Farmers Exchange bank! which has cheated the public out of more than 700,000 dollars! when if this bank had been a state bank they would have been obliged to have redeemed every bill, and the public in this case would not have suffered.
We have too many bank stockholders in our Legislature, to do what would be for the interest of the State as it respects banks; and it is to be hoped this great, this crying, notorious evil will be remedied another year, by every town whose representative voted at the late session of the general court against a State Bank , by giving such representative or senator leave to retire to the black shades of a private bank vault.
GENERAL GOOD.
On Friday last, the scholars under the tuition of Miss SERENA PARKER JOHNSON, underwent a thorough examination before a respectable audience, and it was adjudged that their improvement in reading, writing, orthography, grammar and needlework, was highly honorable both to the instructress and her pupils. The parents of the children present, were highly gratified, and peculiarly pleased with Miss Johnson's manner of instruction, especially with her thorough knowledge of the English grammar so as to instruct in the science of parsing, more correctly than any other female instructor in Portsmouth.
We understand Miss JOHNSON's second quarter commences this day.

The advantages of this novel scheme as it respects the prize of 25000 to be paid with 500 Tickets must be obvious, as in these may be contained not only the highest prize, but many other and possibly all the capital prizes of the Lottery. It will we presume excite much interest in adventure, and insure a rapid sale of the Tickets. The Managers will continue to observe the most rigid punctuality in their engagements, and the success they have met with in the two former classes, induces them to hope that the object of the Lottery will soon be attained.
