State of New-Hampshire.
In the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and seven.
An act to incorporate the northerly part of New-London and that part of Kearsarge Gore, north of Kearsarge mountain, into a town by the name of Wilmot.
WHEREAS a petition signed by a number of the inhabitants of the northerly part of New-London and Kearsarge Gore, praying to be set off from the said town, and be incorporated into a separate town, has been presented to the General Court, Therefore,
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened,—That all the lands and inhabitants within the following limits, namely—in the northerly part of New-London, beginning at the southeasterly corner of lot number twenty-two, and the southwesterly corner of lot number twenty-one, on the southeasterly line of said New-London, thence running westerly across said New-London on the northerly sides of lots number twenty-two, thirty-five, fifty-four, seventy, seventy-eight, ninety, one hundred and twelve, and one hundred and thirty-one, to Springfield; thence north thirty-nine degrees east to the northeasterly corner of said New-London; thence south twelve degrees east on Danbury and Kearsarge Gore line, to the southeasterly corner of the said New-London; thence south thirty-nine degrees west to the place of beginning. And also all the lands and inhabitants within said Kearsarge Gore north of a straight line beginning at the southwest corner of Andover, thence running westerly to the highest part of said mountain, thence westerly to the northeast corner of lot number fifty-eight, thence on the westerly line of lot fifty-eight to the east line of Sutton—and the same are hereby incorporated into a town by the name of WILMOT, and the inhabitants who now reside or shall hereafter reside within the before-mentioned boundaries, are made and constituted a body politic and corporate, and invested with all the powers, privileges, and immunities which other towns in this State by law are entitled to enjoy—to remain a distinct town, to have continuance and succession forever.

STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, In the House of Representatives, June 18, 1807. The foregoing bill having had three several readings passed to be enacted. Sent up for concurrence, CHARLES CUTTS, Speaker. In Senate, June 18, 1807. This bill having been read a third time was enacted, SAMUEL BELL, President of the Senate. Approved, June 18, 1807. JOHN LANGDON, Governor. A TRUE COPY—Attest. PHILIP CARRIGAIN, Secretary.
THE JEWS —As the Turkish Government will probably be divided between the empires of France, Russia and Austria. In such case it is presumable that the restoration of the Jews to the Holy Land will take place under the auspices of the French Emperor.—His attention to that unfortunate people during the last year, and his promises of his good offices in their behalf in future, indicate his intention of collecting and restoring them; and by thus acting the part, acquiring the reputation of a second Cyrus.
(CIRCULAR) NEW-YORK, FEB. 11, 1808.
The Committee appointed by the Tammany Society, or Columbian Order, of the city of New-York, to make arrangements respecting the Interment of the Relicks of American Seamen, Soldiers and Citizens who perished on board the JERSEY PRISON-SHIP during the Revolutionary War, now lying on the shores of the Wallabout, (Long Island,) beg leave to submit the subject of their appointment to the consideration of the surviving relatives and friends of those unfortunate persons in every part of the United States, and of their enlightened and patriotic fellow-citizens at large.
Various attempts have been made to accomplish this important and interesting object. But individual exertions have hitherto proved incompetent; and the public sensibility, too much occupied by other considerations, has not as yet been sufficiently excited by the appeals that have been made to it.
This indifference, so prevalent to the memory of those of our country's brave defenders, who fell victims to the unrelenting cruelty of her enemies, while it must fill every ingenuous mind with regret, is calculated to fix upon the American nation a charge, which, while they abhor, they at once provoke and justify by their conduct.
Perhaps, in the history of nations, there is no trait of human nature more strongly and clearly delineated, than the impassioned and devout regard which is entertained and exhibited by the survivors of glorious and warlike enterprises, towards the memory of their companions in arms, who, being engaged in the same conflicts, sharing the same dangers, animated by the same love of country, and achieving the same victory, or sustaining the same defeat with themselves, have found an honorable grave. In some countries their bodies have been embalmed; in others monuments have been erected in commemoration of heroic constancy and valor, and their contempt of death: and in all, the memory of their deeds has been perpetuated, their names have been enrolled in the faithful volume of history, and handed down to posterity, and they still live in their virtuous examples, and the immortality of their fame.
Shall America furnish an exception to a custom so firmly established, so rational, so meritorious? Shall it be said—Americans have already forgotten their slaughtered countrymen; that, as they behold the earth still strewed with their bones, they can pass calmly and indifferently by, and refuse them the "tribute of a sigh" and the common rites of interment; and that, while in the full enjoyment of independence, they can shew the most unfeeling neglect to the soil, the treasure, and the blood of which it is the purchase.
The society by which this committee is appointed are encouraged to think that such will not be the case. But that their exertions to rescue from oblivion, and place on an imperishable basis, the memory of a large portion of those who perished in the revolutionary contest, will meet with suitable countenance and support.
They have long indulged the hope, that others to whom the task with equal if not greater propriety belonged, would undertake its execution. They have been anxious to avoid the appearance of an ostentatious display before the public, and would cheerfully have lent their humble aid to any measures which the general or their state government might have adopted on the occasion. Being disappointed in their wishes, and considering that the first and the greatest object of their institution is the promotion of the interests, the welfare and the honor of their country, they have at length resolved to originate measures on this subject.
They have accordingly appointed this committee, and invested them with powers to form a plan for the interment of that portion of the remains of our countrymen, now lying on the shores of Long Island.—The committee have procured from JOHN JACKSON, Esq. on whose farm they were deposited, and where they now lie, a deed of a piece of ground, conspicuously and advantageously situated, being the head of the navy yard, and which will not be affected by any regulations, that may hereafter take place. He has already planted some trees of appropriate description on the spot selected, and has given to the society, permission to inter the bones in such a manner and with such solemnities as they may think proper.
It is considered by the society that no further delay ought to take place. They have accordingly fashioned the plan reported to them, which it is intended shall be carried into effect, as soon as the season will admit.
In the mean time, the relatives and friends of those unfortunate persons, and also our fellow citizens at large, are requested to forward immediately, either to BENJAMIN ROMAIN, Esq. grand faucheur of Tammany society, JOHN JACKSON, Esq. or the chairman of this committee, by mail, or other safe conveyance, such information, as may be in their possession, or knowledge, of the names, places of birth, age rank and families, of those persons; together with such circumstances, respecting each, as may be interesting, particularly such as relate to their situation and sufferings on board said ship.—This information is indispensably necessary, as it is contemplated to erect a monument, emblematical in its design and execution, and descriptive of the events about to be commemorated. It is also important in a historical point of view, and will be useful to the present generation, and to posterity.
A procession will take place composed of different societies, public bodies, and the citizens at large, and military honors will be
*The number of American prisoners who perished on board the Jersey prison ship is supposed to be 11,500.

paid on the occasion—An Eulogium will be delivered on the assembly by a suitable character, due notice of which will be given to the public.
As it is desirable that the monument contemplated to be erected, should exhibit a finished specimen of American taste and patriotism, and will consequently be expensive in its materials and workmanship, such persons as may be desirous of having the names of their relatives or friends who are intended to be commemorated, engraven upon it, and those who may have it in their power and feel desirous to promote this undertaking, are requested to forward their contributions to either of the three persons before mentioned, or to authorise some person in the city of New-York to subscribe for the purpose in their behalf. The amount of this expense it is estimated need not exceed ten thousand dollars.
The Committee entertain a confidence that this invitation will meet with the approbation and compliance of every friend to the cause in which many fell a sacrifice, and many who still survive, suffered and bled.
By order of the Committee, JACOB VAN DEVOORT, Chairman. ROBERT TOWNSEND, Secretary. N.B. It is requested that the letters of information may be forwarded without delay, post paid.
COMMON QUESTIONS AND PROPER ANSWERS.
When did leading federalists first take up Aaron Burr?
When he tried to climb over Mr. Jefferson's head to the Presidency.
When did they discard him?
On his killing their idol, Hamilton, in a duel.
When did they a second time take him into their favor?
As soon as he was discovered plotting against the "Peace, Union, and Liberty" of the United States.
When did federal papers first denounce General Wilkinson as a Traitor?
The moment when he defeated the Conspiracy of Burr.
When did Randolph first accuse Wilkinson of treason?
A day or two after Wilkinson had challenged him, and he had refused to meet him.
Did Wilkinson appear to be afraid that his conduct should be investigated?
No—he has often challenged his enemies to investigation, and finally solicited the President an enquiry.
Which is it alleged Wilkinson's treason took place?
Ten or fifteen years ago.
Was nothing said about it at the time?
Yes—General Washington was informed of it while he was President, but appears to have convinced himself of his innocence—for he continued him in office. President Adams was also acquainted with it—and some investigation took place, the result of which was an explicit declaration that he believed him to be innocent, and to deserve well of his country.
Was any information ever lodged against him with Mr. Jefferson?
It is believed there was none.
What are Wilkinson's politics?
He is thought to be a Republican now; but during the administration of Washington and that of Adams he was a warm federalist.
How looks the aspect of our affairs with Britain?
Very much like War.
But is it said her disposition is pacific?
Yes—this can be proved, if plundering our vessels, impressing our seamen, massacring our citizens, trampling on our flag, insulting our government, blockading our harbors, bribing and urging the Indians to war with us, reinforcing their army in Canada, fortifying in Nova-Scotia, &c. &c. can be received as proof of a pacific disposition!
But she has sent a Minister to give us satisfaction?
Satisfaction!—She should have hung Whitby , and Berkley , and Humphries , at the Yardarm, degraded Lowe , recalled her Jaguars from our coasts, restored our poor suffering seamen, fixed pensions on the widows and orphans of our citizens basely murdered by her myrmidons, dispersed the Indians which she has collected and armed on our frontiers, ordered her officers and subjects to respect our rights both at sea and on shore, and then sent a Minister to tell us what she had done, and assured us of good treatment in future—this would have looked like giving us satisfaction—As it is, it looks too much like her treating at Constantinople & Copenhagen .
How long will the Embargo last?
Until Foreign Nations do us justice.
But will it not injure ourselves?
In some measure it will—but not so much perhaps as any other step that could be taken under existing circumstances—and while it harms us comparatively little, it will absolutely ruin our enemies, unless they do us justice. And every true hearted American would rather suffer a few inconveniences for a time, than to relinquish important rights forever.
But there is a great noise made about it?
So there is about every beneficial measure—The friends of Britain rail against it because it injures their favorite—the enemies of the administration clamour against it, to answer party purposes.
But some say the Embargo was dictated by France?
But observe, first, that no proof or probability can be adduced of this—and, second, that it originates with the agents or adherents of Britain, whose business and interest it is to create a breach between us and France, that we may be driven to an alliance with Britain.
And would not an alliance with Britain be advantageous to us?
Aik the nations who have been in alliance with her! Aik Austria, Prussia, Russia, Sweden, Spain, Holland, Italy, &c. what were the advantages they derived from their respective alliances with Britain. As well might a hale and prosperous youth be wedded to a profligate and abandoned prostitute, borne down with debts, eaten up with disease, and verging rapidly to dissolution!
Shall we then form an alliance with France?
NO—let us stand upon our own footing—let us maintain our rights firmly against all aggressions, proceed they from whom or whence they will—resolving with an humble reliance upon the good providence of God, and a determination properly to use the means he has put into our hands, "rather to die freemen than to live slaves"—rather to die exterminated from the face of the earth, than to be blasted out of an honorable existence as a "FREE, SOVEREIGN AND INDEPENDENT NATION!"
Extract from Mr. Austin's Memorial to the Legislature of Massachusetts.
The Memorial of Mr. Austin to the Legislature having excited a general enquiry as to the nature of the subject, we are requested to insert the following concluding paragraphs as embracing the object contemplated.
"Your applicant is desirous to state to your Honors, that no improper motives of personal resentment urge this application, nor any wish to weaken the Constitutional energy of the Judiciary;—but, conceiving that the doctrine advanced in the charge referred to, gives a latitude fatal to the peace of society, does respectfully request, that such constitutional measures may be adopted, as will forever explode the doctrine of suspicion from the Criminal Code of this Commonwealth, either by the removal of such judicial officers as promulgate the principles, or in such way and manner as appear most efficacious to secure the lives of the citizens—The protection of human life being the great object contemplated in the Civil Code, "necessity" can be the only legal plea to warrant Homicide."
"Your applicant, in making this representation, feels himself discharging a duty to society, being conscious that the principles advanced in this application correspond with the laws of God, and the spirit of our Constitution. If his request is not granted, he shall console himself with the rectitude of his intentions, and shall anticipate with anxious solicitude the dangerous tendency of a doctrine advanced by a character so pre-eminent in his Judicial station."
Party feelings may for a season reconcile men to many improprieties, and encourage the greatest outrages on humanity; but the considerate part of the community will become disgusted with the perpetrator of such atrocities by a daily exhibition of the abhorrent object. Is there a sober person in society, who can view with complacency a man practising within the Court of Justice, who in the estimation of nine tenths of the citizens, is a murderer; or can a Jury who feel themselves under the solemnities of an oath, hear with composure a plea coming from one who must be considered as chargeable with the blood of a fellow citizen?—There is no court in Europe that can exhibit such a horrid spectacle. It is impossible that heaven can prosper a county or State which admits such a violation of all decency, and suffers its Judiciary to be polluted with the presence of such a culprit.—Can any respectability be ever attached to a court which suffers such a disgusting object to be placed before the citizens, when assembled to administer justice and judgment according to the laws of Christian society? How can a sentence of condemnation be ever passed in the presence of a man, whose guilt is ten fold more aggravated than the criminal at the bar?
The Jews in their madness and under the influence of those who never forgave our Saviour for the denunciation of "Woe unto you, ye lawyers," prevailed on an unjust judge to release "Barabbas the murderer;" but they never became so vitiated as to suffer him to become a pleader of law before the Jewish Sanhedrim. Neither Turks, Jews, nor Infidels, would suffer the sanctity of their judiciary tribunals to be thus violated.—Even the lawyers of Jerusalem would have been ashamed to associate with Barabbas, especially if he had become so universally obnoxious as to be suspended in effigy in various counties of Judea. As we never heard from him after his acquittal, we have "reasonable grounds to believe" that he ran away, and, like Judas, "hanged himself." It is not probable he ever appeared again in public, or was admitted to associate with the Chief Priests, Scribes and Pharisees. Barabbas took care to keep out of the way of the multitude, as he knew he deserved the gallows. We have also "reasonable grounds to suspect" he never made a visit to Pilate, the Chief Justice.

Mr. G. W. Campbell, from the committee of ways and means, reported "a bill making appropriations for the support of the MILITARY establishment of the United States during the year 1808." Read twice, and referred to a committee of the whole on Wednesday.
Mr. Campbell also reported "a bill to amend an act entitled an act to regulate the collection of DUTIES on imports and tonnage within the territory ceded to the U. States by the treaty of the 30th April, 1803 between the United States and the French republic, and for other purposes." Read twice, and referred to a committee of the whole on Wednesday.
The house went into committee of the whole on the bill making provision for extinguishing debts due from the U. States.—[This bill has been before the house for several days, and has occasioned considerable debate, but no progress has yet been made in it. Its object is particularly to satisfy the claims of the OLD SOLDIERS of the revolutionary war, which are now barred by the act of limitation.] While this bill was under discussion a message was received from the President of the United States, when the committee rose, reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again.
The message was then read; it contained a letter from Mr. Lear, our Consul at Algiers, informing that the differences between this country and the Dey had been amicably settled. There were some other letters accompanying the message. They were, on motion of Mr. Quincey, referred to the same committee to whom was referred the President's message of the 9th instant, on the same subject.
The house again went into committee of the whole on the "bill making provision for extinguishing debts due from the U. States." After some debate, the committee rose, reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again.
The house went into committee of the whole on the "bill extending the right of suffrage in the Indiana Territory." The bill was agreed to without debate, and it was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
The house went into committee of the whole on the "bill for allowing the importation of old copper free of duty." The bill was agreed to without debate, and it was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
Mr. Dawson, from the committee to whom was referred so much of the President's message as relates to our military and naval establishments, presented the following resolution, as a report in part.
Resolved, that the sum of _____ dollars be appropriated to enable the president of the United States, to procure by purchase, or by causing the same to be manufactured _____ stand of arms for the use of the United States to be deposited in safe and suitable places."
This resolution was ordered to be referred to the committee who reported it, for the purpose of bringing in a bill.
Mr. Dawson offered the following resolution, which was ordered to lie on the table; "Resolved that a committee be appointed on the part of this house, jointly with such committee as may be appointed on the part of the senate, to consider and report what further business is necessary to be done during the present session, and at what time it will be proper for congress to adjourn."
TUESDAY, FEB. 16.
Mr. Stanford laid upon the table a resolution for the regulation of business in the House, which he should call up in the event of the rules and orders not being soon considered.
The several bills yesterday ordered to be read a third time were severally read and passed, except the bill concerning contracts; On which Mr. Troup having called the yeas and nays, after some discussion, it was on motion of Mr. Southard re-committed to a committee of the whole for amendment of the detail.
Mr. Dawson reported a bill for procuring a certain number of arms; which was twice read and referred to a committee of the whole to-morrow.
On motion of Mr. Blackledge, Resolved, That the committee of Ways and Means be directed to enquire whether any, and if any, what alterations are necessary to be made in the several acts fixing the salaries and emoluments of the collectors of duties on imports and tonnage, and that the committee be authorized to report by bill or otherwise.
A bill from the senate for erecting a lighthouse, and placing buoys at the places therein mentioned, was twice read and referred to a committee of the whole.
The bill for the relief of Samuel Whiting was ordered to a third reading.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18.
The House went into committee of the whole on the bill from the senate to increase the MILITARY peace establishment, [This bill authorises the President to raise one regiment of infantry, one battalion of cavalry.]
Mr. Chandler moved to strike out the words "one regiment of infantry." He said it would be observed that this bill authorised the President to increase each company, whenever he should think proper, to 100 men each. This would empower him to add 2088 men to the military peace establishment at his discretion. He was opposed to giving him this power.
Mr. Fisk said the house had been some time in session, and yet for aught that appeared, we might be as unprepared to meet an enemy six months hence as we are now. Our frontiers were unprotected, and yet we remain quiet, without taking any measures of defence or precaution. Besides, he believed we had as much to apprehend now from the conspiracy of Burr, as we had a year ago.
The gentleman said the bill was objectionable, because it authorised the President to increase the peace establishment at his discretion. There was no more danger in this, than there was in authorising him to call out the detachment of 100,000 men.
Mr. Chandler said he believed there was a bill on the table which contemplated the raising of men on the war establishment. He would rather see 20,000 men raised on the war establishment, than 1000 on the peace establishment.
Mr. Varnum had been always opposed to a large increase of the military peace establishment; but he believed the situation of the country at present required it. The house had been called together to take measures for the defence of the country; and what had they done? To be sure, they had appropriated some thousands of dollars for the building of gun boats and fortifications—By the acquisition of Louisiana, we had now numerous additional posts to defend—on the west and northwest, too we were threatened with a war with the Indians. We ought also to have a larger force at the mouth of the Mississippi.—What would be our situation, if New-Orleans should be taken by an enemy, and joined by a number of domestic traitors?—It was true we had 100,000 men ready; but their time would expire on the 18th April, and the President had no authority to call out another detachment. If they were unwilling to do anything for the defence of the nation, it would be better for Congress to adjourn and go home.
Mr. Dawson moved that the committee rise, report progress and ask leave to sit again. Considerable debate took place on this motion; but it was carried.
BALTIMORE, FEB. 20.
FROM GIBRALTAR.
We learn, that ten sail of Americans have been taken into Algiers, by the Spaniards, for attempting to enter Gibraltar; and that several Americans had been condemned (it is not said where) for going and coming to ports up the Mediterranean.
We also learn, that Col. Lear, our Consul at Algiers, has drawn on Mr. Gravino, consul at Gibraltar, for 3500 dollars, to pay one year's tribute to Algiers; which was accepted. The Algerines have six corsairs out after Danes and Swedes, as their tribute had not been paid.
The embargo and non-importation act have given rise to a manufacturing spirit in the city of Baltimore, the exercise of which will, if carried into effect, supply the state of Maryland with cotton and woolen manufactures of home-spun make, which will eventually tend to exclude the consumption of those of foreign origin.—The spirit of enterprise has, we are told, already manifested itself by a desire of a number of citizens to purchase shares in the Union Manufacturing Company of Maryland, even in its infant and unincorporated state.
The company's capital stock is to consist of one million of dollars, divided into twenty thousand shares of fifty dollars each, one thousand of which shares to be referred to be subscribed for by the legislature as the property of the state. The company are to commence operations whenever five thousand shares shall be subscribed for. In order to discountenance a spirit of monopoly, there are allotments of shares for each county, to be subscribed for on the same day in the several counties of the state.
The concerns of the company are entrusted to the care of a president and twelve directors, chosen by the stockholders by ballot. The president & directors are to use their endeavours to procure of the legislature an act of incorporation.
The articles of association are limited in duration to the year one thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight, unless an act of incorporation shall be sooner obtained.
The internal regulations of the institution are unfolded in a plan of association comprising nineteen articles.—Balt. Amer.
The legislature of N. York have passed an act, directing 3700 stands of arms to be deposited at different places on the Northern and Western frontiers of that State, with ammunition, and pieces of artillery.
Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1808.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By an arrival at New-York, London papers to the 6th January 1808, have been received.—The last decree of Bonaparte, and the late orders of the British King in Council, have created much consternation in all the commercial parts of Europe.—To obviate some of its expected evils in France, the French Minister of the Interior has published a long letter on the subject; the principal object of which appears to be to encourage the French people to bear with patience their threatened deprivations.—There did not appear the smallest prospect, that either power would repeal or relax the rigor of their measures.
The British King has published an answer to the late Russian Manifesto.—It is a well-written and spirited State Paper. At the last dates the King enjoyed his usual health.
The last accounts say, that an embargo had been expected in England, and that ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN AMERICAN VESSELS had been ordered in there, for being bound to French ports and those of her allies!!!
Letters from England by the Romp, seem to despair of any accommodation taking place with America. So strong was this impression, that the Romp has come out without a single passenger, or packet of goods; and the American vessels generally in England, were preparing to fail in ballast.
The account before given of the emigration of the Portuguese Government to the Brazils, is confirmed.—They were accompanied by four sail of British men of war, under commodore Moore.
It was stated some time since, that the Prince of Benevento, (Talleyrand) had arrived in Holland; and that King Louis, was to repair to Paris—These are confirmed with the addition, that the mild Louis is to be the future King of tame Portugal; and the energetic Talleyrand the new sovereign of restless Holland.
Expeditions from England were failing or preparing; but the late tempestuous weather has retarded and deranged some of them.
The hopes of negotiation built on the frequency of flags of true between France and England were illusory.—We believe the dispatches brought by them, were mere orders for the Austrian Minister to quit England.
Four camps of 15,000 men each, are forming in Ireland, to give the French a due reception, should they attempt to invade Ireland.
The belligerent nations of Europe seem determined that there shall be no neutrals. Their ambition grasps at universal dominion. The perfidious and unprincipled rulers of England had begun a new system of plundering all nations that would not engage in a cause so desperate as her's—Copenhagen fell a sacrifice to her villainy,—and Bonaparte unwilling to be an inactive spectator of advantages gained by his enemy in this manner, has followed her example, and drove the royal family of Portugal from their throne—they have fled to the Brazils, and in the more peaceable territories of Southern America, sought a refuge from the convulsions of Europe. The commerce of this country is excluded from the Ocean: Bonaparte has retaliated upon England's retaliating decrees, and our defenceless merchant vessels must inevitably fall a prey to the rapacity of one of the powers, if they were allowed to venture on the ocean. Under these circumstances—in the present unhappy situation of the whole civilized world,—the wisdom of Congress in laying an embargo, can only be doubted by those mad and unreflecting opposers of our government, on whom the voice of reason has no influence; or those mean and cringing parasites of England, who would sacrifice our rights to her emolument. Never before did the federal faction appear so destitute, even during the scenes of unblushing iniquity in '98; as at the present crisis. Now when our independence has been assailed, our honor insulted, and even our domestic liberties threatened by enemies without as well as traitors within; to see a party who have numbers of prints at command as the vehicles of their dastardly advice to an injured community, using every exertion, practising every art of duplicity to blind the public, to stifle their indignation and hush their loud demands for satisfaction—is a spectacle painful in the extreme to a true American—a spectacle, which God grant may not long meet our eyes. Agis.
"How sleep the brave who sink to rest?"
To hand to posterity the memory of martyrs sacrificed to oppression and tyranny, is incumbent upon those who, gloriously bled, suffered and died in the service of their country, and in the glorious cause of liberty. There are yet many living witnesses of the cruelty and barbarity exercised upon the unfortunate victims whose bones have, for many years, mouldered upon the shore of Long Island. With a laudable and patriotic zeal, the Tammany Society or Columbian Order have resolved to erect a monument over the bones which have been gathered, commemorative of the scenes which occurred on board the Jersey prison ship at the Wallabout. Their circular will be read with attention, as the execution of the projects should concern every individual whose heart recoils from cruelty, and who feels a generous glow of sensibility for the sufferings experienced by those patriots who assisted in the achievement of independence.
Public Advertiser
The annual revenue of New-York is 229,000 dls principally interest. The state capital in stocks, debts, &c. is 3,646,863.
On the 26th of Dec. last, the Secretary of War wrote in the name of the President, to the executives of the different States, to have the drafted militia formed into Brigades, and officered. Has this requisition been complied with in any one instance? All our patriotism and spirit in reality seems to produce nothing but talk. We boast of our strength and that satisfies us.

ELECTIONEERING.
The times which are to come are big with events of great moment. A portentous cloud hangs lowering over our future prospects. Is this then, Republicans, a season for idleness and inactivity? Will you unprovided for the storm, sleep unconcerned upon your oars? Be assured that your enemies are watchful: and that they will make you repent the time, when you fancied yourselves so secure of your station that all exertion was unnecessary.
Rouse, Republicans! from your slumber! "The Philistines be upon thee, Sampson." Let no mercenary Delilah, in a season of unsuspicious security, deprive you of your hours and your power; and compel you to wear the manacles of bondage, & "to grind in the prison house" of your enemies. [Observer.]

The British Government has been often held up to our view as a model of perfection. A few facts will show how well it deserves this character.
A late intelligent traveller in England after long observation and research, gives it as unqualified, That in England upon an average, ninety-nine toll for the comfort of one; or in other words, that there is but one in a hundred that lives comfortably.
That one tenth part of the whole population of England subsists upon Paris aid.
That of the children of the Poor in the larger cities it is computed that one third fall victims to Hunger and Cold, and the disease brought on by want.
It is a truth, that among the laboring poor of England, the luxury of meat is untasted from year to year!
It is a truth, that a week's wages will barely pay for a bushel of wheat!
It is a truth, that this extreme and general poverty produces more capital crime in England than in all the rest of the world.
Cobbett, well known for his hatred of Republicanism, and his devotion to Monarchy, and whose testimony therefore may fairly be taken in its fullest extent, declares, That the number of Paupers in England exceeds one million, or one-eighth part of the whole population!
That the Poor-Taxes of England & Wales amount to more than twenty-three millions of dollars a year!—almost twice as much as the whole revenue of the United States!
(And it is worth remembering by the way, that the salaries and perquisites of the Royal Family, which of course come out of the People's earnings, amount meanwhile to between three and four millions of dollars a year!)
Cobbett further declares, that in England "every laborer having a family is a pauper"—that "a man with a wife and four small children cannot out of his labor possibly provide them and himself with the means of living." "I do not mean, says he, that they cannot live comfortably—for to 'comfort' such men have long ago bid farewell—but I assert, and am ready to prove, that he cannot provide them, without parish aid, with a sufficiency of food—not to satisfy their cravings—but to sustain life!"
We pity, and well we may, the hard and scanty fare, severe toil, and cruel treatment of the Negroes in the West-India islands—yet their condition is enviable when compared with the condition of Laborers in England, as Cobbett boldly avers—His own words are—"The Negro Slaves in the West Indies are in every respect better off than the laboring poor in England: they are fed better; they are lodged better; they suffer much less from the inclemency of the weather; they have a far greater portion of surgical and medical assistance; they are (I speak generally) as kindly treated by their masters; they work not half as hard; they have a hundred times more leisure time; &c. &c. and he considers it undeniable, that "there is more misery, more human suffering, arising from want and hard treatment in the single parish of St. Margaret (Westminster) than in all the British West India Islands put together!"
Such fellow-citizens, are the bitter fruits of that accursed system of government, which too many in our country approve and applaud, and too few view with just abhorrence and detestation!
While the one in a hundred, who might be benefitted by exchanging our free and happy system of Government for the oppressive and distressful one of Britain, are laboring assiduously to undermine and overturn ours, to erect that upon its ruins; the ninety-nine who would assuredly be oppressed and impoverished by such a change, appear almost totally indifferent to the struggle; and indeed vast numbers, either wilfully or blindly, lend their aid to effect their own wretchedness, and that of their country, by supporting the conspiracies and factions which have the destruction of our Government in view.
Did we look with a discerning eye upon the miseries of the old World, and compare them with our distinguished blessings and privileges, how much higher would we prize our Republican Government, how much more ardently would we cherish its principles and support its measures, how much more faithfully would we labor to transmit to posterity our free and blissful institutions without infraction or corruption!
If by our carelessness or perverseness; our inculcability to the favors we enjoy, or ingratitude to Providence for conferring them, we forfeit our present comparatively happy condition, we shall richly deserve all the wretchedness which an affronted and offended God can pour out upon a degenerate and thankless People!
[Trenton True American.]
FROM WASHINGTON.
Definitive arrangements have been made for the execution of that part of the treaty with Tripoli that relates to the Ex-Bashaw. His family have been liberated, and failed from Tripoli on the 13th of October, carrying with them their property, their slaves and presents from the reigning to the exiled brother. [Nat. Intel.]
From present appearances, it would seem that no definitive terms will be agreed on between this government and Great Britain, until the ultimatum of the former shall have crossed the Atlantic. So that those who are not willing public good should yield to individual convenience will still display their patriotism by a cheerful acquiescence to the measures of government: While the grumbling, traitorous villains, who are incessantly endeavoring to misrepresent and embarrass the administration, may remain as monuments, that "error of opinion may be tolerated" without jeopardizing the safety of the nation. [Democrat.]
As we hear from different quarters, the name of Mr. MADISON is very acceptable as President of the United States. Nothing which impacts a rival in the public affections is heard. A few local preferences are heard, but no where with the majority of the citizens. Some who wish to find the States divided upon this subject, are ready to report every wish for another candidate; but appearances at present are, that Mr. Madison will be as honorably received, as the worthy President with whom he is now honorably joined in the administration. [Essex Register.]
The following Communication is copied from the Oracle by request.
County Recorder.
Mr. EDITOR, THE records for the county of Rockingham have for several years past been kept in the town of Newmarket; the difficulty of communication with which place, subjects the people to very great inconvenience, and the risque to which our records are liable by being deposited in a wooden building, is a consideration of no small importance. It seems then to be expedient that the records should be removed, and it is conceived that Portsmouth is the most proper place on many accounts to become the depository of these valuable archives. They will then be kept in a fire proof building, in consequence of which little or no risque will be incurred from fire—Add to this the frequent and almost daily communication enjoyed by the several towns with Portsmouth, which is and of right should be the shire of the county—And I think no more need be said to convince every person of reflection, that the records ought to be constantly kept in Portsmouth. The person who will be supported with energy by many of the country towns as suitable for this office is
COL. SETH WALKER.
And it is earnestly recommended to the citizens of Portsmouth in particular, and the county in general, to come forward on this occasion and vote for a man well qualified for Recorder of Deeds.
GAZETTE MARINE LIST.
Extract of a letter from Holmes' Hole, Feb. 23. Last night arrived here, the barque Active, Capt. Richardson, which sailed about 70 days since from Salem for Europe. Near the Western Islands, was boarded from a British letter of marque, which put on board 6 men and a prize master, and left on board, Capt. R. two seamen and the cook, and ordered her for Antigua. When within a day's sail of Antigua, the Capt. retook the Active; and has brought in the British crew. Capt. Cropsey, has arrived at New-York from Batavia, G.-sailed Feb. 7. Informs that Markets were high. The Government had dispensed the price of flour at 14 dollars. The port was not blockaded, but had been. Ad.

THE SELECTMEN of
those towns, who have not returned the Plans, that were sent back to them, for correction, and explanation, agreeably to my Circular Letter, of January 1807—are requested to transmit the same, to the SECRETARY'S OFFICE in CONCORD, by the twenty-fifth day of March next, with all the required corrections, and explanations.—The winter having been favorable to the necessary admeasurements, it is presumed that all disagreements respecting the dividing lines of towns, have been adjusted by the parties by mutual surveys; or that the contested lines will be distinctly described; and particularly that the errors in the boundaries of those towns that adjoin Rivers, Ponds, and Lakes, will have been adjusted with all possible care, and precision.—It is to be hoped if any towns have omitted these duties, that immediate attention will now be paid to them, and the more especially in those instances where there are water lines to re-examine, as it is only on the ice, that in most cases an accurate survey of those Lines is practicable.
But however desirable it is to have the corrections and returns made as expeditiously as possible, it is expected that where any mistakes or difficulties shall appear, that the Selectmen of those towns, will take ample time for reinspection, and survey; as all imperfect returns must without any discrimination, be continually sent back, until they are executed to comply with every requisition of the act of December 30th, 1803, entitled "An act to cause the several towns, parishes, and places within this State, to be surveyed, for the purpose of obtaining a Map of the State."

FLATTERY.
Shall Flattery lure us with delusive wiles, Replete with rancor, tho' she's dress'd in smiles?
BIGOTRY.
BIGOTRY consists in a tenacious attachment to certain articles and customs, in Religion, no way essential to constitute a truly pious character, acceptable to God, and an heir of immortal glory.
"Indeed the readiest way in the world, to thin Heaven and replenish the regions of hell," in the view of the mind, is to indulge a spirit of bigotry.
This baleful disposition, influences situations to form lenient views of the number of the saved, and to say, "We only are left."
Yes, there are few indeed to be saved, if none belong to them who do not belong to your party; who do not see with your eyes; who do not believe Election or the Decrees with you; who have not been baptized as you have been, or who do not worship exactly in your mode.
True christian candor, is not opposed to investigation. It is a friend to dispassionate enquiry. It is connected with a disposition, which leads us to give the liberty we take, in letting others think for ourselves on doctrinal subjects, and acknowledging their right in this respect as well as ours.
"Why should we hesitate to consider a man a christian, when we see him abhorring and forsaking sin; hungering and thirsting after righteousness; diligent in approaching unto God; walking in newness of life; and discovering a spirituality of temper, a disposition for devotion, and a deadness to the world, a benevolence, a liberality, such as is seldom found in those high toned doctrinalists, who regard themselves as the only peculiar favorites of heaven?
"It is not a system of notions, however good, or a judgment in divine things, however clear, which constitutes a christian. It is a transformation by the renewing of the mind; it is "putting off the old man with his deeds, and putting on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness; it is walking even as Christ walked."
"If any man have not the spirit of Christ he is none of his." - North Star.

To the Honourable the Justices of the Superior Court, now sitting at Portsmouth, in and for the County of Rockingham. HUMBLE SHEWS, William Simes of Portsmouth, Goldsmith, guardian of Sally Parr Horney, Ann Horney and Charles Horney, minors, children of Gilbert Horney, late of said Portsmouth, merchant, deceased, that his before-mentioned Ward are owners of three undivided fourth parts of a certain real estate in said Portsmouth, consisting of a dwelling house, messuage, &c. store, building or tenement, other buildings, and of the land whereon they stand, situate on the northerly side of Buck-street, being the late dwelling-house of the said deceased, and other buildings and land of the said deceased there, and bounded as follows, westerly by land of William Edwards in part, and in part by land of Jacob Sheafe; northerly by Cow-lane, easterly by land lately the estate of Mark Hunking Wentworth, Esq. deceased, and land of George Ham, and southerly by Buck-street, being the same messuage land and buildings on said Buck-street, which were lately the estate of the said Gilbert Horney deceased, and occupied by him at the time of his decease, and appurtenances.
That the said real estate is out of repair, and continually becoming more so, yielding little or no profit, and cannot be made productive, as there is no personal estate of the deceased, to put or keep the said premises in repair. That it is conducive to the interest of your petitioner's said wards, that their parts of said real estate be sold, and necessary also for their support. Wherefore, as said interest is unproductive, depreciating and incapable of a proper division, and the sale of it necessary for the support of said minors, your petitioner prays your Honors to empower him, as their guardian, to sell and convey the before described real estate of his said wards, agreeably to the statute in such case made and provided, and he as in duty bound, &c. &c. WILLIAM SAMES. Portsmouth, February 18, 1808.

THE petition of Thomas Brown of said Portsmouth, merchant, guardian of Gilbert Horney, a minor, son of Gilbert Horney, late of said Portsmouth, merchant, deceased, humbly shews - That the said minor, whose guardian your petitioner is, is the owner of an undivided fourth part of a certain real estate in said Portsmouth, situated on the northerly side of Buck-street, consisting of a Dwelling-House, messuage and a building store or tenement of the deceased, and other buildings and of the land whereon they stand; bounded westerly by land of William Edwards in part, and Jacob Sheafe's land in part, northerly by Cow lane, easterly by land lately the estate of Mark Hunking Wentworth, Esq. deceased, and land of George Ham, and southerly by Buck-street; being the same messuage, land and buildings on said Buck-street, which were lately the estate of the said Gilbert Horney, deceased, and occupied by him at the time of his decease, and appurtenances. That the said real estate is much out of repair; and there being no personal estate of said deceased, to put and keep it in suitable repair, it is and must continue to be, as to the owners, unproductive and depreciating - That it is conducive to the interest of your petitioner's said ward that his part of the said real estate be sold. Your petitioner, therefore, prays your honours to empower and authorize him, as guardian as aforesaid, to sell and convey the before described real estate of his said ward, agreeably to provisions of the statute in such case made and provided. And as in duty bound, &c. &c. THO'S BROWN. Portsmouth, February 18, 1808.

AN ELEMENTARY TREATISE ON Pleading, in Civil Actions, By EDWARD LAWES, of the inner temple: First American from the first London edition. Extracts from the London Monthly Review for April 1807
"In this treatise, we meet with that successful arrangement, and perspicuity of statement, which constitute the chief merit of performances of this kind; while many observations and hints are here given, which will excite the curiosity and stimulate the researches of the attentive and diligent student. The addition of the specimens of the different style of pleading at different periods was a happy idea, and will much assist the attainment of liberal and enlarged views of what is here termed a science, but which we think is more an art; we mean pleading."
