American Glory and Felicity.
No. V.
THERE have ever been, in the best of governments, men disaffected, and in perpetual opposition to its wise and salutary principles. Our pretended federalists, holding the people in contempt, and abhorring a republican elective representative government, exert all their wit and eloquence, cunning and stratagem, to give a different turn to the public mind, in favour of their own oppressive & degrading systems. The government of the United States, is, with strict propriety, termed a representative democracy, in which the sovereignty is solely the people's, who, by their elective franchise, derived to them from nature, chuse and appoint the various grades of officers to administer it, who are responsible to them and continued or removed at their pleasure. For the purpose of undermining this humane and wisely formed political structure, the federalists represent it as a fabric founded on a perishable basis, as a government having in itself the seeds of its own destruction. The people—the vulgar herd (as they impudently and profanely express themselves,) should be kept in ignorance; knowledge will only make them more lawless and ungovernable; and it by no means becomes them to be their own judges, or chuse their masters, any more than children to chuse theirs. Parents, it is true, have the right to chuse tutors & governors for their children, who are incapable of judging for themselves. But who are to be judges for the people, as to their government and political interests, if not themselves? who should know their own interests better than themselves, if they attend to them as they ought. They have reason and understanding given them for that purpose, which, duly exercised, will never fail to guide them aright, under the smiles of him from whom they have received their mental powers. Or has the Deity appointed a superior order of men, such as Kings and Lords spiritual and temporal, to rule the rabble, to govern the unruly brutal mob, as the people have been called? If we take a view of mankind, and particularly of the people of the American States, we discern no such divine appointment, no such divine right of Priests or Kings; and, if we attend to the scriptures, for which the federalists pretend to have the greatest veneration, they inform us that kings were given as a curse, instead of a blessing, to a nation which was under a theocracy, and which refused to have their God and Benefactor for their Kings. In the scriptures, likewise, the people are called upon to make wisdom their guide, to improve the reason bestowed upon them, that righteousness might exalt them, and not kings and tyrants humble and oppress them. When the people of the nations shall obey this call, their tyrants will fall before them. To establish their sentiments against a democratic government, the federalists appeal to the events of ancient and modern times, and plume themselves highly on the unsuccessful experiments of democracy in Greece and Rome. But the fallacy of their argument is readily discerned by those who are well informed in the history of those nations. Neither Greece nor Rome had any notion of a representative government. Their democratic assemblies were disorderly and ungovernable, and had no regular and salutary influence on the citizens. Neither had they any rational system of government. They knew not what a Constitution of government is; their officers were under no control or responsibility. As wide is the difference between a government like theirs, and that of the United States, as is between regularity and order, and confusion and anarchy. Yet the federalists still impose upon the public their ill-founded arguments against our republican system, and insist upon it, that a representative government, or a government of the people, upon an extended scale, is impracticable, and the greatest of all absurdities. The successful experiments we have made of its practicability, & its salutary efficacies, has no influence upon their pre-engaged imaginations, no persuasive allurements to captivate their sublimer reason. Their ideas are too lofty to yield to the intelligence and experience of the citizens of America. For a vast body of people to be possessed of political knowledge, experience and discernment, sufficient for the management of their own affairs, and for the maintenance of civil harmony is an event so discordant with their pre-conceived and their fondest sentiments, that it has become to them altogether intolerable. To be thus divested by such a people, of their claims to superior understanding and political merit, is mortifying beyond all suffering. Thus it would appear, if we are to judge from the sample we have of their feelings, and their manners, in the weekly publications issuing from the federal presses; in which disappointed ambition, envy and malicious rage are conspicuous in all the deformities of gloomy colouring. Go on, ye hiring scribblers—persevere to the end—the end not far distant—give the finishing touches to the federal, grotesque picture ye are unwittingly portraying, until ye have convinced all mankind of the detestable nature of federal politics, and their "stupendous fabric" of iniquity falls, like a millstone into the sea, to rise no more for ever. Ye can never succeed in persuading the enlightened citizens of the American States, that they are incapable of self government that they stand in need of hereditary rulers, a "strong energetic government," fortified with a domineering clergy and nobility, an insulting standing army and judiciary, multiplied taxes, and a devouring host of officers; that a public debt is a public blessing, economy in government, folly and madness, war preferable to peace, extravagancy and pageantries real grandeur, and the true marks and emblems of national felicity and glory. The more ye exert your powers in defence of a cause obnoxious to Americans, and detested by the good of all nations, the sooner will ye hasten its destined annihilation, & complete the disgrace of its unprincipled promoters.

vers and adherents. The federalists have given us to see clearly the strongest reasons for denouncing a representative government as impracticable & ruinous. They are—because it reprobrates every intrusion upon the rights of man, admits not extravagant expenditures of the public money, to aggrandize the few at the expence and to the degradation of the many, and guards the citizens as to their persons, property and privileges; diffusing its benign influences through every part of a vastly extended empire, maintaining every citizen in the respectable & dignified station which belongs to his nature; mortifies, and defeats the purposes of that inhuman spirit, which delights in kindling and keeping alive the flames of war, that it may triumph in the miseries and calamities it engenders—foul spirit! Thou art crushed, thy power is no more! Fly to those regions, whose inhabitants are more compliant with thy diabolical disposition, never more to erect thy hideous, brazen front on American shores, or molest this land of liberty and peace!
HONORIUS.
Judge Chase's Memorial and Letter has received proper notice in the National Intelligencer, in which it is sufficiently shown that his charges against the proceedings are groundless and the impeachment necessary. The writer refers to the printed debates, to explain the manner of enquiry into Judge Chase's extraordinary conduct. He proves that there is no truth in any insinuation that the evidence was from personal or political enemies: of the fourteen deponents, seven are federal and seven republicans. The writer proves that the publishing of the proceedings was most reasonable, and not till the report of the committee was presented, and the whole testimony laid before all the members. He also shows that a general vote of impeachment is first passed, before any conclusive act of the House, and that the proceedings were just. He then adds, as the Judge has allowed the immediate trial impossible, and therefore has rendered all his pretended charge of injury absurd, no notice can be due to any complaint upon the subject.
The fire of Democracy. —We have high Federal authority for the increase of Republicans in Massachusetts. A gentleman of considerable consequence with his party in this county, lately remarked in company, that "Democracy would run through New-England like fire." The simile was very correct. It is the Fire of Freedom, and was caught from the Altar of '75. We should suppose, however, from the chagrin expressed by this gentleman and his friends at its progress, that it was more scorching to their feelings than was Nebuchadnezzar's furnace to the Executioners of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Ægis.
From the Bahama Gazette.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—WE are indebted, through the channel of your paper, to return our grateful thanks to Gov. CLAIBORNE of New-Orleans, and several other respectable characters of that city, for their benevolent and zealous attention to our situation when confined in prison there.—About the 12th day of May 1802, we left Nassau for Muskegee, in the choicest Favorite, regularly cleared out at the Custom House, and with Governor Haller's verbal permission, for the purpose of recovering from General Bowles the value of a Schooner which had been piratically taken and carried into Appalachicola river. On the 1st of June, being in St. Georges Sound, at the mouth of that river two Spanish Galleys took possession of us, under the pretence of enquiring into the nature of our voyage, carried us with our vessel to New-Orleans, and imprisoned every person. We remained confined without a trial until the 26th of September, when Freeman Johnson was fortunate enough to elude the vigilance of his guard.—The rest remained until the 26th of January last, when the city being delivered up to the American Government, his Excellency Governor Claiborne, General Wilkinson, Daniel Clark, and James Prévost, Esqrs and several other Gentlemen, humanely & promptly interfered and procured our release from the most cruel and illegal confinement. Mr. Prévost had been our steady friend & assisted us from the early part of our imprisonment; but neither his friendship, our rights as Englishmen, nor our tedious sufferings availed with the Spanish officers.—Resulted and unnoticed by Governor John Hallett, to whom application had been made repeatedly in vain we should in all probability have still remained in confinement, but for the humane interference of the gentlemen above mentioned. And we request the Princes of the United States will insert this as a public testimony of our gratitude.
FREEMAN JOHNSON, JOHN HENDERSON, For the crew of the Ich' Favorite.
The Marquis De Casa Yrujo, his Catholic Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary, has arrived in Philadelphia from the seat of government. We understand it is the Marquis's intention to leave this country next spring for Spain, to pay a visit to his friends and carry into effect a valuable and important grant made to him by his Sovereign; so that the political differences existing between him and our government, they have not the least influence or connexion with his intended departure.

Rhode Island Election.
The Republican Ticket has been carried—without opposition.
Massachusetts Election.
The Boston Centinel of the 2d instant reports the votes of 403 towns, which are for
Strong 27,410 Sullivan 23,053
We have not seen the Chronicle of so late a date.
Out of the metropolis the farmers and middling interest are fast opening their eyes and yielding to the force of truth and of facts. In relation to the extraordinary vote given in the town of Boston (which furnishes Mr. Strong about one third part of his majority) the Chronicle of the 23d ult. has the following pertinent remarks.—"The Efex Junto have rallied their whole force in Boston. When a man becomes unpopular in any other place, he is at once summoned to the metropolis. It was just so previous to the American war. All the Tories flocked to "the head quarters of good principles;" and here the Junto planned their measures to counteract the Whigs. They then took sanctuary under the Board of Commissioners, the British and Hessian troops, and the English party, which opposed every transaction in our town-meetings. They now enjoy protection from Corporate Institutions and Bank Establishments, which bestow their patronage on these apostates."
The Ægis contains the following remarks.—"The event of the election in this State has proved that the reign of delusion is approximating to its end—that "although Falstaff and Parry may write their names on the plaster, yet this shall one day moulder, and Truth remain forever inscribed upon the marble!" Even in this State, the "sun of Federalism has begun to decline—NOT ONE YEAR, AND IT SETS FOREVER!"
Connecticut Election.
The editor of the American Mercury observes, "Even in this State, where, it has very justly been said the people were more led astray by federal misrepresentations than in any other State—where ministers of the gospel have uniformly, and ardently engaged in opposing the general government; who have defamed our rulers to make them appear odious and hateful in the eyes of the people, that they might withdraw from them their confidence—even here the veil of federalism has been rent—the republicans have succeeded, at least equal to their expectation. It is now ascertained that there will be about Twenty more republicans in our next Assembly than there has ever yet been."
Since the editor at Keene has suffered political machinations so far to efface the impressions of nature as to neglect to do justice to his own brother under an outrageous calumny, we think it our duty to publish an extract from the Political Calendar , a respectable paper, lately established at Newburyport, whose editor is a man of candor and intelligence, and appears to be well acquainted with the worthy postmaster at Portland.
"From a long and intimate acquaintance with Mr. Prentiss we are happy in being able to state to the public, that we know him to be a gentleman of strict fidelity, and of the most persevering industry in business; and that he was ever so considered in Portland, until it was found that he was a republican. This is the ground of the complaint. We doubt not, that he will do himself honor in the station, to which he has been appointed, all that his enemies can say to the contrary notwithstanding."
With unparalleled effrontery an editor at Boston persists in his tale of "President Jefferson's impiety" in respect to the Mammoth loaf at Washington,—and is very angry that people will not credit his naked assertions, declining till to produce his EVIDENCE.—A southern editor, who was present at Washington, in noticing the villainous paragraph of the Boston paper, offers the following pertinent remark.
"A paper called the Boston Repository , appears to rival in atrocity and invention of falsehoods the worst conceptions of the arch hypocrite who made the ship Ocean Majesty a subject of declamation from the Christian pulpit—Among an abundance of similar fraud and falsehood we present the following as a specimen of that shame to morality and that contempt of veracity, which by being fostered and sanctioned in New-England, has rendered the publications in that quarter of the union almost proverbially discreditable at home, and disgraceful to the American character in foreign countries."
[Here is quoted the passage from the Repository , which appeared in our paper of the 21st ult.]
We will not insult the understanding of our readers by a comment upon an article carrying in itself the evidence of its own iniquity—its own fraud—and its own ceteable falsehood and educated hypocrisy.

LONDON, MARCH 27. MILITIA OF IRELAND.
Last night the Chancellor of the Exchequer delivered to the House of Commons a Message from his Majesty, which stated the voluntary offer of several regiments of Militia in Ireland to serve in any part of Great-Britain; and, at the same time, recommended to the House to make provision for such of those Corps whose offers might be accepted.
8000 of the Irish Militia are to be brought to England.

Toulon. —We continue to be assured, that the expedition against this country is ready to proceed from the French and Dutch ports; and we really expect it will not be long before we shall have the hostile visit.
Greece. —Intelligence is received of the capture of Fort Nassau by a French Squadron. The garrison of Fort Nassau consisted of only 60 British invalids, and they killed double their number, before they surrendered.— Greece , though small, commands two important rivers, ( Genoa and Bonaparte ), and the British trade will be somewhat injured by its being in the hands of the French.
Lubeck. —It is reported that the French have taken possession of Lubeck.
From the MEDITERRANEAN.
The letters from Milan up to the 27th of February say, that the Toulon fleet has not yet arrived, and will not till better weather. They also state in declaring that the English have appeared with a fleet off Sardinia, and have landed troops there, but with what intention is not known. The whole west coast of Italy, it is said will be occupied by French troops, including even Naples itself. This then, it is added, would probably have been already executed, had not Russia undertaken to guarantee the neutrality of Naples.
Russia. —A change favorable to the British interest has taken place in the Russian Administration.
The following outline of the new Coalition between Mr. Fox and Mr. Pitt, was yesterday mentioned in the political circles. The Feuillant to be repealed—the Catholics of England and Ireland to be completely emancipated—and an application to be made to the Emperor of Russia for the purpose of procuring a Peace through his mediation.
BY THE LAST MAILS.
WASHINGTON, APRIL 30.
To facilitate to claimants under the 7th article of the treaty with G. Britain the receipt of their monies in instances in which they have not constituted the public agent in London, their special attorney, it has been thought proper to draw to the United States all such monies of the above description as may not be drawn from him by the individuals themselves prior to the 1st of September next. The agent is accordingly instructed to cease paying them after that date, but after the 1st of November next, they will be again payable at the City of Washington, to those who have right, or to their attorneys duly authorized.

NEW-YORK, APRIL 24.
The American ship Hannibal , from Bordeaux, loaded with wine, bound to Madras and Calcutta, went thro' the Mozambique channel some time in June. Being in want of water, the boat with the captain on board, went ashore on one of the Comoro Islands. The ship in the mean time drifted out of sight of the Island, and put to sea, leaving the Capt. and 3 hands. The Hannibal afterwards arrived at Ceylon, and was there sold by the supercargo for £1000, including the cargo! The Capt. of the Hannibal was taken off the Island by a British vessel, and carried to Bombay, thence to Calcutta, and was to take passage home in a few days after the sailing of the Grace .
NEW-YORK, May 5.
FRANCE and SPAIN.
The friendly arrangements subsisting between France and Spain, occasion much murmuring on the part of the British; as will appear by the following article from Gibraltar under the date of January 22.
Accounts have just been received, that one of the convoy had been captured and taken into Tariffa, by one of the numerous French privateers, which constantly lurk under the island, and which sail out from there with Spanish colors flying, and board every vessel that passes without convoy. The boat that brings the account says, that the instant the English vessel was brought in, two Spanish lighters were sent along side of her, and that they were then unloading her as fast as they could. On this intelligence being communicated to the navy, it was determined to resent so violent a breach of neutrality, and to bring out the prize from under the Spanish guns, let the consequences be what they may. The Diana , Maidstone and Weymouth brig accordingly failed for Tariffa, with three gun-boats for this purpose, and we anxiously wait the event. If the Spaniards afford them protection, immediate hostilities will ensue, as our tars will not be intimidated by the few paltry fortifications the Spaniards have to protect that place, and they will pay very little attention to that neutrality the Spaniards have on every occasion so shamefully violated. At the present moment, a French row galley actual-
ly commands more respect and submission in every Spanish and neutral port, than a British line of battle ships. A captain of a French privateer has every thing granted he requires, in all the Spanish ports. He is allowed to equip, to man, to victual, and to bring in and unload his prizes without trial or condemnation, whilst the remonstrances of our admirals and ambassadors are treated with perfect contempt. Lord Nelson some time ago sent a man of war to one of the principal Spanish ports to obtain a supply of bullocks for his squadron, when the English captain was informed in answer, that he could not be allowed to have more than four bullocks, lest it should give offence to the French government.
The attempts to cut out the vessels belonging to the convoy, which was carried into Tariffa, failed, owing to the current having carried the Diana and the gun-boats behind the rocks, and before they could reach Tariffa, the second day afterwards, the brig was completely unloaded and hauled on shore, so that any attempt to get her off would have been impracticable.
The Argo frigate, from Portsmouth, with Elpi Bey and his suit on board, passed Gibraltar, January 26, for Egypt.
LEXINGTON, APRIL 3.
On the 19th ult. Capt. Wyatt, coachmaker, of this town, had a quantity of fresh painted canvas exposed to the sun, until evening, when it was rolled up and placed in the loft of his shop. About two o'clock next morning, the canvas was discovered to be on fire by two boys who were sleeping near it. By the great exertions of Capt. Wyatt, and a few of his nearest neighbors the fire was extinguished without any very material injury to the house. It is thought the fire must have been produced by the heat of the sun, which was absorbed by the canvas during the day.
ALBANY, MAY 4.
Our accounts of the election in the Western district are highly interesting. From Onondaga , the strongest bulwark of federalism in that district, we have the returns of 19 towns—they give Burr a majority of 400. Of the remaining towns (tens) as they did last spring, our candidate will have a majority of about 200! Such has been the progress of republicanism in a county, which, at the election for governor in 1801, gave a majority of 1500 for the federal candidate. It is now very doubtful whether Mr. Burr will have a majority in more than one county in the Western district. The total majority for the republican candidate, will certainly exceed 7,000; and may be upwards of 8,000.
NEWPORT, MAY 3.
Yesterday the General Election of this State was held in this town; when the following Gentlemen were declared duly elected to the Offices assigned to their names respectively. Arthur Fenner, Esq. Governor; Paul Momford, Esq. Lieutenant Governor. The political complexion of the Legislature of Rhode-Island, may be determined in a few words, viz the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and ten Senators, (the whole number elected) all Republican.

On Thursday afternoon, the 5th instant, the apprehensions of the inhabitants were sensibly awakened by the alarming appearance of a heavy and menacing cloud, that seemed to have received its origin (suddenly) south-westerly, directing its course northeastwardly, displaying itself irresistibly, and portending destructive consequences. The misters (caused on individuals, by this hurricane, are but partially received; and we fearfully apprehend, that a general account will produce a catalogue not before witnessed in the northern hemisphere. We have been enabled to trace it as far back as Hancock county, through which it passed with great violence, taking Warren county in its course, assuming, in its progress, a more horrible aspect. In Warren, the wife and child of Major Chandler, fell victims to its violence, from thence to where it crossed the Savannah river, above Augusta, nothing very particular has been received. The full, and most signal evidence of the resistless influence of this storm, that happened on the Carolina shore, was a piece of hewed timber, 45 feet in length, 14 by 12, taken from its basis and carried up, or around a hill a perpendicular of about 20 feet—the consequences were soon sensibly experienced by Col. Hammond, who had three of his negroes crippled and his plantation greatly injured; but they were but too fatally experienced, in passing on or about three miles, at the house of a Mrs. Butler—it was here that several travellers, discovering the impending danger, convened for the purpose of taking shelter from the storm; but no sooner had they entered the house, than it received the violence of a shock that totally carried away every log belonging to the house; three persons were killed several severely crippled, and none escaping without injury. Several horses killed and wounded, standing before the house, belonging to the travellers. A wagon loaded with corn was entirely broken to pieces, and a great part of it blown away.
Mr. Alston's plantation, contiguous to this house sustained very considerable damage in the loss of houses, fences and other improvements; fortunately, no lives were lost, and but one negro injured. Col. Carter, also received considerable damage—We can trace this storm down as far as Mr. Richardson's, having wasted every thing before it; but here again the result proved fatal to the family of Mr. R. a woman with three children were killed, Mr. R. being the only survivor to witness the misfortunes that were but too suddenly felt. The hail stones that fell in several places, are said to have mea-
sured from 9 to 10 1/2 in circumference;—which independent of the injury experienced by the wind must have operated a considerable damage to the owners of cattle and other stock.
From the appearances exhibited by this storm, and from its assuming additional violence and force, so far as accounts have been received, we are fearful that it has continued for a great distance.

New-England Cotton. —We were presented last week by Capt. Eber Eager, of Boylston, with a sample of Cotton, raised in his garden last year—the produce from one seed, it was calculated, was sufficient to spin four skeins of yarn. The Cotton is remarkably fine and clear.— Spy.
AMHERST, MAY 8.
AT the late term of the Supreme Court, at Hopkinton, for the County of Hillsborough, John Stewart was indicted for passing a forged Bill of the Essex Bank, of eight dollars; for counterfeiting a New-Hampshire Bill, of ten dollars, payable at Philadelphia; for having a large number of said New-Hampshire Bills in his possession, with an intention to pass them, and for a conspiracy with others to counterfeit the Bills of various Banks.—Timothy Call, David Call, and William Gilman were indicted severally for aiding and assisting in the forgery of Essex Bills, of eight dollars, and together with John Stewart for a conspiracy to counterfeit the Bills of various Banks.—John Silver was indicted for the forgery of a New-Hampshire Bill of ten dollars, payable at Philadelphia, and for having in his possession counterfeit bills of said New-Hampshire Bank, with an intention to pass them.—they were arraigned, and plead not guilty, to all the indictments. The trial of John Stewart first came on. The Jury having left the stand, in a few minutes returned a verdict of guilty. During this trial, the other prisoners were at the bar, and the Law was so clearly and forcibly laid down by the Chief Justice, that they prayed liberty to withdraw their pleas, and to trust in the mercy of the Court, which was granted and they are now under the following sentences:—Two and one half years imprisonment on all of them, excepting Silver, whose imprisonment is only two years, in addition to pecuniary fines.—Wm. Gilman and Timothy Call, having been before convicted of a similar crime, were further sentenced to stand in the pillory one hour each.
Heath. convicted of Horse stealing, received the New-Hampshire mark. He is also liable to be sold in service, by the prosecutor, for three told damages.
John Wilson , alias Benson , plead guilty to two indictments for theft. One for breaking the store of Nathan Kendall , Esq. of this town, and the other for breaking the store of Hose & Stark , of Deerfield. He was sentenced to receive 50 lashes, and be told for costs and damages.

SUMMARY—FOREIGN.
LONDON papers to the 4th ult. have been received at Boston, by the Mary, Capt. Watts. Georges has been apprehended—He made a desperate resistance and was not secured until he had killed Buffet, one of the police officers, & dangerously wounded Calliole, the other officer. Neither Moreau nor Pichegru had been tried—The Invasion had not been attempted—A letter from an officer off Flushing, states, that the French had embarked their Cavalry and Stores and only waited for a fog or a calm to elude the vigilance of the British cruisers—The Toulon fleet had not put to sea when the last intelligence came away—It was reported in Paris that a Dutch Squadron, under Admiral Hartink has attacked Ceylon. The French army of reserve, stationed at St. Omer, Arras, Amiens, &c. are said to have received orders, to advance to the Coast—Warlike preparations are making in Germany, Russia, Turkey, Sweden, Denmark and Naples, and powerful armies are already in motion and ready to act as occasion may require.—The object of these preparations is to form an armed mediation, which shall settle the affairs of Europe, protect the independence of weak states, and set a boundary to the pretensions of the powerful; and that country, either England or France, which does not voluntarily subscribe to the arrangement proposed, will be regarded as a common enemy, towards whom the forces of the armed mediators will be turned; the alliance offensive and defensive between these powers is to take effect immediately and to continue until the restoration of peace.—Advices from Bavaria has acceded to the Imperial Conservatory and, in consequence thereof, has ordered his troops, which kept possession of the land of the Equestrian order, in the circle of Franconia, to retreat; and likewise has agreed to the restoration of the status quo , in every thing relative to the Equestrian order.
DOMESTIC.
THE following is an extract of a letter from Savannah dated 27th April. "This City, for several days past, has been in as great consternation and uproar, as it is possible for you to conceive—the circumstance that gave rise to it, has been the misconduct of Jabez Bowen, one of the Judges of the superior court of this state. In his charge to the Grand Jury, he recommended the emancipation of the blacks, and went so far as to say, that if the Legislature did not do it, he would head them himself, and assist in cutting the throats of the white inhabitants. The Grand Jury protested against such alarming conduct, on which the judge, committed them to jail. This circumstance roused the indignation of the citizens—a meeting was immediately called, and such measures adopted as to relieve the Grand Jury. The uniform companies were ordered out, and in the evening Judge Bowen was seized and put into prison. Had it not been for the militia, he would have been torn to pieces, for every one without an exception, was exasperated at him." When the Jury were proceeding to jail, says accounts from Savannah of the 28th ult. "there arose a partial cry of 'no, no,' they shall not go"—which was immediately silenced by the determined deportment of the Grand Jury. At this cry the Judge pulled from his pockets a brace of pistols, impassionately exclaiming "where is the damn'd rascal who dares say no? shew him to me, and I'll blow his brains out!" The morning following this transaction, the Grand Jury through their council, petitioned the Justices of the inferior court for a writ of Habeas Corpus, which was granted, and they were accordingly released from confinement."
It further appears that since the above commitment, Judge Bowen has been confined and in close custody in the common Jail of this county, which has thereby suspended his judicial functions, created by a virtual absence and legal disability of the Judge of the Superior Court, as appears by the Jailor's certificate in the following words:—
Georgia—Chatham County.
To the keeper of the common goal in said county.
Receive the body of the Honorable Jabez Bowen, junior, brought before me, on a warrant, charging him with an attempt to excite a domestic insurrection in this state, and him safely keep, until thence liberated by a due course of law.
Given under my hand and seal, 25th April, 1804. (Signed)
JOHN POOLER, J. P. (L. S.)
I do certify, that the above is a copy of a mittimus in my possession, under which I have the body of the person therein named, now in the common goal of Chatham county. J. P. OATES, Goaler, c. c. Savannah, 26th April, 1804.
At 3 o'clock in the morning of the 8th inst. the state prison in the neighbourhood of New-York, was discovered in flames, and notwithstanding the exertions of the inhabitants, the fire continued its ravages for two or three hours. The damage was considerable, and estimated at 20 or 25,000 dollars. The building was set on fire by a number of the prisoners. At 1 o'clock the same morning, the shock of an earthquake was sensibly felt in that City. The report, which evidently shook the houses in its passage, appeared to proceed from East to West. We are informed that Morgan Lewis, Esq. will be elected Governor of the state of New-York, by a majority of no less than eight thousand votes. On the 3d inst. the Turpentine manufactory, in the rear of the collect, New-York, took fire and was entirely consumed. This is the fourth building on the same spot that has been destroyed by fire within a short time. A duel took place the latter end of last month between a Mr. Grymes and a Mr. Harvey, at Richmond; at the first fire both were wounded; one of them had his ear shot through, the other his trigger finger. A nest of snakes, of almost all kinds and colors, from 3 to 18 inches in length, was accidentally discovered some days ago in Keene—Upwards of 300 of these torpid reptiles were crowded together in a space of less than two feet square.
Jonathan Weston is appointed Deputy Collector for the District and Port of Portsmouth, and for the convenience of those who have business to transact at the Custom-House; by consent of the Secretary of the Treasury Department; an office is established on Moose Island in said District.
Messrs. EDITORS, I wish through the medium of your useful paper, to request some person well versed in Astronomy, to give the public some information as to the cause of the Phenomenon seen last Saturday, viz. that the planet Venus was visible to the naked eye all the afternoon of said day. Yours, M.
QUERY.
Would it not be more beneficial to those who are building fire proof Stores to have their roofs fluted, than have a composition or tinned roof? Those who think it will, may call on the Printers and know the terms on which they can be supplied with Slate.
Melancholy Providence.
On Monday at about 7 in the afternoon, master MARK MOORE, who was 18 in March, son of Capt. John Moore of this town, fell from the main yard of a ship, lying at Mr. Thomas Sneed's wharf, 30 feet, in such a manner that the back of his neck came directly upon the captain of the wharf—By this distressing providence his neck was broken, and death ensued in 4 hours. This premature exit has thrown deep distress upon his family and connections, and a gloom upon a respectable circle of friends and acquaintances to whom this youth was endeared by his amiable disposition, engaging manners, and promising talents—a very solemn, affecting and important lesson on the precarious tenure of the present life.
Yesterday afternoon as Master Robert E. G. Mitchell, Master James Harris, Miss Betsey Mitchell, and Miss Nancy Moses, daughter of Mr. S. Moses, were crossing the river from this town to Kittery in a sail boat, a sudden squall of wind upset the boat, and they were all turned out into the river—two other sail boats being within half a mile distance saw the fatal accident, & hastened to their relief; the whole were taken up, three of them in a senseless situation, but were soon recovered by the assistance of medical aid, and the blessing of kind Providence. But alas! Miss Nancy Moses, was entirely lifeless, and though every assistance was rendered to bring her to, yet without effect! Her appointed hour was come!—And she bade the world a long adieu! Leaving her aged parents and a number of brethren and a sister, to lament her sudden and unexpected exit. She was in the 19th year of her age, an amiable, pious young woman:—No one can doubt but she has made a happy exchange.
