OTEZ! OTEZ! OTEZ!
WHEN the attention of the public is solicited by the author of a recent discovery, and in declaiming on its virtues he becomes the panegyrist of his own merits, he will naturally incur the imputation of vanity; but it is not impossible that with such a defect, more noble qualities may be united. "Instead, therefore, of judging liberally respecting the motives of those who make themselves the heroes of their own tale, ought we not rather to encourage individuals of active and cultivated minds, to present us with the details of their professional progress, with the fruits of their experience, and with the results of their matured reflections."
DENNISON'S
Improved Jaundice Bitters; OR THE GRAND ANTIBILIOUS CORRECTIVE. The Jaundice is discovered by want of appetite, colliveness, dullness and oppression, at times an irresistible propensity for sleep, and at others, too great watchfulness, a yellowness is by degrees diffused over the complexion, tinges the urine, and the whole mass of the fluids are infected with bilious secretions, and in process of time the blood acquires a tendency to dissolution and purification; in these cases it either degenerates into a dropsy or ends in an apoplexy.
They are particularly serviceable in habitual coollness, and in an oppressed and weak stomach. They are gratefully warm and pungently aromatic; exert wind in the easiest manner, without immoderately heating or relaxing the bowels; they are extremely serviceable in all seasons, but in the course of my practice I have proved them particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bilious habits experience such a total loss of appetite, listlessness and oppression; in such instances, by the application of this remedy the stomach is invariably fortified, appetite and digestion effectually promoted, and plentiful perspiration produced. Being peculiarly adapted to cleanse the urinary passages, they are singularly serviceable in dropsies, by giving tone to the solids, enriching the blood, and invigorating the whole system. From their celebrity as an antidote against the scurvy, they are particularly calculated for seafaring persons, to whose attention they are respectfully recommended. Persons leading sedentary inactive lives, are most subject to these complaints. All, therefore, in such situations, though not immediately aware of inconveniences, would act wisely by securing a continuance of health, by means of this generous stomachic, as well as all epicures and bon vivants who wish for a delicious and delicate preparative for the appetite, the best companion at the festive board.
** These Bitters are sold by the sole agent, at No. 48, Newbury-Street, corner of Winter-Street, Boston, N. England, who has authorized some person as Vendor in all the principal towns in the New England States,—viz.—Mr. CHARLES PEARCE, for Portsmouth, and Mr. JOSIAH GILMAN, for York, by whom the above may be had Wholesale and Retail.

Political Miscellany.
FROM THE AURORA.
Who wanted Energy?
Never was there so splendid a triumph of principle, as arises from the documents communicated by the President on the 19th February to both branches of the legislature. They constitute a complete decision of the point in dispute between the two parties.
Every honest Federalist must bow in submission to such a decision of the only question which has divided the people; and such as do not must be considered as malcontents, wishing evil to the nation to gratify their envy against men who have seen more correctly than themselves and leaders. Every dispute has been about the measures best calculated to secure our peace. The federalists contending for energy or force, the Republicans for reason.
Energy in Government is but another name for force. Force can only arise from numbers in pay—the support of which numbers becomes of itself a burden, which burden begets additional uneasiness, calls for more force to compel submission, this additional force is an additional burden, and begets additional uneasiness, calling for still more force, and thus alternately each end of the balance will preponderate, until the whole physical force of the nation is put in requisition, and the energy must be the heaviest end of the scale before a nation can be secure.
Such is the condition of every energetic government in Europe.
The numbers then in pay as civil, military and ecclesiastical, with the arms and means in their possession, are able to beat and keep in subjection the remainder of the nation, scattered over the country, divided in opinions and unprovided for a contest as they are. And unless such be the case, the very scheme of a government of energy would defeat itself.
In place of this energy or force, the republicans have contended for justice and reason; that a people whose government was of their own choice, and whose administrators impose no burden, nor restrain no rights, (or such only as is absolutely necessary) can never require energy or force to keep themselves in order or subjection. That there can be nothing for a people to oppose save burdens or restraints, consequently that government is most safe which has least energy or force; because there will be neither burdens nor restraints.
To this it has been replied—Suppose there be no civil dissensions from opposition to laws under such a government, what is there to preserve the government against a demagogue assuming supreme power, and overturning all as Bonaparte, Cromwell, and Cæsar have done heretofore?
The answer is, the good sense of the people is sufficient security. In America there is no personal attachment—it is not men the people follow, it is measures, and both parties have given sufficient evidence that their highest characters are dismissed and debased as soon as a dereliction of principles is discovered—consequently none could succeed to mislead the people. That the only thing which would favor a usurper would be burdens and restraints—which beget discontent and dispose the people to join any leader who would promise to redress their grievances. That so far from Bonaparte, Cromwell, or Cæsar having taken advantage of weak governments, or governments without energy, the truth is, that each of them assumed their governments when the energies of their nations were at the greatest height. That it was the energies of miserable armies which formed the ladders upon which they successively mounted to the thrones of their respective nations, and which they could not have done, but for the armies, and therefore proves the danger of such.
Tempted by the success of these high examples, and this opinion of federalists, Col. Burr, late the second in office and second to no man in talents and intrigue, has brought on the trial of this disputed point. His means were such as were to be expected, high promises and expectations to his followers. But although his attempt was on the weak side of the government, yet he never found a place where he dare to raise a standard. He has fled before the people he went to revolutionize, and is at length induced to surrender himself their prisoner. Here then is a decision.—

This question is no longer a point of dispute. It is not now a question about safety without energy or force—the question is changed to its relative— Are we safe with energy?
In answering this question, let it be remembered colonel Burr had no army. Gen. Wilkinson was tempted and fell not; but let it be supposed for a moment, Burr had had an army, or Wilkinson had a little less virtue and carried his army to relieve Burr, what might have been expected? A small army over-awes a great many civil men, but whatever might have been the issue, we now behold clearly, that all the danger which existed, arose from the army, that little patch of energy: and that if that army was ten times as great, our security would be ten times less than if not a regiment existed. Put a general at the head of twenty thousand men, and even the President will not dare offend such general, but if the president and general unite, the people are at their mercy.
But what will you do in time of war? says a man of energy.
Keep out of it, says a man of reason. The nation which rules on justice and reason, has the same security for peace which a quaker has in his society: and we see to a certainty that being prepared for war has not saved one of the governments of Europe from its calamities.
It is next to impossible that the United States can have a cause of war with any power of Europe unless it originates about foreign commerce; and it is equally impossible to force a commerce by war. Hence war is no measure for us, and no wise administration will ever propose one.
On the other hand, we find even a remedy for restraints on commerce, in reason, in justice—tho' this too, has been disputed by the parties. While the one has denounced non-importation as a weak, foolish, provoking measure, the other has relied upon it in preference to energy or war and the result is complete proof of its efficacy.
England treats under the existence of a non-importation law, and yields to Jefferson and a republican administration what the negotiating Washington, nor war-making Adams, with the unanimity of the first, and partiality of the last could never obtain.
Here then is proof positive in favor of justice and reason, and against energy.
To deny the force of these decisions in settling the questions which have divided the parties, is as unfair and unreasonable as for the debtor to deny the payment of a debt, when a bond becomes due.
As to France we will say nothing, because we have no reason to complain of, nor to feel her power, as we were prosecuting no measure against her; but the contrary, for even her all conquering emperor voluntarily exempts us from his decree of universal blockade, which can only be viewed as a measure of justice due to our peaceable habits, and the importance of our commercial influence—and to that system which forbids our sending ambassadors to Constantinople, or to Lisbon, to Prussia, or to Switzerland, to be the emissaries of other governments.
It is really amusing to see the various twistings, and turnings, and quibbles, and lies direct, made use of by the federalists, when they with to support some ridiculous hypothesis, or subvert a well established fact. Contradiction and inconsistency have become so habitual, that they appear to court, rather than avoid them; and having once committed an error, they prefer the inexplicable mazes of extravagance and folly, to a frank and ingenuous acknowledgment.
The late conspiracy has afforded numerous instances in illustration of this.
The very man who was a few years since denounced as a murderer and an outlaw , has been metamorphosed by the blackest treason , into an honest and peaceable citizen.—Burr, whose guilt must be obvious to every man who does not view the case through the goggles of prejudice, has found a supporter in every federal editor throughout the union—those very editors, who so lately persecuted and hunted him from society, for killing their political deity in a duel.
We have been told of Mr. Jefferson's neglect of duty in permitting the conspiracy to progress so long—we are again told that no conspiracy has existed.
Gen. Eaton was once a brave soldier , and a man of honour —now he is a liar and defamer .
In one breath they tell us of the irbecility and oppression of the government—of the puffianimity and "energy" of the President.
One printer says Mr. Burr's intentions were highly honorable —another, that all his followers were democrats ! This appears to be the most dreadful blunder of all—federalists linking democracy and honour together!
Yet, with all these absurdities staring them in the face, (and these are but a small sample) they will us to believe that all the talents and honesty are centred in federalism. Now a plain, unsoftified republican, who desires to keep the beaten track, and see his way clearly
before he ventures, will require more positive proof—he must have facts.—As the public good is his aim, he makes truth his guide; and with this unerring monitor, he is enabled to dispel the clouds of falsehood and deception, raised by the enemies of the true interests of his country, and perceive the falsity of those principles which actuate the opponents of a rational and highly beneficial administration. [Republican Advocate.]
The following precious morsceau ought not to be lost. It is extracted from a Boston paper, far-famed for its support of "steady habits, religion, liberty and law!" The date is at that period (1798) when the "friends of order," were cantering on a "high horse," and bearing the becom of destruction with a "high hand." The mind sickens at the retrospect. [Baltimore E. Post.]
COCKADES.
"ALL friends to their country and government will soon be ornamented with the FEDERAL COCKADE."—A few days will accomplish this; and it is a consummation devoutly to be wished; it will fix a MARK upon the FEW INEXORABLE VILLAINS, who will not or dare not put it on, it will point those WRETCHES out as the DESTESTED FOES of the U. S. They will skulk through the streets with marks of public scorn, they will be hooted by the boys, and will finally be obliged to flee to their beloved France, or meet the doom which TRAITORS deserve, and they will ere long experience."
A new service of plate has lately been furnished for the prince of Wales, valued at 200,000 guineas—near one million of Dollars! When the people of this country recollect that this profligate's debts were lately paid by the British nation, after having allowed him the most enormous sums for his annual waste; that his father is one of the richest individuals in the world, and that the laboring class in England are paupers, they will justly estimate the blessings of kings and princes!

LATEST Foreign Intelligence.
By the ship George, arrived at New-York, 25 days from Greenock; and New-Packet, Scott, at Boston, 25 days from Liverpool—dates to March 23.
TURKEY. Constantinople, Jan. 25.
THE manifesto of the Porte against Russia was published here on the 5th instant. It states a number of grievances which it has experienced from Russia for several years past. It begins with the period of the possession of Crimea and the province of Georgia, and comes down to the recent occupation of Moldavia and Wallachia by Gen. Michaelson. It observes, that in consequence of these unworthy proceedings on the part of Russia, every musliman is called upon by his religion and civil duties to avenge himself upon a faithless enemy, and concludes with charging the Court of Russia with the responsibility of all the blood that may be shed on this occasion. A copy of this manifesto has been presented to all the foreign ministers residing at Constantinople.
PRUSSIA. Berlin, Feb. 26.
The last dispatches from the French head quarters are dated Leibstadt, Feb. 20. Since the affair of the 16th nothing has occurred. It took place near Ostrolenka, between Generals Savary and Essen. Gen. Savary, it seems, supported by the grenadiers of Oudinot, attacked the enemy, whose loss is estimated at 8 pieces of cannon, 2 standards, and 12,000 prisoners.
We are assured that the French head quarters will soon be transferred to Osterode, the better to keep up the communication between the other corps of the army. On the 17th the head quarters of the Grand Duke of Berg were at Wirttemberg, not far from the Pregel. His patroles very nearly approached Koningsburg.
DENMARK. Copenhagen, March 3.
According to accounts from St. Peterburgh, 4 Russian Generals were killed and wounded in the battle of Eylau. Among them, M. Rogin, commandant of the cuirassiers of the guards—Major General Barclay de Tolly is wounded in the arm. The battle was fought upon a plain, about 20 wersts in circumference. Gen. Buxhoevden's corps joined that of Gen. Benningfen near Eylau. Several regiments expended all their cartridges in the battle, and were compelled to make use of the bayonet.
62d BULLETIN OF THE FRENCH GRAND ARMY.
Liebstadt, February 21. "The right of the Grand Army has been victorious, like the centre and the left. General Essen, at the head of 25,000 men, advanced to Ostrolenka on the 15th, along the two banks of the Narew; when arrived at
the village of Flacis Lawowa, he met the advanced guard of General Savary, who commanded the 5th corps.
"On the 16th, at break of day, General Gazez, with a part of his division, made an oblique movement upon the advanced guard. At nine in the morning he met the enemy, on the road to Novogrod, attacked, defeated and put him to the rout. But at the same moment the enemy attacked Ostrolenka by the left bank. General Campana, with a brigade of the division of General Gazez, and General Ruffo, with a brigade of the division of General Oudinot, defended that small town. General Savary sent thither the General of Division Reille, Chief of the Staff of the Army. The Russian Infantry, in several columns, endeavoured to carry the town. The enemy was suffered to advance half the length of the streets, when he was marched against and charged.—He was three times cut down, and left the streets covered with the dead. The loss of the enemy was so great that he abandoned the town, and took a position behind the sand hills which cover it.
"The divisions of Generals Suchet and Oudinot advanced, at noon the heads of their columns arrived at Ostrolenka. General Savary drew up his little army in the following manner:—General Oudinot commanded the left, in two lines; General Suchet the centre; and General Reille, commanding a brigade of the division of Gazez, formed the right. He covered himself with all his artillery, and marched against the enemy. The intrepid General Oudinot put himself at the head of the cavalry, made a successful charge, and cut in pieces the Cossacks of the rear guard of the enemy. The fire was very brisk; the enemy gave way in all sides, and was followed fighting during three leagues.
"The next day the enemy was pursued several leagues, but without being perceived. His cavalry had retreated the whole night. General Suwarow, and several officers of the enemy, are among the slain. The enemy has abandoned a great number of wounded, 1200 have been taken off the field, and more are bringing in every instant. Seven pieces of cannon and two standards are the trophies of this victory. The enemy has left 1300 dead on the field of battle. On our side we have had 60 men killed, and from 4 to 500 wounded. But a loss most sensibly felt is that of the General of Brigade, Campana, who was an officer of great merit and promise; he was born in the department of Marangou. The Emperor has been much grieved at his loss. The 103d regiment distinguished itself particularly in this affair. Among the wounded are Colonel Du Hamel, of the 21st regiment of light infantry; and the Colonel of Artillery, Nourrit.
"The emperor has ordered the 5th Corps to go into winter quarters.—The thaw is dreadful. The season will not permit any thing great to be achieved: it is that of repose. The enemy first broke up from his quarters; he has repented it."
WARSAW, Feb. 25.—Gen. Suwarow (Prince Italinski, and son of the famous Marshal Suwarow) is dead of his wounds near Ostrolenka. General Budberg was there. The French found 1100 dead Russian bodies, and found 2400 wounded in the villages. We lost 60 men killed and between 4 and 500 wounded. Among the killed, we sincerely regret Gen. Campana.
ENG. London, March 25.
It is said the Russians have had some smart actions with the Turks, and are marching towards Constantinople. It seems probable that Dalmatia will be the scene of important operations.
The Porte presents a busy and important aspect. A Russian army, of more than 90,000 strong, is hovering on the banks of the Neisse.—Every where is heard the dreadful note of preparation. Events of the most interesting nature are likely soon to call our attention to that quarter.
It is reported that 12,000 French conscripts, who were on their way lately from Paris to Mentz, overpowered their guard, and disbanded themselves.
According to the public papers, the Austrian Army is more numerous at present by 40,000 men, than at any period during the last war.
The public opinion in favor of peace had become strong in Berlin; but we cannot learn from what cause.
It is reported, on pretty good authority, that Monte Video and Buenos Ayres have been captured by the British forces. Sir Home Popham, has expressed his belief, in the truth of this report, both at Lloyd's and on change.
The dispatches which government received from Ireland yesterday, are stated to be of a very unfavorable nature—the counties in the North are in a state of awful discontent—and will be rendered more so by the imposition of recalling the Duke of Bedford.
NEW MINISTRY.
March 21. We regret to say, that a serious misunderstanding exists between his Majesty and the Members of his Cabinet Council, which threatens the immediate dissolution of an administration, uniting all that was eminent in talents and influence among our public men, and which promised fair to direct for a long series of years the councils of the nation. The Catholic and dissenters Bill, which opens to all his Majesty's subjects, the privilege of holding commissions in the army and navy, has given rise to this unpleasant opposition of sentiment between the king and those whom the constitution presumes to be his confidential advisers. This measure, which Ministers fully considered of much importance, his Majesty, has insisted not only upon their relinquishing, but also that they should engage not to introduce it at any future period. This latter consideration could not be acceded to by any of the present administration; his Majesty has, therefore, ordered the Duke of Portland to prepare new arrangements, a circumstance which must be sincerely deprecating by every one who is concerned for the honor and happiness of his country.
March 19.—We had supposed that the authors of the Bill for the admission of Catholics into the Army and Navy, would have submitted to new model their measure, so as to preserve an appearance of respect for a contrary high opinion, but it appears their pride has taken the alarm, and any acknowledgment of error they consider as a compromise of their importance.
His Majesty yesterday arrived in town, when a Privy Council being summoned the great question was again the subject of very serious discussion, the result of which, we understand, was, that the resignation of most of the leading Members of Administration had been signified in the Royal Presence.
March 21.—The Duke of Portland, in consequence of the Royal Message, has accepted the post of first Lord of the Treasury, and has signified to his Majesty that he shall be prepared on Wednesday next, to lay before his Majesty for his Majesty's approbation the new arrangement.
March 23.—A more distressing case, with respect to the Administration of the Executive power of this country, has not, in the present age occurred than the present difference between his Majesty and his confidential Ministers. The critical state of Europe in general, the situation of the United Kingdom in particular, stretched and strained as it is by a most cumbrous load of taxation, and the acknowledged abilities of the men, who still superintend our national affairs, render their dismissal from office a subject of painful reflection.
Accounts from Holland state, that another battle had been fought, on the 26th February, between the French and Russians, in which the latter were repulsed with great loss.
The British were fitting out a strong fleet for the Baltic, to keep the Danes in check.
BY THE MAILS.
VIRG. NORFOLK, April 8.
It appears that the Rochefort fleet is out and destined for Martinique. The British force consists of the five ships of the line mentioned under the Jamaica head. The Romilies of 74 guns, had also arrived at Barbadoes, and will if necessary, be added, which will make the two fleets equal in number, in which case the event of a battle may be calculated upon with certainty.
Capt. Burgess arrived at Plymouth says he was denied admittance at Martinique as that place was represented in a state of blockade by the English, on account of the French fleet being there.
CANANDATUGA, (N. Y.) March 31.
Horrid Murder.—A most diabolical deed was committed at Caledonia, county of Genesee, on Thursday evening last, by one James M'Lean, a Scotchman, who with a number of his countrymen, were drinking together; being somewhat intoxicated, a dispute arose about a few pence which M'Lean was told he ought to pay, which so enraged him that he seized an axe and instantly killed one of the disputants, by a blow that nearly cut his neck off—on his falling, another of them, while stooping to take him up received a similar blow from the infuriated ruffin, which also dispatched him! The names of the men killed are William Orr and Locklin M'Louthlin.
The wicked perpetrator of this shocking butchery made his escape before the inhabitants rallied to take him, but was apprehended on Sunday in Lincoln, and is at present lodged in the jail in this town.
BALTIMORE, APRIL 9.
The Sugar made in Louisiana is already equal to one fourth of our consumption. We may readily believe that the period is not far distant when the industry and perseverance of our citizens in that country will furnish a prodigious quantity for foreign markets. Pretty good progress for a few years possession of a "howling waste—a dreary wilderness."
Great progress has been made in the western country in the manufacture of linen after the manner of Ireland.—From one county there "have been brought parcels of 2000 to 10,000 yards to sell in the stores of Harrisburg, Carlisle and Chambersburg, in opposition to those of Europe.—The linen manufacture of Ireland is a domestic manufacture, and is introduced by the Irish into Pennsylvania."
In no state of the Union is domestic manufactures carried on to so great an extent, perhaps, as in Pennsylvania. Many of the most wealthy farmers do not consume ten dollars worth of European goods in the course of the year. The Sunday or holiday suits of his wife and daughters is probably made of foreign goods, but the rest is the product of their own industry.
Remarkable Occurrences.
The tide, for several days last week, has been considerably lower than ever before recollected. Saturday we counted 129 men wading for oysters on the New-York Oyster Banks, and the shore lined with carts to receive them.
Common oak wood was selling on Saturday for five dollars a load, which is at the rate of 20 dollars a cord; and almost every house is now without this article.
We learn from Newburg, that on the 3d inst. the snow was three feet deep—and that the sleighing was excellent. The roads were crowded with loads of produce coming to the different landings.
A few days since, 70 tons of streaked bass were taken in one net, and at one haul, near Stonington, most of which were brought to our market and sold very cheap. This "miraculous draught of fishes" was valued at 8000 dollars!—The net was made and is owned by a respectable company of fishermen, and is 300 fathoms in length, and 6 deep. [New-York paper.]
SALEM, APRIL 23.
On Sunday last 4 lads, walking in the North Fields, found deposited in the trunk of an old tree, 21 Gold and other Watches, and a quantity of Gold Jewelry, which proved to be the remainder of the goods stolen from the shop of Mr. Jabez Baldwin, on the night of the 24th of October, 1805; part of them having been found in the Hospital in Great Pasture in the winter following; those now found have doubtless lain in the hollow of the tree for nearly 19 months.
The concurrence of circumstances which have attended the loss and recovery of this property, is truly remarkable. The amount was between 2 and 3000 dollars, and in articles of such little bulk as to be easily conveyed away and concealed. From two mere accidents, the whole, it is believed, has been recovered, at two distant periods of time, and in two different places, without the exception of enough to reward the villains who stole them with a single dollar; and to this day it remains a mystery who the villains were, and a matter of uncertainty whether they continue in the bosom of the town, or have fled through fear of detection.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
On Monday last seven female pupils of the East School in this town, one of 19, three of 16, one of 15, one of 13, and one of 10 years of age, being out of doors when the shower came on, went into the Necessary for shelter. They had not been long there, before the floor gave way, and they were precipitated into the vault. On the first alarm Mr. Lang summoned the neighbors to their succour, but before the sufferers could all be got out, Nancy Green (the little girl of ten years of age) was suffocated and had expired. Painful apprehensions were entertained for the rest; but we are happy to learn that they are doing well.
The dreadful consequences from the crowd at the execution of three murderers in London, in February last, are told with circumstances which are the most distressing to be imagined. We are told 24 men and 3 women were trampled to death, and 12 men and 2 women had their flesh torn off by the feet of the multitude. The account says, it was as much as the strongest could do to support themselves, and hundreds were more or less bruised. When the crowd was dispersed, the ground was found to be strewed with shoes, boots, cloaks, hats and bonnets of those who were glad upon any terms to escape with their lives.

Portsmouth,
Tuesday, April 28, 1807.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
Successive arrivals from Europe, in short passages, keep us supplied with recent intelligence from that quarter of the world.
The 62d Bulletin of the French Grand Army announces a victory at Ostrolenka. It states, that the Russians lost 1300 killed, with 7 pieces of cannon and 2 standards taken. On the side of the French, Campana, general of brigade, was killed—and Prince Italinski, a Russian general, and son of the late Field Marshal Suwarow, died of his wounds soon after the battle.
ENGLAND. —By Capt. Trott, who arrived at Boston, in 25 days from Liverpool, we learn that the King has ordered a change of Ministry, in consequence of a difference he has had with his Cabinet, respecting the Catholic & Dissenters' Bill, which proposed to restore persons professing the Catholic religion to their eligibility in holding military, naval and other offices under the crown; and also to remove the tests which have so long oppressed Dissenters from the Established Church. These measures were warmly advocated by the Ministry, and opposed by the King.
The Globe of March 23d, says—"although the Duke of Portland has accepted the place of First Lord of the Treasury, and is now at the head of the new ministry, we find that Viscount Melville is the principal actor behind the curtain."
"The French squadron lying in the harbour of Rochfort is expected to put to sea the first favorable opportunity. It consists of six sail of the line besides frigates and smaller vessels, and is generally supposed to be destined for the West-Indies."
LATE FROM FRANCE.
By the Brig Fox, Capt. Thorndike, arrived at Cape Ann on Saturday evening, in 34 days from Nantz, Paris dates to the 14th of March have been received.
The only article of consequence which these papers contain, is the 63d and 64th Bulletins of the French Grand Army. These Bulletins confirm the accounts previously received, that the French had gained a signal victory at Eylan. In addition, it reports, that Gen. Dabrowsky marched against the garrison of Dantzig. It was met at Dirschau, attacked and defeated with the loss of 600 men and 7 pieces of cannon taken, and pursued several leagues with the bayonet at their backs.
A Russian division of 10,000 men strong, marched for Braunberg. Gen. Dupont attacked and overwhelmed it; took 16 pieces of cannon, 2 standards, and 2,000 men. On the side of Guldadt, Gen. Leger-Beclair has beaten the enemy, and taken the Russian Gen. Koff, with all his staff.
The result of the various actions is stated by the Paris editors to be in the highest degree favorable to the arms of France. They assert roundly, that the Russians have lost 20 generals, 900 officers of inferior rank, & 30,000 men! These editors also say, that intercepted letters from officers of rank in the Russian army represent their affairs in a very discouraging situation; it is said that the eldest and best troops have suffered the most, and that recruits to supply the deficiency, if the war continues, must be had from those who have never seen service.
The plan of the Russians was to break up the winter quarters of the French, and to push on for Berlin: in this they have been woefully disappointed, as they have been compelled to retreat nearly eighty leagues from the scene of the first action. All events concur to prove that so far from the French being defeated, they conceive themselves to have gained the most splendid advantages.
We learn from Paris, that the result of the plan of the Assembly of the Jews in that city, has been to establish a central Consistory of three Rabbins, and two other Jews, and this Consistory is to maintain a correspondence with all the other consistories. Provision is made for the choice of the Chief Rabbi. He must be born or naturalised in France. Speak French and Italian, and, if besides Hebrew, he understand Greek and Latin, such qualifications will be preferred. Among his other duties he is to enforce the military services as a sacred duty. The salaries are fixed for the Rabbins in all the consistories, and every Rabbi who tarries in France or Italy must sign a declaration of his submission to the Sanhedrin. It has been proposed to have a synagogue in every department in which were 31 thousand Jews, but never more than one consistorial synagogue in a department. Private synagogues to be established by competent authority, with a Rabbins and two other Officers, but these regulations have not received the sanction of the Sanhedrin.
Louis Bonaparte has given 2000 guilders to be distributed amongst the distressed Jews in Holland.
COMMERCIAL. —"Orders from England have been received at Demerara, prohibiting without reserve, the landing of any goods in American bottoms, excepting fish, flour and lumber; and also prohibiting absolutely the exportation of sugar and coffee—Repeated remonstrances were made against this order by the planters and merchants, and every effort made to obtain permits to ship sugar and coffee, but refused on the grounds that the governor had not a right without permission from home. Markets were glutted with American produce."
Trinidad, Feb. 26—"Markets good." Trinity, Mart. Feb. 20—"This place is full of vessels, and all things are plenty, lumber 35 dollars.—beef 12—fish 8—nails 15 per cwt.—corn 6 per bbl.—wine 1,25 per gallon—coffee 39 fous, cash."
From documents presented to Congress by the Treasury Department, it appears, that the actual tonnage of the United States on the 31st December, 1805, might be estimated at about 1,024,990. The enrolled vessels, employed in the coasting trade at the close of the year 1805, was 301,386 68-95ths tonnage; the licensed vessels under 20 tons, employed in do. was 31,296 73-95ths;—the enrolled vessels licensed for the whale fishery, amounted to 898 18-95ths; do. for the cod fishery, 43,479 30-95ths;—the licensed vessels under 20 tons for do. 8,986 37-95ths; the registered vessels, which were employed in foreign trade, and the amount of registered tonnage of the United States, at the close of the year 1805, was 497, 341 22-55ths. During the year 1805, 128,507 3-95ths tons new vessels were built.
STATE ELECTIONS.
The General Election in the State of Rhode Island took place on Wednesday the 15th inst.—From the appearance of the returns there can be no doubt that Mr. FENNER is elected Governor.
The New-London federal paper thus remarks relative to the Connecticut Election, which took place on Monday the 13th inst. "We shall not be surprised to find not only a decrease of the federal majority on the general ticket, but a considerable accession to the anti-federal interest in the House of Representatives."
Returns have been received from nearly all the towns in the State of Massachusetts. SULLIVAN's majority is now 2,151, and will probably be increased to between 2500 and 3000.
So far as we can learn the Senate will stand as last year—21 Repub. to 19 Fed.
If the Republicans do their duty at the approaching Representative Election, our majority in the House must amount to at least one hundred.
This State, which our illustrious President has honored by entitling it the "cradle of the revolution," has suffered a temporary estrangement from its principles, and her deviation was lamented by all the lovers of independence. Delusion could exist but for a season. Republicans, determined to effect her reformation, have persevered in pursuing the object of their wishes—for fifteen years have they vigorously struggled. Confronted by wealth and influence; menaced with the terror of persecution, and retarded by trick and artifice, their progress has not kept pace with the zeal that prompted their efforts: "though thou hide them in the top of the sea, thence shall the serpent take them; and though they be hid from the sight of the sea, thence shall the hand of the hunter take and kill them." The federalists did their share before the election, and we see in what it has ended: but we have a right to rejoice, and we certainly shall improve the privilege.
[Nat. Aegis.]
The New York federalists, who arrogate to much honor and independence seem to take no pains that their actions sanction their claim; for instead of independently adhering to their own principles and independently exerting themselves in their own cause; in an underhand policy they wait for some division, and some difference in the democratic party, and slipping into the breach, use all their endeavours to widen it, till at last they join heart and hand with the side whose object seems most similar to their own, and who meanly descending from republican dignity to solicit their assistance. Should any one doubt which division of republicans to prefer, let him notice the conduct of federalists, let him observe with which they associate, and which they applaud, and let him set down those who meet with their approbation and cherish it, as apostates, defectors from the "standard of faith." Genuine Democracy abhors federalism and receives a return of hatred. It is impossible for those two opposites to mix, and when a man, uniting with federalists, pretends to democracy, we may at once conclude that the "truth is not in him."
It is reported, and we are sorry to say, that the fact appears indisputable, that Col. Aaron Burr and the Chief Justice of the United States, dined together at Mr. Wickham's, since his examination, and since his honor had himself solemnly decided that there were probable grounds to believe him guilty of a high misdemeanor against the U. States. We acknowledge that the rights of hospitality ought not to be refused to this unfortunate gentleman, by those who believe him innocent; but confess our astonishment that men, whose intellects are so penetrating as those of Mr. Wickham and Mr. Marshall, did not perceive the extreme indecency and impropriety of such respect being paid him by the Judge, who is to sit hereafter on his trial, and who, by his own opinion officially pronounced, had affixed a stigma on his character, which only can be wiped off by his future acquittal.
[Virginia Argus.]
HARVARD COLLEGE. We are sorry to learn, that no prospect exists of a reconciliation of the students to their government, and their duty.—Those of our readers whose remoteness may leave them ignorant of an event which has tarnished the lustre of the most ancient seminary of learning in our country, we would inform, that a misunderstanding has lately arisen between the under graduates and the college government, relative to the commons which the former found fault with as being composed of bad provisions.—Immediate satisfaction not having been given in this article, a petition had been presented to obtain it, the students one day left the hall in a body, and their dinner untouched. For this violation of decorum, the government, besides other measures of severity, required a general apology. Some relented and made it; but a large majority refused, and in consequence dissolved connexion with the university. The seceding students have published an Appeal, which is temperate and respectful.

REMONSTRANCE TO WINTER
BY J. MONTGOMERY. AH! why unfeeling Winter! why Still flags thy torpid wing? Fly, melancholy season, fly And yield the year to Spring.
Agriculture.
Farmers often do not consider how much they lose by a few days neglect of their fences in the spring. They had better pay double or even treble price for reasonable fencing, than to let their fences lie down, and the cattle graze their lands.
PEAR TREES.
The frequent decay and death of Pear trees, even of those which have not attained half the usual size, is well known. Mr. Cooper, a very intelligent farmer of New-Jersey, has recommended to hang iron, such as nail rods, horse shoes, or old iron hoops, on most of the largest limbs.
RUM!
Squeamish people of these times say laborers cannot live without rum. But how did they live in old times, when they did as much work, and had scarce a drop of rum?
