MISCELLANY.
The following is the address of the Publishers of the American edition of Rollin's Ancient History, and well explains the excellencies, of this highly useful family work.
TO THE PUBLIC.
IF the study of human nature be of any importance to mankind—if the splendid achievements of antiquity be worthy remembrance in latter times—the utility of the excellent work, for which these proposals are issued, must be universally acknowledged.
The high price of Rollin's Ancient History has prevented its being in some measure an inmate of the public and private libraries of this country. The publishers of the proposed edition promise to have it accurately printed, with a new type, upon good paper; and as most of the engravings in the English editions are so badly executed as to be a blemish instead of an ornament to the work, they intend to give only the maps and such of the other plates as are absolutely necessary to elucidate the subject, and aid the reader in his researches; which will of course render the set considerably cheaper, but not inferior to foreign editions.
Mr. Rollin was a writer, who improved and adorned every subject of his pen. His graceful and captivating style seems to impart beauty to nature, and majesty to truth; and his history has for such a series of years withstood the attacks of subtle criticism, that it begins itself to claim respect for its antiquity, and excellence by prescription. For the extent of his knowledge, the grandeur and variety of his topics, and the happy talent of conveying pleasure with his instructions, Mr. Rollin has rarely been equalled. He sometimes carries you to the field of Mars, and terrifies you with founds of battle, cries of desolation, and trophies of conquest. At other times he shows you the infant beginnings of art and science, the small circles in which they moved and gradually widen your view of their expanded improvements. Again, you are transported to the hall of the senate; you listen to its animated debates; grow acquainted with the intricacies of politics; are now exasperated at the tricks of corruption; and now glowing with the ardor of a real patriot.
All descriptions of readers will find their account in consulting the pages of Rollin. The poet may here kindle the lamp of his fancy, borrow figures for imagery, and colour for his diction. The antiquarian may here examine mausoleums without perplexing himself with chronological fables. Here the recluse may visit distant countries without the danger of travelling. The linguist may gather round him the lights of the learned without digging the roots of Asiatic languages. Without toiling among Sanscrit and Arabick records, the civilian may learn the most important parts of eastern jurisprudence. And the divine here sees the connexion between sacred and profane history, observes customs which elucidate and verify the scriptures, and thence is able to establish their divine authority.
Whoever in fact wishes to form any acquaintance with principles of moral and political science; with the powers of the human mind in all stages of improvement; with the doctrines of Philosophers; the arrangement of society; cause of national aggrandizement and degradation; and with the duties of life in their endless diversity,—will here be gratified and enlightened. Here the old are amused with the transactions of other years; the young made wise by the stimulus of noble example; and the existing generation excited to glory by contemplating some of the most beautiful pictures of moral excellence, which were ever exhibited to the view of mankind.
CONDITIONS.
 I. Rollin's Ancient History will be comprised in EIGHT Volumes duodecimo; each volume upon average to contain near 400 pages; the whole to be illustrated with maps and other engravings.  II. The work will be executed with a new type upon good paper; the volumes be bound in blue boards; this method being preferred; as books fresh from the press are not in a condition to be bound in leather.  III. The price to Subscribers will be 75 
Cents a volume, or 6 Dollars a set: to Non-Subscribers, the price will be considerably enhanced.
IV. It is expected the subscribers, will receive their Volumes as fast as they issue from the press and pay for them on delivery; this method will aid the undertaking greatly.
V. Those who subscribe for eight sets, or will procure eight subscribers and be accountable for the pay, shall be entitled to a ninth set gratis.
VI. An Alphabetical list of the Subscribers' Names will be given in the last volume. Subscriptions are received at the Gazette Office.
From the Political Observatory.
Honorable to Gen. Dearborn. An excellent writer at the seat of government, has published several numbers under the signature of Cincinnatus, containing a vast fund of useful information, which our contracted limits alone have prevented our re-publishing—makes the following remarks relative to the War department.
The war department requires a regular attention to numerous details, and a prompt decision upon occurring cases. Whatever may have been the attentions bestowed by Mr. McHenry, his measures were taken with so much tardiness, that the simplest operation was protracted until its utility was nearly lost. His table was soon covered with an accumulation of business; every thing was delayed and much was entirely lost in the heap. The best friends of the administration called aloud for a reform.
This reform was attempted by general Dearborn; with what success the public has long since seen.—With habits directly opposed to those of his predecessor, he has restored the energy and regularity so essential to all military arrangements. With a much smaller sum than allowed under the preceding administration, he has preserved peace on our frontiers and has distributed the force in such a manner as fully to protect the fortifications.—Nor ought it to be omitted that the acquisition of Louisiana has not augmented the army a man, or cost the nation, for that purpose a single cent.
The Centinel at Boston has remarked that "A general ticket is not a bug-bear in New Hampshire." The general ticket of this state, and that of Massachusetts, differed in this essential respect—ours compelled no man to vote beyond the circle of his acquaintance, as all the candidates might be selected from any part of the state.—But in Massachusetts one candidate was to be selected in each congressional district, which compelled the people of Maine to vote for men in Berkshire, of whom they knew as little, as of men in Georgia. If the law prescribing this mode of voting, were designed to make the election depend on the influence of a few individuals upon blind-folded voters, and thus to obtain all their candidates throughout the state, it is but righteous judgment that they should lose the whole.

LAST DISPLAYS OF TERRORISM.
IN the course of the debate in the Legislature of Connecticut, on the question of cashiering the five Justices, a republican member (Samuel Hart, jun. of Berlin) observed as follows: "Two things are necessary to obtain an object—the ability and the disposition; both of these the house possesses—I therefore deem it unnecessary—unavailing, to say any thing on the subject." These remarks were seized with avidity by the federalists and Mr. Hart was charged with an attempt to degrade the dignity of the house! Mr. Hart rose to explain: "He had no intention (he said) of charging the house with a disposition to do wrong; he only alluded to the two political parties which existed in the house, and which he considered as distinctly marked as the lines and boundaries of a county." These remarks, instead of allaying the tempest, only increased it. The federalists became outrageous; the language of Mr. Hart, they said was immodest, indecent, insulting! A loud clamor was raised, and a motion made that unless he would come forward and take back his expressions, he should be publicly reprimanded from the chair!—which was finally carried. In consequence of this resolution, the speaker, the next morning immediately after the roll was called, requested Mr. Hart to rise in his place, in order to receive the reprimand. Mr. Hart did not rise.—

The federalists of that state, alarmed at the increasing strength of republicanism, appear determined to make a persecuting and inquisitorial use of power, before it is finally wrested from them...
But the effort is vain, they may for a moment suppress the freedom of speech, but not of sentiment. Tho' they may for a short season, smother the flame, they cannot extinguish it...

AMHERST, DEC. 11.
BY the attention of our friends at Concord, we are able to lay before our readers the answer of the House to the Governor's Speech. It met with considerable opposition, and was not presented till the latter part of last week.
ANSWER OF THE HOUSE.

We believe that our National Constitution is one of the greatest efforts of human wisdom, and happily calcu-

FIRES: On Monday evening last week another fire broke out in this town, in a barn on the Plains, belonging to Mr. Sherburne, whose loss was considerable. A subscription paper was opened in town for the sufferer's relief, and we have no doubt from the appearance when we last saw it, will be handsomely filled.  There appears to be no doubt on the public mind, that this building was intentionally fired, no candle or light, or fire, having been carried into it on the preceding afternoon or evening.  Danger then exists—incendiaries are about us, and the town is chiefly built of stucco and straw; it behoves the citizens therefore to adopt measures to effectually baffle all base attempts of this nature in future. We have heard with pleasure that the Watch is doubled, but this is thought by many incompetent to the security of the town. If it is, it is hoped a Ward Patrol will immediately be reported to.
In Exeter, on Thursday morning, between the hours of 5 and 6 o'clock, a blacksmith's shop was discovered on fire. The flames communicated to the store of Mr. Ward Clark Dean, which was consumed with a part of the goods. It is supposed this fire originated by accident. The loss is estimated from 3 to 4000 dollars, and was principally felt by Mr. Dean.

CONTENT.
On the wide heath, at early dawn, I trace thy footsteps, gentle power! At noon, retiring from the lawn, I seek thee in the shadowy bower.
When chilling blasts and nightly dews, Warn thee to quit the drooping grove, I woo thee to inspire the muse, Or bless the hours of social love.
And while our offspring, void of guile, Arouse in sportive frolic join; I watch the fond maternal smile Of her whose every joy is mine.
Ah! sweet Contentment! heavenly maid, Wilt thou not hear thy votary's prayer; Nor give up to the silent shade, Nor lose domestic pleasures there.
Vain were the hope: true love defies The joys that reach itself alone, It saddens at another's pain, It glows with rapture not its own.
As the pale orb of Cynthia thrown Is borrowed lustre o'er the night, My soul no native transport knows, It shines but with reflected light.
Come then, dear Goddess, fix thy reign In my lov'd Celia's gentle breast; Chase anxious care, quell murmuring pain, And, blessing her, preserve me blest.
Consumption.—Completely to eradicate this disorder, I will not positively say the following remedy is capable of doing; but I will venture to affirm that a temperate mode of living, (avoiding spirituous liquors wholly) wearing flannel next the skin; and taking every morning, half a pint of new milk, mixed with a wine glass full of the expressed juice of green horse-radish, the complaint will not only be relieved, but the individual shall procure to himself a length of days beyond what its mildest form could give room to hope for. I am myself, Sir, a living witness of the beneficial effects of this agreeable, and though innocent, yet powerful application. Four weeks use of the radish and milk, relieved the pains of my breast; gave me to breathe deep, long, and free; strengthened and harmon- ized my voice; and restored me to a state of better health than I have enjoyed for many years. Gaz. U. S.
N.B. Nothing is so destructive to health as the use of spirituous liquors in the morn- ing, fasting.
The assumed high sounding and num- erous imperial titles of the late First Consul of France, reminds us of a person whom Scipio says he once knew, "whose name, names, or names multitudine, was Cæsar Augustus Gæsar Augustus Adolphus Mark Anthony Timothy Keeling, dancing-master."
