AT THE FIRST SESSION, Begun and held at the City of Washington, in the Territory of Columbia, on Monday the Seventh of December, one thousand eight hundred and one.
AN ACT Making provision for the redemption of the whole of the Public Debt of the United States.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in congress assembled, That so much of the duties on merchandise and tonnage as, together with the monies, other than surpluses of revenue, which now constitute the sinking fund, or shall accrue to it by virtue of any provisions heretofore made, and together with the sums annually required to discharge the annual interest and charges accruing on the present debt of the United States, including temporary loans heretofore obtained, & also future loans which may be made for reimbursing, or redeeming, any installments, or parts of the principal of the said debt, will amount to an annual sum of seven millions three hundred thousand dollars, be, and the same hereby is yearly appropriated to the said fund; and the said sums are hereby declared to be vested in the commissioners of the sinking fund, in the same manner as the monies heretofore appropriated to the said fund, to be applied by the said commissioners to the payment of interest and charges, and to the reimbursement or redemption of the principal of the public debt, and shall be & continue appropriated until the whole of the present debt of the United States, and the loans which may be made for reimbursing or redeeming, any parts or installments of the principal of the said debt shall be reimbursed and redeemed, any balance of the sums annually appropriated by this act, which may remain unexpended at the end of six months next succeeding the end of the calendar year to which such annual appropriation refers, shall be carried to the surplus fund, and cease to be vested by virtue of this act in the commissioners of the sinking fund, and the appropriation, so far as relates to such unexpended balance, shall cease and determine.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury annually, and in each year, to cause to be paid to the commissioners of the sinking fund the said sum of seven millions three hundred thousand dollars, in such payments and at such times, in each year as the situation of the treasury will permit: Provided, that all such payments as may be necessary to enable the said commissioners to discharge, or reimburse, any demands against the United States, on account of the principal or interest of the debt, which shall be actually due, in conformity to the engagements of the said states, shall be made at such time and times, in each year, as will enable the said commissioners faithfully and punctually to comply with such engagement.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That all reimbursements of the capital, or principal, of the present debt of the United States, including future loans which may be made for reimbursing or redeeming any installments, or parts of the same, and all payments on account of the interest and charges accruing upon the said debt shall be made under the superintendence of the commissioners of the sinking fund. And it shall be the duty of the said commissioners to cause to be applied and paid out of the said fund yearly and every year, at the treasury of the United States, the several and respective sums following, to wit: first, such
sum and sums as by virtue of any act, or acts, they have heretofore been directed to apply and to pay: secondly, such sum and sums as may be annually wanted to discharge the annual interest and charges accruing on any other part of the present debt of the United States, including the interest and charges which may accrue on future loans which may be made for reimbursing or redeeming any installments or parts of the principal of the said debt: thirdly, such sum and sums as may annually be required to discharge any installment or part of the principal of the said debt: and also it shall be the duty of the said commissioners to cause to be applied the surplus of such fund as may at any time exist, after satisfying the purposes aforesaid, towards the further and final redemption, by payment, or purchase, of the present debt of the United States, including loans for the reimbursement thereof, temporary loans heretofore obtained from the bank of the United States, and those demands against the United States, under any treaty, or convention, with a foreign power, for the payment of which the faith of the United States has been, or may hereafter, be, pledged by congress: Provided, however, that the whole, or any part, of such demands, arising under a treaty or convention, with a foreign power, and of such temporary loans, may, at any time, be reimbursed, either out of the sinking fund, or, if the situation of the treasury will permit, out of any other monies which have been, or may hereafter be, appropriated to that purpose.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the commissioners of the sinking fund be, and they hereby are empowered, with the approbation of the President of the United States, to borrow on the credit of the United States, either in America, or abroad, by obtaining a prolongation of former loans, or otherwise, the sums requisite for the payment of the installments or parts of principal of the Dutch debt, which become due in the years one thousand eight hundred and three, one thousand eight hundred and four, one thousand eight hundred and five, and one thousand eight hundred and six; and that a sum equivalent to that to be thus borrowed, or reloaned, shall be laid out by the commissioners of the sinking fund, in the purchase or redemption of such parts of the present debt of the United States, and other demands against them, as the commissioners of the sinking fund may lawfully pay, agreeably to the provisions herein before made, and as the said commissioners shall in their judgment deem most expedient, so as to effect the payment, annually, of seven millions, three hundred thousand dollars, towards the final discharge of the whole debt, agreeably to such provision: Provided, That the United States shall have a right to reimburse any loan thus made within six years after the date of the same, and that the rate of interest thereon shall not exceed five per centum per annum, nor the charges thereupon the rate of five per centum on the capital borrowed: And provided always, That the power herein given shall not be construed to repeal, diminish, or affect the power given to the said commissioners, by the tenth section of the act entitled "an act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," to borrow certain sums for the discharge of the installments of the capital, or principal, of the public debt in the manner, and on the terms, prescribed by the said section; nor the power given to them by an act entitled "an act making provision for the payment of certain debts of the United States," to borrow certain sums and to sell the shares of the bank of the United States, belonging to the United States, in the manner, on the terms, and for the purposes authorised by the said act; provided, further, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to revive any act or part of an act, authorising the loan of money, and which hath heretofore expired.

And be it further enacted, That the commissioners of the sinking fund be, and they hereby are empowered, with the approbation of the President of the United States, to employ, if they shall deem it necessary, an agent in Europe for the purpose of transacting any business relative to the discharge of the Dutch debt, and to the loans authorised by this, or any other act, for the purpose of discharging the same, and also to allow him a compensation not exceeding three thousand dollars a year, to be paid out of any monies in the treasury not otherwise appropriated.

Miscellany.
For the New-Hampshire Gazette.
Extract from the FAITHFUL REMEMBRANCER—2d No.
Looking over the papers left me by my friend EUGENIUS, I was much pleased with the following, wrote under a piece he had been composing for the public print—[The vein of humor I have indulged, and too often by writers is it yet indulged,] must have an evil tendency. It is adding fuel to the fires of animosity and party contention. I will mortify, I will subdue this mischievous spirit, so disgraceful as well as pernicious to human nature. I judge and condemn myself. We have evils enough already: why add to them by provoking evil and the words of bitterness?—Henceforward then let me write to provoke only to love and good works: nor shall the small talents I possess, be in the least prostituted to the service of that mischievous demon Discord, inclining hatred and strife, and rendering so many each others tormentors.
When I contemplate, (continues EUGENIUS,) man formed in the image DIVINE, I resent this degeneracy—for I too feel it; and I likewise have experienced its effects, its degrading, its bitter effects. It is a criminality for which we must [most assuredly] be judged by Divine perfection; for which we must suffer, and out of which, [if less will not do] we must be severely scourged. Words of provocation shall no more defile my pen. It shall henceforward be employed but to enlighten, persuade, conciliate. Let us learn, let us be instructed to delight in, and love one another, for that excellency in our nature for which we are loved by DEITY—that lovely image!—Let it be cherished and be refined from every unbecoming thought and desire, from every malignant temper and disposition. Let us learn to see and admire that in each other, which Deity beholds and admires; and thereby become perfect in harmony and love. Nature will then co-operate with us; and all the evils of every kind, to which our world is incident, as we improve in humanity, will disappear, will cease, 'till they forever cease to exist. Believe it—nothing is more true—Ye writers, pursue this subject—Ye leading men, who direct the thoughts and dispositions of mankind, who write, who speak in public; * Rouze all your powers to incessant exertions to promote that spirit of love and good will, humanity and benevolence, which is our nature's glory and bliss. Ye are accountable to the OMNISCIENT DISCERNER—Ye are accountable to the Universe—Ye are accountable to yourselves!—Thus far EUGENIUS.
In proportion to the increase of Love, will be the increase of Wisdom, in the conducting of every business of life, civil and domestic.—Ah! why do we not make greater proficiency in love, tenderness and compassion towards each other! Nature groans for it—calls for it importunately; for nature seeks our felicity; and the more we oppose her demands, the more we must add to our woes. By regarding one another as we ought, let us lessen—let us annihilate our evils and miseries. The means are sure and infallible. Why then, O foolish, and unwise! will ye struggle against nature, and that but to render yourselves more and more miserable! The spirit of animosity affects both the body and the mind; it spoils our digestion and destroys our health and life.—Why do ye not exert your powers in helping each other forward in health and happiness? In good earnest look to the source of love, the giver of every good, and you shall not be disappointed. To apply to the Author of life, and rely on Him, (by whom we are every moment supported in existence,) is most rational, most becoming, most essential: and with Him the more we daily and hourly converse, the nearer do we approach to perfect happiness.
To cultivate harmony, peace and love, and render mankind virtuous and happy, require the greatest efforts of human genius. In nothing does the grandeur of our nature and origin more appear, than in the sacred, generous works and labours of Love. We are therein co-workers with the GOD of infinite and changeless love: and while we are rendering others happy, we are increasing our own felicity.
Those who are sensible of their being of the opposite disposition, must dispise and abhor themselves—Unless such as, being eagerly in pursuit of pleasure, or fardid or ambitious schemes, have no time for serious reflection. But the time for serious reflection will come—will inevitably come.—Had we not better unite in one noble, vigorous effort to break through, to dissolve the fatal enchantment that binds down so many in mischievous folly and madness?
There are salutary precepts of ANCIENT SAGES, no longer inhabitants of our Globe, yet neither are they forever separated from our society, and our affections; No:—We shall see them, on an early and propitious day.—Those precepts we shall act wisely in studying and recollecting; that by regarding them we may experience their importance, their happy effects. Some of the principle are, in the sequel, presented to your consideration. The more we love them, and conform to them, the more shall we realize their worth, the more shall we admire their Authors, and with the greater joy shall we meet them in that state of perfection, to which we are approaching.
* See No. 1st. last page. From the Worcester Spy. A Country Life preferred to the pleasurable pain of a City.
"Come, see what pleasures in our plains abound; The woods, the fountains, and the flow'ry ground."
WHEN we consider that health is the most valuable blessing bestowed on mortals this side the grave, we shall not hesitate to pronounce that situation or mode of life, which is most conducive to it, on the whole, most agreeable and pleasant.
Deprived of health, all other enjoyments become insipid. The Miller, under excruciating pains, would willingly barter his treasures for a state of convalescence. The dissolute and intemperate when health declines, feel willing, for a time, to refrain from illicit propensities for its return.
No local situation can be attended with such delights as a rural life; here the amusements are innocent, yet pleasing and instructive. What joy does the contemplative mind feel, in roving over the cultivated farm. The vernal beauties every where rising into view—the cattle releted from long confinement, rejoice at the return of liberty to graze on the tender grass—the snow white lambs in sportive frolic play—the air is scented with odoriferous perfumes—"Sweet is the breath of morn, her rising sweet with charm of earliest birds."
How grateful and welcome it is to the ear, to hear the feathered choir at the first dawn of light, utter in the day with melodious songs—they gently admonish us to rise and tune our hearts to the praise of Him who giveth life and breath to every living thing—they awaken us to industry in our temporal concerns, and teach us not to consume the precious hours of morning in sleep and idleness.
The inhabitants of cities, in their prospect, see not the variety of hills and vales—of brooks and rivers—they hear not the soft notes of feathered songsters, or breathe the healthful air scented by trees and flowers. Another advantage of a Country life is, a freedom from the fears of epidemic and contagious disorders. The crowded streets of cities deprive cities of a salubrious air; and, where there is so much nuisance without a free circulation of this element, it generates disease. Many, under continual apprehensions, die a thousand deaths in fearing one.
It will not be improper to mention the dreadful calamities of fire so often experienced by cities and populous towns. This is a weighty argument against a city, and in favor of a country life.
When the inhabitants from the country enter the city, and see the splendid habitations, the men of opulence riding in state with their attendants and equipage, the macaronies and honorable Misses walking the streets in silk and brocade and see the delicious fruits and luxuries, with which the city abounds, they are apt to feel envious at their apparent ease and prosperity, and are ready to with they could exchange situations; but let me tell you that you see only the countenance and are strangers to their hearts, for while their looks bespeak cheerfulness and serenity, their hearts are pressed with pain and anxiety. When the business of the day is ended, they cannot, with composure, recline their heads on their pillow, and awake and say, sleep has been sweet.
Farmers may truly be said to be the happiest description of men. They have not the anxious solicitude of the merchant, nor does their support depend on a precarious foundation. While they rest in soft slumbers, the production of the ground throws up and their flocks increase in number and in value.
Quare agite a propriis generatim discite cultus
Agricola, fructusque feros mollite colendo;
Neu segnes jacant terrae,—Virgil.
Husbandmen go on—be courageous—cultivate the tender fruits, turn the barren lands into fruitful fields. In your employment, pleasure and profit both combine—yours are the joys of rural felicity, and yours are the sweets of full domestic life. Prefer the neat cottage to the shining palace, & the necessities and conveniences to the luxuries of life. Resired from the noise and confusion of the city and all its pleasurable pain, enjoy the fruits of your labour, and believe yourselves the happiest of mankind.
"Oh how I love but his happiness, of men The happiest he, who far from public rage, Deep in the vale, with a choice few, retir'd, Drinks the pure pleasures of the rural life!"
From the Independent Chronicle.
NATIONAL BIRTH DAY.
THE twenty-sixth Anniversary of our Independence was celebrated in various parts of the State. We notice with pleasure, the spirit of harmony which has pervaded our Celebrations the present year.—The following is an Extract from an Oration, pronounced on the occasion, at New-Salem, in the county of Hampshire, before a numerous auditory, composed of such as have hitherto been styled Republicans and Federalists, but who united on this occasion, and performed their several parts with friendship and decorum:—
"AFTER having endured the hardships and distresses of a long and disastrous war; after having baffled our enemies, annihilated their armies, and formed an alliance with one of the most powerful nations on earth, the long wished for day star of Amity arose, the morning of Reconciliation appeared, and the beams of Peace shone, with full effulgence, on the beautiful fabric of AMERICAN LIBERTY!
Since then, our country has rapidly progressed in strength, size, importance and wealth. It has, under the guidance of Heaven, and the auspices of WASHINGTON and other American worthies, reared a monument, which may endure through ages, a Government founded on the will of the People.
Having spoken of the day we celebrate, and of the establishment of our Independence and Government, it remains that something be observed of the progress of that Government, our present situation and future prospects.
Our Government was fabricated on the pure principles of justice and liberty. It was established for the support of order, the promotion of our prosperity, the preservation of our rights, and for our common benefit and security. Our Constitution was formed for the People's safeguard and a Legislative director.
Under this Government and safeguard, we have passed 14 years; have established a code of Federal Laws; regulated Commerce; made additions to the Union; formed Treaties with foreign nations and the adjacent Indian tribes; began the erection of a Navy; established a permanent seat
for our Federal Government at Washington, &c. &c. May the fruits of these labors be national blessings, lasting as the duration of nature!
But in accomplishing these, we have been subjected to numerous and serious disasters. A new Government, founded on a novel plan, it might justly be suspected would be deficient in many respects. Different opinions prevailed in the construction of our Constitution, which, together with the baneful influence of European politics, wiles and wars, have excited warmth, acrimony, party zeal and almost civil war. But these obstacles to unanimity and peace are fast subsiding, and if we regard the last solemn warnings and sage admonitions of our departed WASHINGTON, by obliterating party distinctions, and by preserving our Union, we may realize the full fruition of that peace and prosperity which he so ardently prayed for.
Our present situation is flattering and enviable. The dire clangor of Arms has ceased in Europe, and Peace, after a banishment of 12 years, has again re-vilited her blood-stained shores. France and England, those rival, overgrown and martial nations, have at length reclined beneath the grateful shade of the benignant Olive; and that wonderful man, BONAPARTE, has hushed the world in peace. May Heaven direct his energies in the cause of justice and harmony; but blast him the moment he forsakes it and enlists himself under the banners of injustice and oppression!
Already we feel the happy effects of this generous Peace. Although individuals may sustain losses, yet America must look upon the event as peculiarly fortunate, both for herself and for the whole family of mankind.
At home, we enjoy the blessings of Peace, Plenty, Liberty and Safety. Experience has shown us but in part, the consequences of our late complete, and to the honor of our country, bloodless political revolution. We feel assured, however, that unanimity of sentiment and an increased respect for our Government, rulers and laws, will follow the diminution of expenditures, the abolition of unnecessary offices, and the reduction of our burdens.
Our present administration, among other interesting subjects, demands our notice. Of several rival candidates, JEFFERSON was triumphant, and regularly elected to the office of President. His enemies clamored and declaimed—his advocates, (a respectable majority of the citizens of the United States) rejoiced and were satisfied.
Our Vice President and Heads of the several National Departments, are men whose sentiments accord with the President's, and whose unblemished characters and profound abilities are the surest pledges of our future peace and welfare. As long as they unite their exertions for the advancement of our prosperity, peace and dignity, we have reason to exult.
While I recommend our government and administration, as worthy of your respect, I have no inclination to reflect with severity on past measures or men. Happy would it be for nations, governments and societies if acrimonious reflections and criminations were less prevalent.
We rank WASHINGTON among the fairest and sublimest characters that ever lived. We place ADAMS and JEFFERSON among his companions in glory. And although some measures were adopted, during the presidency of ADAMS, which seem rather adverse to the mild principles of republican liberty, yet we ought to consider that error is an inhabitant of earth, and an appendage of humanity. That moderation and charity ought to be primary traits in the character of every American. And while we detest each obnoxious deed, let us forbear to censure the man. Let us in future shun every species of extravagance and oppression. Cleave to the plain and mild principles and manners of rational freemen. Respect and support our rulers and federal government.—Treat with sovereign contempt and hatred every attempt to alienate the affections and respect of the people from their constituted authorities, or to sever our Union; but preserve that, together with our admirable Constitution and Government, in their purity and energy—
Down thro' the course of many future years. Disregarding the railings of party, the declamations of inordinate zeal, let us still remain the firm, inviolable advocates of our Republican Government, republican officers, and salutary Laws!

LONDON, MAY 17. We are assured by a private letter, that a few days ago, (we believe on the 5th) an attempt was made at the parade on the life of Bonaparte. The letter further states, that the whole particulars of this affair was sent to the English government; and probably they were brought by Mr. Mandeville. We have no further information by the letter; but from other channels we hear, that Generals Angereau, Mafena and Bernadotte, who are known to view with an evil eye the increasing power of Bonaparte, have been
ordered to reside 100 leagues from Paris. The Chief Consul has directed the raising of a corps of honor, consisting of 1800 men, to protect his person. Sunday last night one of the regiments refused to acknowledge their colours, saying, they had conquered without the assistance of the Pope, and would not accept of it. They have been marched from Paris also. The new ecclesiastical establishment meet with many difficulties, and the Constitutional Bishops of 1791, are nowhere well received. At Strasburg, Bishop Saurine was put in fear of his life, the people calling for the Cardinal de Rohan. Something of the same kind has occurred at Besancon. At Malines, it is said, the people have publicly prayed for the conversion of the Pope, regarding him as a heretic!
Thursday evening at 7 o'clock, the inhabitants of Pye-street, Westminster, were alarmed by a violent noise, occasioned by the foundations of four houses giving way in the same street, crushing in both walls and rafters so as to render the whole one heap of ruins. About a quarter past eleven o'clock, the neighbours, watchmen, &c. commenced digging the ruins, and succeeded in taking out seven persons alive, but so much mangled that their lives were despaired of when brought to the Infirmary. Yesterday morning four other unfortunate sufferers were dug out quite dead, whose bodies were broken to pieces. Three more were dug out in the evening, and, from report, it is supposed that at least twenty persons must have been buried in the ruins.

LOUISVILLE, JUNE 4. THE treaty lately held with the Seneca Indians, for the extinguishment of their claim to a small tract of land at Black Rock, or Lake Erie, for the site of a fort, has failed of success. The principal reason assigned by the Indians for their refusal to make this grant, was, that the Great Spirit is angry with them for selling their lands to the white people, and that he has threatened them with sore calamities, if they do not refrain therefrom in future. The real cause, however, of the failure of the Treaty is attributed to another source: The influence which the British possess in the Indian councils, and their dislike to the United States' possessing a military post at Black Rock, which is the most impolitic and commanding situation on Lake Erie.
Judge Taylor, of this city, was the Commissioner on the part of the United States; and the honorable Mr. L'Hommecieu, of Suffolk, Oliver Phelps, Esq. of Ontario, and Charles D. Cooper, Esq. of this city, the Commissioners on the part of this State, at the above treaty. The number of Indians present was supposed to be about 8000.
NORFOLK, JULY 20. General Dearborn, Secretary at War, of the U. States, and Col. Burbeck, arrived yesterday from the Federal City, in the sloop George, Capt. Butler.
Accounts from St. Domingo, as late as the 6th inst. received yesterday by the Packet Schooner Favorite, Capt. Drummond, state, that Gen. Le Clerc had solicited his resignation from St. Domingo, and 1000 more troops arrived there from France in several transports under convoy in a frigate.
BALTIMORE, JULY, 29. The Board of Health of this city, to relieve the public mind from any inordinate apprehension relative to the existence of a malignant fever in our city, and to check the various and contradictory reports which are circulating on the subject, have published a statement of all the persons who have fallen sick of fever during the present month.—They are eight in number; four of whom have died. Considering the heat of the weather, and the population of the city, this report shows that we have enjoyed uncommon health. In the discharge of their duty, the board have ascertained, that in no instance has the disease been communicated to the attendants or friends of the sick: and that from the different situations of those who have fallen victims to the disease, they could not have derived it from the same neighborhood.
By the Active, lately from Canton, have been received a few Likenesses of the Illustrious General WASHINGTON, executed on glass in a superb and masterly style by an eminent Chinese artist.—The resemblance is striking, and the manner approach to Stuart's happiest efforts.
IMPORTANT!
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New-Orleans, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated June 22.
"A courier has just arrived from Spain, with dispatches to the Governor, &c. which do not mention one word of this Province being given up to the French. The dispatches are as late as the beginning of April.—Private letters in town, just received from the Havana, state, that the Province had been given to the French, but returned, on condition that the Spaniards would pay the French five millions of money, five ships of the line, and repairs for twenty more.—These letters speak confidently of this statement being correct. If this account is true, we shall have to congratulate ourselves on the event."
PHILADELPHIA, JULY 23. We congratulate our fellow-citizens of Philadelphia, and the other populous maritime cities and towns of the union, on the success which has attended the vigilance and perseverance of the board of health of this city. The yellow fever of the West-Indies, has, after being imported and diffused over a considerable surface of this city—and being communicated from one person to another—after being caught by barely going on board the St. Domingo packet—and after having threatened to spread with more than its former malignity—after several had fallen victims to it with all the worst characteristics of black vomit—excruciating pains—and speedy death—that in despite of all these terrific circumstances, the board of health

have not only succeeded in preventing its progress, but totally exterminated it. We publish with peculiar satisfaction the following copy of the letter from the board of health to the governor.
HEALTH OFFICE,
July 22d, 1802.
SIR, "I HAVE the honor to announce to your excellency, that by the report of our committee of this morning, the fever which lately appeared in the vicinity of Vine-street has entirely subsided, and think myself warranted in saying that the city and liberties enjoy as much health, at this moment, as at any former period, and that bills of health will be issued from this office as heretofore. With the highest respect and consideration, I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,
CORNELIUS COMEGYS, President. His Excellency the Governor.
The citizens of Philadelphia have particular cause to rejoice on this occasion, and we make no doubt that the success which has attended the vigorous experiment on this occasion, will tend to allay that destructive spirit of attachment to one theory of origin, in place of attending to the public security upon the evidence of such decisive experience.
Men no doubt will yet be found blind to the evidence that stares them in the face, and we shall not be surprised to hear it maintained by those who at first wished to conceal the excellence of the disease, that it has had no existence at all—or that it is of local origin if it did exist.—We shall, however, feel not so much regret at their first blindness as pity for their literal folly.
NEW-YORK, JULY 24.
In yesterday's Gazette we noticed the arrival of the frigate Essex, capt. Bainbridge, after a fourteen months cruise on the Mediterranean station.
We are informed by capt. B. that the ill and of Elma had been evacuated by the British troops.
That Minorca was to be delivered up by Admiral Sir James Scumarez on the 17th of June.
That the British still retained possession of Alexandria and of Malta.
That the day the Essex left Gibraltar, the fleet under the command of Lord Keith failed for England, except the Superb, of 74 guns, she having remained as a guard ship.
That the Triumph, a 74, and the Active frigate of 40 guns, had just failed for Algiers, on business, it was said, relative to the detention of an English merchantman by the Algerines.
We have before noticed the engagement more accurately dated by capt. Bainbridge; from whom we learn, that the late engagement was only between a Portuguese frigate of 36, commanded by a Frenchman, and an Algerine frigate of 44 guns,—that it took place 15 miles to the southward of Malaga; and that it lasted only one hour, when the French captain had a leg taken off by a cannon ball. This circumstance had such an effect upon the crew, that they left their guns and went below; and as the Algerines were boarding the ship, the wounded captain discharged a pistol at his head and immediately expired. None of his officers, and only one of his crew, were killed in the engagement. It is not unworthy of remark, that this was the first frigate ever built in Algiers and the first ever captured by them from a Christian power.
Capt. B. on his arrival here, received orders to proceed immediately for Washington; and we learn that the Essex will sail for that place on Thursday next.
COMMERCIAL.
The commercial council of Bourdeaux have recommended, that no foreigners shall be allowed to sell their ships in France; that the wood in the interior of France fit for ship building, shall be immediately sent to sea-ports; that the importation of materials from the north of Europe, should be particularly encouraged by premiums, &c. that ships of war ensue should be immediately dispatched to Guinea for timber, &c. and that foreigners should on no account be permitted to interfere in the coasting trade of France.
ALARM among the SPANIARDS about the YELLOW FEVER.
It is worthy of being well remarked how constantly the yellow fever is deemed by the inhabitants of every city or place, to originate not in their settlement but in foreign parts. The story goes that it has been imported again into Philadelphia from St. Domingo! This is very bad; but it is not the worst of it. For the people of the West India islands are as strongly convinced that the yellow fever cannot arise spontaneously in their delightful climate, and healthy atmosphere, as the Philadelphians are that it cannot be bred in theirs, witness the following facts; the Havana in Cuba is said to have been, or now to be, visited by that malady. One of their considerable Physicians has just published a large work on the subject. And in this Dr. Oyarvide contends, that the existence of that dreadful and mortal disease ought to be guarded against from foreign parts with the greatest vigilance; that Havana and indeed all Cuba are peculiarly exposed to the introduction of it from abroad; and that the highest and worst degree of black vomit is introduced among the Spaniards, by the Anglo Americans, (people of the United States) who carry on trade and intercourse with them and with their other productions take along the horrible pestilence which annually desolates their cities, (New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, &c.) at home, and spread the contagion among the pure and innocent subjects of his most Catholic Majesty?—To prevent this evil effectually, Dr. Oyarvide proposes to enforce the same regulations which were adopted by King Philip V. against the plague of Marseilles, 1721. And then he thinks the inhabitants of Cuba will be safe against the lazars and lepers of the United States. Fellow Citizens, think as unfavourably as you please of foreign cities their inhabitants instructed by your example, think as badly of yours. Cease to accuse and denounce each other, for the evil you dread is bred in the ships of all nations. Purify your vessels, in which yellow fever is engendered and all will be well.
BOSTON, JULY 31.
Capt Kempton, arrived here, on his passage from Marseilles to Salou, on the 11th May, in the night, fell in with a polacre ship of 20 guns, which gave him chase, came along side, and proved to be an Algerine corsair. He demanded Capt. K.'s pass, detained him a short time, and released him. During this time the Algerine behaved very politely, used every means in his power, before boarding, to convince Capt. K. that he was not an enemy; and informed him that he had nothing to fear from the Tripolines, as they had no cruisers out. Whilst under quarantine at Salou, Capt. K. saw an Algerine brig chase a Neapolitan ship ashore near Salou, which they attempted to get off; but were fired at from the shore, and were obliged to leave her. The Neapolitans saved themselves by taking to their boat and going on shore.
From PROVIDENCE—July 29.
On Tuesday last arrived here, from Venice, Capt. J. Westcott, in a short passage from Cape-Francois—he informs, that affairs were in a very confused situation there, when he failed; the negroes continued to harass the French troops almost daily—That one of the black regiments under the command of Gen. Christophe, had been sent by Leclerc to disperse them—a skirmish took place, and Christophe's detachment were cut to pieces by the Brigands; Leclerc detached a body of French troops who met the Brigands and defeated them with great slaughter.—The French troops died 30 or 40 daily—a reinforcement of 20,000 men was hourly expected.
The militia of the District of Columbia is organized into two legions. Each legion consisting of one company of cavalry, one of artillery, one of grenadiers, (or riflemen) one of light infantry; and eight of infantry. The appointment of the officers of those legions are invested in the President; and the last "National Intelligencer" contains their names.
Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman in Marion district, to his friend in Charleston, dated June 15.
"I hope republicanism prevails among you. Here where I live it has come to full perfection; party work has ceased, the federalists confessing that they were mistaken, and cheerfully acquiescing in the measures of the government. They all see that they have been misled, and had been induced to believe, that their religion would be violated, their property destroyed, and that they were to be reduced to wretchedness and misery under Mr. JEFFERSON's authority; but now that they see that his sole object is to ensure to each of his fellow-citizens every comfort that the government can contribute; to relieve them from oppressive and needless taxes; to remove every obstacle to the free expression of opinion on his conduct, and to rest entirely on the justice of his principles; and his ardent desire to promote universally their happiness and welfare—they have, in the true spirit of our holy religion, done as good Christians ought to do, divested themselves of all party prejudice, confessed they were wrong, and resolved to support that cause whose object is every man's private peace and public comfort."
STAMP ACT.
The Death of the odious Stamp Act, Excise, and other internal taxes, which have expired, has been a source of festivity in many parts of the country. It is a cause of real joy to all the friends of republicanism. Public economy is a public virtue; a simple regulation, the best preservative of republicanism, is to free the great body of people generally the manufacturers of our own country from taxation internally, as much as consistent with the firm support of government, and the due discharge of the public engagements, will certainly be the good policy of wise legislators in all republics. Burthen the people with oppressive taxes, and they will become inert; the political body will become enervated; public energy palsied.—Leave the people to the free enjoyment of the fruits of their industry, and the contrary of the above will be witnessed in every country, that enjoys the blessings of liberty. Cent. of Freedom.
The Federalists are actually impostors and false prophets—They vowed and declared, that if ever Jefferson was placed in the presidential chair, that our churches would be demolished, and religion banished from our happy land. How reverse is the fact! Every Newspaper furnishes us with accounts of the "revival of religion," in different parts of the Union. When shall we be purged of this "race of vipers?" These Scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites, who make long speeches to scare women and children?
How mortifying it is to our weekly railers against the President, that all their slander cannot provoke him to any act of severity against them or their friends! He even continues many of them in offices dependent on his pleasure, and treats them with a degree of mingled indifference, complaisance and kindness, which makes some of them ashamed of themselves.
SALEM, JULY 29.
Damage has been done in different parts by lightning. On the 2d of July, a woman was killed by lightning in Lexington, Kentucky, in the same storm which was so violent when it moved northwardly. Lately at Petersburg, in Virginia, two persons were killed, and the lightning did damage in Union, Pennsylvania. In Gloucester, near us, two oxen were killed by lightning in the late thunder storm of the 24th inst.—The clouds passed us in great confusion, but we hear of no other injury.
The fifth of our more souther neighbours seem more disposed to visit us. An unusual plenty of bats was observed early in the season. The whining distinct from the whining-polluck, or whining-pouh, has been taken off our shores in great numbers. And the sheep's head, seldom seen, has entered our rivers. We are willing to share with our friends, in these luxuries. For several years we have been visited by the tautaug, which becomes a more frequent visitor of our rocks.

Latest from EUROPE.
The Packet, Princess Amelia, arrived at Halifax, the 17th inst. 39 days from Falmouth, bringing London papers to the 5th June; six days later than before received here. They do not divulge any interesting events.
A very considerable scarcity of bread was experienced at Paris, and other parts of France; which arrested the serious attention of the French government to lessen, The General Commandant at Paris has by Proclamation assured the Parisians "that bread should not increase in price, nor be wanting in Paris."—The Minister of the Interior has by letter held out the prospect of a vast importation from Danzic, Amsterdam, and the United States; and the Moniteur mentions the arrival of forty-five foreign vessels with grain. No fewer than 50,000 quarters of foreign grain were exported from England to France, the last week in May.
The suffrages of the French people respecting Bonaparte were daily coming in, and nothing appeared to indicate any want of unanimity. We see, however, numerous accounts of conspiracies and rumours of conspiracies against Bonaparte, and of the defection of his Generals, guards, &c. The emigrants were returning to France in great numbers.
Commercial arrangements between France and Great Britain were on the tapis.
Gen. Berthier, is said to have fallen in a duel with Gen. Lecourbe.
A great scarcity of specie prevails throughout Holland.
In Egypt the Turks have vigorously commenced hostilities against the revolted Beys. The 29th, 49th, and 59th regiments were under orders to embark for Nova-Scotia and Canada—Probably to relieve troops there.
It is mentioned, that the British West-India fleet is to rendezvous at Halifax, and the French fleet in the Chesapeake, during the hurricane months.
The British Peace establishment is fixed at 60,000 men;—of force no stronger than that kept on foot in the reign of CHARLES II. A similar reduction is also to take place in the Naval Department.
READY MONEY.
Accounts from Cadiz say, that Twenty three millions of Dollars had recently arrived in that city from South America.
The flour and meal exported from Philadelphia, in April, May and June last, amounted to 107,511 barrels.
Navigation of the Mississippi.—In 1801, there arrived and entered at the Natches, 1 brig, 1 schooner, 514 flats, 50 keel boats, and 19 perogues, having on board property to the value of 1,095,418 dollars.
The great Western Turnpike Road Company, in New-York, have constructed nearly 40 miles of turnpike, to the westward of Albany. They have expended 40,000 dollars; and though they have but two toll gates in that great extent, they divided three per cent, for the last six months, on their whole stock.
Longevity.—In the 1708, died at Smyrna, one Lupazzolo at the age of 118 years.—He had sixty children by five wives, besides such as were illegitimate. His oldest son died before him, at the age of 85; at which time his youngest daughter was but six years.
Last Lord's day was baptized, at Greenland, a fine child, by the name of THOMAS JEFFERSON.
The character of Dr. BRACKET, is received, and shall appear in our next.
WASHINGTON ON AGRICULTURE.
In a letter on agricultural affairs, written by our deceased Washington to Sir ARTHUR YOUNG, is the following paragraph:— "The more I am acquainted with agricultural affairs, the better I am pleased with them; inasmuch, that I can no where find so great satisfaction as in those innocent and useful pursuits. In indulging these feelings, I am led to reflect how much more delightful to an undebouched mind, is the talk of making improvements on the earth, than all the vain glory which can be acquired from ravaging it, by the most uninterrupted career of conquests. The design of this observation is only to show how much, as a member of human society, I feel myself obliged by your labours to render respectable and advantageous an employment which is more congenial to the natural dispositions of mankind than any other."
In this town, on Thursday morning last, Capt. MARTIN PARRY, merchant, in the 44th year of his age, greatly lamented by all who knew him—He has left a disconsolate widow, and an only daughter to bemoan their loss— Hah! is not PARRY dead! too true! he's gone
And bid adieu to this his earthly home, Ye sacred NINE! exalt your lofty lays, And tune your numbers to this good man's praise! Good did I say? yea, of a virtuous mind, A faithful friend, a friend to all mankind! Oh could I, by some more than magic art, Express th' emotions of my sorrowing heart; Then would I "sweep for HIM the humble lyre;" "Virtues like his, must every heart inspire;" Whilist thousand weep and mourn th' untimely end,
Of this benignly good, this POOR man's friend,
The oppressor dies, but dies without a moan, For none lament his death, not even one. SEWALL! thou genius of th' Adonian line, Step forth, and with elegant numbers join; Command thy muse's aid, once more inspire Thy Pen immortal, with celestial fire, None will attempt the arduous task but YOU, For none more just can render PARRY's due! Then with his philanthropic virtues shine, And all his worth describ'd in every line, Then to the world by YOU it will be shown How well he was BLOV'D by ALL in town: And tho' we grieve, our hopes are not in vain, Our loss, dear shade is thy eternal gain; As Heav'n is just, to THEE there now is giv'n,
An ever-fading CROWN, a CROWN in Heav'n.
On Sunday morning last, Mrs. GRACE BAYLEY, aged 31, wife of Capt. Samuel Bayley, of this town.

FAR up the west the gathering clouds began O'er lofty groves the threatening tempest ran; Now blackened veils o'er nature's face were spread, And growling thunders fill the world with dread! Thicker & thicker till the glooms of night Shrouds Sol's effulgence from the mortal light; Now down the east the blackest clouds descend, Along the fourth the threatening clouds extend! The vivid lightnings dart along the sky, And thunders roll'd on thunders grumbling by! See, see, the flash enlightens yonder pole, With what vast grandeur do the thunders roll; The opening clouds recede before the blaze, And 'frighted nature stands aghast to gaze! See how from yonder cloud the lightnings gleam, And o'er the mountains dart their vivid beam; O'er all the fields majestic thunders fly, And fiery bolts descend from yonder sky! Thus on that day when burning hills shall glow, And from their caverns liquid lightnings flow; When seas shall vanish and the earth retire, The sun grow pale & twinkling stars expire! Then, then, the thunders shall tremendous roll, And rend yon canopy from pole to pole!! Exeter, July 22, 1802.
COMMUNICATION.
Origin of SHORT WAISTCOATS. SAYS TOM to DICK this question solve, And tell me if you know What has took place to change the dress Of ev'ry glittering beau. Quoth DICK the reason is too plain, To need much plague or thought; Having but little cash to spend, Their pantaloons they bought. Well then a vest was wanting still, But scarce a cent to buy it; They thought a shorter one would do, And were relolv'd to try it.
Moralist.
ORIGINAL. On FRIENDSHIP. HOW pleasing are the sensations of those whom a similarity of taste and inclination have united in the golden bands of friendship.
The mind cannot picture a situation short of the abodes of the blest, more replete with grateful sensations; more consoling to the breast of misfortune, and more conducive to the felicity of prosperity itself, than in the society of one attached to us by the ties of gratitude and esteem.—Ah, what is the happiness of the lenisualist, or even of those whom the smiles of fortune have seated under a canopy of golden sunshine, compared with that which thrills the nerves of a heart of sensibility, when he meets a friend, who, uncapivated by the painted cheeks of vice, nobly treads the rocky path which leads to the temple of immortal virtue; and who will "In ev'ry stage of life afford relief," "Partake our joy & sympathize our grief." There can be no lasting friendship unless the foundation stone be laid by the hand of virtue, in which case a beautiful fabric, durable as the massy pyramids of Egypt, may be erected, whose strength and magnificence will increase, like the lofty oak upon the mountains brow; and when the potent hand of time shall moulder this to its primitive dust, that shall still live unimpaired by the revolutions of ages, and the ravages of time. Man might be happier, would he be solicitous to cultivate this noble source, from whence flows the sovereign balm of affliction; this fountain of mellowed sweets, which diffuses light, vigor and cheerfulness through every order and grade of society, from the most wealthy and affluent, to the most indigent and needy:—It is this which inspires the breast of the unspiteful and tender husband to study the happiness of his bosom friend:—It is this which establishes confidence between masters and servants, rulers and people, foreigners and natives; and when once that confidence is destroyed which friendship creates, there is an end to all happiness, and gloomy uncertainty and suspicion tours every social feeling.
Medley.
LORD Chancellor HATTON, during a cause, in which the boundaries of a piece of land were to be ascertained, the counsel of the first party stated—"We lie on this side, my Lord;" that of the other, "And we lie on this side." The Chancellor, rising up, said, "If you lie on both sides, whom will ye have me to believe?"
A rattling fellow came and told a person of whom he had very little knowledge, a secret of the utmost consequence to himself, begging for —'s sake that the other would not tell it again. Never fear, said the person, I shall be at least as discreet as yourself.
IMPROVEMENT.
We understand that Mr. Burgess Allison, principal of the academy at Bordentown, N. Jersey, has, in the course of his chemical experiments, made a discovery by means of which all kinds of spirituous liquors may be freed from their disagreeable smell and taste, and rendered quite pure in the space of a few hours, so as to possess the qualities generally given by age. This discovery must be of the greatest advantage to distillers, grocers, &c. who deal in spirits, as it is said, that at the small expense of about a cent per gallon, it can be increased nearly fifty per cent. in value. He has obtained a patent for said invention, and designs selling out rights immediately. [N. Y. Paper.]
