American Glory and Felicity.
No. VII.
I HAVE, in some former pieces, had occasion to observe, that the federal disorganizers professed a great veneration for religion, and the scriptures, for which all wise men have a just regard, as containing a rich treasure of knowledge and salutary counsels. But how have those federalists manifested their attachment to the scriptures and religion? By lying the year round, in their weekly vehicles of scandal and defamation, and by their continual opposition to the general and state governments? The scriptures, denouncing those vices, declare that those who practice them will meet with a terrible punishment. If those men believed the scriptures, would they thus dare before the face of Heaven to brave its threatenings and terrors? If they regarded religion, would they thus act in opposition to its precepts? If religion, its doctrines, admonitions and threatenings be solemn realities, what have those hypocrites and dissemblers to expect? Had republicans conducted like them, in this respect, never would they have thus prospered. But those disorganizers and workers of mischief may now see the scriptures, for which they have professed such zeal, fulfilled and still fulfilling against themselves, which declare that the wicked shall not go unpunished, and that though they hide themselves in the top of the sea, they shall be brought down from the sea, and their memory perish from the earth.
When from our wisely formed and peaceable government, under which we enjoy a happiness unparalleled in the annals of the world, we turn our eyes to wretched and enslaved Europe, we have indeed cause to bless ourselves in the God of Heaven that our lines are fallen to us in pleasant places, that it is our lot to exist in this enlightened and reforming age, that America was destined the land of our nativity, to which from all nations, the worthy and valuable resort from oppression; where liberty reigns triumphant, and where right reason informs and influences the Citizens of every class, raising them superior to the malicious stratagems and enterprizes of an unprincipled and restless set of men, who, incapable of rational happiness themselves are actuated by an envious, and malicious rage, to destroy the happiness of others, to involve in clouds of darkness the blissful scenes of life, to render our country a bloody theatre of war, desolation and woe.
Republican Citizens—It stands us highly in lead to be sedulous and watchful that we may preserve our MOST PRECIOUS RIGHTS—ah! Never may remissness and a fatal security, so ready to grow out of political prosperity, yield advantage to our foes! Let us maintain our happy national habits, sacrificing private to public good, and thus secure our glory, our unrivalled bliss!
An opposer of our government, who writes for the Repertory, [an abusive scribler] is very apt at quoting Machiavel , in support of his attacks on representative democracy. I use the freedom to call him scribler, because he writes much, and little to the purpose—an abusive scribler, because he is very verbose in billingsgate language and the vilest slander and defamation. He seems to be pretty well calculated to assist his brethren of the prostituted quill, in the infamous business of imposing on the ignorant, and enlisting the unscrupulous, and the foolish, under the banners of a party newly formed for the inglorious purpose of separating the states, and to exalt over all the men of steady habits, friends of order, and exclusively religious. And though the anfraudulent schemes of these plodding geni, are unavailed and counteracted, they persist out of spite and ill-nature; while the baseness of their proceedings daily weakens their cause and diminishes their number. This scribler in politics introduces his favourite Machiavel asserting, that "no scheme of government concentrates power in so few hands as a democracy." He then adds, by way of illustrating and applying his quotation, "the many indeed are amused with the notion that they rule. They have a farce acted over very often, in which they seem to rule. But while the shadow of power is yielded to them," [this is for the right of suffrage, and the responsibility of their officers to them, the electors] the substance, is kept by the artful leaders for themselves. "It is impossible, [continues he,] that the rabble should actually rule, but their vanity is extremely gratified in the pantomime shew of sovereignty, while the demagogues usurp every prerogative of power, and push it in the name of the people, to every extremity of outrage and abuse." Thus this sage head conceives it has fully exposed the idea of the people's ruling in the officers and the representatives of their own choice, and whom they have elected from a proper knowledge of their characters and abilities. Machiavel's remark, as to democratical governments, like that of Greece , may be allowed to be just, in which the leading men, imposing upon the multitude, were alternately raised and depressed, in their mutual conflicts for power, till a superior tyrant engrossed all power to himself. But the wide difference between such democracies, and the government of the United States, has been sufficiently evidenced both in theory and practice. This the writer would feign conceal from our view, though he cannot but be himself sensible of the difference, notwithstanding his pretended mighty zeal in warning us against democracy. But it is the sovereignty of the people that he militates against and is vexed with labouring, through his abusive page to make us believe it to be a mere sham to impose upon us the sovereignty of an oligarchy. He hates a representative government, because it exalts the people to that respectable situation to which they are enlisted by their nature as rational beings, capable of thinking for themselves and judging of their own interests. The federalists cannot but be sensible; that a very eminent distinction subsists between the people of the United States, as to manners, knowledge, and experience, and those of Europe, where government is made a great mystery in the eyes of the passive deluded nations, and tyranny and oppression prevent those improvements of the understanding, for which Americans are distinguished from all the nations of the earth. This sage prophetic writer attempts to frighten farmers and men of estates, with the terrible prospect of their being despoiled of their lands and wealth by the prevalence of Jacobinism , meaning republicanism and "it is in vain, he says, that we have warnings" [from these watchmen of our Israel,] "inasmuch

as three years experience shews we will not take them."—But our farmers and men of interest, know, by faithful experience, their security and happiness under the present government and administration, and likewise have the felicity to behold genius learning and eloquence" already "combined to flash light and fire from the press, and the Congress Hall," and this writer & his fellows are tortured by the burning flame, & the splendor of the light every where diffused from the press and from the assembly of the nation. The fire of republican eloquence and the light of republican truth, gives them intolerable pain, and they rage in vexation, distraction and despair.—Republicans may justly rejoice over them; for the hour of their judgement is come, and they are receiving the reward of their deeds. Thus it becomes truth to take vengeance on its implacable foes. It would be happy for some of them, might the disappointments, chagrin and punishment they endure, have a regenerating effect.—The factious federalists are so blinded by their self importance, [the last thing they can part with,] that they discern not the pitiful figure they make in the eyes of an enlightened world otherwise they would loathe and abhor themselves, & repent in dust and ashes. The friends of freedom of all countries, enjoy the sublimest satisfaction in contemplating the happiness of Americans, the rapid progress of truth among the nations, and the hastening total desolation of the old systems of government. Americans may boast the golden age is returned," or rather, that a new creation rises out of the old, in which the sovereign of the universe will make the grandest displays of his wisdom and goodness. The scenes of past ages were but darkness and horrid gloom, compared with those of the present; excepting a few gleams of light darted here and there, in different periods, as earnest of the bright resurgent day which now opens to our view. The faithful lovers of virtue and liberty now arise and shine, and the friends of God and mankind greatly rejoice!—The intentional plunderers of the American people of their rights and interests, whose aim has been to dissolve our union, and by a new plot which the all-discerning republican eye has searched out and brought to light, may now condole together on their disappointments. The newly plotting schemes were small in their beginnings, a little band of bold adventurers, sanguine in hope of swelling out to an enormous bulk, which by its ponderous weight was to crush liberty in irrecoverable ruin. But their snare are broken. HEAVEN smiles with complacency on a favoured people, and inspires them with discernment and energy to defeat every black design of their enemies, that its own glorious purposes in their behalf, and for the regeneration of the world, may be completely accomplished.
HONORIUS.
* The Citizens who are conversant in political science, and conduct the public affairs by the appointment of the people, do make a free communication to them both of their knowledge and their proceedings; they do not conceal either, making a mystery of government for the purposes of deception and imposition; if they did, they would be justly stigmatized as tyrants. They act in concert with the people, and render to them a fair account of their transactions, and receive their approbation, or their disapprobation and correction. There is no concealment or duplicity. All is fair and open to the view of all; and the benefits of every measure are experienced and enjoyed by all. Such is the government and administration which this writer is impiously vilifying, and which he and his accomplices have been labouring incessantly to subvert.
From the MEDICAL REPOSITORY.
ILLUSTRATION OF THE SPOILING OF BEEF, PORK, and BUTTER, when cured with LIVERPOOL SALT; and of the Fever excited thereby, as those corrupting Articles act directly upon the Stomach and Intestines, and thro' the Medium of the Atmosphere upon other parts of the body, in private houses, in Ships, and in cities. In a Letter from Dr. MITCHELL to CHARLES CALDWELL, M. D. &c. dated Washington, Oct. 22, 1803.
THERE is another evil, however, which ought to be mentioned; that is, the disorders of the stomach and intestines induced by eating semi-septic beef and pork. It is well known to each master of an house, as well as to every master of a ship, that sometimes their salted provisions become tainted or partially spoiled. The expediency or necessity of the case obliges the family or crew to subsist upon this unwholesome and unhealthy food. Dysenteries, fluxes, scurveys, and similar ailments, are the natural incidents to this kind of diet. Sometimes, among the customers of a country-store keeper, the excess of the sales of his British salt can be traced in the region around, by the offensive and disgusting condition of their meat-stalls, and the prevalence of bloody fluxes, and other intestinal disorders, in those who draw their subsistence thence.
And yet people go on to buy and consume it, as if the preservation of their meat and of their health was a matter of no moment whatever. Surely the consumers of salt ought to be upon their guard against such imppositions. They ought not to purchase
or in any wise to use Liverpool salt. Then the country traders would not carry it from the sea-ports: nor then would the merchants import it, or receive it on consignment from the land of its manufacture; a land whose inhabitants being too wise to use it themselves for putting up beef and pork for long keeping or exportation, or to employ it in the provisions either of their navy or army, send it away, as fast as they can export it, to be consumed by the people of the United States. It is not made to preserve meat, but to sell.
The loss of property, health and life, which results from the vitiated and corrupt state of our beef, whether consumed at home, or exported to foreign parts, is likewise consequent upon the use of Liverpool salt, or other British boiled salt to pickle our pork. But as pork, from its nature is less prone to corrupt and emit venomous gases than beef is, and is brought in smaller quantities to market, there is proportionally less damage sustained from its putrefaction, and less injury by its exhalation. But pork as well as beef suffers all that it can suffer in deterioration from the weak and adulterated material wherewith it is salted. And thus the vessels in the West-India trade grow foul and sickly. Their crews contract yellow fevers from the caules existing within themselves. And then the blame is cast upon foreign dominions.
The butter of the New-York market has also been rendered worse, if not absolutely spoiled, by the same kind of salt. Begoiled by its fine and showy exterior, the citizens have used it extensively in our counties famous for grazing and dairies. In many cases it has supplanted the old-fashioned coarse or sun made salt. Wherever this substitution has been made, it has been with a pernicious effect. The butter so salted does not keep so well, looses its agreeable flavour, and acquires a disagreeable scent. It is less prized by those who are nice in selecting this important article of house-keeping, and it consequently brings a lower price to the person who makes it. Thus agricultural industry is deprived of a part of its reward. And thus will probably continue until the butter-makers discontinue altogether this very unwholesome and unsafe material. The difference between the two kinds of salt, and with natural crystallized salt, is so great that our wholesale and retail grocers can distinguish it at once by the smell, on piercing or opening a firkin. The sweet flavour and nice odour which pure salt gives, is altogether wanting in that which is seasoned with the other.
And thus, 2. Liverpool salt is the remote agent of so much loss, damage and misery in the United States, it is high time to cease both to buy and consume it. In its stead, salt from the Bay of Biscay, Portugal, Isle of May, or the Bahamas, may be employed with perfect safety. The preferableness of these will be discovered by a little experience; and further observation and trial will determine which is the best among them for particular uses.
Having thus far detailed the matters of fact, I must recite a few more things of the same kind before this examination is closed. The British philosophers have long known the disposition of their salt to promote putrefaction. It has even been published to the world half a century ago. In their own country their experiments and admonitions have had the desired effect. They have warned their own people not to trust it for any other than culinary and extemporaneous use. The experiments of Sir John Pringle, were decisive on this point. They have been confirmed since by Dr. Percival, an inhabitant of Manchester, in his experiments upon their common salt, (carried, of course, directly from the shores of the Mersey, or from Liverpool,) which, in small quantities, does not prevent the corruption of animal flesh, but, on the other hand, promote it. (Percival's Essays, vol. 1, page 346) And these facts no one has pretended to dispute.
And yet, after all these experiments, plain and instructive as they are, made at home, and all the facts, cogent and conclusive as they are, abroad, the citizens of the United States are, to this day purchasing and consuming this baleful article of commerce; while, if they judged rightly, they would reject it in all their dealings.
Dr. Percival has preserved an anecdote on this subject, which is worthy of being known more generally. He says that Sir J. Pringle told him that he had long believed the septic quality of sea-salt, as employed in his experiments, was owing to "some heterogeneous substance blended with the article," and not to any putrefactive quality in the mere muriate of soda, or pure sea-salt itself. Doubtless the noble baronet was right; and Dr. Percival has borne ample testimony to the truth of his opinion.
The fault of Liverpool salt, and of all other salt obtained from sea-water by the force of fire, or by boiling, is its admixture with foreign ingredients, known by the technical names of slack and bitter. These usually adhere to the salt in considerable quantities. They have no antiseptic virtues, but possess a directly contrary effect. Hence their bad quality, and the bad quality of salt impregnated by them, can be readily accounted for. Sea-salt, formed by natural evaporation and crystallization, has very little mixture with these foul and foreign ingredients. It is therefore more pure, more antiseptic, and more useful for all manner of economical purposes.
To preserve animal flesh in the most perfect manner for the food of man, in private families, in armies, in navies, and in foreign parts to which these sorts of provisions are exported, the salt, if not pure originally, ought to undergo a PROCESS OF PURIFICATION. The best mode of doing this, and an excellent chapter on the economy of salt, may be seen in "Bordley's Notes on Husbandry and Rural Affairs," to which I beg leave to refer you for a variety of important and valuable information on this subject. (See the review of this instructive work in Med. Rep. Hexade 1, vol. iii, 276.)
Knowing well your correctness of thinking and acting on the great question of our pestilential disorders, I have no doubt of your support, when I entreat you to assist me in putting our fellow-citizens on their guard against the extensive and fatal evil of employing English salt to preserve any kind of flesh or fish from putrefaction. The manner in which pure muriate of soda acts in slaying corruption, I formerly explained in a paper addressed to Professor Wood-
house, (Med. Rep. Hex. 1, vol. ii, p. 271) but this Liverpool salt is so impure that it does not square with that theory, but stands in opposition to it and by its diversity, indeed, confirms it. In discussing a subject so complicated and abstruse as that of our annual epidemics, it is not amatter of surprise that they who have little industry and small capacities should fall into the belief of their being contagious, and of foreign derivation. Some of them will carry this error with them to their graves, but the majority, especially of the rarer race, will take the right impressions without any difficulty, and continue to reason and to conduct properly all their days. (Concluded)
The following ADDRESS was delivered by an old veteran of the revolution, in the state of Pennsylvania, at a celebration, 12th May, on the acquisition of Louisiana.
Friends and fellow citizens.—We have met this day to celebrate the glorious acquisition of Louisiana by the United States, thro' the wisdom and early sagacity of a government and administrators of government of our own choice. O how glorious the reflection! a measure solely resulting from the propriety of our own free and voluntary choice—and in what manner?—in a manner in which no country of similar extent was ever obtained in the annals of the world—and what a country, inferior to none as to soil, climate, and productions, abounding in fertility and capable of producing all that is delicious or useful to man; extending as far north as Vermont and as far south as the sugar islands of the West Indies—as large or larger than the United States; watered by one of the most magnificent of rivers, to which a thousand other rivers are tributary, superior themselves to the most celebrated rivers of the old world. We celebrate the acquisition of this new world this day, with the proud satisfaction of republicans, conscious of the humane principles of our government, with the grateful feelings of men exulting in the happiness of their country, and glorying in a conquest in which not one life—not a single drop of blood has been shed; more grateful still when we look back to the efforts, which have been employed to involve us in war, preferable to negotiation. It has been a custom from almost the beginning of time, when nations were at war, to celebrate their victories, even after thousands of their fellow mortals had fallen in the conflict. With how much more reason may we rejoice, who have gained a bloodless victory—where neither a foe nor a friend has perished by the sword—when neither wife nor orphan, nor parent has to lament a protector or a comforter.
Let us lift up our eyes and unfold our hearts to heaven, and express our gratitude to that good being by whose singular blessings the United States are thus most favored and blessed, while the nations of the old world are drenched with blood at the will or the caprice of despotic or ambitious rulers.
It is not to riot not to debauch that we are here assembled, but like the patriarchs of old, while partaking of the bounties of nature, which are hospitably spread before us, we may call to mind the cause of our assembling, and interchange the emotions of gladness and of joy with each other. For some few years back we were like the children of Israel wandering thro' untroubled and dangerous paths, led by false guides to whom our fate and fortune had been unhappily committed. We saw the error, and chose new leaders, and behold we have gained the promised land—liberty, security, peace and plenty are our enjoyments—and we have provided for our posterity a rich inheritance which will be as durable as their own virtues—we see agriculture progressing with commerce, and each depositing their riches in flourishing improvements of our cities, villas & public roads; our flag visiting every part of the earth, and our government respected by governments which hate each other, the benign spirit of religious toleration diffusing and extending influence, without terror, or inquisition; and the savages of the wilderness reclaimed and converted to civil society.
Turn round to the state of political parties—republicanism reigns with the mildness of religious charity—and the most violent of the formerly violent federal party convinced of their error and flying to the standard of the principles of 1776: that standard under which we rallied and fought determined to be free or die, and which we again rallied in 1799—by which we must rally again should we be endangered, and dare still to be free. The sacred flame is not extinct, though many of the brave are numbered with the dead; the rising generation will possess a greater portion of freedom and good fortune than any other nation has before possessed—and the event which we are now celebrating secures it from foreign interference. O may the blessings we enjoy be for ever cherished;—may our country be never betrayed by the indifference or the vices, by credulity, or by the artifices of open enemies or feigned friends—but may the people always think the
purchase of watchfulness cheap for the blessings of security against the calm of despotism—in which virtue has no value, and where the will or the gratification of one man is the only business of a nation.

The prompt interposition of the First Consul and Emperor of Russia to aid the liberation of our captive citizens at Tripoli, is an evidence of the friendly relations subsisting between those governments and our own, that will be only fully appreciated by those who from reflection or experience are acquainted with the difficulty of remaining on good terms with those who from rival interests, imaginary or real, are generally at variance with each other. In the accuracy of this statement we have every reason to confide from the concurring representation of letters received from abroad, as well as from other sources of information. It is the undoubted interest of the United States to be just in her dealings with all nations: and from many recent indications we have reason to felicitate ourselves on the growing conviction entertained by the powers of Europe that it is likewise their interest to be just to us. It must be a source of peculiar gratification to the friends of our republican institutions to find the most sanguine predictions ever made in the closet fully realized. The peace and prosperity of a nation never stood on a firmer basis than they do at present in the United States.—This is undoubtedly in the highest degree owing to the virtues and intelligence of our Citizens, but next to them we are indebted to our Rulers for the faithful discharge of their duty. The whole aspect of our foreign relations demonstrate the falsehood of the dogma that Republics are deficient in energy in their intercourse with foreign powers. We have often said, and we profit of this occasion to repeat it—a Republican Government, in the upright discharge of duties delegated by a wise constitution, is the most energetic of all governments.
We were told long ago, that the states would go to ruin upon the ascendency of the republican interest,—these predictions are now renewed—the corn continues to grow—and Philadelphia has imported more this year than in any other since she has existed—Philadelphia has increased a third in five years—the state a fifth in population in about eight years—more than three hundred villas and places of retirement during the summer months grace the surrounding country where wild woods presented their gloomy dignity—How we are ruined! O how we are ruined!
IMPORTANT.
PHILADELPHIA, MAY 16.—BY the polite letters of Capt. Calvert, of the ship Maria, arrived last night from Cadiz; we are favoured with a copy of the following important letter from Commodore Preble to John Gavino, Esq. our Consul.
UNITED STATES FRIGATE CONSTITUTION, SYRACUSE HARBOUR, FEB 7. John Gavino, Esq. Consul of the United States.
DEAR SIR, I have the pleasure to announce to you the pleasing intelligence of the capture and destruction of the Tripolian frigate of 40 guns, late the United States frigate Philadelphia, by the United States ketch Intrepid of 4 guns and 70 men, commanded by Captain Decatur of the Enterprise, who volunteered his services on the occasion. It is to be regretted that she was so situated, that it was impossible to have brought her out.
On the night of the 3d January, the brig Syren, Capt. Stuart and ketch Intrepid of 4 guns, fitted for the purpose and commanded by Capt. Decatur, with seventy volunteers, from the squadron, failed for Tripoli, with orders to burn the frigate in that harbour—They this day returned, having executed my orders much to my satisfaction.
On the night of the 16th ult. Capt. Decatur, entered the harbour of Tripoli, with the ketch, laid her along side the frigate, and in a gallant and officer-like manner, boarded and carried her against all opposition. After gaining complete possession, he proceeded to fire her with success, and left her in a blaze, in which she continued until she was consumed. He had none killed and only one wounded. The Tripolians had between 20 and 30 men killed on deck—One large boat load made their escape, some ran below and perished in the flames; but the greater part jumped overboard.—She was moored close to the Batteries, with all her guns loaded and two of their corsairs full of men, lay within half musket shot of her.—A fire was kept upon the Ketch by the Batteries, Bishaw's Castle and Corsairs—Not a musket or pistol was fired by our men, every thing was settled by the sword.
The Syren anchored without the harbour to cover the retreat of the Ketch, and sent her boats to assist, but unfortunately they did not arrive in season, as the business was accomplished, and the Ketch on her way out, before the boats met her. Had they got in sooner, it is probable some of the Tripolian Corsairs would have shared the fate of the frigate.
Very respectfully, I am, Dear Sir, Your obedient servant. EDWARD PREBLE.
Captain Calvert, informs, that a demagog had been made of the Tripolian Government, by the Emperor of Russia, for the enlargement of the crew of the Philadelphia frigate.
For the N. H. GAZETTE. A plain, homespun ADDRESS, to the leading federalists in New-Hampshire and elsewhere—by their dear good friend, BOB M'DUFF.
CANTO I.
MY Lords & Gentlemen, accept the lay, Which, in a homely garb, I proffer to ye; Had I a better dress, or better way, Or, cou'd I in a light more royal view ye— With all my might I'd pour the strain along, And swear allegiance in the power of song. Pray do not think me of that 'twiinsish crew,' Who bawl for Liberty, detested thing! No, no, my lords, I'm more like you, I want a KING. It grieves me to the heart, sometimes to hear The 'twiinsish multitude' set up their cry For Liberty and Law; while without fear They swear they will not bow to majesty: Had you the reins of government, I know, That things would not be so. How did your highnesses, in seventy-five, When rebel banners in our land were flying; I say, how did your Graces strive, To keep the cause of Monarchy from dying? That glorious cause, for which we now contend, And ever have, and will 'ill life shall end. Well I remember how your passions rose, When that sad instrument, the Declaration Of Independence, gave unto your foes A chance for freedom—to become a nation: How did you curse the author, JEFFERSON And all his grumbling party, one by one! How persevering too have you remain'd, In the most glorious cause you then maintain'd— How did you in great George's administration Keep up the 'tory party in the nation!' Great things may be achiev'd by perseverance, We know not what may happen some few years hence. Here let me pause—and drop a loyal tear! How are the mighty fallen, on Quincy's height! That name, to every loyal subject dear, Which democrats were taught, by law, to fear, And which I speak of now, with some delight. Oh, had we been but some few thousand stronger, We might have had his reign some four years longer. But who could stand before the mouth of slander? Alas! not royal JOHN, nor princely ALEXANDER! High praise, my noble Lords, is due To such as YOU, For condescending to instruct the nation, That 'too much freedom is a dangerous thing,' And that we ought to have a KING, And NOBLES of exalted station. Nobility! thou pleasing, charming found! How dost thou lift me 'bove the 'common herd'— I'm 'in a hole,' where I can look around, And 'answer to the people' not a word. If they complain, I care not for their cries, 'The people are their own worst enemies.' A KING we ought to have, and we will have him— Maugre the democratic rage and hate; I see him crown'd, and hear you cry God save him— Much better than to cry 'God save the state.' But how shall we the precious treasure gain, As a reward for all our toil and pain? I'll tell ye—at the next election Let all the 'friends to order' join as one, And turn out that rank demo, JEFFERSON, And that will do the business to perfection. But then perhaps you'll say 'the people' love him, And that 'it is not easy to remove him;' Perhaps 'tis not, but then we ought to try, Nor leave the 'cause of truth' alone to die. Have you forgot the pretty little arts, And sly intrigues, of which you once cou'd boast? Those pretty scare-crews, brought from foreign parts, From good old mother England's happy coast Which Portopine and his most loyal crew, To awe the 'common herd' bellow'd on you? An 'alien art,' and a 'feudition law,' Were pretty things to bring about our ends, That is, to keep the democrats in awe, To help ourselves and honorable friends; To share among ourselves the 'loaves and fishes,' And leave the 'plebians' to scrape the dishes. The 'stamp act' and excise,' those glorious things, Hatch'd in Great-Britain, by 'the best of kings,' From thence imported, with a land tax too, The honor of all which, belongs to you— That is, my Lords, for being such faithful drudges. Some hundreds of you were appointed judges. 'A standing army!' there the honor lies! O H—m—ton, the great, the good, the wife! How did king JOHN delight to honor thee! To thee we owe the honor of th' invention, And had success but answer'd thy intention, We might have gag'd the mouth of Liberty; That is, we might have brought the people under, And that they did not sooner find us out, And make a most infernal rout, It was a wonder. My Lords, I here would make a few reflections, And then again be under your directions.— How sweetly my minutes declin'd, When under J—N A—MS' reign; Bright prospects illumi'd my mind, Unclouded by sorrow and pain. I felt myself noble and great, And look'd on the poor with disdain; Begrudging the bread which they ate, But all my begrudging was vain! 'How oft have I rovd o'er the lawn, Content play'd in smiles on my brow; I rose with the Lark on each morn, All-nature seems chang'd to me now! 'Ah had o'er the meadows I stray, And perfuse I sigh to the breeze; For sorrow has clouded my day, And robd this torn bosom of ease!' Forlorn and unnotic'd I live, No office of profit or glory; No honor will JEFFERSON give To me, all because I'm a tory! A time there was once, when to be A tory, was thought no disgrace; The times are now alter'd—ah, me! For now I am put out of place. Thus I've indulg'd, my Lords, a plain-tive strain, But in my next I'll be with you again,

Portsmouth.
TUESDAY, MAR 29, 1804.
SUMMARY—FOREIGN.
PAPERS from England to the evening on the 12th ult. have been received. They continue to give further particulars respecting the conspiracy in France. The Toulon fleet was still in port;—the report of Buonaparte's having demanded of Denmark the exclusion of British ships from the Baltic and Danish ports, is revived;—it is said that the French are about to evacuate Hanover;—a conspiracy of the French, at Malta, against the English, has been discovered, and the ring-leaders secured;—dispatches were received in London, from the continent, which are reported to contain a declaration of Buonaparte, to the Russian Court, stating "that in case any Russian troops from the Baltic should land at Macklenburg, Holstein, or any where else upon the German Continent, the French troops would immediately occupy the Hanover towns; and if any Russian troops from the black sea should attempt to land on the Italian continent, French troops would occupy, not only the city of Naples, but every seaport in that kingdom." Several Americans have been taken up in France, and imprisoned;—intelligence of a general massacre of the white inhabitants at Cape Francois has been received;—Martinique is no longer considered in a state of blockade by the English;—the Isle of Goree, lately taken by the French, has been retaken by the British frigate Inconstant, Capt. Dickson, on the 9th March, and a garrison of 350 men left to defend the place;—the fortune of war in Ceylon has changed in favour of the British;—A French and Dutch expedition are reported to have proceeded against Ceylon.
During the year 1803, in the Russian Empire were born 690,385 male children, and 613,486 girls; 688,374 persons of both sexes died during the same year, and the births exceed therefore the deaths by 615,497; 299,037 marriages were concluded. Among the deaths are mentioned, 2089 individuals between 90 and 95; 1168 between 95 and 100; 350 between 100 and 105; 66 between 105 and 110; 28 between 110 and 115; 13 between 115 and 120; 7 between 120 and 125; 4 between 125 and 130; and 1 near 140 years of age.
GEN. MOREAU RELEASED.
Extract of a letter from New-York, dated 15th inst. "The Saphrona has just arrived from Bourdeaux. The Captain left town the 26th March, and I understand brings the information that Gen. Moreau was released. The letters are not yet landed, and I can obtain no further accounts."
DOMESTIC.
GEN. WILKINSON has arrived at New-York from N. Orleans;—The Methodist's conference was held at Baltimore, on the 7th inst. 107 ministers were present on the occasion.—The Legislatures of Tennessee, Georgia and South-Carolina, will be assembled in the month of June.—The inhabitants of Boston, have at length come to a determination of filling up the Mill-Pond; which may, instead of a nuisance, furnish ground for the most valuable purposes, and admit advantageous canals.—A proposal is suggested in a Boston paper, for the construction of a Bridge from Wheeler's point to south Boston. It is to display a magnificent royal arch, elevated 65 feet above the water.—The Newburyport "Female Charitable Society," have had a meeting, and 202 dollars, collected for the Institution. The number of orphans at present under the care of this society, is seven.—An American ship with 400 French troops on board, from Cuba, has arrived in Hampton Roads, in distress.—One of the Quarter-Masters of the Philadelphia, has obtained his freedom, for giving the Bashaw information that the ship was scuttled, and in fact, every thing he knew would be useful to the Bashaw.—Elisha Plumb, a boy, 14 years of age, hunting in the woods at Halifax, (Ver.) was induced from the barking of his dog at some distance to see what was the matter; and under some large trees, discovered something black, which proved to be a large she bear. He lodged the contents of his gun in its head, which proved fatal. There were two smaller ones in the hole, which he also dispatched. "This may be called heroism in a boy."
Jonathan Laskey of Lee, in a fit of insanity, last week, so feverly cut a son of his with an axe, that he expired in a few minutes; the boy was about 7 years old. Laskey was since committed to Dover goal.
Post-Office.—Mr. David George, jr. is appointed Postmaster for Concord, in the place of Charles Walker, Esq. resigned.
To prevent all birds, squirrels, and wire worms from destroying Corn when coming up.
Put half a bushel seed corn in a large iron kettle, turn on it half a pint of tar, or as much as the corn will take up warmed, stir it till every corn is covered over with tar, then strew over it as much lime, or ashes, as will stick to the corn when well stirred together, all to be done while the tar is warm. I have tried the above experiment two years, and find it to answer the above purpose.
EBEN. DEMERET. Madbury, May, 1804.
WEST INDIES.
Capt. Gibes, from Turk's Island, informs, that intelligence had been received there from Cape-Francois, stating, that on the 20th April, every French man, woman, and child, found in the place, were put to death;—that during this time business was wholly suspended; but that on the 30th, it was expected the Americans would speedily recommence business.
The Sybille & Didon French frigates, have arrived at Guadaloupe, from France, with troops; 400 of whom have been sent to reinforce Martinico, which have arrived.
At the last dates [April 30] the blockade was raised;—the squadron, &c. having, it was supposed, gone on the expedition against the Dutch settlements.
Mr. Brazier in his spirited Address at Worcester, 12th May inst. in commemoration of the cession of Louisiana, towards the close, with strength, and in a most happy manner thus addresses the Republicans. "Republicans! you, who decided and undeviating, have adhered to the principles of our glorious Revolution! Disciples of Freedom! who endured the oppressions of Tories and Pharisees, for her sake, witnessed her Crucifixion, watch at her Sepulchre, and await her Resurrection; suffer not your success and your triumph to lull your watchfulness, or to paralyze your energies. Never had a cause, nobler inducements to offer—never had a cause better, or more brilliant prospects. Already it shines with full orb'd splendour, on the mountains of Hampshire. Already has it 'tipped with its rising beams' the hundred hills of Massachusetts! Soon may every portion of our Fellow Citizens and our fellow men bask in its meridian rays!"

FOR THE GAZETTE. ON THE DEATH OF THE REV. SAMUEL M'CLINTOCK: (BY A FRIEND.)
Revered, lamented shade, of passing worth, How many a light for thee must now burn forth— Thy slaughtered sons in freedom's cause lie dead— With them you now repose your Reverend head— When the fell tyrant stalked o'er your loved land, Your blest example filled the hallowed band. Go forth my sons! arrest the deadly foe! They went and met the fatal, deadly fatal blow! Then INDEPENDENCE cheer'd thy droop- ing heart, Softened the agony and eas'd the smart— Thy patriot foul with LIBERTY inspir'd, A religion felt a spirit fir'd— Illam'd with pure religion's fixed light, That heavenly gift which leads our fainter light Steady by hope to view the joyous day When freedom's banners might in peace display. But ah! in conflict nations stir the earth— Columbia shakes where Liberty took birth. A fearful gloom succeer'd, and thorns ensue, Ferocious spirits would our land embrue In civil broil, in carnage, war and blood, With liberty's bright host you bravely stood! The fierce malignity of foes you shar'd, Among her suffering sons you nobly dar'd! 'T' oppose your virtuous strength and stem the tide Of bitter persecution, lawless pride! A brighter dawn breaks forth with splendid ray! The placid evening crowns your ancient day, Peace with all nations you have liv'd to see Your friends made happy and your country free. Peace to my soul! he speaks without a sigh, In heavenly peace I now repose and die.—
