THE REPROVER, No. VI.
*****
To the FEDERALISTS.
THE Reprover has not been inactive to the progress of your high pretensions to respect to Liberty, and your diversified schemes to impose on the Citizens of America. Ye Federal schemers, ye are incapable of the idea of Liberty.—Glorious heaven-born Liberty. Your numbers are but few. Those who have the happiness to know what Liberty is, are many; and their number rapidly increases in every nation. Your souls are too dastardly to comprehend its divine grandeur. Ye are so contemptibly low and mean, that the words of liberal science are lost upon you; and what you discern of them, ye cannot endure. Ye are the associates of those infernal powers, who have in all ages insulted and persecuted mankind, and whom mankind abhor. For the undeserved origin of all truth and goodness has touched the hearts of men, and awakened in them a just attention to those SACRED RIGHTS which from Him they have derived.—Ye are like the troubled ocean, which is never at rest; and which will never acknowledge its boundaries, 'till the ALMIGHTY FIAT tells it, hitherto shall ye come, and no further, and here your proud waves shall be stayed. In vain are all your efforts.—You threaten to draw the sword, against a government which HEAVEN has ordained! Ye weak and impotent race of cringing slaves,—Republicans hold you in derision. They know the ground on which they stand, and that the ALMIGHTY is its basis. Be ye warned in time.—And if Heaven has graciously decreed to you the undeserved favour, cease your hostile designs, before the just vengeance of an insulted and injured People, inflicts on you the punishment which your atrocious crimes against Liberty and humanity merit. While ye advocate the cause of the British Government, ye are but hastening your own perpetual disgrace and ruin. Ye are influenced by the same motives which are precipitating that government to final destruction. It renews the war with France, as its rival in commercial advantages. But the event will prove its incompetency to effect its iniquitous and ungenerous purposes.
No. 7.
THE self-opinionated and high minded politicians of the adverse party, find themselves in a very uncomfortable situation. They will soon be indulged with an opportunity of once more trying their strength. When Congress, in its next session, enters upon the interesting business of the necessary amendment of the Constitution, and the affairs of Louisiana, they will doubtless make a bold push to bring themselves once more into consequence, with the help of their old friends of the English Government. Should they succeed, they expect to have the commerce and the fortune of the world at their command. But (unhappily for them) a vast majority of the People of the United States are for the proposed amendment; and in the States where there has been the greatest opposition to the measures of the government, the number of the friends of Republicanism and the government are rapidly increasing.—But as, in their intended struggle, they will have little more to do with reason and sober sense, than what will argue against them, out of their own mouths they will stand condemned, while they are opposing themselves, with invidious purposes, to the established sentiments of a virtuous and enlightened People. Truth is making its way into every mind throughout our extensive country; and Republicanism will triumph over all its enemies.—The time is at hand when all mankind will unite in putting a final end to those debasing commercial jealousies, which have so long rendered the nations miserable—when the avarice and ambition of England will no longer have the power to monopolize the commerce of the world. The war, in which she is now engaged without any just pretext, and with a diabolical fury, if persisted in, must, in the event, reduce her to such extremities, as will produce a glorious revolution, to the overthrow of monarchical and aristocratical tyranny, and free the People of that country from the most distressful oppression.—When this expected and undoubted event takes place, the whole world will be at rest.
The federalists have seldom displayed so much ignorance and wilful perversion of fact as on the subject of Louisiana. It is very unfortunate for them, that the arguments advanced by Messrs. Ross, Morris, and others, on the importance of this country to the United States, must shut the mouths of the inferior members of the party, who would now attempt to undervalue and condemn the acquisition of such a desirable and extensive territory—out of their own mouths are they condemned. But to relax nothing of their system of finding fault with every measure of the present administration, they attempt to excite discontent on account of the greatness of the sum to be paid for the purchase—and tell them that it amounts to all the money in the U. States, and can never be raised but by oppressing the people with intolerable exactions. In this position, also, are they no less exposed, as a single moment's reflection must shew its error. The purchase money, so far from draining the United States, could be raised in specie and notes, at any ordinary period, in the city of New-York alone. And it is no less certain, that in the same city also, a company could be formed in 48 hours, who would secure the payment of the whole sum, with an immense profit to the public, for a grant of the vacant land from government. Indeed, if Louisiana contains 256 millions of acres, the land has cost less than six cents per acre, in territory and sovereignty. Yet with these facts before them do we see men laboring thro' columns and pages to persuade the people into a belief of the impolicy of the treaty for that country, and the impossibility of complying with its terms. How grateful to these gentlemen would have been the acquisition of the province in question by a bloodless, perhaps!—Bee.
The citizens of the United States from the Banks of Erie and Allegheny to the Natchez, are interested in the navigation of the Mississippi. They are deeply interested to have a strong body of settlers on both sides of the river, from the mouth of the Ohio to the mouth of the Mississippi. They will learn from the federal newspapers, that all the opposition to these great objects is from the zealous partisans & gazettes of the federal party. They will see that the republicans are their steady and sincere friends. The citizens of the United States in every quarter will see how providential an escape they have had from being joined in a war on the side of Great Britain, which that government and nation appear to consider so peculiarly solemn and dangerous. Europe is plainly combined not to assist England, & not to interfere with France. Spain, Holland, and Italy are acting with France. Russia is not arming by land, of course not against France. Russia is arming by sea and therefore probably against England. Prussia and Austria are great German powers, yet they do not interfere to prevent whatever disposition France may intend to make of the British German principalities and territories. They suffer the German constitution to be openly violated by France, and therefore are her friends and the enemies of England. We appeal to every candid man, whether a war for Louisiana with France and her open and secret friends would not have been far more costly (not to speak of its hazards) than the purchase we have happily made. Had we engaged at this awful crisis in a war on the side of Britain and against France, it would plainly have been a war vainly attempting to prevent the four great continental powers from new modelling their neighborhood in Europe, and to prevent them from breaking up the commercial monopoly and naval despotism of Great Britain. Let the British Parliament gradually extend liberty of conscience, the right of electing, being elected, and the right of arms to the free people of the United Kingdoms, and she will remain a great and independent country, though her
navy and commerce were not greater than those of her neighbors. If she relies upon arms in the hands of disfranchised men for her defence; or upon an impracticable omnipresence of her navy, or upon the bygone paper credit of the last century, or upon any other resource, under divine providence, the national strength of eighteen millions of people fairly participating in the government of the country, is not a frantic co-operation of distant America that can save Great Britain and Ireland from some awful misfortune.
(Aurora.)
How devoutly thankful should the people of the United States feel, in consequence of their total separation from the British constitution and system of government. Two works in 3 octavo volumes, have been openly & without contradiction, or punishment, published in the city of London in the years 1794 and 1797, by Mr. T. H. B. Oldfield, which merit the attention of every man in America, who desires to avoid the introduction of corruption and enormous insupportable public expenses. One of these invaluable works of Mr. Oldfield, is entitled "a history of the Boroughs of Great Britain." In that work (vol. 1 page 49.) it is stated before the whole government and people of Great Britain, that the elections for county seats in the British parliament or legislature, have cost the parties in the general course of their elections, from 20,000. sterling to 100,000. sterling!! The proof of being a member of the British legislature must be a profit of corruption, and it must cost an immense sum to give more or less profit to the majority of 660 members of the present imperial parliament of Great Britain. Nothing else can account for their immense public debt, which is two thousand five hundred millions of dollars. Nothing else can account for their present expenses, which are three millions of dollars per annum, besides their poor taxes, and church taxes, and tythes which are forty millions of dollars. We are led into these reflections by an explicit recommendation in Mr. Joseph Denny's last Port Folio, of Saturday the 24th of September. In that weekly news paper, in opposition to the constitution of Pennsylvania, he inculcates the expediency and necessity of a Church establishment which is, in the eyes of America, one of the most odious and most costly parts of the British constitution and system of government. It is a strange thing for a Presbyterian or independent of good sense, information and reading, from the banks of Connecticut river, to set up a newspaper, in Philadelphia in the very printing house of Wm. Cobbett, an acknowledged British ministerial agent and there to propose and recommend the most odious and pernicious, establishment possible to the numerous free religious societies of Pennsylvania. Congress set under a constitution, which does not admit a religious test. The legislature of Pennsylvania set under a constitution, which expressly reserves from them and for the people, all power over religious rights and the rights of conscience. The whole civil list in the very expensive government of Great Britain is four millions and one half of dollars per annum; but the expence of their church establishment in England only, is five times that sum; or twenty two millions of dollars yearly. Oh what a charming time will this British ecclesiastical millennium of Mr. Denny's be when we shall all of us, Quakers, Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Scotch, German and Dutch Reformed, Swedish Episcopalians, Universalists, United Brethren, Omihs, Menonists, Dunkers and Hebrews, be good members of the church of England as by law established! This open recommendation of Mr. Denny's, if he shall venture to pursue it, will draw forth the universal reprobation of the American people. His manner of introducing it is very impressive. He does not even pretend, that it is necessary for the prevention of vice or for the promotion of morality or religion; but plainly and solemnly argues, that it will be a strong engine in the hands of government. We, however do solemnly warn, the American people, that if ever, by means of a church establishment, the executive power, of this country shall get (what Archimedes only desired) another world on which to roll their lever, they will do with this world what they please.

Miscellaneous Paragraphs.
THE TWO JEWS.
(From a late London paper.)
Two old Jews, who go about the streets dealing in old clothes, passing by a gentleman's stable, were so fascinated by a couple of jackets, belonging to two posillions, that they could not resist the temptation of adding them to their stock in trade. While they were secreting their prize, the two owners returned from a public house, where they had been drinking a pot of porter, and saw the transaction. They rushed out, seized the Israelites, locked them up in the stable, and went in quest of certain things which promised better sport than a prosecution. They then returned, tied the Jews face to face, and matting together their own beards, smeared them with warm shoe-makers wax. As soon as the wax was cooled, and a sufficient number of spectators gathered together to view this fraternal Jewish hug, the posillions, at intervals, applied a few pinches of strong snuff, which caused such a concussion of noses, and such sneezing and sputtering in each others faces that while it inflicted the severest punishment on the thieves, the spectators were highly pleased with this spectacle of distributive justice.
On the 4th of August a ball of fire struck the White Bull, a public house kept by John Hubbard, at East Norton, England. The chimney was thrown down by it; the roof in part torn off, the windows shattered to atoms; and the dairy, pantry, &c. converted into a heap of ruins. It appeared like a luminous ball, of considerable magnitude, and on coming in contact with the house exploded with a great noise and a very oppressive sulphurous smell. Some fragments of this ball were found near the spot, and have been subjected to chemical analysis by a gentleman in the neighborhood, who has found them to consist of one half silicious clay, thirty-five parts of oxidated iron, twelve of magnesia, and a small portion of nickel, with some sulphur. The surface of these stones is of a dark color, and varnished as if in a state of fusion, and bearing numerous globules of a whitish metal, commixing sulphur and nickel; from some indentures on the surface it appears probable that the ball was soft when it descended, and it was obviously in a state of fusion as the grass, &c. is burned up where the fragments fell. Its motion, while in the air, was very rapid, and appeared parallel to the horizon.
From the Gazetteer.
MR. DUNHAM,
I have recently returned from a tour thro' the Southern States, & have had an opportunity of informing myself of the result of the elections, for members of the eighth Congress, of all the States south and west of the Hudson, except New Jersey. The elections are all complete, that state only excepted, and are as follows, viz.
Table with 2 columns: Republicans, Federalists. Rows list states and vote counts: Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, S. Carolina, N. Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania.
Does this look, Mr. Dunham, like "an encroach of federalism" or does it appear, as a writer in your paper some time ago asserted, that "the parties in this country are very nearly balanced." TRUTH.
POLITICAL RULE OF THREE,
OR, A Problem for the Federalists to solve.
If 15,000,000 of dollars would build and equip 43 ships, mount 74 guns (to wit the federalists) how many frigates lay 10,546,000 dollars build.
The first of the above sums is to be paid by the United States (a part directly to our own merchants, and of the remainder we believe not a farthing will ever go in France in specie) for an extent of territory larger than the original thirteen states, bordering on one of the finest rivers in the known world. This territory includes the rich commercial and flourishing city of New Orleans, the soil extremely fertile in the richest commodities, and the acquisition adds more than half a million of inhabitants to our population.
The latter sum was expended during the four years of Mr. Adams' administration, to build ten frigates, finish three others, carrying from 28 to 44 guns, build twelve or fourteen smaller vessels, carrying from 14 to 22 guns, and ten galleys mounting 1 gun each. Farmer's Register.
Late Foreign Intelligence.
NEW-YORK, OCT. 7.
Yesterday arrived ship Maryland, captain Wickham, in 31 days from London. By her we have received a regular file of the Morning Herald to the 31st of August. We are also indebted to capt. Wickham and a friend in town for a regular file of the Morning Post to the first of September inclusive, and Lloyd's list to the 30th of August. In these papers the affairs of Ireland make a considerable figure, arrests were daily taking place, and on the 23rd of August an immense depot of military stores were discovered in Dublin, amongst which were, it is said, 34,000 pikes 42,000 rounds of musket ball cartridges, tied up in parcels of 20 each, and 4 flints attached to each parcel, 246 hand grenades, boxes and bottles of powder, and almost every thing necessary for an army.
A Hamburg vessel had been seized at Droheda, and the captain & crew made prisoners, in consequence of 300 stand of arms of foreign manufacture being discovered in the neighbourhood, supposed to have been landed from her. It would appear that the volunteer corps in Britain were too numerous, the services of some of them had been rejected, and great dissatisfaction prevailed in consequence. The communication with the continent was very uncertain as the French took every precaution to prevent the situation of their country from being known abroad. It appears, however, that their exertions continue increasing in proportion to the difficulties they expect to encounter, a number of ships of war, were building in the different ports of France, and every endeavour using to render their marine respectable. Two bankers, had been sent to the temple for giving bills of exchange on Hamburg & Frankfort for 3,000,000 of livres destined for the use of Louis XVIII, subscribed by some royalists in France since his refusal to resign his right to the throne of France was known.
In the Mediterranean capt. Gourdon commanding a division of French frigates captured on the 15th August, about 12 leagues from Cape Sable an English corvette, a brig and two pinks. These 4 vessels arrived at Toulon on the 16th.
LONDON, AUG. 25.
It is stated in the accounts from the Hague, dated the 16th, that the ratifications of the convention concluded on the 25th of June last, between the French, Batavian and Italian republics, relative to the military operations against England, and the part which the latter powers are to take in the war, were executed at Brussels on the 24th ult.
Yesterday was settling day at the stock exchange, but nothing remarkable occurred. Indeed much business has not been transacted of late.
A letter from Brussels, dated Aug. 17, says;
"It is generally expected here, that when the chief consul pays a visit in the autumn to the departments on the left bank of the Rhine, and views the sea-coasts, as well as the troops destined to compose the grand army, he will take up his residence in this city, that he may be on the spot, to direct in person the military preparations making against England."
Several of the Hanoverian officers are said to have entered into the Russian service.
The menace of invasion is still kept up, but we think the tone used upon the subject is not quite so cheery as it was. Gen. Augereau, it is said is to command an encampment of 50,000 men upon the Flemish coast, and General Massena another encampment near St. Omer's. Gen. Mortier is also to have a command in the expedition.
AUG. 26.
The celebrated Georges, with other French emigrants, have lately left London, no doubt on some secret expedition.
A private letter from Paris of the 18th inst. states the following intelligence:
"It is now understood, in the best informed circles, that the first consul before his departure to execute his grand project and his plans of campaign, exercised the two principal privileges granted to him by a Senatus Consultum. By the first, he will pass an amnesty in favour of all criminals in custody, except those confined for conspiracy against the state, for murder and robbery; and that by the second he will deposit with the senate the nomination of his successor."
It appears by letters from Vienna, that Champagny, the French ambassador, is immediately to be recalled. There is no reason to think that Bonaparte has been dissatisfied with the services of this minister. His recall is designed to afford him an opportunity of more distinguished services to the great nation at this interesting mo-
ment. Citizen Champagny was useful at the court of Vienna; but it is supposed that his advice would be still more profitable in another department. He is therefore to be invested with a naval appointment, and is to furnish his proportion of assistance in digesting the plan of invasion. If we may judge from what is known of the state of French preparation for a descent, some changes of ministry would be certainly highly expedient.
YARMOUTH, AUG. 27.
Arrived from the Texel his majesty's hired armed cutter Hawke, lieut. James Grant, which place she left at 10 o'clock on Friday night with dispatches from capt. Cunningham, senior officer on that station, and Mr. Kennedy, the purser to the Princess Orange for ship stores. Capt. Cunningham had previous to the Hawke's leaving the Texel, gone close into that port, and discovered 11 sail of ships of war, of various descriptions, rigged & rigging. The Princess of Orange formerly the Washington, was so close in as to be discovered by the people along the coast; a fight, no doubt extremely mortifying to the already humiliated Hollanders—the finest ship the States could ever boast, employed in blocking a port she was originally intended to adorn and protect.
LONDON, AUG. 28.
General Dumourier's visit to, and reception in this country, is thus accounted for:—During the American war that General was Commandant, or second in command at Cherbourg, when an invasion of this country was a favourite object with the Government of France; and, with others, Dumourier was ordered to dig & arrange such plans as he thought most conducive to the accomplishment of the intended enterprise. It so happened that Dumourier's plans and communications were preferred; but the local affairs of France were shortly afterwards deranged, and the project of course abandoned. The papers, however, were placed in the Portfolio of the King; but in the eventuality of revolutionary convulsion, these with other State Papers, were delivered into the War-Office, and there preserved. Dumourier, not conceiving these plans had escaped the fury of the multitude, gave himself no concern about them; but having received private information, when in Germany, that the King's Portfolio, & its contents, were in the possession of Bonaparte, and that he proposed to follow the instructions laid down by the General respecting the invasion of England, Dumourier instantly wrote to the Duke of Orleans, who resided in London and requested his Highness would immediately acquaint the Government here with the whole of the project. This letter was immediately shown by the Duke of Orleans to the Commander in Chief, who expressed a wish that his Highness would invite Gen. Dumourier to this country, under an assurance that he would be protected by the Government; and in consequence of this invitation, we understand the General arrived in London.
The Duke of Clarence (3d son of the King) has enrolled himself as a volunteer.
The Earl of Warwick has subscribed 10,000l. for the purchase of arms for the Warwickshire volunteers.
Capt. D'Auvergne, Prince of Bouillon, who is to have a principal command in a secret expedition, was yesterday appointed to the Severn, of 44 guns, at Woolwich.
HAGUE, AUG. 28.
The building of small vessels for the expedition against England goes on not only in the national and Asiatic Company's shipyards; but also in the private yards. A stipulated number must be ready at the time fixed by the French Government.
Our government has thought proper to permit the navigation of neutral ships to our West-India Colonies, and at the same time, the exportation of products from thence.
LONDON, AUG. 28.
A Minister of Malta has been received, and accredited at Paris.
The King George British Packet, from Lisbon for England, has been boarded by a French privateer, and carried into Spain. She had on board 31,321 dollars, and 15,000 cases of rough diamonds. Gen. Lalesle, the French Minister, at Lisbon, gave information to the privateer, that the diamonds were putting on board the packet; and is to go shares in the booty.
Bonaparte will not command the army of England, in person:—It is said General Mortier (who has but little fame to lose) will be selected thereto.
It is confidently said the French have consented to withdraw their troops from the Elbe and Weser; and that their ports will be occupied by Prussians.
AUGUST 30.
A foreign messenger has just arrived from Calais, and reports of Peace have caused the funds to rise a little.
AUGUST 31.
Private accounts from France, mention, that exertions are making therein for the equipment of a respectable naval force. A 74 has just been launched at Toulon, where four sail of the line and two frigates are on the stocks. At Toulon, 3000 galley slaves, and the same number of men, are employed in the dockyards and fortifications.
The French have 6000 in Genoa. The communication between this country and France remains closed; and no accounts reach us from thence, excepting by the foreign messengers.
Accounts from Ireland, are to the 28th August. Emmet has been examined, and fully recommitted for trial as a traitor. He will be tried immediately, and his fate, it is supposed, will carry with it important consequences to the general cause. The proofs against him are ample; and the government will not fail promptly to execute the sentence of the law.
BY THE LAST MAILS.
BALTIMORE, OCT. 3.
ADMIRAL JOYEUSE, Governor of Martinique, has sent a Note to the Governors of the neutral islands in the West-Indies, complaining of the proclamation of Commodore Hood, for declaring the island blockaded;—and directing the capture of neutral vessels, entering in, and coming out of port.—This last the Admiral declares, to be new, and contrary to the laws of nations.—He ridicules the idea of the blockade of the island, by one ship and one or two sloops of war, which is the whole force the British have on that station; and demonstrates the ease with which neutral vessels can enter the ports, creeks, &c. of the island. The market, the Admiral says, are good.
Bonaparte has lately issued new regulations concerning French privateering. They are drawn up in the usual terse language of modern French laws. By these regulations, "Every vessel refusing to bring to, on being summoned to that effect, may be compelled to it; and in case of resistance and of fight, the shall be made a good prize." Very severe punishment is denounced by these regulations against the illegal capture, or plunder of vessels detained.
BALTIMORE, OCT. 4.—It must afford pleasure to the friends of the administration, to reflect, that the cause of sham federalism, in the city of Baltimore, is so completely sunk by the pressure of despair, that not the least effort was made, at the electioneering campaign of yesterday, to force on the people a single candidate, either for Congress or assembly, except in a few instances:—in the fourth ward where R. G. Harper, Esq. voted, that gentleman had one vote!—And several opposition gentlemen were honoured with some votes, both in that and the other wards; but we believe their suffrage was in every case so limited as not to exceed half a dozen votes, in favor of any particular candidate.
Oct. 5.—In the county, as will appear by the returns, C. Ridgeley, (of W.) is the fourth on the list of candidates for its representation. This gentleman is declared to be in the opposition; but is, we believe, generally viewed as a man highly moderate in his political standing. And if such opinion has influenced republicans to afford him suffrage, it is hoped, by his conduct, he will not prove it a delusion. The other candidates who run in the county, (eight in number) were as we learn, all republicans; and when we take this into consideration, it is not a matter of wonder that Mr. R. has been elected. Notwithstanding, we are sorry that want of system on the part of the majority, should thus suffer a hostile and feeble minority to triumph, in any measure, over its political principles.
WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 5.
On Monday the election for Representatives in Congress and members of Assembly took place in the state of Maryland. We have only heard from two districts of Prince George.
Last year in Bladensburg, the republican majority was five—this year it is twenty eight.
Last year in Vanville, the republican majority was 141—the year it is 156.
To the re-election of Walter Bowie, republican, as a representative to Congress, there is no opposition. Additional information.—JOSEPH H. NICHOLSON is elected representative to Congress without opposition.—Dr. ARCHER is also elected a representative to congress.—Both these gentlemen are republicans.
From all the information received it is ascertained that five republican and one federal representative to Congress; and thirty-five Republican, and seven federal members of Assembly are elected.
NEW-YORK, OCT. 6.
The following important Letter from the American Consul at Algiers, to the American Consul at Cadiz, has just been received. CIRCULAR.
ALGIERS, AUGUST 2.
"I have to inform you, that this moment has entered this port, two galeas, Tripolin corsairs, with three laicen sails, and carry four guns, from 50 to 60 men each, 13 benches of oars—they came from the eastward, will sail in a few days for the coast of Spain, no doubt in search of American unarmed merchant vessels. You will give this information to the masters of American merchant vessels, and to all whom it may concern, in the port of your district and adjacent, and to the captains of any of the United States ships of war, which can be informed in time to prevent the threatened evil, and to search with vigilance for these marooning crafts.
I am, with respect, your obedient servant, (Signed) RICHARD O'BRINE, JOSEPH YZNARDI, Esq. Cadiz.
Mr. G. W. Ervine, Consul at London, was presented to the King on the 31st August, at the royal levee, by Mr. Munroe.
NEW-YORK, OCT. 7.
By the Maryland, in 32 days from London we have received at the office of the Morning Chronicle, through the attention of our London correspondent, and the politeness of some mercantile friends in this city, regular files of London papers, from the 22nd of Aug. to the month of Sept.
Nothing material had as yet taken place. Bonaparte's arrangements are such as greatly to puzzle the politicians of Great Britain; some suppose that he will consent himself for this year with attempting Ireland; others that he will confine to his attacks the Islands of Jersey and Guernsey, which it is said he terms "battresses for his bridge to England;" others again are for sending him for an expedition to the Moors. A counter plan from Great Britain against France is also strongly talked of. Plots and conspiracies in France against the First Consul are also mentioned, but these to be without foundation.
Russia and Prussia continue undecided. Spain is still neutral, though it is said Bonaparte only suffers her to continue to till her galleons freighted with treasure arrive in safety.
PROVIDENCE, OCT. 1.
On Monday last, before the Supreme Judicial Court sitting in this town, came on the trial of Jacob Burk, charged with having committed a Rape on the body of Elizabeth Stafford, of Coventry. The investigation and pleadings lasted from half past eight in the morning, till nine in the evening; when, after a fair and impartial trial, the cause was committed to the jury, who about 1 o'clock next morning, brought in their verdict guilty.—The Court pronounced sentence of death upon Burk, who is to be executed on Friday, the 11th of Nov. next.
On Tuesday capt. Enoch Tower, of Cumberland, was tried for the murder of his son's wife. The jury brought in their verdict, guilty in the second degree. His sentence is three months imprisonment, a fine of 500 dollars, and costs of prosecution.
SPRINGFIELD, OCT. 11.
A regimental review in Windsor, Berkshire county, on the 30th September last, the following unhappy accident took place:—While the regiment was engaged in a sham fight, as a Mr. Talbot was ramming down the cartridge the gun went off half cocked the rammer entered the head of Mr. Elisha Hubbard, of Dalton, just below the ear, and passed through till prevented by the skull at the end.—He survived but a few moments.
BOSTON, OCT. 15.
Late from FRANCE.
Yesterday, Capt. Cowell arrived here from Bourdeaux, in 37 days.—He informs, that it had been officially announced in the Paris papers, that Admiral Nelson, with a squadron of seven frigates, had bombarded the town of Algiers, in consequence of the Dey's having imprisoned the British merchants and confiscated their property. When Capt. C. left France, no relaxation of activity had taken place in the construction of gun-boats for the expedition against England; the army destined to invade which was said to be composed of 300,000 men:—The people appeared to be much discontented with the measures that had involved them in war, but the government kept them under A POINT DE LA BAYONET. Capt. C. adds, that the French coast was lined with British cruisers; of which fifteen were said to be three deckers.
An account of a fracas between Lord Nelson and the Algerines, is received via Halifax.
From SPAIN—(Corunna.)
Capt. Nichols arrived here on Thursday in 30 days from Corunna. When he left Spain war had not commenced with England, though the merchants were in hourly expectation of the event. The British Minister had not left Spain. There were seven French and Spanish frigates in Corunna harbour and four English frigates before it. A French 74 and frigate had arrived at Corunna, from the W. Indies.
From Cape-Francois.
Capt. Muir, from the Cape, informs, that a plot had been detected there, to destroy Gen. Rochambeau and the Prefect, Gen. Clausel, and Thouvenet, of the staff, with about 40 others have been put on board a frigate; & two cooks have been hanged. Fort Dauphin was taken by storm by the brigands, the 6th ult. All the English at the Cape have been imprisoned and their property seized.
An arrival from Berbice, at Newbury-Port, mentions, that a British expedition had failed to attack Demarara, Surinam, and Berbice; but at the time of sailing, Sept. 12th, none of them had surrendered. Surinam was in a state of blockade.
We have advices from Bordeaux, stating that produce from the United States, which arrived there without certificates of its origin, is permitted to be landed and sold, on condition of exporting the amount within three months in French manufactured goods.
A decree has been issued by the Batavian republic, similar to that issued by the First Consul at Paris. It prohibits the importation into that country of British goods or such as are the produce of British colonies, under similar penalties.
A gentleman from Newport mentions, that subscriptions for two new banks, and an insurance company, have been opened in that town. One of the banks has a capital of 120,000 dols. in shares of 60 dols. An assessment of 10 per cent. on the bank, and 8 per cent. on the Insurance shares has been paid.
Dewitt Clinton, Esq. (Senator of the United States) is appointed Mayor of the city of New-York, vice Edward Livingston, Esq. resigned.
Mr. Abraham Bishop has been appointed Collector of New-Haven.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1803.
SUMMARY—FOREIGN.
NO later dates than those which we communicated to our readers in our last, have been received from Europe. At the time they came away, it appeared that the French were still continuing to prosecute with dispatch measures for an invasion of Great Britain;—and that the British were vigorously busied in preparing to meet an invader. What will prove the issue it is impossible to say; but when we have daily proofs of the disasters which have and still involve hapless Europe in innumerable evils;—when we behold in that country, bleeding humanity sink beneath the repeated strokes of calamity;—when we repair to those scenes of intestine broils which agitate Great Britain, let us inquire into their causes and consider upon their consequences. No one would with to dispute, we imagine, but what the contending powers bear their respective shares in the occasioning of the present contest; though we will allow, that the principles of some of them are more laudable than those of others. Yet may we not justly ascribe the primitive cause to the division of each nation among themselves? Allowing this Fellow-Citizens, ought we not to be zealous in avoiding that fate which has overwhelmed the far greater part of the known world? We cannot too much appreciate the blessings of our well-framed Constitution. If by a mistaken zeal of some, men are put in office who prove themselves unworthy or unqualified for their station;—with the people lies the power of remedying the same. Your taxes are few—your navigation and commerce flourish—your soil yields an abundant crop—you enjoy the rich blessings of peace; but with all this, you are fostering enmity one with another;—you are encouraging divisions at home—you are preparing (perhaps irretrievable) evils to your country and yourselves; you glory in freedom whilst you are the slaves of your passions. What seems most surprising is, that (with a few exceptions) ye are not combating for your country, but each of you take an active part in applauding one and censuring another nation. How strange and yet how true this is Americans! Put aside these dissensions; no longer be biased in your principles. We do not with you to be blind to the virtues of other nations, nor advocate the cause of a more corrupted government; but we would caution you against using either of them as weapons to stir up the nation to divisions; we would have you to be Americans—true Americans. By pursuing the conduct you have hitherto done, ye are weakening yourselves, instead of improving the advantages of your dear bought but glorious liberty. Again, by weakening yourselves ye are strengthening your enemies. Reflect on this and duly consider that you are perhaps preparing to shackle your children and posterity with chains similar to those which once held in bondage the sons of Columbia. Let this awaken you to a right sense of your national dignity and resenting insults from foreign nations, do it impartially. By union at home you will become respected by all nations and the terror and dread of your enemies, and without this you are despicable in the eyes of all even yourselves, and may again fall a victim to the oppressive hand of despots and tyrants.
From the London Gazette, August 23. At the court at St. James's August 17, 1803—present the king's most excellent majesty in council.
Whereas in the countries styling themselves the Ligurian and Italian republics, measures of hostility have been adopted against his majesty's subjects; and whereas the said countries cannot but be considered as absolutely dependent on, and under the controul of the government of France; his majesty is pleased, by and with the advice of his privy council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, that general reprisals be granted against the ships, goods and subjects of the said countries styling themselves the Ligurian and Italian republics, so that as well his majesty's fleets and ships, as also all other ships and vessels that shall be commissioned, by letters of marque or general reprisals, or otherwise, by his majesty's commissioners for executing the office of lord high admiral of Great Britain, shall, and may lawfully seize all ships, vessels and goods belonging to the persons inhabiting the countries styling themselves the Ligurian and Italian republics.
[The remainder of this order of council contains the usual directions for issuing letters of marque. The order is signed, Portland, P. Catham, Castlereagh, Hobart, Hawkesbury, C. F. Greenville, V. C.]
DOMESTIC.
Our sister States are still a prey to those fatal diseases which have numbered with the silent dead numerous multitudes of their inhabitants. From the 7th to the 10th of October inclusive, there were 48 deaths and 108 new cases in the city of New-York.—Philadelphia reports of the 4th October, state the number of new cases of the prevailing epidemic, in the last twenty-four hours to have been four and no deaths, as per statement of thirty two Physicians.—The fever still continues to exist in Alexandria; From the 5th to the 8th October inclusive, there were 17 deaths by the fever.
COPPER COINAGE.
The Treasurer of the United States has notified that Cents and half cents, to the amount of fifty thousand dollars, have been coined and paid into the Treasury; so that in pursuance of the act of Congress, no other Copper Coin is to pass after six months from the notification. If the whole of this coinage were in Cents there would be five millions of them.—As a part is in half cents, the number must be still greater. There will, therefore, be a pretty good supply for small change. And one peculiar advantage will result from the suppression of all foreign copper coins; our children and unlettered people will be practically taught, by the very coppers in their hands, our national money of account consisting of Dollars and Cents, instead of the old stile of pounds, shillings, and pence. As this simplification in the mode of computation, when generally understood and practiced, will produce an incalculable saving of time and labour, as well as a happy uniformity in the different States; every thing, which tends to facilitate so useful a reformation must be beneficial to the public. Under this impression no one ought to grudge the inconvenience of having a few old coppers left on hand, to be sold to the merchant or smith as bullion, to be manufactured, or sent to the mint and recoined. Aurora.
There are some papers published in different parts of the union which go openly into a defence of the aggressions of England against our seamen, and our ships; there are some which take up the defence of Britain without any other inducement than a supposition that there is merit in supporting every thing that resists France; there are others which engage in the British defence they know not why or wherefore, who know as much of British history, British policy, or any other policy as they know of the Titans or the Amazons; for the last we feel pity—and the former deserve what we make no doubt will fall upon them the execration and contempt of every man who wishes America totally free from all political connections with all nations—and partial to none, but as they shew themselves just to us.
The poor oppressed, bleeding people of Ireland are making one more effort to free themselves from their unwelcome guests, viz. the English lord lieutenant of Ireland with his regiments of British troops. Americans cannot too devoutly adore that providence that saved them from the fraternal embrace which those troops were (from the years '70 to '83) willing to bestow on us.
If there is any American who can with that THE BRITISH INVASION OF AMERICA had terminated in our subjugation; let that same American, with the poor Irishmen may never throw off the yoke of British protection; and that all the world by sea and land may be as tranquil as the well governed people of India.
We anxiously fear their efforts will be ineffectual. The myrmidons of tyranny are always alert and disciplined. Ireland can never rise, in the majesty of freedom. Abandoned to fate she must soon lie down in despair; and bless the arm that grinds her in the dust.
What have the poor Irish ever done to offend Britain or any other power? And why are they not entitled to independence? Their only crime is they cannot defend themselves from their protectors. The energies of despair must now serve them instead of a standing army! or they must be down forever. Bost. Gazetteer.
There are now building in France, Holland, on the Elbe and Weser, four thousand flat bottomed boats, for the purpose of the invasion of England. These boats are built on three or four different constructions, but all calculated to draw as little water as possible. There is one kind rigged into brigs, carrying from 4 to 6 guns, 18 and 24 pounders, besides a number of swivels. Another kind without any deck carrying one 18 pounder forward and another aft rigged into a lugger—and another kind with upwards of 100 feet keel, but built flat like a skiff, or batteau. These are to carry cavalry and artillery.
To "OTHELLO" a writer in the N.H. Courier.
"When a colony of Englishmen shall come over to take possession of the town of Rye; or about the time that the Jews shall be ingathered from their dispersion among all the nations of the earth to the land of their fathers," then will Othello begin to know the blessings of such a government as ours—it is then that he will acknowledge the wisdom and propriety of the measures adopted by our Rulers—it is then that he will duly estimate the purchase of Louisiana—it is then that he will rejoice at the sheathed sword and at the light of the Olive branch—it is then that he will learn the impropriety of misapplied multiplication—it is then in a word that he will become a good patriot, and consequently a good man; and until then "the sun will often forget to go down, as he lingers to behold" the depravity, meanness, perfidy and nothingness of such beings as "Othello."
The Treaty of Cession of Louisiana will of course be laid before the Senate of the United States, for their advice to the Executive as to its ratification.—Although Rofs, Morris and Mason, have retired from that branch of our national legislature, their Speeches, as well as those of the survivors of their party, delivered on that subject at the last Session, and published in a volume can be read for the edification of the opposition. It must be an entertaining scene.
THE heavy rains on Thursday last, prevented the Charity Lecture from taking place that day. On Friday however a sermon (or more properly speaking an Address) was delivered on the occasion by the Rev. Mr. BUCKMINSTER, in which he displayed great sensibility and feeling. We lament that the time was so ill suited to insure a numerous attendance, which would have heightened the interesting scene. Many, who would have come forward to contribute their mite to the support of an institution, founded upon principles of benevolence and charity, and generously and laudably supported by a number of the softer sex, have been denied that privilege by the unsuitableness of the day and especially the hour. However, to the humane and the sympathizing heart, there remains other channels thro' which they are enabled to give their support to this laudable institution. The disconsolate widow no longer beholds her fatherless children a prey to poverty and want; the sighs, which her maternal bosom heaves at the awful thoughts of the utter state of starvation into which were plunged her tender offspring, are now suppressed. How pleasing, how grateful these thoughts! How melodious, the sound of her voice, which implores benedictions from on high on those who have eased her of her agonies and pain; yet oh! how much this scene is heightened, when infant voices join their youthful lays to the general choir; but above all, how divinely sweet is the certainty that the husband of the widow, and the father of the fatherless, behold his gracious smiles upon us, and that He (the eternal, just and true God) will reward us sevenfold. Transporting thought to the good man, whose heart ever pleads for the distressed, and whose hand is ever ready to relieve their wants. Inhabitants of Portsmouth, ye have many of these good men amongst you—New-York chants your praises in exalted strains. Continue to shed abroad the benign influence of your charity—continue to do good. The world your own conscience, will applaud you and God will reward you.—The amount of the collection exceeded one hundred dollars.—The text which Mr. BUCKMINSTER chose for the subject of his discourse was contained in Psalm cxii. 5.
Last week the house and furniture of Edmund Toppan, Esq. at Dearfield, was consumed by fire. Mention is made of a fire in Bombay, which destroyed 470 houses, and property to the amount of two millions sterling.
TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.
We lament the want of room in this days Gazette, which prevents the insertion of the "Rural Loiterer."—No. 2 of "Thoughts on the Slave Trade," must also be deferred 'till our next. "Thy Friend," has been received; but we are sorry that the unconnected and confused ideas, in short the tout ensemble of said piece, renders it unfit for public appearance.

Miscellaneous Repository.
[Under the assumed name of LITTLE MOORE , (the celebrated translator of Anacreon,) has published a small volume of Poetry of the most exquisite kind. The following is a specimen of the Poet's warmth of heart and elegance of expression.]
SWEET LADY , look not thus again: Thole little pouting fumes recalc- A maid, remember'd now with pain, Who was my love, my life, my all, Oh! while this heart delicious took Sweet poison from her thrilling eye, Thus would she pout, and lip, and look; And I would hear, and gaze and sigh. Yes, I did love her—madly love— She was the dearest, best deceiver! And oft the swore she'd never rove; And I was destined to believe her. Then, Lady, do not wear the smile Of her whose smile could thus betray: Alas! I think the lovely wile Again might spell my heart away. And when the spell that stoled my mind On lips so pure as thine I see, I fear the heart which the reign'd Will err again and fly to thee.
For the N. H. GAZETTE. Thoughts on the modern warm Contro- versy respecting BAPTISM . [No. XI.]
WE may now notice a second important branch of the doctrine of the kingdom of Heaven, closely connected with the present subject. It is this; there is a clear explicit promise of salvation to a believer's house—There is a divinely established connection between the faith of a believer and the salvation of his house, even as there is between his faith and his own salvation—This connection was some way represented, when those of a man's household were healed on his faith—It was manifested in the preaching of the Gospel—When the apostles were sent forth, as heralds to proclaim the good news of the kingdom, they were directed to announce the peace of it, to the house into which they entered.—The words of the Lord himself, at the house of the chief publican Zaccheus, agree with this; and declare salvation to be then come to the house of that believing sinner. They shew also that salvation comes to the house of every son of Abraham's faith, on his believing.—When the gospel was preached to the almost despairing gaol-keeper at Philippi, it was said, "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." Peter was to tell Cornelius, words by which "he and all his house should be saved." It is difficult to conceive how a doctrine can be more clearly expressed. The converted believer and his house will be saved. To clog this with a condition, by saying they will be saved if they believe too, would be adding to God's word. And would make it void, as saying nothing of the house of a believer, more than of the house of any unbeliever in the world.—No cavil respecting the word house, can affect this truth plainly revealed for the comfort and joy of sinners, that he who believes will be saved, and his house. And with this agree the accounts of a person's believing, and of the baptism of the person, and of his or her household. Corresponding to this also is the declaration that the children of a believer are holy or saints. And so is the duty enjoined on such a parent to train them up in the knowledge of the holy scriptures, and in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, from their earliest years.—Further, no man can be chosen a church officer unless he have children in the faith, if he have children grown up—We are led to think of christian households, including the children of believers professing the faith at adult age, in the primitive churches. And yet we read not a word of any one child brought up as Timothy was, being baptized when adult, in all the apostolic age. Moreover the address to believers was, "the promise is to you and to your children"—Men may cavil at each of these things, but cannot set aside their truth, and connexion with each other. They who call loudly for express authority to be produced in support of the practice of others, should, (to be consistent,) produce some such for their own—And they who lay so much on express authority, must be inexcusable even to their own minds, if they deny the clear and repeated promise, in so many words, of salvation to a believer and his house, on his faith—His children may at adult age appear unregenerate, and he may also appear to be destitute of faith. But this affects not the promise. The children of a believer if they grow up, will in God's own time, be taught the truth, and will be saved. Who then shall make a division among visible declared subjects of salvation, receiving one and rejecting another? Who shall limit and confine baptism to some members of the one body, and deny it to others? There is a third branch of doctrine, the rejection of which forms a capital error of the Baptists. The truth I speak of, which has been already referred to, is this—The infants of believers belong to the kingdom or church of Christ. It is of the utmost importance to attend to what he taught on this head, in word and deed; as recorded in three of the gospels. Shewing the subjects it shews the nature of his kingdom, the grace of it, and how only we can stand in it. From the deeply rooted natural evil principle, that our own act must contribute to bring us into a state of favour with God, the disciples appear to have reasoned, when infants were brought to their master. Why thought they, do men bring little children, who cannot believe and follow Christ, as we do? Like one of the fathers, they would have kept them back, until they could come of themselves; come undeniably—And they rebuked those who brought them. But these had juster views of the grace of Christ's kingdom; they came persuaded that he could and would bless their infants in his kingdom—Jesus approved and ratified their faith, and did as they desired. But he with much displeasure reproved their reprovers, in those memorable words; "suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of heaven; verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little
child, shall in no wise enter therein." Thus he reproved and corrected the error of the disciples, for our instruction and warning as well as theirs—Thus it appears that infants are to be brought to Christ in faith, to be blessed; as they were then. Not now to his bodily presence as then, that is impossible to be done by men. But they are to be brought to him in his kingdom or church to which they belong. This is possible, and required by his words, to be done in faith. [To be concluded in our next.]
For the GAZETTE. THE MONITOR, No. III.
THE most zealous of Religious professors, evidence, by their practice, that they do not in their hearts believe the Gospel; and many, if not the most of them, never thought seriously of examining whether it be true or not. Men may talk, preach, and pray, with the most flaming zeal and fervour, but unless they are found laying up treasure in Heaven by the constant practice of almsgiving, and every work of kindness and love towards their fellow creatures, all is but solemn mockery and shameful imposition. The doctrine of almsgiving is of God. But we love our luffs more than our fellow creatures—How then can the love of God be in us? Laying up treasure for time to come, for sickness, against misfortunes, or for old age, militates against the doctrine of alms-giving inculcated in the scriptures, as it does against the happiness of society. We can no other way shew our love to and faith in God, but by labouring, not for sensual pleasures, worldly ease and grandeur, or to accumulate wealth, but to assist our fellow creatures, to supply the wants of the poor and needy, to relieve the afflicted, to raise up the bowed down. What doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to do justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?—But, in all our religion, mercy is wanting; and instead of labouring to help others, we oppress them. Therefore the Lord abhors our vain oblations; and his chariot wheels are on the way—He is hastening to avenge the cause of the poor and the oppressed. God hath said to us—Give and it shall be given you, good measure heaped up, pressed down, and running over—But we have not believed Him; we have despised his word, and all our hypocritical religious services are abominable and loathsome in his view. The day is just opening upon us, which will shew us our vile characters in their true light. Our soothsaying, flattering and justifying ourselves, will prove our condemnation and our shame.—How low are we fallen, that it should be necessary to admonish us not to lay up treasure on earth, but to lay it up in Heaven by those works of charity and labours of love, which become the children of the kindest, tenderest, and most beneficent of Beings. We have despised his goodness, and awful chastisement awaits us.
