Article 2. It is earnestly recom-mended to all officers and soldiers diligent-ly to attend divine service; and all officers who shall behave indecently or irreverently at any place of divine worship shall, if commissioned officers, be brought before a general court martial, there to be publicly and se-verely reprimanded by the president; if non-commissioned officers or soldiers every person so offending shall, for his first offence, forfeit one sixth of a dollar, to be deducted out of his next pay; for the second offence, he shall not only forfeit a like sum, but be confined twenty-four hours; and for every like offence shall suffer and pay in like manner; which money, so forfeited, shall be applied by the captain or sen-ior officer of the troop or company to the use of the sick soldiers of the com-pany or troop to which the offender belongs.
Article 3. Any non-commissioned officer or soldier who shall use any profane oath or execration shall incur the penalties expressed in the foregoing article, and a commissioned officer shall forfeit and pay for each and every of-fence, one dollar, to be applied as in the preceding article.
Article 4. Every chaplain commis-sioned in the army or armies of the United States, who shall absent him-self from the duties assigned him (ex-cept in cases of sickness or leave of ab-sence) shall on conviction thereof be-fore a court martial, be fined not ex-ceeding one month's pay, besides the loss of his pay during his absence; or be discharged, as the said court mar-tial shall judge proper.
Art. 5. Any officer or soldier who shall use contemptuous or disrespectful words against the President of the United States, against the Vice-Presi-dent thereof, against the Congress of the United States, or against the chief magistrate or legislature of any of the United States in which he may be quartered, if a commissioned officer, shall be cashiered, or otherwise pun-ished as a court martial shall direct; if a non-commissioned officer or sol-dier, he shall suffer such punishment as shall be inflicted on him by the sen-tence of a court martial.
Art. 6. Any officer or soldier who shall behave himself with contempt or disrespect towards his commanding officer, shall be punished according to the nature of his offence, by the judg-ment of a court martial.
Art. 7. Any officer or soldier who shall begin, excite, cause or join in any mutiny or sedition in any troop or company in the service of the United States, or in any party, post, detach-ment or guard, shall suffer death, or such other punishment as by a court martial shall be inflicted.
Art. 8. Any officer, non commis-sioned officer or soldier, who, being present at any mutiny or sedition, does not use his utmost endeavor to suppress the same, or coming to the knowledge of any intended mutiny, does not without delay, give informa-tion thereof to his commanding of-ficer, shall be punished by the sentence of a court martial with death or oth-erwise, according to the nature of his offence.
Art. 9. Any officer or soldier who shall strike his superior officer or draw or lift up any weapon, or offer any violence against him, being in the ex-ecution of his office, on any pretence whatsoever, or shall disobey any law-ful command of his superior officer, shall suffer death, or such other pun-ishment as shall, according to the na-ture of his offence, be inflicted upon him by the sentence of a court mar-tial.
Article 10. Every non-commissioned of-ficer, or soldier, who shall insist himself in the service of the United States, shall, at the time of his so enlisting, or within six days afterwards, have the articles for the government of the armies of the United States, read to him, and shall by the officer who enlisted him, or by the commanding officer of the troop or company into which he was enlisted, be taken before the next jus-tice of the peace, or chief magistrate of any city, or town corporate, not being an officer of the army, or where recourse cannot be had to the civil magistrate, before the judge advocate, and, in his presence, shall take the following oath or affirmation: "I, A. B. do solemnly swear, or affirm, (as the case may be) that I will bear true allegiance to the United States of America, and that I will serve them honestly and faithfully a-gainst all their enemies, or upholders, what-soever, and observe and obey the orders of the President of the United States, and the orders of the officers appointed over me, ac-cording to the rules and articles for the gov-ernment of the armies of the United States."

S. or by sen-tence of a general court martial.
Article 12. Every colonel or other of-ficer commanding a regiment, troop, or com-pany, and actually quartered with it, may give furloughs to non commissioned officers, or soldiers, in such numbers, and for so long a time as he shall judge to be most consis-tent with the good of the service; and a cap-tain or other inferior officer commanding a troop or company, or in any garrison, fort or barracks of the U. S. (his field officer be-ing absent,) may give furloughs to non-com-missioned officers or soldiers, for a time not exceeding twenty days in six months, but not to more than two persons to be absent at the same time, excepting some extraor-di-nary occasion should require it.
Article 13. At every muster, the com-manding officer of each regiment, troop, or company there present, shall give to the commissary of musters, or other officer who musters the said regiment, troop, or com-pany, certificates signed by himself, signi-fying how long such officers, as shall not ap-pear at the said muster, have been absent, and the reason of their absence. In like manner, the commanding officer of every troop, or company, shall give certificates, signifying the reasons of the absence of the non-commissioned officers and private sol-diers, which reasons, and time of absence, shall be inserted in the muster rolls, oppo-site the name of the respective absent of-ficers and soldiers. The certificates shall, to-gether with the muster-rolls, be submitted by the commissary of musters, or other of-ficer mustering, to the department of war as speedily as the distance of the place will ad-mit.

Article 16. Any commissary of musters or other officer, who shall be convicted of having taken money or other thing by way of gratification, on the mustering any regi-ment, troop or company, or on the signing muster-rolls, shall be displaced from his of-fice, and shall be thereby utterly disabled to have or hold any office or employment in the service of the United States.
Article 17. Any officer who shall pre-sume to muster a person as a soldier, who is not a soldier, shall be deemed guilty of hav-ing made a false muster, and shall suffer ac-cordingly.
Article 18.

Article 19. The commanding officer of every regiment, troop, or independent com-pany, or garrison of the United States, shall, in the beginning of every month, remit through the proper channels, to the depart-ment of war, an exact return of the regi-ment, troop, independent company, or gar-rison, under his command, specifying the names of the officers then absent from their posts, and the reasons for, and the time of
their absence and any officer who shall be convicted of having, through neglect or de-sign, omitted sending such returns, shall be punished according to the nature of his crime, by the judgment of a general court martial.

No non-commissioned officer or soldier, shall insist himself in any other regiment, troop, or company, without a reg-ular discharge from the regiment, troop, or company in which he last served, on the penalty of being reputed a deserter, and suf-fering accordingly. And in case any officer shall knowingly receive and entertain such non-commissioned officer or soldier, or shall not after his being discovered to be a deser-ter, immediately confine him and give notice thereof to the corps in which he last served, the said officer shall by a court martial be cashiered.
Article 23. Any officer or soldier who shall be convicted of having advised or per-suaded any other officer or soldier, to desert the service of the U. S. shall suffer death, or such other punishment as shall be inflict-ed upon him by the sentence of a court mar-tial.
Article 24. No officer or soldier shall use any reproachful or provoking speeches or gestures to another, upon pain, if an of-ficer, of being put in arrest; if a soldier, con-fined, and of taking pardon of the party of-fended, in the presence of his commanding officer.

Article 26.

And it shall be the duty of every officer, commanding an army, regiment, company, post or detachment, who is knowing to a challenge being given, or accepted, by any officer, non commissioned officer, or soldier, under his command, or has reason to believe the same to be the case, immediately to ar-rest and bring to trial such offenders.
Article 27. All officers, of what condi-tion soever, have power to part and quell all quarrels, frays and disorders, though the per-sons concerned should belong to another regiment, troop or company; and either to order officers into arrest, or non commission-ed officers or soldiers into confinement, un-til their proper superior officers shall be ac-quainted therewith; and whosoever shall re-fuse to obey such officer (though of an infe-rior rank) or shall draw his sword upon him, shall be punished at the discretion of a gen-eral court martial.
Article 28. Any officer or soldier, who shall upbraid another for refusing a chal-lenge, shall himself be punished as a chal-lenger; and all officers and soldiers are here-by discharged from any disgrace or opinion of disadvantage, which might arise from their having refused to accept of challenges, as they will only have acted in obedience to the laws, and done their duty as good soldiers, who subject themselves to discipline.
Article 29. No soldier shall be permit-ted to sell any kind of liquors or victuals, or to keep their houses or shops open for the en-tertaining of soldiers, after nine at night, or before the beating of the reveilles, or on Sundays, during divine service or sermon, on the penalty of being dismissed from all future service.
Article 30.

Article 32.

S. he, the said command-er, who shall refuse or omit to see justice done to the offender or offenders, and repa-ration made to the party or parties injured, as far as part of the offender's pay shall ena-

Foreign Intelligence.
PARIS, JUNE 6. FRANCE and HOLLAND.
The following is a copy of the Treaty between France and Holland, by which the change in the Government of the latter has been effected, without the unmeaning ceremony of submitting a system of Government for the decision of an ignorant, and almost always a misguided People.—It demonstrates the wisdom and penetration of our august Emperor; and the care he exercises over every thing which can influence the glory and destiny of his stupendous empire:—
THE TREATY.
His Imperial and Royal Majesty Napoleon, Emperor of the French and King of Italy, and the Assembly of their High Mightinesses the Representatives of the Batavian Republic, presided by his Excellency the Grand Pensionary, accompanied by the Council of State, the Ministers, and Secretary of State, Considering,
1st. That from the prevailing turn of mind and the actual organization of Europe, a Government with local fidelity and certain duration, cannot fulfil the objects for which it is instituted;—
2d. That the periodical renewal of the head of the State would always be a source of dissention in Holland and a constant subject of agitation and disagreement among the powers friendly or inimical to Holland.
3d. That an hereditary Government can alone secure the quiet possession of all which is dear to the Dutch people, the free exercise of their religion, the preservation of their laws, their political independence and civil liberty.
4th. That its first duty is to secure to itself a powerful protection, under the shelter of which it may freely exercise its industry, and maintain itself in the possession of its territory, its commerce and its colonies.
5th. That France is essentially interested in the happiness of the Dutch people, in the prosperity of the State, in the permanence of its institutions, as well in consideration of the northern frontiers of the Empire, open and unfortified, as from general political interests and principles:—Have nominated for their ministers plenipotentiary,
His Majesty the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, Charles Maurice Talleyrand, Grand Chamberlain, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Knight of the Great Order of the Legion of Honor, Knight of the Order of the Red and Black Eagle of Russia, and of the Order of St. Hubert, &c.; and
His Excellency the Grand Pensionary, C. H. Verheul, Vice Admiral and Minister of Marine of the Batavian Republic, having the Grand Eagle of the Legion of Honor; T. T. A. Gogel, Minister of Finance, J. Van Strijl one of their high mightinesses, W. Six, Member of the Council of State, and G. Brantzen, Minister Plenipotentiary of the Batavian Republic, having the Grand Eagle of the Legion of Honor who after having mutually exchanged their respective full powers, have agreed as follows:
Article 1. His Majesty the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, as well for himself as for his heirs and successors forever guarantees to Holland the maintenance of its constitutional rights, its independence; the whole of its possessions abroad and at home, its political, civil, and religious liberty, such as is ordained by the existing laws, and the abolition of all privileges with respect to taxes.
11. Upon the formal request made by their High Mightinesses the Representatives of the Batavian Republic, that Prince Louis should be appointed Hereditary and Constitutional King of Holland, his Majesty has yielded to their wishes, and has authorized Prince Louis Napoleon to accept the crown of Holland, to descend to him and his male heirs legitimate, to the perpetual exclusion of females and their descendants.
In consequence of this permission, Prince Louis Napoleon will take the Crown under the title of King, and with all the powers and authority determined by the Constitutional Laws, which the Emperor Napoleon guaranteed by the preceding article.
It is, nevertheless, agreed, that the crown of France and Holland can never be united in the same person.
The Royal domain consists of, First, A Palace at the Hague, which is to be the residence of the Royal Family.—Second, The House in the Wood, Third, the domain of Soestdijk.—Fourth, A landed income of 300,000 florins. The law, besides, assures to the King a further revenue of 1,500,000 florins, payable by monthly installments.
IV. In case of a minority, the regency shall belong by right to the Queen, and in her default to the Emperor of the French in his quality of perpetual head of the Imperial family. He shall choose among the Princes of the Royal Family, and, in their default, among the natives. The minority of the King shall be completed within his eighteenth year.
V. The dowry of the Queen shall be determined by her marriage contract. At present it is agreed to fix it at the annual sum of 25,000 florins, to be taken from the domains of the crown; this sum being deducted, one half remaining of the revenues of the crown shall be appropriated to the maintenance of the household of the minor King—the other half to go to the expenses of the Regency.
The King of Holland shall be a Grand Dignitary of the Empire in perpetuity, under the title of Constable. The functions of this office, however, may, with the consent of the Emperor of the French, be performed by a Prince, Vice Constable, whenever the Emperor may think proper to create such a dignity.
VII. The Members of the reigning family in Holland shall remain personally subject to the disposition of the constitutional Statute of the 30th of March last, forming the law of the imperial family of France.
VIII. The charges and offices of the State, those belonging to the personal service of the King's household excepted, can only be conferred upon natives.
IX. The arms of the King shall be the antient arms of Holland, quartered with the
French Imperial Eagle, and mounted with the Royal crown.
X. A treaty of Commerce shall be immediately concluded between the contracting parties, by virtue of which, the subjects of Holland shall at all times be treated as the most favoured nation, in the ports and upon the French territory. His Majesty the Emperor and King also engages to mediate with the powers of Barbary, to obtain the respect due to the Dutch flag, equal to that of the French.

Paris, May 24. 1806.
VIENNA, JUNE 14. The Russian troops which lately halted on the frontier of Poland, have all marched into the interior; many of them to Petersburg.
NAPLES, JUNE 16.
The English frequently approach our coasts, but are everywhere received with cannon shot. They wish to excite the people in the provinces to insurrection; but they will be disappointed. The mildness and the wisdom of a regenerating government are very powerful in attaching the people to its measures. The people of Naples only require peace and a good administration. Instead of occasioning prejudice to the Government, the English do it essential service, as they purge the country of an inconsiderable number of people, who only wish to excite a disturbance.
ROME, MAY 31.
Among the many reports in circulation here, is one that the mother of NAPOLEON, is to be appointed Queen of Rome, and that LUCIEN BONAPARTE, is also named as her successor.
LONDON, JUNE 25. SLAVE TRADE.
In the House of Lords last night, there was a debate of considerable length, on the subject of the Slave Trade. On a division there appeared 41 against 20, in favor of the proposition moved by Lord Grenville, which was, "That the House do agree to the resolution sent up by the House of Commons, that the Slave Trade being contrary to justice, humanity, and sound policy, they will proceed to take the Abolition of the said Trade into consideration, in such manner, and at such a period, as may be deemed most expedient." After which, an address was moved by Lord Grenville, and carried without a division, praying that His Majesty will be pleased to invite foreign powers to join His Majesty in giving directions for the abolition of the African slave trade.
Bonaparte is said to have it in contemplation to add Hanover to the kingdom of Holland, and to give it besides, the command of the mouths of the Ems, the Weser, and the Elbe.
SPANISH NAVY.
Spain has made a last naval effort, by equipping twenty sail of the line. Of this number eight were at Carthagena, and nine at Cadiz. Bonaparte had insisted, that the should either declare against Russia, or shut her ports against the ships of that nation; but now that he is anxious for a reconciliation with Russia, the intended proceeding, it is thought, will not be carried into effect.
Expedition against South America.
Extract of a letter from an officer at St. Helena, dated the 3d of May.—"We are just arrived here, from the Cape of Good Hope, with a large fleet of men of war and transports. Our destination is for the Rio de la Plata, where our first object of attack will be Monte Video, and then Buenos Ayres, which places we expect will make but little resistance."
TRIFLES.
LELAND, the French astronomer, has discovered an island in the moon:—BONAPARTE, will, no doubt, appoint some one of his relatives to the sovereignty of it!
A letter from Limerick, of the 9th June, says, "A few days ago a man was summoned to appear before our Chief Magistrate, charged with a species of fraud hitherto unknown in this part of the United Kingdom, to wit, selling his wife for ten guineas, and then passing another man's wife on the purchaser instead of his own."
BY THE MAILS.
Extract from a Liverpool paper, on the subject of Negotiation for Peace.
"Looking at the reciprocal state of the two principal belligerent powers, what we peculiarly contend for is, that whether negotiations have, or have not been hitherto carried on with a favorable appearance, they can hold out no satisfactory promise and earnest of terminating in a peace such as his Majesty's ministers could make, or the country at large would be gratified with. For this sentiment we have only to refer our readers to the actual situation, to the undisguised conduct, to the avowed opinions of the emperor of the French. Of Bonaparte's anxious wish to obtain peace, no one can entertain a doubt.—By
that and that alone he can have ships, colonies and commerce. But who is there so weak, so ignorant of human nature, and above all so little acquainted with the mind and propensities of this extraordinary man, as to believe that even the treaty of Amiens, explained and acted upon in his own sense and meaning will satisfy him? The system which he chalked out for himself, and has since steadily pursued from his elevation to the consulate, is now too clearly understood to be mistaken. He is determined to extend his conquests, to enlarge his power, to establish his controul over the Continent, as we increase our colonial possessions, and consolidate our Empire on the ocean. What is his new kingdom of Naples, but a set off against our victory off Trafalgar? and the Sovereignty of Holland in the person of his brother Louis, but a counterbalance to the conquest of the C. of G. Hope?—He knows we have other acquisitions to make, and other triumphs to expect by sea. But he has also more monarchies to erect, as vassalages and dependencies on his empire of the west; and the capture of his brother Jerome, or some new victory gained by our fleets, will probably be followed by investing Prince Murat with the sovereignty of Switzerland, under the title of King of Helvetia, as the fief of France. He has still more revolutions to make, but he reserves them for a more propitious time. The fate of Portugal is in his hands, and the new Germanic constitution may give rise to partitions and arrangements at present little thought of. It consequently follows, that if he consents to peace, he will only consent to one worse than that of Amiens. He will not, while he has any prospect of adding to our weight of taxation, relinquish a particle of his power on the continent, nor allow us to retain what we have conquered from himself, or, what is the same thing, from his allies and dependents. Bonaparte's recent reconciliation with the Ottoman Porte, and the intrigues he is now known to be carrying on in the court of St. Petersburg, are unquestionably little calculated to lower the arrogance of his pretensions, and to soften him into a compliance with such terms as we might safely offer.
ALBANY, (N.Y.) AUGUST 14.
Extract of a letter from His Excellency Gov. HOLL, to his friend in this city, dated Detroit, 11th July.
"I arrived here the 6th June. The Territory was in a high state of alarm; they expected an attack by the Indians; they were building blockhouses and stockades for an hundred miles in extent. I immediately sent for the chiefs of the different nations. They came according to my request, and in a few days every thing was explained to their satisfaction. They are perfectly friendly, and every thing is entirely tranquil. The people have returned to their usual employments."
BOSTON, AUGUST 23.
FIRE!
On the night of the 4th inst. the Saw mills and Gristmill, known by the name of SHAW'S MILLS in Trenton, were destroyed by fire, together with about Thirty Thousand of Lumber.
On Monday night last, the Twine Manufactory and Mr. Clap's house, on Charleston Neck, (Mats.) were destroyed by fire.
A large fire on the suburbs of N. Orleans, on the 15th ultimo, destroyed several houses, stores, &c. about three hundred and fifty hogheads of tobacco, one hundred bales of cotton, and other articles.—Loses estimated at between forty and fifty thousand dollars.
Late on Friday night the 1st inst. Reuben Smith and Wm. Riley, broke into the dwelling house of Mr. Nathan Smith, of Woodbridge, in Connecticut, and entering his bed room, where he was in bed, demanded his money, (being armed with clubs) he sprung out of bed, and seizing one of the villains disarmed him of his club, with which he knocked him down—he then attacked the other—a scuffle took place and the robbers thought prudent to make their escape—they have since been apprehended, and are now lodged in the jail in New Haven.
Mr. Lyman, passenger in the Sarah, from London, confirms the information hitherto received of the sincere desire of the British Government to be on amicable terms with America. The sentiments of Mr. Fox, were well known. A speedy restoration of a good understanding was confidently expected. Mr. L. is incredulous as to the report of an approaching peace between G. Britain and France.
A writer in an English paper on the subject of a peace with BONAPARTE, conjectures that France, to induce England to restore some of the important places she has taken, will endeavor to offer her something like an equivalent elsewhere.—Among the territory which might thus be tendered to Great Britain, the Floridas are mentioned.
Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1806.
From LONDON, June 17.
"I HAVE enclosed a few papers by the Sarah. I wanted much to send The Times, of this morning, which denies the report of Lord Yarmouth's having gone to Paris, to negotiate with Talleyrand, or otherwise of carrying a favorable answer from Mr. Fox, to the proposal of a negotiation for peace. I cannot conceive of a peace between this country and France, on any terms of safety, while one commands the continent, and the other the ocean. This is the general opinion here, however the present Administration may be inclined to peace on almost any terms, they dare not make it, unless it combines security." (Centinel.)
Of MIRANDA'S Expedition.
Capt. Davis, on quarantine, from Trinidad, informs, that (July 20th) Gen. Miranda's Squadron, consisting of the Lilly sloop of war, and five other vessels, was expected to sail daily:—That the persons engaged in the expedition were in high spirits, and confident of success; and that Miranda had altered his intention of fighting under the Peruvian colours [a Golden Sun and Rainbow] and had substituted the British.—His avowed object was the emancipation of his countrymen from the Spanish yoke. (Later accounts from this island, state, that on the 23d July Miranda's Squadron had sailed, and was lying off and on before Trinidad, apparently waiting for other vessels, or information. We may expect, in the course of a very few days, to learn the kind of reception, which this intrepid and indefatigable Adventurer, will receive on the shores of the Spanish Main. Those who wish well to his enterprize, must lament the tardiness which appears entailed on the expedition. Capt. Lewis, late of the Leander, who has arrived in New-York, we understand, does not speak very laudably of the success of the expedition. Ibid.)
FRENCH FLEET!
On Tuesday last, P. M. a considerable fleet, in which were five line of Battle Ships, were seen, from our central wharves, going into Boston, or nearly that course.—They were not discovered, however, by any persons who were at that time in the Bay—we conclude it must be a French Fleet, (probably the one commanded by Citizen Jerome Bonaparte. (Salem paper.)
Naval.—We learn, that Com. PRESBLE has received orders from the Secretary of the Navy, to commence the building of Eight Gun-Boats, which are to be launched by the last of November. Five of which will be built in this town, and three in Brunswick. We are also happy to hear that much more public business of this nature may be expected in this quarter. Portland paper.
The case of the brig Izette and cargo, of this port has been tried at Halifax, the 30th ult. and both vessel and cargo are to be restored, on payment of full costs.
A writer in the Washington Federalist has furnished several essays on the subject of Finance, in which he has collected a considerable quantity of information relative to the situation of the public lands. It appears, that we had sold,
 In 1801, 398,640 acres for 1,903,500 dls.  In 1802, 738,666 1,885,502  In 1803, 919,797 2,948,502  In 1804, 1,293,356 2,888,509  In 1805, 1,618,602 3,124,462  and that we have yet 300,000,000  acres on this side, and 700,000,000  acres on the other side of the Mississippi. 
In regard to health, the reports are not so favorable throughout the Union, as they have been lately. No uncommon sickness has appeared in any of our great commercial towns, but confused accounts from the interior parts of the Southern States, lead to apprehend the progress of the fevers of the season. In the Northern States, health continues, and the season has had no uncommon heat.
COMMUNICATION.
Highest Prize!
8,000 dollars without deduction! No. 6398 in the 8th Class of Amoskeag Canal Lottery was drawn on Friday last a prize of 8,000 dollars; it was sold in this town and owned by a deserving young gentleman. Notwithstanding it was mentioned in the Boston Centinel, as being sold by GILBERT & DEAN. Lottery Venders, both in Boston, and elsewhere, think it ungenerous in Messrs. G. & D. to try, (by the manner of their publishing the prizes drawn daily) to make the public believe they sell all the prizes in every lottery. Whereas the contrary would appear a fact, that they sell no more prizes, according to their numbers, than any other vendor. We wish them well—"but fair play is a jewel!"

COMMUNICATION.  Messrs. Printers, In looking at the federal paper printed in this town, the observer is struck with that noble maxim, "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports." This political axiom of "the Father of his people" has been adopted as a motto for the Portsmouth Oracle. This splendid index leads the reader to expect in the pages of that paper, sound political doctrine, and correct information. How indignant then must the admirer of Washington feel, when, unfolding this paper, he finds that great name used as an instrument to stamp credibility upon the vilest falsehoods. The Portsmouth Oracle in a political point of view, is but an undertaking in the office of detraction, and of late its stale gleanings from other federal prints have been truly disgusting. At length however, it assumes a more noble standing, and affords an original production. The 'Observer,' having long noticed the invidious attempts of the oracle, would administer an antidote to the deleterious poison of its pages; poison, which gilt by 'Washington's legacy,' is swallowed by the credulous and uninformed. The 'Observer' will, in future, consider the axiom of Washington as a test to try the character of the Oracle writers. The subject of our present animadversion is a communication in the last Oracle: This commences with some remarks on an opinion said to be avowed of the President Jefferson by Mr. Fox of England. It had been said "that Mr. Fox declared it, as his opinion, that Mr. Jefferson was the greatest statesman in the world." To the American people this opinion of Mr. Fox was a matter of indifference: Their own knowledge of the virtues of Mr. Jefferson, led to his elevation to the presidential chair. But what must we think of the Oracle writer when he declares, that the President of the U.S. rechosen to that office by 162 electors, against 14, is a character of "the most abominable stupidity and deceit that any nation was ever degraded with?" We must consider him a most foolish, as well as wicked disorganizer. In this republic the right of suffrage is maintained, and the will of the people may be faithfully expressed. The majority of the people must be supposed to possess the greatest portion of the collective wisdom; and unless that majority is held competent to determine for the whole community, in matters of election, and legislation; subordination must end, the system of Government ceases, and the fabric of the Republic is dissolved. The writer in the Oracle is a disorganizer! for he raises his individual voice against the general expression. He declares, virtually, that a majority of this wise and virtuous community, is guilty of elevating to the first office in the nation, a man whose character is made up of "the most abominable stupidity and deceit, with which a nation was ever degraded!" and mark the immorality of this writer? he is the encomiast of Mr. Fox, and he fagely concludes that Mr. Fox could not praise Jefferson, "for Mr. Fox is a candid, honorable, and truly virtuous man," now we admit that the public standing of Mr. Fox, and his political knowledge, may enable him to appreciate our President's merit as a civilian. But as for Mr. Fox's morality or religion, we apprehend that his encomiast has measured it by his own standard, for Charles Fox in private life has been one of the most debauched and immoral characters that England ever produced. The encomiast of Fox insinuates a comparison between him and Mr. Jefferson, and says, his idol "is too good to buy peace with the hard earned treasures of his country." Yet this very Fox is a leader of the ministerial party, which lately voted more than five hundred thousand dollars to Lord Nelson's brother to keep up his dignity! and this sum is but a small item of that total which, in England, is the wages of corruption; taken indeed "from the hard earned treasures of the country." Washington approved Jefferson! I would Washington have admired Fox? is the maxim of Washington a rule of conduct to the calumniator of Jefferson?  The Oracle writer next appeals for support to a London paper, and he hands the American public what he calls a commentary on the opinion of Mr. Fox. This commentary is a repetition of those false, scandalous, and libelous assertions, which appeared in federal prints in this country respecting an appropriation by Congress of two millions of dollars,--assertions, which transmitted to England by the medium of those prints, are assumed as facts by the corrupted partisans of that government,--and after being dispersed over Europe as a reproach to our name, to retard our negotiations, and to interrupt the harmony of national intercourse; are banded back to this country to reaffirm their place in federal prints, and thence to scatter the seeds of distrust, dissention, and dismay.
Would Washington have done this? no blest shade! thy life was moral--was religious. After repeating the contemptible charge of villainy & corruption which the federal prints have aimed, not only at the legal head of this country, but also, at a majority of congress, composed as that body is of men selected by the right of suffrage, by a free election, from the midst of a virtuous people.--The London writer adds, 'that the measure has excited great indignation in the United States.' And here the communicatist, overcome by sympathy, touches upon the pathetic--"alas! I says he, "poor fellow, conscious of the glorious struggle in which Great Britain was engaged for the preservation of its own independence, he little thought that this only republic which the cruel tyranny of Bonaparte has as yet suffered to survive the almost universal wreck of freedom, should in its very infancy be base and corrupt enough to crouch and cringe at the feet of a despot and implore with presents in their uplifted hands his mediation to ward off the attacks even of the enslaved, degraded Spaniard!! But thus our glory has passed away--nipped, and blasted and withered in the bud! The influence of France, the prejudices of a Virginian have prevailed, The State is rotten before it is ripe--we are brought to the eve of a war with that country, which the love of liberty, the desire of self preservation should make us friendly to at present--Our wealth, our fame, our independence may be swallowed up, and lost in the same overwhelming gulf,"--This bombast is truly ridiculous; the nauseous pill is sufficient--no antidote is wanted. Britain, struggling for independence! yes indeed as a nation--but the liberties of her subjects were long since destroyed. The grossest venality, and the rankest corruption, fills every department of her government. And whilst a large portion of her subjects are perishing with want, her nobles are wallowing in the luxury of a Lucullus. England struggling for independence! No--Englishmen are slaves! and nothing less than the convulsed, the agonising struggle of a revolution will reinstate the people of that devoted country in the possession of their rights.--Rights for which their ancestors fought, and bled, and died. Nothing less than a revolution can annihilate their enormous national debt, break up their odious system of taxation, and give to subjects the right of a pure representative legislation. But England in its present state, is the Government to which the Oracle writer would with America to cling for protection from the overwhelming power of France. The English government! a vortex, which has swallowed the happiness of half the nations of Europe. Where is Poland?--swept from the list of nations by the gold with which England subsidised Prussia. What is Austria?--a bacon to warn other nations to beware of Britain. What, in short, has made France a mighty empire, but the intrigues and gold of England?--But for England, France might have continued a Republic. The nations on the continent of Europe, which were opposed to France, were made the dupes of England. France had no safety as a Republic! and the extended her arms, encircled nations on her bosom, and has now become a vast consolidated Empire! But if the power of France is dangerous to the independence of other nations; we should find no safety with England.--Nor will we undertake a crusade to re-establish the balance of Europe. The Oracle writer says, in express terms, that this Republic of the United States "is base and corrupt enough, to crouch and cringe at the feet of a Despot to ward off the attacks of the enslaved, degraded Spaniard." Vile incendiary! and this odious falsehood you publish to the world--And yet you declare that we are brought to the eve of a war with England.--what, afraid of the Spaniard, and yet willing to war with England! and if so, are you not a political Judas to betray the decrepitude of your country to that government, whose insatiable maw, not the treasures of groaning India can fill. Can we expect, on the basis of equal privileges, to maintain peace with England, whose power to do us harm is greater even than that of France, if you indulge the object of a special mission by holding us up as a tributary, as a vile, and despised supplicant, praying with uplifted hands to a Despot to ward off the attacks of the enslaved, degraded Spaniard? Would Washington have acted thus? No! Washington was moral, was religious. He loved his country--and you are a disciple of Washington! and thus Judas Iscariot was a disciple! People of Columbia suppress your feelings? I would appeal to your reason--not to your passions. Our nation is a Republic--Our Government, a representation of the People. Is the elective franchise maintained to you?--then you are safe. The man who vilifies your government, insults the majesty of the People. Mistake me not? I advise to no unbounded confidence in your officers--no unwarrantable attachment to persons. But adhere to principles, and have confidence in yourselves. Examine the measures of your constituted authorities? but examine them with decency? If these measures tend to the preservation of your rights, defend them? if otherwise, act with dignity; exercise your right of suffrage; remove your officers; and provide better men? Look to the experience of a few past years? it teaches wisdom. The Federal Administration adopted maxims of European Cabinets. You
considered its measures unwise, you removed your officers and endeavoured to provide better men. These latter served you a constitutional term, & you re-elected them to office--The measures of the Federal Administration, were opposed to those of the Republican. The former provided a sedition law, which in time might have transported your Generals, and your Mairs to Botany Bay; and have sent your Ruffians, and your Sydnys to the Block. The latter abrogated that law as subversive of freedom, and restored the liberty of the press. Let it not degenerate to licentiousness. The former established a system of direct taxation, and created a new public debt. The latter abolished that system, and are ready to pay the debt. The former provided a multitude of offices, and made an extensive patronage. The latter declared those offices unnecessary, and depends on the will of the people. The former raised a standing army, and hardly maintained peace to the nation. The latter without that army, are at peace with the world. Gracious Heaven! we thank thee that no blood stained struggle has been necessary to preserve our civil privileges, and our national independence; and that the maxims of the revered Washington are engraved on the hearts of thy people. Suffer us not to abuse our privileges, nor to become unmindful of thy protection; may we be disposed to promote the cause of science, of general knowledge, and of pure religion. And may the administration of this government continue to be guided by that just policy in regard to all other nations, which is compatible with a strict adherence to the principles of moral obligation.
State of New Hampshire, } Rockingham, ss. } Portsmouth, August 25, 1806. At a Town-meeting held this day, (pursuant to notification) for the choice of five suitable persons to represent this State in the Congress of the United States,--who are to take their seats the 4th of March next,--Voted unanimously--WM GARDNER, Esq. Moderator,--at the close of the poll the votes stood as follows:    Republican.  Federal.    C. Storer, 153,  S. Tenney, 67    J. K. Smith, 155,  T. W. Tompson 65    D. M. Durell 146,  C. Ellis, 67    F. Gardner, 148,  S. Betton, 65    P. Carlton, 155,  D. Hough, 66    there were 25 scattering votes.
EXECUTION. On Tuesday the 12th inst. took place at Haverhill, N. H. the execution of JOSIAH BURNHAM. The concourse of people at this solemn and interesting spectacle was exceedingly numerous. It was impossible to make any accurate computation of the number present--but from the best calculations that could be made, they were estimated to be about ten thousand.--At eleven o'clock the criminal was taken from the gaol and conducted by a military guard to the place of execution. Religious exercises were there performed by the Rev. David Southland of Bath. They were commenced with singing--prayer--singing--a sermon on the words from Romans vi. 23. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."--and were concluded with prayer. The sermon was ingenious, pathetic and well adapted to the occasion.
When the time had expired, the cord that held the plank on which he stood, was cut with the fatal knife with which he perpetrated the horrid murder. The appearance of the criminal at the gallows was marked with an indifference truly astonishing.--When the Reverend Clergyman in his address to him touched upon his condition with a feeling and emphasis, which one would have supposed must have melted into tears of sensibility the most hardened and reprobate, he appeared to be unmoved. He seemed less affected by his situation than a great part of the spectators around him. When conducted from his confinement to the place of execution, he was observed to keep step with the music, as accurately as any soldier of the guard; and but a few minutes before he was swung from the gallows he drank, with the greatest composure, a large draught of liquor.
[Dartmouth Gazette.] Our readers will please to notice the communication (in our Marine department) made by Capt. CHURCH, from Halifax, respecting the condemnation of the Herkimer , "ship and cargo."--Which we have extracted from the Boston Democrat, of Saturday last.

Thursday last arrived at Bolton, Schooner Fame, Merchant in 8 days from Halifax. The Fame was bound from hence to Labrador, for a cargo of oil to take to a foreign port; and was detained by a British cruiser, and carried into Halifax, on a charge of being bound on a smuggling voyage--On trial she was acquitted, and the prosecutors were condemned to pay the costs. Capt. M. has, beside, commenced a suit for 8000 dollars for the interruption of his voyage. The above decision is to show that a voyage to Labrador, for oil, and with supplies for the fishermen, is legal.  Passengers in the Fame--Captain Church, of the Herkimer , from Lima for New-York, condemned as Spanish property; and Capt. Doble, of the Hope , from N. York for Bourdeaux, reserved for further proof.

The sloop Eagle , Clark, from Manzanillo for Newport, was to fail August 12.  The following was communicated to us by Capt. CHURCH, from Halifax:  "The Herkimer was condemned by the Court, ship and cargo. They also condemned my adventure, amounting to 4000 dollars. One powerful reason for condemning my adventure was, that 2400 dollars was in specie, which the captors say they never think of giving up. They have liberated several vessels without trial, making the claimants pay all costs. If they bring them to trial they are sure to make them pay all costs, should vessel and cargo be cleared.  "The brig Hope , Doble, was brought to trial on the 9th August. After reading the papers it was agreed between the judge and the lawyers, that this vessel should lay over for further proof. The judge said it was a case deeply suspected of fraud; had the council for the captors have urged it, he was of opinion they were entitled to a decree of condemnation.  "The sch'r Fame , Merchant, was seized by a revenue cutter, under suspicion that she was going to Smuggle. So sanguine were they of having her condemned, that they bro't her in and discharged her cargo before trial, without first obtaining permission from the Court. This affronted the judge so much, that he cleared the sch'r, and strange to tell, decreed the captors to pay costs.  "On the last Court day previous to my leaving Halifax, was brought on for trial, 10 tons of cocoa, belonging to a Spanish gentleman, taken in a Spanish brig, from Carraccas for Cadiz. The council for the captors plead that the cocoa was from an enemy's colony, going to the mother country of that enemy, under an enemy's flag, and of course was subject to condemnation. The judge, in making up his decree laid, that from the particular friendship existing between the Portuguese government and that of Great Britain, he decreed the property to be restored.  "This is the conduct of what they are pleased to call the just Judge of Halifax.--All the people say, there is no use in appealing from Judge Croke's decisions, for in no case say they, have his judgements been reversed. He is an independant man, they add, not to be influenced by any one, and above bribery, as he receives two thousand pounds per ann."  .....DIED.....

LAW, PHYSIC AND DIVINITY. LAW, Physic and Divinity Contem which shall superior be;— The lawyer fowars he'll be your friend, Use and rights he will defend. T. for talks of his great skill, Say life and health are in his pill; The Reverend, he will plainly show, If you'll repent to Heaven you go. But mark these friends of ours, and see, Where ends their great servility! Without a fee the Lawyer's dumb, Without a see the Doctor's mum; The Reverend says, without his pay, He'll leave you to your own law way.
From the True American. Good people attend The advice of a friend, Who to benefit you thus makes bold; Of the chill damp night air I would have you beware— Even death often comes from a cold. The fevers and agues That terribly plague us, And threaten to shake us to pieces— The gripings and laxes, Dysenteries and fluxes, And a numerous host of diseases, Too often arise (Tho' the fact may surprize,) From the night-air incautiously taken; Abroad or at home, If you sit or you roam, If you'd save, you must guard well your bacon. Those who ramble at eve, Scarcely clad with a leaf, In the cold dews that evening distils, Have no right to complain, Of sickness or pain, From fluxes and fevers and chills.
PUBLIC GOOD.
Extract of a letter, dated Fort Ann, (State of New-York) July, 1806, from Dr. Isaac Sargent, to Dr. Samuel H. P. Lee, New-London.
"Having been for about fifteen years in the practice of Physic in this place, where the most prevailing diseases are of the bilious kind, and frequently those of the most alarming and ob- stinate grade, I had with much anxiety witnessed the deficiency of the Cathar- ticks generally made use of in those complaints, and anxious to find a bet- ter composition than any I had as yet been acquainted with; at the advice of a friend, I made trial of your "New London Bilious Pills"—which so far exceeded any other medicine of the kind in their good effects in removing the complaints for which they were ad- ministered that I have now for a num- ber of years, made use of a number of dozen boxes in my Practice in each year, much to the advantage of my patients.—I use so many of your pills, that it would be an object to purchase them direct from you, therefore will thank you for your prices for cash, de- livered at Troy, &c. &c."
ISAAC SARGENT.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability, one of the professors in the seminary of sciences at Canaan (S. C.) to his sister in New-London—communi- cated by Mr. James Bulkeley, merchant, of New-London.
"South Carolina has never, per- haps since its settlement, witnessed so sickly a season as the last summer, and the devouring pestilence still continues its alarming ravages—and it has not been confined to this State alone. Its devastating march is extended from Virginia to Georgia."
"I have, however, been so fortunate as to escape an attack from those dreadful fevers which prevail in this country; and I attribute my escape, in a great measure, to the extraor- dinary virtues of certain Pills, manu- factured by Dr. Lee, of New-London; the good effects of which, in prevent- ing those disorders which arise from bile, are certainly undoubted. The above Pills may be had by wholesale or retail at CH'S PEIRCE's Bookstore, Portsmouth, New Hampshire."
The Abbe Raynal, in his history of the settlements and trade in the East and West Indies, speaking of the Dutch colony at the Cape of Good Hope, says, "there is one trait worthy of ob- servation in the manners of this colony, and that is, that the most charming instance of the candor of the prim- itive ages is revived here. When a young woman forms an attachment, she soon makes a fair avowal of the delightful impression. Love, she says is a natural passion, which is to make the pleasure of her life, and indemnify her for the dangers of being a mother. The man who has had the happiness to secure her affections is publicly fa- vored, if his sentiments correspond with those which he has inspired.— In these sacred and voluntary ties, which have not been formed by mo- tives of ambition, avarice, or vanity, confidence and tenderness are united; and these two sentiments in simple, calm, and steady minds, produce an union which is very seldom affected by any furies of years or of events."
