FROM THE BOSTON PATRIOT. MR. ADAMS. CORRESPONDENCE CONTINUED.
To the Printers of the Boston Patriot. Sirs: In page 25, Mr. Hamilton says that the million could hardly fail to injure our interests with other countries.
This is another of those phantoms which he had conjured up to his minds and nerves as weak as his own. It was a common place theme of old times...
Which were those other countries? They could not be Spain, Holland or any countries in the north or south of Europe which were in alliance with France or under her obedience.
Mr. Hamilton had entirely forgotten the constitution of the United States. All nominations must be made to the Senate, and if the President requires and the Senate concurs in secrecy, secrecy will not be kept.
In this page 37, another instance is given of my jealousy, and suspicious disposition. The most open, unselfish man alive, is accused of excessive suspicion.
I know of no motive of Mr. Ellsworth's journey. However I have already acknowledged that Mr. Ellsworth's conduct was perfectly proper.
Political Miscellany
He had only betrayed his want of information, and his ardent zeal to induce me to break my word and violate the faith of the government.

Interesting to Farmers
It is now sufficiently certain that the horse bot, or grubs, by which so many horses are annually destroyed, are produced from eggs or nit, which are deposited chiefly on the inside of the knee and hock part of the hind leg of the horse...
It is therefore recommended, to be careful to remove these eggs by scraping them off with a knife, or washing them off with an infusion of tobacco, every third day throughout the season in which they are deposited.
TIMBER.
It has long been known in some parts of Europe, that taking off the bark as far up the tree as it can conveniently be done, and let it stand until the following autumn, or winter, before they are cut down, is a means of making the timber much stronger and more durable than it otherwise would be.
A Petersburg article, copied into the "Journal du Soir," narrates an event which strikes the foul with horror and bids humanity weep. Three persons who had been exiled into Siberia, for supposed or actual crimes, went out one day a hunting and lost their way, inasmuch that they could not discover any traces of a human dwelling.
Late Foreign News
FROM A MARITIME BULLETIN, No. VII. Vienna, May 13, 1809.
The 10th at 9 in the morning, the Emperor appeared at the gates of Vienna, with the corps of Marshal Duke of Montebello; it was the same day that the Austrian army passed the Danube, and the Emperor Francis II. made himself guilty of perjury, the signal of his ruin.
The battle of Ebersburg is one of the most brilliant feats of arms, of which history has preserved the remembrance. The enemy, seeing Claparede's division thus without communication advanced three times upon it, and was always repulsed and received by the bayonet. At length, after three hours toil, the flames were got under, and a passage opened.
French G. A. Bulletin, No. VII.
The report had been general in the country, that all the entrenchments which environ the capital were armed—that redoubts were continued—that entrenched camps were forming—and that the city was resolved on defending itself.
The Archduke Maximilian had opened registers to receive the names of those who would join to defend the city; only 30 individuals inscribed their names; all the rest indignantly refused. Disappointed in his hopes, he ordered thither 10 battalions of Landwehr, and 10 battalions of light troops...

Ten of the batteries were driven off by the Voltigeurs and the language of 15 pieces of artillery. At 8 in the evening the pavilion was occupied, and the materials of the bridge put together. Capt. Poutales, Aid to the Prince of Neufchatel, and the Sieur Sufaddi, Aid to Gen. Boudet, threw themselves first into the river to swim to the opposite side after the boats which were there. At 9 a battery of 20 howitzers, at 100 toises from the river, began the bombardment; 18000 charges were made in less than 4 hours, and soon all the city appeared in flames. It is necessary to have seen Vienna, its houses of 8 and 9 stories, its narrow streets, and that population so numerous within so circumscribed a space, to have an adequate idea of the disorder, the alarm and the disasters that such an operation must produce.
The Archduke Maximilian had at 1 in the morning ordered two battalions to march in close columns to try to retake the pavilion which protected the construction of the bridge. The two companies of Voltigeurs which occupied it received the enemy with the muzzles at their breasts: Their fire, and that of the 15 pieces of artillery upon the right bank, destroyed part of the column; the rest saved themselves in the greatest disorder.
The Archduke lost his head in the midst of the bombardment, and at the moment moreover in which he learnt we had passed the Danube, and were marching to cut off his retreat.
At day break the 12th, Gen. O'Reilly, who succeeded the Archduke in command, caused the firing to cease, and sent a deputation to the Emperor, which were presented to his Majesty at the park of Schönbrunn. His Majesty assured the deputies of his protection, and expressed the pain he had experienced at the inhuman conduct of their sovereign, who did not fear to deliver its capital to all the evils of war; who, attacking himself their rights, instead of being the king and father of his subjects had shown himself their enemy and tyrant. The deputation answered this assurance by the most lively acknowledgments.
A capitulation was afterwards concluded; and the 13th at 6 in the morning, the grenadiers of Oudinot's corps took possession of the city.
TENTH FRENCH BULLETIN.
Ebersdorff, (near Vienna) May 23, 1809.
In the night of the 20th the Emperor crossed the Danube at Ebersdorff, with Marshals Berthier, Massena and Lannes. On the 25th he took a position on the left (N) bank, his right wing at Eßlingen, his left at Great Asperne—Both villages were taken. At 4 o'clock P.M. the 21st the enemy shewed themselves, and attempted to drive an advanced guard into the river.—Vain attempt. Massena was first attacked at Great Asperne, by Bellegarde.—He manœuvred with Molitor's and Legrand's divisions, and rendered all attacks abortive. Lannes defended Eßlingen, Bessières covered the flank with cavalry. The battle was severe; the enemy having 200 cannon and 90,000 men the remains of their armies.
Gen. D'Espanje divided his corps into squares; but he was killed at their head.—Gen. Foulers was also killed.—Gen. Nansouty distinguished himself. The battle ended at eight in the evening; and we remained masters of the field of battle. During the night Oudinot's corps, Hillaire's division, and two brigades of cavalry, crossed the river. On the 21st at 4 o'clock, Massena was successively attacked at Asperne; but at last he completely defeated them. The enemy leaving a large space between the right and left wing we took the resolution of penetrating their centre. Marshal Lannes headed the charge, with Oudinot, Hillaire & Boudet on the left, centre & right. The centre of the enemy could not withstand us; in a moment all was overthrown. Bessières made several fine charges. It seemed all over with the Austrian army, when at 7 o'clock in the morning an Aid de Camp of the Emperor came to inform him that the rising of the Danube had drifted a great number of trees and booms, which, in consequence of the events at Vienna, had been cut down and laid on the bank, and that they had broken down the bridges which communicated from the right bank with the little island and with the island In-der-Lobau.
All the reserve corps which were advancing were upon the right bank, as also part of our heavy cavalry, and all Auerstadt's [Davoust's] corps. In consequence of this shocking accident the Emperor resolved to stop his troops advancing. He ordered the Duke of Montebello [Lannes] to stop on the field of battle, and take his position with the left wing against a curtain which the Duke of Rivoli, [Massena] covered, with his right wing at Eßlingen. The cannon, infantry and cartridges, which belonged to our parks, could
not be brought over. The enemy was in the greatest disorder just at the moment when he learnt our bridges had been broken down—The flickering of our fire, and the concentrating of our army, left no doubt respecting the unforeseen accident that had happened.—All his cannon and artillery equipage were again brought in line from 9 A.M. till 7 P.M. he made the greatest efforts, supported by 200 cannon, to overthrow the French army—but all his effort turned only to his discomfiture.—Three times he attacked the villages, and three times he filled them with his dead. The enemy resumed his position which he had left before the attack began, and we remained masters of the field of battle.—Their loss has been great—Prisoners who have been taken say that they have lost 23 Generals and 60 superior Officers.—Many officers and 1500 prisoners are in our hands. Our loss has also been very considerable—1000 killed and 3000 wounded. The Duke of Montebello, [Lannes] was wounded by a cannon ball, in the thigh on the 22d in the evening. Gen. Hillaire is also wounded. Gen. Durochel was killed. The waters of the Danube did not permit the bridges to be rebuilt during the night, and the Emperor ordered the army to pass the little arm from the left bank, and to take a position on the island of In-der-Lobau. We are laboring to replace the bridges, and nothing will be undertaken till they are replaced.
[The residue of this Bulletin contains apologies for events: an account of an interview between BONAPARTE and LANNES, when the wound of the latter was considered mortal; and in which the Emperor "melted into tears," on seeing the devotion of the Marshal to die for him. It boasts too, that the retreat of the French after the charge was well conducted though 200 pieces of cannon poured 40,000 shots amongst them. The Emperor promises to repair the loss, but not until his forces are concentrated, and acknowledges that the Austrian army was well furnished and equipped.]
FRENCH BULLETIN, No. XI.
Ebersdorff, May 24, 1809.
The Duke of Dantzig entered Innsbruck the 19th. On the 11th he had taken 7 cannon and 600 men, at Strub Pass. On the 13th he routed Chasteler at Voergel. Gen. Duroy having raised the siege of the fortress of Kufstein joined the Duke. Chasteler had entered the Tyrol with a few wretches, disseminating revolt and assassination. Several thousand Bavarians and one hundred Frenchmen (including 60 Belgians, Chasteler's countrymen) have fallen a sacrifice to the ferocity of these bears of the mountains, which his discourses excited. This wretch owed the possession of his estate of some millions to the beneficence of the Emperor! The Tyrolese execrate those who have excited them to this destructive rebellion. Their rage against Chasteler, when he retreated, nearly cost him his life. The valley of Zillerthal submitted first. Innsbruck and all the circles have sent deputations to His Majesty the King of Bavaria, vowing allegiance, and imploring his clemency.
Voralberg, instigated to tumult by incendiary Proclamations, will imitate Tyrol, and this part of Germany will be snatched from the horrors and crimes of popular insurrections.
COMBAT OF URFAR.
On the 17th of this month, at 2 P.M. three Austrian columns commanded by Grainville, Bucalwitz and Sommariva, supported by a reserve corps under Jellalich, attacked Vrandamme, at Urfar, in front of the bridge of Lintz. The Prince of Ponte Corvo [Bernadotte] came up immediately with the cavalry and the first brigade of Saxon Infantry. Vrandamme with the Württemberg troops, 4 squadrons of Saxon hussars and dragoons, repulsed with spirit the two first columns of the enemy, drove them from their positions, took 6 pieces of cannon, and 400 men, and routed them. The enemy's third column appeared on the heights of Bollingsberg, at 7 P.M. and their infantry immediately covered the top of the mountain. They were attacked by the Saxon Infantry, and driven from their posts with the loss of 300 men and several waggons of ammunition. The enemy retreated in disorder to Freystadt and Haslach. The hussars sent after them took many prisoners, arms and ammunition. The enemy lost 2000 killed and wounded besides prisoners; our loss does not amount to 400.
G. A. BULLETIN, No. XII.
Is dated Ebersdorff, May 26, 1809.—But contains no great war operations;—of course the French army remained on the Danube, to which it was ordered in the night after the battle of the 22d. He was measuring the height of the Danube with the chain taken from the Turks, when, in 1529, Solyman II. besieged Vienna, and after losing 60,000 men, was compelled to retire from it. This bulletin speaks of the arrival of troops, and that the freshness of the Danube will not subside until the 15th June. It makes no mention of the resection of the bridges, which is stated under the Paris head of June 1, to have been effected the 25th.
AUSTRIAN OFFICIAL ACCOUNTS.
[Of the battle of Ebersdorff, published by order of the Archduke Charles.]
PRELIMINARY REPORT.
Head Quarters Brietenlee, May 23.
On the 19th and 20th, the Emperor Napoleon passed the greater arm of the Danube, with the whole of his army; to which he had drawn all the reinforcements of his powerful allies. He established his main body on the island Lobau, whence the second passage over the left arm, and his further offensive dispositions, were necessarily to be directed. His Imperial Highness resolved to advance with his army to meet the enemy, not to obstruct his passage, but to attack him after he had reached the left bank, and thus to defeat the object of his intended enterprise.
This determination excited throughout the whole army, the highest enthusiasm. Animated by all the feelings of the purest patriotism and of the most loyal attachment to their Sovereign every man became a hero, and the smoking ruins—the scenes of desolation which marked the track of the enemy in his progress through Austria, had inflamed them with a just desire of vengeance. With joyful acclamations, with the cry a thousand times repeated, of "Live our good Emperor," and with victory in their hearts, our columns, at noon on the 21st, proceeded onward to meet the reciprocal attack of the advancing enemy, and soon after three o'clock the battle commenced. The Emperor Napoleon in person, directed the movement of his troops, and endeavored to break through our centre with the whole of his cavalry; that vast body of horse he had supported by 60,000 infantry his guards, and by 100 pieces of artillery. His wings rested on Aspern and Eßlingen, places, to the strengthening of which, the resources of nature and of art had, as far as was possible, contributed. He was not able, however, to penetrate the compact mass which our battalions presented, and every where his cavalry shewed their backs, while our cuirassiers unhorsed his armour-equipped cavaliers, and our light horse carried death into his flanks.—It was a gigantic combat, and is scarce capable of description. The battles with the infantry became immediately general. More than 200 pieces of cannon exhibited on the opposite sides a rivalry in the work of destruction. Aspern was ten times taken, lost and again conquered. Eßlingen, after repeated attacks could not be maintained. At eleven at night the villages were in flames, and we remained masters of the field of battle. The enemy was driven up in a corner, with the island of Lobau and the Danube in his rear. Night had put an end to their carnage.
Mean while fire boats, which were floated down the Danube, destroyed the bridge which the enemy had thrown over the principal branch of the river. The enemy, however, conveyed over during the night, by continued embarks, all the disposable troops which he had in Vienna, and on the upper Danube, made every possible effort for the re-construction of this great bridge; and attacked us at four in the morning with a furious cannonade from the whole of his artillery, immediately after which the action extended along the whole of the line. Until seven in the evening every attack was repelled. The perseverance of the enemy was then compelled to yield to the heroism of our troops, and the most complete victory crowned the efforts of an army, which, in the French Proclamations, was declared to be dispersed, and represented as annihilated by the mere idea of the invincibility of their adversaries. The loss of the enemy has been immense; the field of battle is covered with dead bodies, from among which we have already picked up 6000 wounded, and removed them to our hospitals. When the French could no longer maintain themselves in Aspern, the brave Hessians were obliged to make a last attempt, and were sacrificed.
At the departure of the courier the Emperor Napoleon was in full retreat to the other side of the Danube, covering his retreat by the possession of the large island of Lobau. Our army is still engaged in close pursuit. The more particular details of this memorable day shall be made known as soon as they are collected. Among the prisoners are the French Gen. Durochel, Gen. of Division, and Foullet Royer, first Chamberlain to the Empress; also the Württemberg General Roder, who was made prisoner at Nussdorf by the second battalion of the Vienna Landwehr. These last are the militia which were so ridiculously described in the French bulletins.
Dresden (Saxony) May 24. The last news from the Duchy of Warsaw (the 18th) states that the Archduke Ferdinand was in full retreat; and that the Russian army was within two days march of Warsaw.
IMPORTANT DOCUMENT.
LONDON, JUNE 8.
The following is the Official Dispatch which contains the Instructions of our Government to Mr. Erskine, to treat of American affairs:
COPY OF A DESPATCH.
From Mr. Secretary Canning, to the Hon. D. M. Erskine, dated Foreign Office, 23d Jan. 1809.
SIR,
If there really exist in those individuals who are to have a leading share in the new administration of the United States, that disposition to come to a complete and cordial understanding with Great Britain, of which you have received from them such positive assurances in meeting that disposition it would be useless and unprofitable to recur to a recapitulation of the causes from which the differences between the two governments have arisen, or of the arguments already so often repeated in support of that system of retaliation to which his Majesty has unwillingly had recourse.
That system his Majesty must unquestionably continue to maintain unless the object of it can be otherwise accomplished.
But after the profession on the part of so many of the leading members of the government of the U. S. of a sincere desire to contribute to that object in a manner which should render the continuance of the system adopted by the British government unnecessary, it is thought right that a fair opportunity should be afforded to the American government to explain its meaning, and to give proof of its sincerity.
The extension of the interdiction of the American harbours to the ships of war of France as well as of Great Britain, is, as stated in my former dispatch, an acceptable symptom of a system of impartiality towards both belligerents, the first that has been publicly manifested by the American government.
The like extension of the non-importation Act to other belligerents is equally proper in this view. These measures remove those preliminary objections, which must otherwise have precluded any useful or amicable discussion.
In this state of things, it is possible for Great Britain to entertain propositions, which while such manifest partiality was shewn to her enemies, were not consistent either with her dignity or her interests.
From the report of your conversation with Mr. Madison, Mr. Gallatin, and Mr. Smith, it appears:
1st. That the American Government is prepared, in the event of his Majesty consenting to withdraw the Orders in Council of January and November 1807, to withdraw cotemporaneously on its part the interdiction of its harbors to ships of war, and all non-intercourse and non-importation Acts, so far as respects Great Britain; leaving them in force with respect to France, and the powers which adopt or act under her Decrees.
2dly. (What is of the utmost importance, as precluding a new source of misunderstanding, which might arise after the adjustment of other questions.) That America is willing to renounce, during the present war, the pretension of carrying on in the time of war all trade with the enemy's colonies, from which she was excluded during peace.
3dly. Great Britain, for the purpose of securing the operation of the Embargo, and of the bona fide intention of America to prevent her citizens from trading with France, and the Powers adopting and acting under the French Decrees, is to be considered as being at liberty to capture all such American vessels as may be found attempting to trade with the ports of any of these Powers; without which security for the observance of the Embargo, the raising it nominally with respect to Great Britain alone, would, in fact, raise it with respect to all the world.
On these conditions his Majesty would consent to withdraw the Orders in Council of January and November, 1807, so far as respects America.
As the first and second of these conditions are the suggestions of the persons in authority in America to you, and as Mr. Pinkney has recently (but for the first time) expressed to me his opinion that there will be no indisposition on the part of his Government to the enforcement, by the naval power of Great Britain, of the regulations of America with respect to France, and the countries to which these regulations continue to apply, but that his Government was itself well aware that without such enforcement those regulations must be altogether nugatory, I flatter myself that there will be no difficulty in obtaining a distinct and official recognition of these conditions from the American Government.
For this purpose you are at liberty to communicate this dispatch in extenso to the American Government.
Upon receiving through you, on the part of the American Government a distinct and official recognition of the three above mentioned conditions, his Majesty will lose no time in sending to America a Minister fully empowered to consign them to formal and regular treaty.
As, however, it is possible that the delay which must intervene before the actual conclusion of a treaty may appear to the American Government to deprive this arrangement of part of its benefits, I am to authorize you, if the American Government should be desirous of acting upon the agreement before it is reduced into a regular form, (either by the immediate repeal of the Embargo, and the other Acts in question, or by engaging to repeal them on a particular day) to assure the American Government of his Majesty's readiness to meet such a disposition in the manner best calculated to give it immediate effect.
Upon the receipt here of an official note, containing an engagement for the adoption by the American Government to the three conditions above specified, his Majesty will be prepared, on the faith of such engagement, either immediately (if the repeal shall have been immediate in America), or on any day specified by the American Government, for that repeal, reciprocally to recall the Orders in Council, without waiting for the conclusion of the treaty; and you are authorized, in the circumstances herein described, to make such reciprocal engagement on his Majesty's behalf.
I am, &c. (Signed) GEORGE CANNING.
MISCELLANY.
From the Concord Patriot.
MR. HILL,
In a lucidous paper, published the 11th of July, which never has been, and I hope, never will be named in the PATRIOT, in a piece under the head of "STATEMENT OF FACTS," and signed by "A CITIZEN," appeared a number of gross misrepresentations, which require notice;—not because the vehicle in which they appeared deserves attention; but because such communications serve to furnish poor, little, miserable, Empirical priests with texts, from which to vent their spleen, vanity and ignorance—and may prove a mean of leading some such inconsiderate and rash creatures into difficulty.
This "Citizen" begins his "statement of facts" by enquiring if it is not surprising that gentlemen will be so uncautious as to make such representations as have been made with respect to Governor Smith's coming into Concord. He then states that a Committee was appointed by the Legislature, to go to Exeter and notify Judge Smith of his election as Governor of the State, and escort him into Concord. The latter part of this statement is incorrect. They were directed to inform him of his election as Governor—and their commission went no further. They were not authorized to send a special messenger from Exeter to Concord, to notify the people at Concord to meet their Governor at Pembroke; they were not authorized to defray the expense of His Excellency and suite from Exeter to Concord; they were not authorized to pay, at the public expense, the toll at the Concord Bridge for all who should please to join the cavalcade in escorting His Excellency—and above all they were not authorized to defray the expense of those persons who tendered the homage of their respects to the new Governor at Pembroke, nor of those who revelled at Concord.
It is said that whatever the bill might be, it was forwarded by Gen. Butler, as one of the committee, and requested to be allowed by the Legislature, as expenses which had been actually incurred by the committee. Admitting this to be the fact, which is not correct in all its parts, was Gen. Butler authorized to make up an account against the State for those expenses? and if our economical Governor had paid them himself, which it seems propriety and a more than "twenty years" practice of his predecessors would have dictated to him to have done, would the committee have been under the necessity of asking the Legislature to have reimbursed them the money, which, when expended, they supposed the Governor would repay? And was it the duty of the Governor to approve of the resolve allowing this account, and to sign an order upon the Treasurer for payment? It is a well known fact, that no money can be drawn from the Treasury, except by order from the Governor. He might have prevented the payment of this sum; but it appears he thought it correct that his expenses in traveling from his seat to the seat of government, and of those who honored him with their congratulations, upon the return of the State to correct principles, should be paid by the public. An instance of this kind never happened in New-Hampshire before.

No former governor ever suffered the State to pay the expense of his escort; and for the honor of the State and the dignity of the Governor, it is fondly to be hoped, a similar occurrence will never again happen.
The "Citizen's" statement respecting the forty-seven dollars and fifty cents having been paid for escorting the late Governor Langdon from the Court House to the Meeting House, is as absolute a falsehood as ever stained the dark pages of the paper in which it appeared.
THE FOLLOWING IS A "STATEMENT OF FACTS."
It has been the invariable custom of the Legislature, on the day of Election, as it is called, being the second day of the term, to have a procession formed at the Court House, consisting of the Governor and Council, the Members of the Senate and House of Representatives, Gentlemen of the Clergy, &c. &c. preceded by music and a military escort, and to proceed to the meeting house to attend upon the delivery of the Election Sermon. It has also been the invariable practice of the Legislature to pay a compliment to those persons who assist with music and in the military escort, by causing suitable refreshment to be provided for them, after the performances are over. At the late session, several of the gentlemen of Concord, much to their honor, engaged the Sanbornton band of music to unite with some musicians in Concord, to perform that part of the escort duties of the day, the expense of which they (the gentlemen of Concord) generously defrayed themselves. Capt. Robertson was also requested to assist in the escort, with his company of Artillery, which request he politely complied with, much to his honor, and the gratification of the Legislature. In conformity to a long established custom, the committee of arrangements authorized and requested Capt. Robertson to engage some additional musicians for his company for that day, and also to expend a small quantity of powder. The House of Representatives raised a committee, who were directed to cause to be provided for the persons composing the military escort and band of music, some suitable refreshment. This committee attended to their duty; and the expense of providing refreshment for a large and respectable company of Artillery, and for an excellent band of music—the cost of the powder used upon the occasion, the money paid by Capt. Robertson for extra music, and the toll for the company's crossing the bridge, amounted to the sum of forty-seven dollars and fifty cents—which sum the Legislature, with great propriety, ordered to be paid.
Mr. Citizen would endeavor to insinuate that this expense was created solely to honor Mr. Langdon. He is too well acquainted with Legislative customs to pretend a thing of this kind except it be to deceive. The same arrangements would have been made, if no person had been in town who ever had been Governor, or if Governor Smith had been there himself.
A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE.
THE HOT POKER.
Every politician who speaks the English language is acquainted with Dr. Franklin's humorous and illustrative anecdote of the hot poker. Mr. Jackson, his Majesty's Minister Extraordinary, was also the extraordinary, modest minister, who presented the red hot poker to the Danes, and not only used it to the full gratification of John Bull's delicacy, but took pay for the trouble of heating it. If the modest Mr. J. brings the hot poker on his present mission, it is hoped he will apply it to the hon. and his majesty's other advocates, and gauge their sensibility till they acknowledge that England has bones and themselves essential injury.—B.

PORTSMOUTH.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1809.
On the receipt of the late intelligence from England, of the disavowal by the British Cabinet, of the arrangement made by their minister, Mr. Erskine, one general burst of indignation was heard from every quarter. All cried, shame on such perfidy and duplicity! We had hoped that such unparalleled baseness would meet the merited detestation, not only of every AMERICAN, but of every man who enjoyed the protection of our equal laws; and basked in the sunshine of our liberty and prosperity. We were gratified to observe a manifestation of the spirit of patriotism, in some prints which had hitherto held a high tone in the opposition— and hope nothing short of honorable reparation from Britain, for the various and accumulating injuries received from her, will reconcile our citizens to hold relations of amity with her. But what pledge can the offer, that has not been forfeited? What concession, that can atone for her repeated perfidies? From the termination of the revolutionary contest, she has beheld our prosperity with rancorous jealousy; her envy has kept pace with our progress in the path of national greatness, and can never be sated, till her acknowledgement of our independence, (extorted when her attempts to establish her pretensions to sovereignty over us proved abortive) is cancelled; and the banner of tyranny again waves in proud triumph over the prostrate ruins of the temple of liberty.
What instance of friendship for the United States has Great Britain ever exhibited?— What project of aggrandizement has she relinquished, what commercial advantage foregone, to advance the interest or conciliate the friendship of the United States?— Not one: Her interest, which merges every virtue and tolerates every species of crime, demanded a commercial intercourse with America. Every concession which the stern integrity of our government or its agents would yield being obtained, a commercial treaty was formed, the observance of which would have been mutually advantageous to both nations: But when its provisions ran counter to their corrupt and mercenary views, we have witnessed with what facility they are wantonly set at nought, and the good faith of our government practiced upon till Britain felt assured of tolerance in every enormity the might commit. Innovations on the established laws of nations; usurpations of powers and rights, acknowledged by no nation under heaven; contempt for neutral privileges; arrogance, duplicity and the basest treachery, have marked her whole conduct, not only towards this country, but every other, which has permitted her alliance. Punic faith , so long proverbial, will henceforth cease to be an epithet of odium. A more emphatic idea of perfidy will be conveyed by the substitution of British faith .
Since the torch of war has gleamed thro' Europe, even from the dawning of the French revolution to the present period, never has one day presented to the citizens of America a more deeply interesting body of intelligence, than we this day publish:— This is none of the idle reports, the rumors, the it-is-said, which for some days has occupied our columns. This is certain and authentic. The most sceptical must believe when the most prying cannot discover a loop on which to hang a doubt.
What must now be the feelings of our merchants, whose property has been committed to the ocean on the faith of Britain? Where are now the ships and the men which the policy of Jefferson would have preserved to the republic? Where are now the lucky finews which republicans were strengthening, to buffet the billows of war which have long been rolling to our shores? All, all have been given to the winds and the waves on the breath of an English Ambassador, whose acts are disavowed by the perfidious Government he represents. We have not merely relied on a broken reed, we have leaned upon a Spear which has pierced us in our most vulnerable part.
Let us not however, despond. These things will have their advantages. They will strip naked the knaves of party and clear the field of the unsuspecting and too credulous many who have been duped by their arts and misrepresentations. No more shall there arise a man among us, who shall basely and traitorously announce "Great Britain has done us no harm," even at the very time when she was plundering our vessels, impressing our seamen, dishonouring our flag in every sea; yea, even while her hands were yet reeking with our blood, at such a moment did the Herald of "the British party" proclaim aloud, Great Britain has done us no harm!
Let us remember these important facts, yea let us treasure them up as pearls of great price, but let us not indulge in idle recrimination in useless and pernicious abuse. Let us gird on the armor of Patriotism— let us raise the Standard of United America with the motto "FOR OUR HOMES AND FIRESIDES." He who will not rally round it, who will not with a holy enthusiasm swear to die ten thousand deaths rather than abandon it, let him be consigned to that infamy which he justly merits.
No more let us listen to the Syren song of the Apologists of Britain. They would lull us to rest while their paymasters riled us of all we hold most dear. They will sing a new song. They will go with the current of odium which must set in against the perfidious Ministers of England, but they will talk of a new administration and promise in the name of that administration to heal the wounded honor, and redress the wrongs, of America. They promise us "indemnity for the past and security for the future," but who will believe their promises? No man! There may and will be those who affect to believe in British faith, but after this new, and before unheard of act of treachery, it is morally impossible that any man can sincerely believe they will do us justice without using the rhetoric of Bayonets and the arguments of Cannon Balls.

OLLA VOLATIL!
A little paragraph appears in the Oracle of Saturday last, apparently editorial, accusing "Aristides," a respectable correspondent of the Gazette, with "unprincipled and profligate perversion of other men's language and sentiments." The "perversion" is that part of Gov. Smith's Speech where, speaking of the influence of party spirit, he says, "To a person under the baneful influence of this spirit, no act of a rival party can be right, this spirit prevails as it does at this day, it is easy to please a part of the community, and impossible to satisfy the other part."
Gov. Smith, in this sentence, whether by accident or design is immaterial, depicts the spirit which actuates his own party, to a little. Aristides too is noticing the influence of the same spirit, and particularly the virulence and abuse a single act of the late Executive has called forth from the opposition. Although the Oracle has asserted that republicans "regretted and were ashamed" of that act, every citizen gave credit on account for as base a falsehood as ever issued from a press, and known to be such when written. Is it a perverfon , then, in Aristides, to quote the language of Gov. S. even though he might not require a vubole column or an entire sentence to convey his ideas? He was cited as speaking the language of a party—and his manifest chagrin, and the clamor which succeeded, shew that Aristides was not mistaken.
Much anger has been expressed on the subject which the able exposition of Aristides has made familiar to the public. A nameless scribbler in the Oracle gave the signal, and the whole pack were unkenneled in full cry, to hunt down Governor Langdon—as "partial, unjust, unmanly and ungenerous." Why this crimination, and who its author? Because, forsooth, Gov. Langdon passed by all our talents, all our integrity, and placed a democrat on the bench of justice, where none but lawyers should sit.
To arrest the progress of misrepresentation, Aristides assumed his pen, and in a language so clear that the most simple could understand it, refuted the calumnies of the Oracle writer, whose apparent "object, aim and end" is to destroy that confidence in a republican judiciary which they claimed for it when the sword of justice was wielded by federal hands—and to impress our fellow citizens with a belief that the bestowment of offices was regulated by electioneering services.—Probably generosity, in this instance, has exceeded judgment, and that the Oracle man has cut a garment from his own cloth—but it fits so clumsily that the imposture detects itself. Alarmed lest he should be esteemed a bare bird , this writer attempted a replication; but it served to amuse both friends and enemies (if he had any) without benefit to the one or injury to the other. Its ingenious quibbles and play of words in no wise relevant, evidence the weakness of the cause it would support, and the source whence it sprang.

To the Editor of the New-Hampshire Gazette. Sir—The enclosed communication was written for to-day's Oracle, as that paper was to appear immediately after Mr. Ogilvie's oration of last Thursday. It may hap that the judicious editor of that paper admits no pieces that treat of literature, only; or are penned by persons not belonging to the club of writers who have for motto: Nul n'aura de l'esprit que nous et nos amis . If you are of a different creed you are at liberty to make use of the enclosed communication. LUCIUS. Saturday morning, July 29.
COMMUNICATION.
Literature is to civilized society what a refreshing shower is to a loathsome atmosphere. The former assuages the painful disgusts men of sensibility must daily experience from political collisions, family troubles or the miseries inherent to our natures, as the latter dispels the mephitic air, distemper-gales lie lungs and invigorates our physical faculties. The benign effects of literature, sciences and arts, like the celestial luminaries, encircle our earthly orb; they are not co-restricted by national barriers nor by the wars of ambition. The truly enlightened man, the friend of science, the prototist of the fine arts, embrace the whole human race as their brethren, and consider the universe as their dominion. Such were the reflections inspired to the writer of this communication after having heard Mr. Ogilvie on Beneficence. In morals as in religion, the teacher's examples must keep pace with his precepts; an axiom better known than practised— Mr. Ogilvie has supported his elegant performance with a handsome donation to the Female Asylum of Portsmouth. It is said that the renewing of similar powerful arguments on beneficence mark his sojourn to every place he gratifies with the display of his oratorical talents.
To criticise Mr. Ogilvie's last oration might, in the estimation of many, flagellate the critic with the want of feeling, and of that amiable virtue so ably and effectually advocated in that oration; even the talents of an Aristarchus would not make the writer of these lines risk the goodness of his heart to be put in question for the uncertain and paltry advantage of controverting, with success, some metaphysical propositions, and analogical definitions on the nature of beneficence and selfishness; in which he disagrees with Mr. O. But it is but justice to say, that on whatever side the argument on these points should rest, an incontrovertible truth would remain, viz: that Mr. O. must be inspired and actuated by motives, the sources of which cannot be traced, but to the philanthropy that graces his heart and warms his highly cultivated mind.
The way Mr. O. has chosen to spread his ethics is in some respects entirely new. It is supposed that his system will prove successful in a country where knowledge is so generally diffused amongst all classes of people as in these States. Were it not to assume too much presumption, I would predict a brilliant success to Mr. O. and dare to warn him from embracing effectually the cause of Rome or Carthage, lest the interest of one in prejudice of the other, should bias his mind and taint his universal philanthropy with local predilections. LUCIUS.
