FROM THE AURORA.
Politics for Farmers.—No. 7.
You are well acquainted with the transactions which have passed in open day; but there are transactions which have passed under the concealment of perfidy, that you remain unacquainted with. The attempts of foreign nations to influence and direct your councils, was shewn in the case of Linton, and the attempts to disserve your country, in the conspiracy of Blount, Romayne, &c. by the same Linton.—Ogden a refugee from New-York; a relative of those Ogdens who have been the participators of the conspiracy of Burr and the buccaneering expedition of Miranda, publicly declared, and wrote, that Great Britain retained Canada only as a rod over the revolted Americans.
You have seen many Americans professing allegiance to the United States concerned in supporting the intrigues of the British Ambassador—and you have seen their undigested emigrations avowing their contempt for your institutions, and sporting audacious contumely on the character of American citizens: while the emissary is not only declared in the parliament of England to be entitled to a statue of gold for such conduct, but obtains a pension out of the royal civil list sufficient upon the sale of the patent to purchase an ample landed estate. The American reader may judge of the extent of the reward bestowed upon British emissaries, by a single fact. Porcupine has sent to the United States, and has obtained ten thousand oak plants from the American forests, to be planted on the estate which he has purchased out of the sale of this pension—the plants are actually forwarded, by an eminent seedsmen in this city.
The very same men who patronized Porcupine are now in power, in England, and there are men so infatuated as to discredit any idea of the British government countenancing the injuries done by her ships of war, and the conspiracies carrying on in the western country; while 3000 of our citizens are detained by force on board her fleets, and thirty millions of American property lies at the discretion of her courts of admiralty; and the ship Cambrian in disregard of our national independence, comes into our waters and insults us.
But this is not all. Can it be from motives of respect or good will that she selects her consular agents from among a class of men obnoxious to the liberties and independence of the U. States. Against these individuals as mere men in their domestic characters we have nothing to say, with their private lives or concerns we have nothing to do. But with them as public agents the principles which cause the selection to be made from among the enemies of the revolution that established our independence, are public topics, political topics, and demand a constant political vigilance and reprobation.
Whether Mr. Hamilton at Norfolk, is or is not one of this class, we are not sufficiently well informed to say. But Phineas Bond, the English consul in this city, is a native of this city, a refugee, and an enemy of the revolution.
Mr. Thomas Barclay, the English consul at New York was attained of treason during our revolution; his zeal in the service of England, we well know.
Mr. Andrew Allen, jun. English consul at Boston, is of the same class.
A recent circumstance is connected with this subject—we see in papers an account of a special privilege given to a Mr. Williams who is said to be of Baltimore to trade with revolted blacks in St. Domingo; Mr. Williams of Baltimore! It is said that similar privileges are given to all British subjects. We did not before suppose that to be of the city of Baltimore and a British subject to the fair accretion of a language correct; and certainly the privilege of the British king cannot give any resident of Baltimore the right to violate our laws.
But this is not all. We have conversed with a gentleman from Halifax in Nova Scotia, and he states to us in the most explicit manner the following information. The capture of the ship Messenger off the port of New-York about three months ago may be recollected; she was sent to Halifax. It so happened however that the vessel belonged to a Mr. Rutgers, perhaps the very gentleman who signed the memorial about fortifications presented to congress. Mr. Rutgers the owner of the Messenger is the relation of Mr. Barclay and another Rutgers his brother was the supercargo. This was a sad mistake of Capt. Beresford of the Cambrian; the consuls in the United States, have in fact powers co-extensive with those of the pro-consuls of the Roman provinces; Mr. Barclay addressed himself to Halifax in force, and what think you was his artillery; why that Mr. Rutgers' ship ought to be released, for he is "warmly federal."
Now American farmers what think you of this? Either the English consul is acting with a full knowledge of the dispositions of his government, or he is not—the selection of the men however indicates an affirmative;—and Bond who was privy to all Porcupine's hostility to our government even in the days of John Adams is still retained. The hostility is uniform from that day to this, and it is not an empty or imbecile hostility; for look at the plain and obvious import of Mr. Consul Barclay's recommendation. Mr. Rutgers is "warmly federal" what is meant by this? Why the obvious meaning of this phrase is that he is a warm opposer of the measures and policy of the government of the United States. Is the fact so or not?—The facts agree—Mr. Rutgers is warmly federal—he is warmly opposed to the government, and therefore not only was his ship released from the claws of the harpies; but as we are informed, captain Beresford, was himself for "warmly federal," that when he found out the warm federalism of the supercargo, of the Messenger, he deplored having sent the vessel for adjudication and immediately went in search of her, nay he promised that on her arrival at Halifax she should be instantly released without delay or hindrance or even a trial, and even to
supply men to navigate her back, finding she belonged to gentlemen so warmly federal!
Now farmers of America are you surprised that the merchants, whose divinity is the goddess of per centage , should be all "warmly federal," when to be warmly federal in the good graces of a British consul, can save their ships and cargoes from piracy and depredation. You see in this damning fact , the premium which the English government holds forth for influencing your people: you see the cause of that influence in the sea ports, because in the sea ports alone you find warm federalism and warm devotion to England ; which in fact mean the same things.
Here then you have also a key to the mystery by which so many newspapers are upheld in opposition to your principles of government, to your pacific policy, and your best interests; papers which are not patronized for any merit intellectual or literary, but for being like Mr. Rutgers, warmly federal. Here you can perceive why Miranda's expedition was countenanced—it was warmly federal—and here too you may perceive why it is that there is such a mixture of triumph and apprehension concerning Burr's expedition—triumph because it is warmly federal in opposition to the peace and liberties of this country: apprehension because it is warmly federally feared that it may be frustrated and the warmly federal faction found at the bottom of it.
This warmly federal circumstance accounts to you, why you are caluminated because you are not warmly federal; you are temperately pacific , devoted to the unity and integrity of these slaves, happily confederated together—hear what an emissary of England says of the farmers of America, in a paper which imitating Mr. Burr's "union of all honest men," he calls "the people's friend."
It is a part of an essay on Burr's conspiracy , and here is the federal sentence passed by a British spy on the farmers of America.
"The natural cupidity of the people , sharpened into avarice by our execution experiments and the appetite for change and enterprize engendered, or at least fostered by the solitary condition of their lives would naturally have rendered them accessible to the insinuation of those who held out to them the promise of wealth in the mines of Mexico, and of new lands and new acquisitions in that rich part of the world."
Farmers of Kentucky, and of the union at large, what think you of this character given you by the pen of this Cullen? A man who neither knows you nor your country, other than by a stage coach journey from Charleston to New York.
A libel written at the moment when the energy of the farmers of the western country was giving a death blow to the hopes of traitors, and to the hopes of the warmly federal English faction.
The reason why the farmers of the western country are thus libelled, is not because they did join in Burr's conspiracy, but because they would not join in it. It was on the bench of justice, and at the bar of the courts of law, in the coffee houses, and gambling houses and brothels, that materials were sought and found—men above the dull pursuits of civil life.
Because the farmers will not deviate from their interests, thence it is that they are to be libelled by these infamous hirelings.
It is for a British emissary, supported by the mercantile interest of British agents, and of Americans, who according to the description of Mr. Barclay, the British consul at New York, deserves the appellation of "warmly federal"—it is for those men to charge our farmers with duplicity?
We know the common appellation of those British agents and of Mr. Barclay's men, "warmly federalists," when speaking of the farmers of America, is ignorant, stupid country boors.
This is the softest and mildest title afforded.
Slaves to the mercantile interests, and monied interests in Britain, those British agents and "warm federalists"—look on the farmers of America, as intended for their slaves here also.
Who labors harder and with more industry than the farmer?
Who better deserves the price he obtains for the produce of the farm—for the wheat, the barley, the flour, the corn, the pork, the poultry, or the fruits of the field?
Who are more contented, or who

give less cause of uneasiness to their fellow-citizens, than the farmer?
Who is less given to change? Who work harder to bring a fair interest for their capitals than the farmers? And yet this profligate emiliary Cullen, boldly asserts, that their cupidity and appetite for change , exposes them to the insinuations of every Burr or traitor ;—his subscription list belies his argument.
That they cannot be drawn to treason, or their own ruin, we should have thought the foolish labors of a Cobbett , would have sufficiently proved.
When Burr applied to general Eaton , to become his subject and take a subordinate command, was it because he thought Eaton a farmer , that he applied to him? No, Burr , in his conversation plainly pointed out who were the men he expected to join him.
"Men above the dull pursuits of civil life."
Had general Eaton been a farmer , Burr would never have applied to him—and his application was a direct insult to Eaton , and to every other man of Eaton's profession.
But the proposition met the fate it deserved— Eaton spurned the traitor, and after mature reflection exposed the treason.
And every man who is not a British agent or one of Barclay's "warmly federal"—every man who is a real citizen of America will disclose all they know.
Ask the Ogdens of New York, who have been concerned in those conspiracies, if it was the farmers , who embarked in Miranda's expedition? Did he beat up for volunteers among the farmers?
Who are the men that have left Pittsburgh to join Burr ?
Not farmers —a kind of negative beings who call themselves gentlemen, whose business is laziness and who abhor honest labor—many of whom are " students of snorality ."
And yet British hirelings "warmly federal" assert that farmers of America are ready to follow any robber who offers to lead them to the mines of Mexico!
A British spy , one of Barclay's "warmly federal" adherents, talks of cupidity !
More impudent libels or incitements to war, or any thing which can lead to war, or to embarrassment of the United States, never were to be expected in greater abundance than at the present moment.
The British influence never was lower than at this present moment—and such consuls as Barclay and such emi-fasaries as Cullen , are calculated to lay it prostrate—every American must pray that their right hands may never regain cunning.
Never were the eyes of our farmers more open to their intrigues.
And even the "genuine federalists" of Barclay , are now in deep distress withdrawing their support from her.
They see that nothing now is to be expected from her co-operations here and their zeal and love begin to cool. Cupidity , was the only motive of the attachment. But her consuls will still make the presses earn their unhallowed stipends—that they may preserve their places.
The farmers of America will in proportion as they are true to themselves, be traduced, abused and libelled.
The effects of the battle of Jena , will be ten fold more injurious to the pride and tyranny of George III. than the subjugation of all the south of Europe.
Buenos Ayres is not again re-captured by the British —and her arms are not in possession of the south part of Spanish America , as they vainly dreamt.
Burr's conspiracy will be defeated, and her views on the northern part of Spanish America , are also foiled.
The farmers of the western country , are not disposed to be subjects of Great Britain , by her vicey Burr .
The cruelties committed on our farmers during the revolution, the poisoning of thousands of farmers in the Jersey prison ships at New-York —do Cullen , or Barclay , when "warmly federal," feast their eyes with the bleached bones of our farmers and farmer's sons at the Wallabout ?
From the National Intelligencer.
In some measure released from the slavery of reporting the proceedings of Congress, we shall resume the discussion of such topics of an interesting nature as may in our opinion, merit the public attention, or require elucidation. Before entering into any detailed views, we cannot refrain from congratulating the nation on the unrivalled felicity which still continues to flow from the enlightened exertions of our government and the virtuous co-operation of the people. A virtuous government is a phenomenon of rare occurrence. Without arrogance we may say it is our exclusive distinction. At all times, and under all circumstances, of vast importance, it is almost infinitely so in the origin of institutions, new to the world, and consequently untried by any length of experience, and in a country which, from the fewness of its numbers, is not yet able to command that gigantic physical
force, which is so frequently the substitute for moral principle. The powers, now exercised by the several departments of the government, are little, if at all inferior in dignity, or the effects to be produced by them, to the more splendid functions discharged by the patriots who established our independence, and guaranteed its perpetuity by the admirable system of government under which we now repose in absolute safety. To the rulers of the present day we shall owe that regulated exercise of power, which will, in a high degree, establish the practical construction of the constitution on points of the first magnitude, and the formation of those modes of thinking on particular subjects which will probably continue for ages to influence our conduct as a nation. How deeply interesting then, is it, that, in the opening of our career, the administrators of our government should be virtuous! It is almost equally essential that they should be endowed with sufficient intelligence to pursue those measures which are best fitted to advance the general welfare, and which will be most effectual to guard against danger, or to meet it when inevitable. Without ascribing infallibility to any man, we dare to say that the American government possesses this necessary qualification. We dare to say, that next to the incorruptible integrity and good sense of the people, we are indebted to the government for the unrivalled blessings we enjoy. In proof of this we appeal to the common sense of every American.
That we enjoy unrivalled blessings none but a madman will dispute.
We are the only free nation on earth.
There is no other republic, or any thing like a republic.
There is no nation of the civilized world, in which the rights of conscience are so sacredly respected.
There is none in which the rights of property are fully secured.
There is none in which the public burthens are so light.
There is none in which the means of subsistence are so easily procured; or in which the road to comfort, to wealth, or honest fame, is so open.
The fruits of our institutions are peace, while the monarchies of the old world are so many raging volcanoes pouring forth their defolating torrents of lava, consigning to eternal sterility the most fertile regions of the globe.
If we compare the present state of our affairs with the past, we have ample reason for congratulation and confidence.
Since the last year our debt is diminished four millions of dollars.
Our treasury is in an overflowing state.
We have been enabled, without embarrassment, to relinquish the taxes on salt, considered by our fellow citizens as the most oppressive burthen laid upon them.
Our negotiations with foreign nations are proceeding in a spirit of amity and accommodation.
The interior, recently alarmed by the lawless machinations of a second Cataline , is already tranquillized.
Our agriculture, commerce, manufactures and numbers have all progressed with more than usual rapidity.
These are a few of the distinguished blessings we enjoy. That they are greatly owing to our government is equally indisputable with their existence.
A late federal writer, speaking of the measures of the federal administration, says,
"Energetic proceedings constituted their characteristic mark, and no 'cringing insipidity' could be traced."
Then, speaking of the present administration, he says it is "scoffed and menaced at by the Barbary powers ."
Confound impudence! Has this writer forgotten, the ships of war and other tributary property given to " Barbary powers " under the federal administration —and the resistance to their demands made by the present administration?
O, the folly of grumblers! [ Litchfield, Con. Witness. ]
The federal printer, Mr. Collier , in Litchfield, (Con.) has lately obtained a verdict of 400 dollars against Sellick Osborne , the republican editor of the Witness , in the same town, for a libel (so called.)—Mr. Osborne has a long time been confined in a narrow cell in prison for similar hatched up offences. He was to have again come into the world this spring: But Lucifer feldom gets such choice prey! He has been in possession of a handsome property; but it has all become a prey to the federal holy reign of terror in that state. He is a young man of sober character, and his morals unimpeachable, except before a tribunal of Connecticut junto priests and lawyers; who are pouring verdicts of fines and imprisonment, that more obedient, holy fowls may the better be conducted over the river to inherit the land of milk and honey! ( Norfolk Repository. )
BY THE MAILS.
BY ROBERT WILLIAMS, Governor of the Mississippi Territory, A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas AARON BURR , Esq. late vice president of the United States, was bound in recognizance to appear at the supreme court of this territory, himself in the sum of five thousand dollars, and two securities in the sum of two thousand five hundred dollars each, "to answer any bills of indictment that might be found against him, and to continue to appear from "day to day, until dismissed by the "said court," which he has failed to comply with, and as it appears has made his escape:
I do, therefore, issue this my proclamation for apprehending the said Aaron Burr , Esq. and by the powers and authorities which I possess, will pay or cause to be paid, to any person or persons who will take the person of said Aaron Burr , and cause him to be delivered to me at this place, or to the President of the United States, the sum of two thousand dollars.
Given under my hand, at the town of Washington, this 6th day of Feb. 1807. ROBERT WILLIAMS.
Gen. Adair has appeared in print. He stoutly denies any concern in Burr's projects—threatens vengeance against Wilkinson , and shews his teeth at the President. All this is perfectly natural. He may be innocent—but if he were guilty, he would doubtless pursue this very same course. A man who would betray his country, would not stick at falsehood to wipe off the odium. ( Trent. T. American. )
Both Burr and Adair , while they profess great patriotism themselves, affect to know that Wilkinson is a traitor. If so, was it consistent with their patriotism to conceal his treachery, until the exposition is forced from them in defence of themselves? Ibid
A New York federal paper called the "People's Friend," when Burr's conspiracy was first unfolding itself to the public eye, contained among other similar observations the following—
"It will not admit of a doubt that on such an occasion the President ought to have called congress together and applied to them to suspend the Habeas Corpus and then dispatched, without a moment's delay, persons to arrest Mr. Burr ; or 'else to have done so at once, on his own responsibility, and trusted to Congress for an indemnity. Should the conspirators effect any great mischief to the country this will become a subject of serious enquiry; therefore we here drop it."
And yet the same party which recommended such measures, are anathematizing the comparatively lenient system adopted! Ibid
CONMISSION.
It is really surprising to hear the ravings of some men amongst us about the late seizures by Wilkinson at New Orleans . The measure may be right or wrong. Time will unfold its merits, and I will suspend my opinion until I can obtain a "view of the whole ground."
The loud declaimer against the administration on account of this procedure, and furious guardians of our constitutional rights, would do well to recollect certain things which happened during the insurrections, if so both of them may properly be called, in Pennsylvania. Were not twice that number of innocent men ( Supposing Adair, &c. to be so ) dragged from their homes, and confined as felons in the "dark and dreary dungeon"—Did not Alexander Hamilton preside as a judge to determine who should and who should not be sent to prison, on suspicion? Were not many imprisoned against whom no proofs of guilt could be adduced, as well in the western insurrection as in consequence of the hot-water war in Northampton ? Most certainly there were. Was there any thing more unconstitutional in the behavior of Wilkinson than in the conduct of different officers in the two preceding administrations?
Now I neither condemn nor approve. So many mysteries have encircled the affairs to the westward, and so many contradictory accounts consequently promulgated, that the mind is at a loss to determine "what is truth." Let us wait patiently—things may appear very different from what they do now.
I have only to add, that it does not much become those to abuse the administration, who commended two others for pursuing similar conduct—admitting the administration can be implicated by the proceedings of Wilkinson . If it was right twelve years ago, it is now right. ( Baltimore Evening Post. )
NEW ORLEANS, FEB. 5. Extract of a letter from the Branch Pilot, stationed at the Balize, dated 26th Jan. 1807.
"It gives us pain to inform you of the distressing event of the loss of
five of our best deputy pilots. On the 21st inst. between 4 and 5 o'clock, P. M. the brig Upbenia , Capt. Torrey , came down and made signal for a pilot, it blew very hard at N. N. W. We sent Lawrence , Barney , Harrison , Johnston , & Robertson , 5 of our best men. They took the brig out. At dark they appeared to be nearly half way up from the bar. The wind increased and blew from the north with extreme cold. We neither saw nor heard more of them, and next morning we sent a boat which searched all the islands for them in vain. In the afternoon a brig appeared off the N. E. pass, and the whole boat being sent through that pass, they there found the boat full of water, with Lawrence and Johnston laying dead in the stern sheets, and Harrison on the fore thwart leaning on the gunwale, having no doubt, perished in that situation; neither Robertson nor Barney could be found."
NASHVILLE, (Tenn.) FEB. 21.
HORRID !!
On the night of the 9th inst. the most villainous act of barbarity within our recollection, was perpetrated within a mile of the three forks of Duck-river , on the defenceless family of Philip Burrow , who lately removed to that place from Goose-creek . Mr. Burrow being from home, at his former residence, a negro man the property of Capt. W. Wilborn , came to the house of Mr. B. Mrs. B. having occasion to go out, the negro followed, knocked her down, and after confining her with her leathern belt, committed a crime too offensive to name. Mrs. B. requested (of him) to see her children before he killed her, (which it appears he expected,) they accordingly returned to the house, where he attempted with an iron pan handle to murder her and her children (five in number,) and completed his designs (as he supposed) on the mother and three of the children, the other two, affrighted, kept close covered in bed, and escaped his notice. The villain, then robbing the house of what he could carry away, set fire to the house, in hopes thus to hide his guilt by consuming altogether. But the mother and the two oldest children recovering from the stun given, escaped to the wood, with those unhurt previous to the house being enveloped in flames, leaving the youngest child, (a fucking infant,) dead in the house to be consumed by fire!
The perpetrator of this horrid act, was taken next morning within a quarter of a mile of the place, tried by a jury of the neighbours, and hanged. He confessed that his intention was to murder the whole family!
We understand Mrs. Burrow and the mangled children, are despatched of; one of the children a little girl, being considerably burnt before she got from the house.
NORTHAMPTON, (Mass.) MARCH 11.
4th OF MARCH.
The Republicans of the county of Hampshire, wishing to manifest their attachment to Republican principles, and their respect to the General Government, assembled at Hatfield , on the 4th inst., to commemorate the glorious anniversary of the TRIUMPH OF DEMOCRACY.
The citizens began to assemble at an early hour. The procession, consisting of nearly 400 respectable men, under the direction of Col. Alexander , of Northfield , and Major Lyman , of this town, formed at half past one o'clock, P. M. in the following order:
A band of Music.
Citizens.
Committee of Arrangements.
Clergy and Orator.
The exercises of the day were commenced by an appropriate prayer by the Rev. Mr. Montague of Leavitt . After noticing the many signal instances of Divine favor manifested toward the people of this country—particularly in conducting our ancestors to their asylum, far from the cruel arm of persecution—in supporting us under the guidance of Washington, through the arduous conflict of the revolution—He thanked God that the United States were at present blessed with a wise and virtuous Chief Magistrate, who instead of shutting up the houses of religious worship and persecuting the ministers of the gospel, as had been falsely predicted he would do; had left them in the peaceable exercise of religion, and all in the enjoyments of "their own vines and fig trees with none to make them afraid." This is but a slight sketch of Mr. Montague's prayer. We should be more particular. But we feel that it is not in our power to do him justice.
The Oration, pronounced by Samuel Brazier, Jr. Esq. of New-Salem , was such as might have been expected, from one of his distinguished talents.
Benjamin Smith, Esq. of Hatfield , and Solomon Smeal, Esq. of Greenfield , officiated as President & Vice President of the day. The following toasts were drank at the entertainment.
1. The 4th of March 1801—The day on which Democracy triumphed over king craft, priest craft, hypocrisy and delusion. 2. The people of the United States—possessing the physical strength of the country, they have had the discernment to wield it to the destruction of tyrants and impostors. 3. Republican Government—the best for the people—the worst for tyrants. 4. The Farmers and Mechanics of our Country; While their interests are protected, the interest of the Merchant, the Lawyer, and the Priest are protected as much as they should be.
5. The Commercial interest—Better protected by a system of economy and peace, than by extensive naval establishments & ward. 6. Religion—May those who pretend to be its exclusive friends, not be deprived of its consolation in a dying hour. 7. The Press—Although Governors and Judicial despotism shall combine to destroy it; it shall still speak a language terrible to the hoary speculator, and shall make the unjust Judge tremble on the bench. 8. Thomas Jefferson—The early assertor of our liberties and the only head of a nation friendly to the rights of man. 9. The Congress, and heads of department,—Adhering to the system of economy; they are entitled to the applause of the nation. 10. Massachusetts—The cradle of our revolution, may it prove the grave of Aristocracy and Anglo-federalism. 11. James Sullivan—Attacked by Forgers, and condemned by convicts—he deserves the support of honest men. 12. Levi Lincoln—The firm opposer of clerical violence, like Luther he has dared to expose the vices of the clergy. 13. The memory of Washington. 14. The memory of Heroes and Statesmen of the Revolution. 15. The Union—May the hand wither that shall attempt to divide it. 16. The County of Hampshire—May the vile intrigant at the unjust imprisonment of one of her fellow-citizens—return to the principles of '76 and disappoint the hopes of federalists and speculators. 17. The oppressed of all Nations—May their chains be broken. 18. The memory of Charles Austin—Exemplary vengeance will pursue the wretch that shed his blood, while the martyr to filial affection shall be had in sweet remembrance. Volunteers by Gentlemen of the company. Civil Government and the Altar—May their alliance no longer subserve the purposes of despotism! Thomas Paine—Thanks for his Revolutionary services, honor for his genius, esteem for his integrity, praise for his patriotism—His religion we leave with his God. Judge Parsons—"And the judges will I judge with the Lord." Defeat and disgrace to office-seekers of both parties—May the swinish multitude be the upper crust.
From a late Baltimore paper. Singular Phenomenon.
Captain Lewis Alexander  Sendrey , of the three masted Schooner United States , of New Orleans , who failed from the Mississippi for Trinidad , in the island of Cuba , reports,
That on the 22d of September, 1806, at noon, perceived the land, being the higher part of Trinity ; he made all sail, intending, if the wind, which blew from the S. S. E. continued, to anchor at Cayo Blanco .
At two o'clock a quantity of clouds appeared of various colors, which absolutely prevented the sight of land and reached the Zenith. The horizon, dreadfully dark communicated its shade to the upper part of the sky; as it advanced, the horizon of the earth bore the same appearance as that of the sea, so that at five o'clock, M. P. the wind ceased and he found himself becalmed, distant nearly to Bocca ( Trinity river 5 leagues to the N. W.) At the same instant the horizon and sky presented the same scene, and he found himself between both. This was frightful, the whole of the horizon of a jetty black, polar circles of a dark pale white, bepangled with flares of fire; the vault of heaven or the zenith, of a dark color, resembling the horizon; it had the appearance of a frightful equinox, and presented the most gloomy horrors of nature.
In this situation, the captain and crew did not feel comfortable; by force, they resigned themselves to their fate, when, all at once, at three quarters past five, the vessel being off the N. E. part of the city of Trinity , there appeared, in the polar circle, the appearance of an eye of large dimensions, out of which there came a large water spout, which immediately made an abundant discharge, about one league from the vessel. Examining with attention this phenomenon, what was the captain's surprise, on perceiving, ten minutes after the spout commenced discharging, that it attracted his vessel towards it, and that in the space of six minutes it had been attracted half a league. Consternation was perceivable in all present; the captain felt the necessity of having guns on board; he looked upon himself as lost without redemption, if the hand of Providence did not interpose in his behalf. The discharge from the water spout was immense, which gave them hopes that it would soon spend itself. They were in error, for if a shower from the northward had not providentially fallen, they would have inevitably been drawn into its vortex; he made all possible sail for the cape S. S. W. during one quarter of an hour, which proved his salvation.—Had not this variation of wind taken place, the Schooner and crew would have been lost.
The same shower from the northward had not yet ceased, when the wind shifted instantly to that part where the spout had burst. The rain and wind continued with violence during one hour—they were obliged to run under bare poles before the wind. Immediately a calm ensued, and on every side the water poured down of the thickness of a finger until midnight, so that the scuppers scarcely sufficed for the discharge of the rain.

EUROPE.
But little intelligence of moment has lately reached us from Europe. It appears, however, that the Porte has declared war against Russia, and that a large Turkish army was preparing to take the field, under the command of the Grand Visier. A Russian corps has passed the Dneister, and entered Moldavia. A good understanding seems to exist between the Porte and France, and no doubt that the French and Ottoman armies will make their movements at the opening of the campaign, with perfect concert. If they should, Russia must, for the first time, put in requisition all the resources of her immense empire.

THE TREATY.
We learn from Washington, that Mr. Purviance has arrived from Europe with the Original of the British Treaty, which has been laid before the National Council.
The official copy of the Treaty with England appears not to have been received by the President on the 15th inst. from the American Ministers in London—Yet the federalists charge Mr. Jefferson with refusing to lay it before the Senate on the 3d, the day that Congress adjourned. But if federalism is to be credited, he was bound to lay a Treaty before the Senate when he had not seen it, and that too on the evening when it is said he had seen it. It is known besides that one third of the members of the Senate went out of office on that very evening—their commission expiring at 12 o'clock—Time enough, however, for the federalists to deliberate upon a treaty that has taken nearly two years in making. The British government required almost two years to agree to it, and the American Senate ought to have just so many hours, and this when a dozen new members out of 34 were to come into office the next morning, and many of these Senators only at the trifling distance of 7 or 800 miles from Washington.—Very well. But the President intends to reject the Treaty, say these unceasing grumblers. Let him first see the whole treaty, and we may then expect he will employ his best judgment upon it, and in due time it will be submitted to the Senate, if it is proper ever to come before that body. Suppose however, a highly objectionable note has been delivered to our Ministers subsequent to the period when they agreed to sign the treaty. Suppose Great Britain has insolently demanded that we should unite with them in an attempt to force France to lift their Blockade; and suppose a threat is added, if we do not, that the Treaty will not be ratified by the British government on its return to England? Under these circumstances, is there a real American who would wish the treaty to be agreed to in this country? It is expected there is not one. Ardently as an accommodation is desired with England, it can never take place upon such base conditions. [Salem Register.]
It is now affirmed from undoubted authority, that the British treaty is absolutely inconsistent with our national dignity and neutrality, in consequence of the conditions annexed to it. It is also known to be the opinion of many, if not all the federal members of Congress, that the condition insisted on as the sine qua non of ratification, is inadmissible on our part, and ought to be rejected. It is stated as a fact, that the signing of the articles of the treaty, and the letter of our Ministers to Government on the subject, were previous to this extra diplomatic proceeding of the British. The President of the United States by his wisdom and prudence has foiled the federal carpers at executive measures, and their venom is consuming their gangrened hearts, for want of new motives to vent it. [Chronicle.]
National Debt.
A late report of the secretary of the treasury gives the amount of the public debt on the first day of each of the seven last years, as follows:
 1801, Dolls. 81.996.268 49  1802, — 78.750.669 83  1803, — 74.728.023 98  1804, — 85.349.744 35  1805, — 80.530.159 78  1806, — 74.539.058 75  1807, — 67.727.756 76 
So that it is evident that besides purchasing Louisiana, the democrats have, in six years, diminished the public debt more than fourteen millions two hundred and sixty thousand dollars.
To some rank monarchists and raging federalists we know the above intelligence will not be grateful—but real republicans will receive it with joy. [True American.]
Massachusetts Election.
Republican Nominations.
United we stand—Divided we fall.

JOHN WOODMAN, & JOSEPH STORER, Esquires; Senators for the county of York;—and that it be recommended to the Citizens of Massachusetts who venerate the glorious principles of '75, and the characters who steadily adhere to them, to use their utmost endeavors and influence both before, and on the day of election to ensure the complete triumph of the REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS. [Boston paper.]
WILLIAM FROST, Esq. is the only Republican candidate for County Treasurer and Recorder of Deeds, for York county.

"Energetic" Government;
A Hessian paper, dated Cassel, Nov. 13, says—"since 1760, the commencement of the reign of George III, our sovereigns, have sold upwards of 52,000 unfortunate Hessians to the English, all of whom "have died on board their vessels or in their colonies."
RELIGION AND LIBERTY.
Extract of a letter from an American citizen in Calcutta, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated Oct. 10, 1806.
"Your packet was delivered soon after my arrival here, to the Rev. Dr. Cary, who was then engaged respecting some missionaries who arrived a few days before, in the ship Benjamin Franklin, captain Wickes, from London. The government insists on captain Wickes' taking them back, and declares, that he will not be permitted to clear his ship out without he takes them back. It will not be settled till the ship be ready for clearing out, and at present it is very doubtful, whether the captain will not be forced to comply in returning the missionaries he brought with him. The government here is unfavorable to the preaching of the gospel, as their arbitrary power would of course then cease."
Commerce of London —The value of British produce and manufactures, exported from the port of London alone, to all Countries (except the East Indies and China) in the three quarters ending the 25th Oct. 1806, was no less than £8,691,811 ft.
Advices are received from New-Orleans as late as the 17th February. From these and other sources of information, it appears that all was tranquil at New-Orleans, and that a relaxation had taken place in the measures adopted for defending that place.
Hopes are revived again that Mungo Park, the traveller is still alive.
"Farmer's Museum" suspended. —From the Museum of the 13th inst. we learn, that it is to be suspended at the close of this month. This establishment is fourteen years old—has maintained, much of the time, a respectable standing for literary productions—has at length died of consumption—pre-disposing cause, "want of patronage." [Amberst Cabinet.]
COMMERCIAL.
A letter from Antigua, dated February 10, says—"The cruizers of his Britannic majesty in these seas, are certainly pursuing a course of the most determined hostility to our commerce. Our vessels are daily sent in here for adjudication on pretexts the most trifling and frivolous. At this moment there are at least fifteen sail of northern vessels, actually under libel, three of which were destined for Laguna, and Cumana, and others generally on their return voyages from Martinique & Guadalupe; & I will not hesitate to say, that from the very extraordinary doctrine laid down by the judge of the vice admiralty court of this island, all our vessels bound to and from Spanish and French ports, will be exposed to all the consequences of capture and detention. I cannot pretend to say whether the British government has lately issued any new orders to their vessels, but certainly their outrageous conduct to our flag for the last six weeks, is of so extraordinary a nature, as to excite serious apprehensions for the safety of our commerce.
The American ship Brutus, of 30 guns and 140 men, 15 days from New-York, was spoken in lat. 25, lon. 26—she was in a very leaky condition, making 18 inches of water in 15 minutes—had her stern much shattered; having two days before had an engagement with a British frigate, near Bermuda. A brig was in co. to assist the ship should occasion require.
MARRIED.
At Passawunk (Maine.) Mr. SAMUEL SMART, to Miss SALLY PAINE. Two lovers, Pierced by Cupid's dart, Long figh'd for Hymen's chain. She kindly wish'd to have her SMART, And he to have her PAINE.
A Priest they call'd, nor call'd in vain, His blessing to impart: He soon gave longing Samuel PAINE, And made fond Sally SMART.
The Pittsfield Sun, of the 7th inst. contains the following wagging announcement of a marriage—
Was married, at Canaan—last Saturday morn. A couple that Hymen's gay court will adorn; It was Mr. John Wright, of Rome, in York State, To Mary Ann Raymond, from Richmond of late.
And if they have done well or not in times past, It plainly appears the has got Wright at last.

DIED.
At Wolfborough, Col. HENRY RUST, aged 82, formerly of this town. On Thursday last, departed this life, after a short illness, Mr. DANIEL WENDELL, a son of John Wendell, Esq. of this town, in the 24th year of his age, and on Saturday last his remains were deposited in the silent grave, followed by a long train of mourning relatives, near friends, and by many of every class of his fellow-citizens, of every distinction, who on this solemn occasion paid their last respects to his virtuous memory.
In this young gentleman, his aged parents have sustained a heavy stroke of GOD's providence in bereaving them of a dutiful, attentive and respectful Son; his brothers and sisters, a fond and affectionate brother, whose sole delight, was in consulting their sole good.—In HIM, his relations lament the loss of a loving kindman, to whom his deportment had made him a pleasant companion; and his friends and fellow-citizens will feel themselves deprived of many valuable endowments, and virtues, which nature and education were preparing for their future service—but alas, DEATH, the grim tyrant of the stage, has blasted all our rising hopes, and taken him from this vale of tears, and sent him to the mansion of the grave, the place appointed for all the living, —may we who survive, improve by this heavy dispensation of GOD's providence, and be prepared for our own dissolution, and for our spiritual and eternal happiness in the realms of light and joy.
In this town, Mrs. ANNA WELCH, aged 66, widow of the late Wm. Welch.

FASHION'S SAKE.
Fashion! little flippant thing! What in fashion did thee bring? That the gentlefolks should make Such a fuss—For fashion's sake. Why large buckles? why the small? Why no buckles now at all? If the matter right I take, A-la-mode—For fashion's sake.
One time this, at one time that! Now a large, then little hat; Fight a duel—like a flake, Kill a die—For fashion's sake. See the Misses, full of glee, How they sit and sip their tea! Not a morsel will they take, They must fast—For fashion's sake.
See the Masters, full of pride, Twelve inch cane and hat aside, How they swagger, act the rake, Curse and swear—For fashion's sake.
Gaiters, now large boots the taste, Pantaloons, and spencer'd waist; What Jack puddings people make Of themselves—For fashion's sake.
Tails, pomatum, powder, yield; Crops alone maintain the field; Lord! what various modes we take To deck fools' heads—For fashion's sake.
Fickle fashion! why this fuss? Acting and behaving thus: Must the wife thy whims partake, And be fools—For fashion's sake?
But, I see the reason's plain; Trade will have the greater gain; Many honest folks can make, Longer bills—For fashion's sake.
Who can read the following representation of the miserable condition of the Irish and not execrate the policy of that government which is its cause, and applaud from the heart the exertions of those patriots who have laboured, though unsuccessfully, to emancipate their country from such unparalleled oppression! It is from a person by no means unfavorable in sentiment to England, his native country. [Salem Reg.]
From Carr's Stranger in Ireland.
Who, but those who know the fact, would believe, that such a "strong, hardy, bold, brave laborious, warm-hearted and faithful race of men," should be so sunk in the scale of society as they are? In Ireland there is a description of men who are like so many ravenous wolves among the peasantry, known by the name of middle men. Between the actual proprietor and the occupant of the land, there are frequently no less than five progressive tenants, who frequently never see the land they hold, & which is assigned from one to the other, until encumbered and dispirited by such a concatenation of exaction, instead of being able to make thrice the amount of his rent, as he ought to be enabled to do, namely, one third for his landlord, another for the support of his family, and the remaining part for contingencies, the last taker can scarcely, after infinite toil and privation, pay his immediate lord, and clothe himself and his family.
A farm was lately pointed out to me in the south west part of Ireland, for which the occupier paid 400 l. a year, a rent which in England is very respectable, and would secure, with common good husbandry and prudence, a very comfortable maintenance for the tenant and his family, and enable him to lay a little by; but instead of any appearance of comfort, the farmer was half naked, and his wife and family in rags.—How little the land must experience the reinvigorating benefits of good husbandry can easily be imagined. The soil thus circumstanced resembles a starved horse carrying treble. Without being slaves in fact, their condition is little better than vassalage in its most oppressive form. Potatoes and buttermilk, the food of an English hog, form the degenerating repast of an Irish peasant; a little oatmeal is a delicacy; Sunday a bit of pork a great and rare luxury. Depressed to an equality with the beast of the field, he shares his sorry meal with his cow, his dog, and his pig, who frequently feed with him, as his equal associates out of the same bowl.
This scene of degradation, and a conviction that his wretchedness has scarcely any thing below it in the scale of human penury, frequently lead the unhappy peasant to mingle in those unfortunate tumults, which have so long and so fatally retarded the improvements of his country; and when he beheld how hopeless were the exertions of rebellion, to rush forward in the scene of slaughter, uncover his head and bow it to the bullets of his enemy.

REV. MR. ALDEN'S ACADEMY AT PORTSMOUTH FOR MASTERS AND MISSES. The object of this institution is to teach, in separate apartments, both sexes in the same branches, which are usually taught at the most noted academies in the United States; so that the masters may have opportunity to prepare for the counting room or for college, and the misses for acquiring such an education, as to preclude the necessity of going abroad for that purpose. As much time is reserved for vacations, and as much also is devoted to the business of instruction, as is customary at other academies. EVERY pupil, who has never been under MR. ALDEN's tuition, pays one dollar at entrance. THE masters pay seven dollars a quarter. THE misses, who attend to the instructions of the preceptor and to common needlework, pay six dollars a quarter. Those who attend to the ornamental branches of needlework, pay the additional sum of a dollar, that is, seven dollars a quarter. EACH pupil pays twenty five cents for room rent. THOSE, who wish to take lessons on the pianoforte can receive instructions from MR. HOLYOKE by paying three dollars, at entrance, and fifty cents a lesson. MR. ALDEN has two keyed instruments, of which his pupils can have the use, at three dollars a quarter. MR. ALDEN has accommodations for boarding a number of misses, at three dollars a week. Their washing is done, at fifty cents a dozen. A preceptress, of the desired accomplishment and of experience, has been engaged for the summer establishment, which commences on the fourteenth of April. AN assistant preceptor, of liberal education and abilities, will be employed. SHOULD the encouragement be equal to what MR. ALDEN has reason to anticipate, an assistant preceptress will also aid in carrying on this institution. 3d March, 1807.
