LAWS OF THE UNION.
[PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY.]
AN ACT
To provide for persons, who were disabled by known wounds received in the revolutionary war.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That any commissioned or non-commissioned officer, musician, soldier, marine or seaman, disabled in the actual service of the United States, while in the line of his duty, by known wounds received during the revolutionary war, and who did not desert the service; or who in consequence of disability as aforesaid resigned his commission or took a discharge; or who after incurring disability as aforesaid, was taken captive by the enemy, and remained either in captivity or on parole, until the close of the said revolutionary war; or who in consequence of known wounds received as aforesaid, has at any period since, become and continued disabled in such a manner as to render him unable to procure a subsistence by manual labor; whether such officer, musician, soldier, marine or seaman, served as a volunteer, in any proper service against the common enemy, or belonging to a detachment of militia, which served against the common enemy, or to the regular forces of the United States, or of any particular state; he shall upon substantiating his claim, in the manner hereinafter described, be placed on the pension list of the United States, during life, or the continuance of such disability, and be entitled under the regulations hereinafter mentioned, to receive such sum as shall be found just and proper, by the testimony adduced.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That in substantiating such claim, the following rules and regulations shall be complied with, that is to say: All evidence shall be taken on oath or affirmation, before the judge of the district, or one of the judges of the territory in which such claimant resides, or before some person specially authorized by commission from said judge.
Decisive disability, the effect of a known wound or wounds received while in the actual service, and line of duty against the common enemy, during the revolutionary war, must be proved by the affidavit of the commanding officer of the regiment, corps, company, ship, vessel, or craft, in which such claimant served; or of two other credible witnesses to the same effect, setting forth the time when, and place where, such known wound or wounds were received; and particularly describing the same.
The nature of such disability, and in what degree it prevents the claimant from obtaining his subsistence, must be proved by the affidavit of some reputable physician or surgeon, stating his opinion either from his own knowledge and acquaintance with the claimant, or from an examination of such claimant on oath or affirmation; which, when necessary for that purpose, shall be administered to said claimant by said judge or commissioner. And the said physician or surgeon, in his affidavit, shall particularly describe the wound or wounds from whence the disability appears to be derived.
Every claimant must prove, by at least one credible witness, that he continued in service during the whole time for which he was detached, or for which he engaged, unless he was discharged; or left the service in consequence of some derangement of the army, or in consequence of his disability resigned his commission; or was after his disability in captivity or on parole, until the close of the revolutionary war. And in the same manner must prove his mode of life and employment since he left the service, and the place or places where he has since resided, and his place of residence, at the time of taking such testimony.
Every claimant shall by his affidavit give satisfactory reasons why he did not make application for a pension before, and that he is not on the pension list of any state; and the judge or commissioner shall certify in writing, his opinion of the credibility of the witnesses, whose affidavits he shall take, in all those cases, where by this act it is said the proof shall be made by a credible witness or witnesses. And
also that the examining physician or surgeon is reputable in his profession.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the said judge of the district, or person by him commissioned as aforesaid, shall transmit a list of such claims, accompanied by the evidence, affidavits, certificates, and proceedings had thereon in pursuance of this act, noting particularly the day on which the testimony was closed before him, to the secretary for the department of war, that the same may be compared with the muster rolls, or other documents in his office; and the said secretary shall make a statement of all such cases, which together with all the testimony, he shall from time to time transmit to Congress, with such remarks as he may think proper, that Congress may be enabled to place such claimants on the pension list as shall be found entitled to the privilege. And it shall be the duty of the judge or commissioner, aforesaid, to permit each claimant to take a transcript of the evidence and proceedings had respecting his claim, if he shall desire it, and to certify the same to be correct.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That every pension or increase thereof, by virtue of this act, shall commence on the day when the claimant shall have completed his testimony, before the authority proper to take the same.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That an increase of pension may be allowed to persons already placed upon the pension list of the U. S. for disabilities caused by known wounds received during the revolutionary war, in all cases where justice shall require the same. Provided, That the increase when added to the pension formerly received, shall in no case exceed a full pension.
Every invalid, making application for this purpose, shall be examined by two reputable physicians or surgeons, to be authorised, by commission from the judge of the district, where such invalid resides; who shall report in writing, on oath or affirmation, their opinion of the nature of the applicant's disability, and in what degree it prevents him from obtaining a subsistence by manual labor. Which report shall be transmitted by said physicians or surgeons, to the secretary for the department of war; who shall compare the same with the documents in his office, and shall make a statement of all such cases, which together with the original report, he shall from time to time transmit to Congress, with such remarks as he may think proper, that they may be enabled to do justice to such pensioners.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That a full pension given by this act to a commissioned officer, shall be one half of the monthly pay legally allowed, at the time of incurring said disability, to his grade in the forces raised by the United States; and the proportions less than a full pension, shall be correspondent proportions of said half pay; and a full pension to a non-commissioned officer, musician, soldier, marine or seaman, shall be five dollars a month, and the proportions less than a full pension, shall be the like proportions of five dollars a month; but no pension of a commissioned officer shall be calculated at a higher rate than the half pay of a lieutenant-colonel.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That the pensions, or increase thereof, which may be allowed by this act, shall be paid in the same manner as pensions to invalids, who have been heretofore placed on the pension list, are now paid, and under such restrictions and regulations, in all respects as are prescribed by law.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That from and after the passage of this act, no sale, transfer, or mortgage of the whole or any part of the pension, payable to any non-commissioned officer, musician, soldier, marine or seaman, before the same becomes due, shall be valid. And every person claiming such pension or any part thereof, under the power of attorney or substitution, shall, before the same is paid, make oath or affirmation, before some magistrate, legally authorised to take the same, a copy of which, attested by said magistrate, shall be lodged with the person who pays said pension; that such power or substitution is not given by reason of any transfer of such pension, or part thereof. And any person who shall swear or affirm falsely in the premises, and be thereof convicted, shall suffer as for wilful and corrupt perjury.
Sec. 9. And be it further enacted, That all laws of the United States here-

before passed, so far as they authoris- persons to be placed on the pension list of the United States, for, and in conse- quence of, disabilities derived from known wounds received in the revolu- tionary war, shall be, and they hereby are repealed: Provided , That nothing in this repealing clause shall injure, or in any way effect those persons already upon the pension list of the United States; and that the secretary for the department of war shall proceed upon the testimony, which has been trans- mitted to him by any claimant, before the passage of this act, in the same manner as though this act had never passed.
Sec. 10. And be it further enacted , That this act, so far as it authorises the admission of persons upon the pension list of the United States, shall remain in force for and during the space of six years, from the passage thereof, and no longer: Provided , That this limitation shall not affect or impair the right of any invalid, who may have compleat- ed his testimony in the manner prescrib- ed by this act before this limitation commenced its operation, but which has not been transmitted to the secreta- ry for the department of war.

FOREIGN NEWS.
LONDON, AUG. 6. On Sunday afternoon, Lord Lander- dale, appointed Minister Plenipotenti- ary to France, for the purpose of con- ducting the negotiation which has for some time been going on with that pow- er, left town. He reached Deal on Sunday and immediately embarked on board the Clyde frigate, from whence he was landed at Calais the same day, and immediately set out for Paris.
Several messengers have proceeded to France with dispatches, since his Lord- ship left town; but it is not known, whether they relate to the necessary bu- siness, connected with the embassy; or to any change of opinion in our cabin- et, resulting from the extraordinary news of a separate treaty having been made between Russia and France.
THE EXPEDITION.
AUG. 6.—Were it not that Lord Lauderdale has actually set out for Paris, we should have been inclined to think that several circumstances connected with the expedition of Sicily seemed ra- ther to indicate apprehensions of the failure of the negotiation. The Guards who have been for some time kept ra- ther in an undecided state at Chatham, Deal, Ramsgate, &c. and marched and countermarched in various directions after being at length embarked, have been ordered to proceed with all expe- dition to Portsmouth, whence the expe- dition for Sicily will start.
COALITION AGAINST TURKEY.
AUG. 5.—An opinion is prevalent on the continent, and appears to have a strong foundation to rest on, that Russia and the Porte, are on the eve of war, and that the former is to receive the as- sistance of the powerful army which the French have collected in Dalmatia. Be- tween its enemies and its allies, the Tur- kish power is in a fair way of being driv- en out of Europe.
Germanic Circle Dissolving.
AUG. 6.—Bonaparte seems by his conduct to have considered the treaty with Russia, as fully ratified and con- firmed for on the very day, that M. D'Oubril signed the preliminaries, it was intimated to the Austrian Ambassador, that his master must immediately abdi- cate the crown he has so long worn, as head of the German Empire, and con- fine himself in future, to such matters as concern only his own house.
French Aggressions on Spain.
AUG. 6.—Accounts by the Lisbon mail state, that Bonaparte had required of the King of Spain to receive an am- bassador from the new created king of Naples. It was also insisted on, that his Catholic Majesty should agree, to the dethroning of his own daughter, the Queen of Etruria, and that he should fur- ther consent to the incorporation of four of his provinces with the kingdom of France, viz. Catalonia, Arragon, Na- varre and Biscay, thereby making the river Ebro the boundary between France and Spain, instead of the Pyrenees. The Court of Madrid made strong re- monstrances against such unjustifiable pretensions; and war was even declar- ed by the French minister six hours be- fore his Catholic Majesty consented to the measure.
MADRID, JUNE 14.
Three vessels of war at Ferrol have received orders to hold themselves in readiness, and are destined to convey succors to the Spanish American Colo- nies.
SCHIEDAM, JULY 17.
Reports of expected Peace have been current here some days; and it is known
that a negotiation has been opened be- tween the French and English Courts. The Hague Court Gazette, of this morning, has the following article:— “According to private accounts from Paris, the hopes of a General Peace were daily gaining ground there.”
PARIS, JULY 24.
The minister of Marine has written a circular to the different ports, an- nouncing the signing of the Peace be- tween France and Russia; and order- ing, that all the naval officers should treat the Russian vessels as friends.
The fete announced for August is postponed until September to give time for the grand army to be present.
A letter from Naples of the 17th July, inserted in one of our last French papers contains the following account: “On the 1st July, 6000 English disembarked at the gulph of St. Eu- phemia, in Calabria. They were at- tacked on the 4th by the General of division Regnier with the Polish regi- ment and the 42d of the line, who were warmly repulsed. Gen. Com- pere, grievously wounded, and 300 Poles, were made prisoners. The English having been joined by a re- inforcement of 3000 men, and by 3 or 4000 Calabrian insurgents, com- mitted the error of advancing into the country; and quitted the protection of their vessels. Within a league of Cosenza they were furiously attacked by the general of division Verdier, at the head of 10,000 infantry and 2000 cavalry. The English beaten, put to the route, and at the moment of writing 1800 English prisoners have arrived at head quarters, Gen. Verdier in pursuit of the fugitives. On the other hand General Regnier having marched to Cotrone has given up to pillage the Village de Lissola. Calabrian revolutionaries have been put to the sword.”
BY THE MAILS.
Extract of a letter from the Captain of an American vessel to his friend in Nor- folk, dated, London, July 20.
“I expect I shall get away by the 10th of August, and it is probable Mr. Munroe may come with me; he he wishes to do so, and thinks he will, if Mr. Fox gets so well as to be able to transact business; the recovery of Mr. Fox is very uncertain. I said no- thing to Mr. Monroe on public busi- ness, and from his expressing a wish and an expectation of returning with me, I conclude that he apprehends no difficulties to detain him. The opin- ion here is, that all matters of differ- ence between this country and ours will be amicably adjusted. The mer- chants do not apprehend any rupture, though some few declined shipping goods for their correspondents in A- merica, but they may have had other reasons, than the fear of rupture. I am no politician, but I see or hear no- thing that gives me reason to suppose there will not be an amicable adjust- ment of differences.”
NEW YORK, Sept. 20. Capt. Sto- rey of the ship Connecticut was board- ed of the 26th August by the British cutter brig L'Espoir, capt. Hope, and was informed that Preliminaries of Peace were signed at Madrid on the 4th of August between Great Bri- tain and Spain; and that the news was received at Gibraltar by express on the 4th, which was the day on which L'Espoir left port.
SEPT. 23.
While Capt. Waterman, who ar- rived this morning from Amsterdam, was in the British Channel, he under- stood it to be the general opinion in England, that Mr. Fox would speedi- ly resign in consequence of his ill state of health.
It is very probable that the negoti- ation opened for the settlement of dif- ferences and purchase of East Florida, have been frustrated—the representa- tions of the little privileged spy will find access where neither truth nor sound political representations will be admitted. To have negotiated with full success, the evidence of our deci- sion should have been sent in the ship with Yrujo to the first port that pre- sented itself in Europe. ( Aurora. )
BALTIMORE, SEPT. 22.
MORE MAMMOTHS.
There is now in this city a Travel- ler from the banks of the Missouri— he has in his possession an enormous “Tooth” of the “Mammoth.” He declares, that while searching for mines on the banks of that river, he and his comrades discovered a tract of ground of about one mile square, con- taining (six feet below the surface) a general layer of bones of an immense size. He offers to contract for the entire Skeleton of a Mammoth that shall be 64 feet long and 23 in height, deliverable next September in this city. The middle claw of the fore foot is 7 feet 8 inches from its extreme point to where it joins the foot; and in each jaw are 8 enormous grinders, four above and four below; but, he said, his party were unable to discov-
er whether the animal had a tail when lying, or otherwise. He presumes these bones have lain since the flood, in their present condition. He car- ried the tooth to the Museum.
Wonderful Phenomenon.
From the Baltimore Evening Post. The Raleigh Register , by this day's mail, furnishes the following account of an extraordinary phenomenon, which actually appeared to a number of peo- ple in the county of Rutherford, N. Carolina. It was made in the presence of David Dickie, esq. of said county, Jesse Anderson, and the Rev. George Newton, of Buncombe, and Miss Betsy Newton, of Georgia. We present it to our readers, under an impression, that their judgment on this marvellous appearance will be equally, if not more correct than ours.
Patsy Reaves, a widow woman, who lives near the Appalachian Moun- tain, declared, that on the 31st July last, about 6 o'clock P. M. her daugh- ter Elizabeth, about 8 years old, was in the Cottonfield, about 10 poles from the dwelling house, which stands by computation, 6 furlongs from the Chimney Mountain, and that Eliza- beth told her brother Morgan, aged 11 years, that there was a man on the mountain.—Morgan was incredulous at first; but the little girl affirmed it, and said she saw him rolling rocks or picking up sticks, adding that she saw a heap of people. Morgan then went to the place where she was, and call- ing out, said that he saw a thousand or ten thousand things flying in the air. On which, Polly, daughter of Mrs. Reaves, aged 14 years, and a negro woman, ran to the children, and called to Mrs. Reaves to come and see what a light yonder was. Mrs. Reaves says, she went about 8 poles towards them, and, without any sen- sible alarm or fright, she turned to- wards the Chimney Mountain, and discovered a very numerous crowd of beings resembling the human species; but could not discern any particular members of the human body, nor dis- tinction of sexes; that they were of every size, from the tallest men down to the least infants; that there were more of the small than of the full grown, that they were all clad with brilliant white raiment, but could not describe any form of their raiment; that they appeared to rise off the side of a mountain south of said rock, and about as high, that a considerable part of the mountain's top was visible a- bove this shining host, that they mov- ed in a northern direction, and collect- ed about the top of the Chimney rock. When all but a few had reached said rock, two seemed to rise together, and behind them about two feet a third rose. These three moved with great agility towards the crowd, and had the nearest resemblance to men of any before seen. While beholding those three, her eyes were attracted by three more rising nearly from the same place, and moving swiftly in the same order and direction. After these, several others rose and went towards the rock.
During this view, which all the spectators thought lasted upwards of an hour, she sent for Mr. Robert Sier- cy, who did not come at first; on a second message sent about fifteen min- utes after the first, Mr. Siercy came; and being now before us, he gives the following relation, to the substance of which Mrs. Reaves agrees.
Mr. Siercy said, when he was com- ing, he expected to see nothing extra- ordinary, and when come, being asked if he saw those people on the moun- tain, he answered, no; but looking a second time, he said he saw more glit- tering white appearances of human kind, than ever he had seen of men at any general review; that they were of all sizes from that of men to infants; that they moved in throngs round a large rock, not far from the chim- ney rock; they were about the height of the chimney rock and moved in a semicircular course, between him and the rock, and so passed along in a southern course between him and the mountain, to the place where Mrs. Reaves said they rose; and that two of a full size went before the general crowd about the space of 20 yards; and as they respectively came to this place, they vanished out of sight, leav- ing a solemn and pleasing impression on the mind, accompanied with a di- minution of bodily strength.
Whether the above be accountable on philosophical principles, or whether it be a prelude to the descent of the Holy City, I leave to the impartially curious to judge.
GEORGE NEWTON.
P. S. The above subscriber has been informed that on the same evening, & about the same time in which the a- bove phenomenon appeared, there was seen by a gentleman of character, who was several miles distant from the place, a bright rainbow, apparently near the Sun, then in the west, where there was no appearance of either clouds or rain; but a haze in the at- mosphere. The public are therefore at liberty to judge, whether the phe- nomenon had any thing supernatural
in it or whether it was some unusual exhalation or moist vapor from the side of the mountain, which exhibited such an unusual rainbow. G. N.
POLITICAL.
It is highly amusing to observe the unbounded resentment which is ex- pressed by some men while their own friends are attacked, when the greatest pleasure is received from the lowest incentives, if they are employed against the men whose opinions they happen to disapprove. Mr. Jefferson has been called by every name which meanness, party intolence, and the utmost malice could suggest. And this language has had as many impressions as party could give it. But if one of the fa- vorites of such men, who delight in scandal, is attacked, then resentment is awakened, and the whole English lan- guage is ransacked to find words to degrade this retaliation, which has been obliged from men who have no disposition for such warfare. That the enemies of Mr. Jefferson should talk of degrading talents, and misre- presenting good writing, is astonishing to all who impute to party common honesty. ( Salem Register. )
On Monday the 1st inst. the prin- ter of the Republican Farmer was com- plimented with an attachment from John R. Landon, sheriff of Litchfield County, for three thousand dollars. The suit is brought before Litchfield County Court, on the 4th Tuesday of inst. September; and is grounded up- on a supposed defamation of his char- acter as sheriff, in his conduct towards Seleck Osborn. The printer of this paper has heard of fines inflicted upon Osborn and Ashley, to the amount of 700 dollars; of the verdict of the Ju- ry against Babcock, for 1000 dollars; against William Hart, for 2300 dol- lars; and of the imprisonment of Seleck Osborn, for a time known, only to his oppressors. He anticipates his fate with resignation, and is happy in the reflection, that although he has not the honor of being one of first in suffering, yet he trusts in God, he may be one of the last. If the hard earn- ings of many years laborious industry must be swept away, and a pendant family be rendered wretched, for the purpose of crushing a republican press; yet he will not “bend the knee to Ba- al,” nor “fall down and worship the golden image” of oppression.

THE FEDERALISTS.
A PERIOD of more than five years has now elapsed, since the Lead- ers of this Party were compelled, by the indignant voice of a much injured and insulted People, to abandon the Helm of State. They, however, flat- tered themselves with soon regaining their lost Authority and Influence.— To effect which, it was considered ne- cessary to destroy the Popularity of their Successors, and particularly that of the President. A number of mer- cenary Editors were employed to “write down the Administration;” and the American Character has been dis- graced by the vile and infamous Cal- umnies which have issued from these Jacobine Presses. The virtuous and en- lightened part of our Citizens, howev- er, saw, with indignation, these base attempts to injure the Character of their virtuous and patriotic Chief Magistrate; and, at the late Presiden- tial Election, he was re-elected by the almost unanimous voice of the nation. Persuaded, from this strong Proof of public Opinion, that neither Calumny nor Misrepresentation would produce the effect which they expected, they have found it necessary to change their mode of Attack. The most insidious arts, that can possibly be imagined, have been practised to foment Division among the Republicans. Unfortu- nately, these vile Machinations have been too successful. By availing themselves of the Schism among the Republicans in Pennsylvania, they have gained an Ascendancy in the Councils of that State, to which their numbers by no means entitle them.
It is to be regretted, that, for some time past, the Republicans appear to have been lulled into a fatal Security. They have not sufficiently estimated either the Numbers or the Resources of their political Opponents. They have not reflected that the Federal Party are still numerous, and that they are closely united, and act on all occasions like a Machine which can be put in motion and stop'd again, by a single Person. They have not reflect- ed, that this Party have, at their dis- posal, more than one half of the Presses in the U. S. In a word, they have not reflected, that this Party have many other powerful Engines to pro- mote their views; such as, most of the Banks, and all the Agents or British Merchants in this Country. These Considerations ought to show the Ne- cessity of still viewing the Federalists, as Opponents worthy of Republican Vigilance and Jealousy.
Republicans, Your Camp is still surrounded by implacable and irre- concilable Enemies. They have long since rejected the Olivebranch, and des- troyed the Cup of Reconciliation from their Lips. Many of them have been re- tained in Office; but, even among these, are to be found venomous Vipers, who are ready to sting to death those by whom they are fostered.—The Fact is, that this Junta have sworn eternal Hatred to the President, and to every other Person, who, like him, has uniformly adhered to the severe Max- ims of Democracy. With certain Characters, they will no doubt unite; I mean, with Traitors and Apostates— with these honorable Gentlemen, they are willing to form “an Union of all honest men.” But, view their Conduct towards firm and decided Republicans, and it must convince ev- ery candid Person, that they have no desire to harmonize with the Friends of the Administration. The Die is therefore cast; and it is to be hoped that the Republicans will never make any further overtures to this implaca- ble Faction; but that they will, in fu- ture, act with a degree of Firmness and Decision, worthy of the glorious Cause for which they so nobly con- tended.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1806.
FROM SPAIN.
Capt. Shattuck, who arrived here on Wednesday, sailed from Cadiz on the 15th of Aug. On the 10th, an express came to Cadiz, with informa- tion of the conclusion of a General Peace. It was said, the Preliminaries were signed at Paris on the 31st of July. There were 15 sail of the line lying at Cadiz (French and Spanish) ready for sea. A grand feu de joie was fired from the ships and forts soon after the receipt of the news of peace. The people were almost distracted with joy at the intelligence.
It was reported, that the French troops in Naples had made an attempt against Sicily, and been defeated with great loss.
There were no rumours respecting the posture of the American negotia- tion with Spain. The frigate Constitu- tion had been at Cadiz, but not be- ing admitted to practice, had failed, for Lisbon, as was supposed.

BLOCKADE OF VENICE.
The London Gazette of the 29th July, contains the following official notice, viz.
Downing Street, July 26, 1806.
The King has been pleased to cause it to be signified by the Rt. Hon. Charles James Fox, His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for For- eign Affairs, to the Ministers of friend- ly and neutral powers residing at this Court, that His Majesty has judged it expedient (for the protection of his subjects, and the annoyance of his en- emies) to establish the most rigorous blockade at the entrance of the port of Venice, and to maintain and en- force the same in the strictest manner, according to the usages of war ac- knowledged and observed in similar cases; and that the port of Venice must be considered as being in a state of blockade; and that from this time all the measures authorised by the laws of nations, and the respective treaties between His Majesty and the different friendly and neutral powers, will be adopted and executed with re- spect to all vessels attempting to vio- late the said blockade.
The above was published in the London Gazette only four days be- fore Lord Lauderdale sat out from London for Paris. Its aspect is to the full as anti-pacific, as the departure of his Lordship is favorable to peace.
FRENCH SQUADRON.
Since our last, we have heard of the fate of another of the French squadron, recently off our coast. The Norfolk Herald of the 16th states, that on Sunday the 14th September, the British frigate Melampus, of 36 guns, Capt. Poyntz, descried to the southward of Cape Henry, a line of battle ship, dismasted; to which she immediately gave chase, and ran ashore on Gurnituck, [a bar off the Coast of N. Carolina] about 30 miles S. of the Cape; where, after taking out the officers and men, (amounting to about 600) she was set fire to, and totally destroyed. She proved to be L'Impetueux, of 74 guns, Capt. Le- vayer Belair, and one of Willaumez's squadron.
The Captain of the Melampus pro- posed to the French Consul at Norfolk, to receive the crew of L'Impetueux, and receipt for them as prisoners of war; which he refused, alleging that they were captured within the jurisdic- tion of the United States.
We understand, says the Baltimore Telegraph, that at the time of the gale which proved so disastrous to the French Fleet, admiral Jerome Bon- aparte was in the Veteran, which vessel has not since been heard of. Cour.

FRENCH NAVY. A late London paper states the French Navy to consist of 4 ships of 120 guns, 2 ships of 80 guns, 45 ships of 74 guns, & 43 Frigates.
Allowing this statement to be correct, (and we suspect it to be below the truth,) it affords an instructive lesson to Americans. France, with more than fifty ships of the line and nearly as many frigates, supported by what is left of the navies of Spain and Holland, has had her commerce cut up by the roots, her colonies wrested from her, and her coasts infested and insulted—her fleets are sought in every sea, are sought wherever they are found, and beaten in every battle. How futile, then, must be any attempt of infant America to contend with the gigantic naval force of Britain,—to meet the shark of the ocean in its native element.—To more effectual weapons than powder and ball must we resort to do ourselves justice with Britain—while the vitals of Spain may be sought by the American bayonet in the mountains of Potosi, or on the plains of Mexico.
(Trenton True American.) The Bomb-Ketches Aetna , Lt. Jones; and Vesuvius , Lt. Leonard; with Gun-boats No. 11, Lt. Bainbridge, and No. 12, Lt. Dexter, now lying in this harbor, will we are told, sail for New-Orleans. Boston paper. On the 12th July, a Spanish fleet of six sail of the line, from Carthagena, was seen chasing two British frigates off that port:—And off Toulon, in July, a French fleet of four sail of the line, and four frigates, were seen, just out from that port.

GAZETTE MARINE LIST. An Extract of a letter from Core-Sound, near Newbern states that numbers of pieces of wrecks were seen there, and that four vessels were ashore at Bogue Sound—A brig from Turks-Island, loaded with salt belonging to Connecticut, upset a little before she reached the shore, and out of eighteen persons on board fifteen perished. None of their names are known except that of Capt. Cannon, of the sch. Lilly . Another of the vessels lost was a Schooner belonging to Norfolk, from the Havana—the other two northern vessels. Boston paper.
A Charleston paper of the 5th inst. gives the following distressing account: "The Schooner Patty , Capt. Gere, failed from this port, for St. Mary's on the 26th July last, but after being at sea some days sprang a leak, and was obliged to put into Savannah to repair, from whence she failed on the 18th of August. On the 18th, being in sight of their port of destination, the wind came on to blow fresh at N. W. and in the course of that night and the next day, the gale increasing, they were driven into the Gulf, and the vessel laboring very hard, sprung a leak; in order to lighten her they threw over such heavy articles as were upon deck, and at last were compelled to cut away both the masts. The leak increasing, all hands were employed at the pumps, and in bailing with buckets, &c. But notwithstanding every exertion was made, she sunk about 4 o'clock, P. M. on the 23rd of August. When the vessel went down, there were 18 persons on board, all of whom, after great exertions, and many "hair-breadth escapes," succeeded in getting into a small boat, excepting one, Miss Maria Osborn, of St. Mary's, who was unfortunately drowned. Among those on board the boat were four ladies, viz. Mrs. Paris, Mrs. Dunham, both very aged; Mrs. Gere, wife of the captain, and Miss Eliza Blew, of St. Mary's. After remaining in this hazardous situation, with little or nothing to subsist upon, for 11 days and nights; during which time the mate, (Mr. John Claib) this city and a black servant girl, died, being worn out with abstinence and fatigue; they were providentially taken up by the brig Polly , Capt. Hubble from Campeachy on board the brig. Mrs. Paris and one of the seamen died—the rest, it was hoped, would recover."
BRITISH JAMAICA FLEET. It has been ascertained that the rich homeward bound Jamaica fleet, suffered in the August storm. Several have been known to have foundered; others have arrived at Bermuda, and some in the United States. Capt. Knight, arrived at Newburyport, informs, that on the 10th Sept. lat. 36. 36. lon. 68. 47, he fell in with the remains of the fleet, then only 43 sail in number. Nine it was ascertained had foundered; and fears were entertained that of the other 88, the principal part had shared the same fate. Le Franchie, of 26 guns, Capt. Dashwood, one of the convoy, being dismasted, put into Bermuda for repairs.

10,000 Dollars!
THE last chance for obtaining Ten Thousand Dollars, in Piscataqua Bridge Lottery; as the Bridge is now put in such complete repair as to last for years, this will be the LAST CLASS for the present. And as Tickets rise to-morrow, you are all invited to repair immediately to the Bookstore of C. PEIRCE, and purchase. There are many good Fat Prizes besides the 10,000 dollars.
C. PEIRCE anticipates that he now has the highest Prize in his possession, but as he does not exactly know the number, (or he should certainly keep it himself,) he therefore offers the whole for sale at five dollars each—if applied for this day. But after to-day, as the chance is so good for all who purchase of him, he must have 5. 50. Remember, delays are dangerous. Brick Bookstore, Daniel Street, Sept. 30, 1806.

The Philadelphia Invitation.
[At Philadelphia, particularly among the Quakers, it is customary, on the death of a friend, to send messengers all thro' the city, to invite the inhabitants to the funeral.]
A Foreigner's answer to such an Invitation.
AWAY! away! I'm out of patience With such preposs'rous invitations.— When feasting is on foot, you flight us, And but to funerals invite us!
REPLY.
Read what's in holy writ express'd,* Nor falsely think we slight you, Though to a sun's rai, not a feast, We ev'ry day invite you. 'Tis better' (as the Scriptures show) To lay aside all jesting, And 'to the house of mourning go, 'Than to the house of feasting. 'Sorrow' (the sacred writings add) 'Is better far than laughter: 'For, when the countenance is sad, 'The heart grows better after. 'Fools only,' on vain pleasure bent, And wisdom's dictates scorning, 'The noisy house of mirth frequent; 'Wise men, the house of mourning.'
ANECDOTES.
An Attorney, notorious for forming disturbances in hope of gaining fresh clients seeing an old pot companion scuffling with another, lately, advised him by all means to pull off his clothes, "for if you get them torn to pieces, what will you do then?" "Do I?" cried the other, "why as you do every day—kick up a dust for a new suit."
