REPUBLICAN JUBILEE.
FROM THE NATIONAL AEGIS.
The Fourth of March—Has become a glorious ERA, in the annals of our Country! If it did not, like the FOURTH OF JULY , give existence to a NATION, it yet renovated the declining spirit of FREEDOM, and rescued a NATION from impending destruction. It appalled the enemies of our Constitution; it paralyzed their efforts, to sap the foundation of our liberties; it demolished their air-built fabric of hereditary glory; it arrested the wild career of profligacy and corruption; it checked the shameful aggressions of executive power, and proclaimed to the daring spirit of usurpation, "Thus far shalt thou go, and no farther!"
The return of this anniversary has been hailed with enthusiasm by the Republicans of our Country. In this town the day was welcomed by "all true Republicans," with the most lively testimonials of joy; while
Federalism retired; with a heavy and sullen gloom, from the scene, clothed herself in sackcloth and ashes! The sun rose with more than its usual splendor on the day—its first appearance above the Horizon, was announced by a discharge of Seventeen Guns , followed by a peal from the several Bells in Town.
At eleven o'clock, a numerous company from this and the adjacent towns, assembled at Major Mowatt's Hall, and, at twelve, a procession, consisting of more than TWO HUNDRED, was escorted to the South-Meeting-House , by the Worcester Company of Artillery , commanded by Capt. HEATY. The procession was ushered into the Meeting-House with an appropriate march; after which the performances were introduced, with the Song of " Hail Columbia ," varied for the occasion.—An Address, spirited, elegant, and perfectly appropriate, was pronounced, to a crowded assembly, in a style of superior elocution; by LEVI LINCOLN , junior, A B.—It was received with such unequivocal testimonials of approbation, as evinced a cordial concurrence of opinion, and a perfect sympathy of feeling, between the Orator and his audience.—Every countenance beamed with expressions of applause; every hand gave its sanction to the sentiments he uttered!
The address was followed by a PATRIOTIC ODE , (for which see last page of this days Paper) written for the occasion by WILLIAM C. WHITE , Esq. This performance is delivered over to the fiery ordeal of Federal criticism. As an animated, correct, and truly poetical composition, we challenge a comparison between the PATRIOTIC ODE , of Mr. White, and the most finished specimen of Federal Poetry.
The company, on their return to the Hall, partook of an elegant Dinner. The Room which hitherto accommodated all the guests, who have assembled for the celebration of Independence, was not sufficient for the purpose of THIS DAY.—A division of the company was therefore necessary, and the inhabitants of Worcester cheerfully yielded to the accommodation of their Republican friends from the neighbouring towns.
After dinner, the principles and feelings of all who joined in the celebration, were expressed, with an unprecedented harmony and animation, in the following patriotic Toasts; accompanied with a discharge of Cannon.
1. The Day.—Which hailed our return to the principles from which we were once departing, and established the People—
"Free, sovereign, and independent."
2. The People of the United States.—God made them to be free, and it is beyond the power of man to enslave them!
3. The Constitution of the United States.—May it always remain a Democracy; and our enemies forever reproach us as Democrats!
4. the President—His "path of duty is plain as a ray of light before him"—and the clouds of faction have neither darkened his progress, nor eclipsed his glory!— [SEVENTEEN GUNS. Nine cheers; Song; JEFFERSON and LIBERTY.]
5. The United States and Congress.—Remembering the advice of WASHINGTON , let us "frown indignantly upon the first dawning of every attempt, to alienate any portion of our country from the rest."
6. The Heads of Departments.—Firmness and integrity in the concerns of the Cabinet—Skill and economy in the management of the Treasury—Prudence and foresight in the regulations of the Army, with vigilance and assiduity for the preservation of our Navy.
7. The Judiciary System.—Restored to its primitive order, may it never again be deformed by the midnight creation of Judges with no other duty, than to oppose the government and receive their salaries.
8. The Militia—"Our best security in peace; our firmest reliance in the first moments of war."
9. The Governor and Commonwealth of Massachusetts—Content with freedom of suffrage—let the choice of the majority be ours.
10. Virginia.—The State of WASHINGTON , JEFFERSON and MADISON , may all Americans be Republicans, and all Republicans superior to little local prejudices!
11. The Clergy.—If the teachers of Piety and Morality, they have a claim to our respect; If the tools of a faction, they reap their reward in contempt of the People!
12. The American fair.—If they choose an elective Monarchy, we esteem them the more—May they always obtain the Monarch of their choice, and find the Government efficient, yet mild.
13. The Press—Like the lightning of Heaven, may its flashes be regulated by the conductors of truth, while they melt away the chains of slavery, and rend asunder the battlements of Tyrants!
14. The Plough.—The emblem of our riches, the instrument of our individual happiness, and the pledge of our National Glory.
15. Our Mechanics and Manufacturers. On the invention and industry of our own Citizens, let us rely for the comforts and conveniences of Life.
16. The Flame of '75.—It has twice consumed, "like a thread of tow," the "green withers" which the Philistines had prepared to bind upon us; and may it be kept alive like the sacred fire, in the temple of our Freedom.
17. The government is our own, and it is our duty to encourage our officers, in its legal administration.
VOLUNTEERS. By Maj. Andrews—Our much esteemed young Friend and Patriot—the ORATOR of the Day.
By Col. Benjamin Flagg,—The firm and virtuous minority of the Sixth Congress!
By Mr. Blake—Our Envoy Extraordinary— JAMES MONROE —For his past services, he has been rewarded with calumny.—For his future exertions, may he find his reward in the success of his mission, and the continued prosperity of his Country!
By Col. Samuel Flagg,—The Attorney General of the United States.—Those who now pretend to doubt his virtues and talents, were lately prompt in their acknowledgment of both.—We can remember, and he is not changed!
By Mr. Willson.—The brave, though unfortunate, KOSCIUSKO —Who, glowing with the sacred flame of Liberty, imbibed from the Heroes of '75, nobly struggled to restore to his ill-fated Country, those principles, under whose benign influence we this day rejoice.
By Mr. Bangs—The new star of Ohio,—Emancipated from "the wild mixture of madmen and intoxication," may she find her energy encreased, by encreasing the energies of the Union!
By the Orator,—Our political opponents,— "The foul and body rive not more in parting."
"I have greatness going off." By Mr. William White— ELBRIDGE GERRY ,—The useful, confident, and dignified Patriot of 1775.—An uniform Republican, and our Ambassador for Peace!
The dignity and solemnity of the celebration were much increased, by the attendance of many of our venerable patrons of '75—who had numbered more than SEVENTY FIVE anniversaries, in the calendar of their declining years.
At evening, a salute of Seventeen Guns , again "rattled in the welkin's ear."—Every thing was done decently and in order, "Those who were seeking occasion, to reproach REPUBLICANISM," with the faults of its professors, have been constrained, reluctantly, to acknowledge that when "left to manage their own affairs, in their own way," they do not mingle excess with enjoyment, confusion with hilarity, outrage with triumph, nor insult with exultation!
From the AURORA , March 4.
With this day commences the third year of the administration of Mr. Jefferson; if on a review of the measures adopted under it within the two last years there is cause to rejoice, the prospect before us is no less flattering; indeed the blessings resulting from the change have been so universally and sensibly felt, that the mere recurrence of the day, without any excitement from the public prints, must call forth emotions of gratitude to the founders of the present happy form of government, by which the people are enabled to displace obnoxious officers, and supply their places with men sincerely devoted to the welfare of the whole community; and encourage them to persevere in maintaining by unity their present ascendancy over a party whose strength consists in deceiving the people or in dividing them, not in numbers or respectability.
Each successive day since Mr. Jefferson's election has been accompanied by some evidence of the excellence of the constitution of our government, of the uprightness of our magistrates and of the demerits of the party opposed to both.—From the extremes to the centre of the union we have heard of the increasing confidence of the people in those who a few years ago were denounced as enemies, no state but has given tokens of affection or hopes of the future—of the seventeen , but three or four federal majorities so congress, and even these are far from being ready to go to the length the leaders of the opposing fashion would carry them. The state of parties in the next congress will designate more clearly than columns of animadversion the great preponderance of republican influence; even the senate, though more remote from the control of the people, will be purged of their worst enemies. The state legislatures present a more distinct view of the state of the public mind, almost universally Republican , even Messachusetts sends 71 to 99 federalists. Yet with these evidences before our eyes, we are told the executive government does not possess the confidence of the nation; if the nation meant the violent among the federalists, this would be true, at present it only excites derision to talk in this way. But while we rejoice at the past and took with well grounded hopes to the future it should never be forgotten that vigilance and unity are necessary to their consummation, that without these we become the prey of delperate and vindictive minority, and to make ourselves respected we must loose none of our strength. If every citizen determines to do his duty, there is no fear but he will receive a continuance of the ease and safety in person and property which are now felt under the government of his choice.
Of all the emblematical devices we have ever yet seen adapted for the embellishment of a Newspaper , the heading of the HYMNAL REGISTER , a neat little paper, called " The Weekly Visitor, or Ladies Miscellany ," published in New-York, is the most unfortunate mal aproupos.—It is a Ram's Head , with a huge pair of Horns , supposing a garland of flowers!

MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
ACCOUNTS having appeared in the newspapers, of a deputation from the Missionary Society of London, being sent to France, the following, we understand, is a correct state of the report they have made to the Society. The chief objects they had in view was to print and circulate an edition of the New Testament, and along with it the translation of an essay, on its divine authority, lately published, at their desire by Mr. Bogue of Gosport. They succeeded in both objects. A respectable member of the Legislative Assembly has undertaken the translation of the essay; and he, with some other persons of no less note, appear to be warmly interested in the views of the Society. An Italian Bishop, who suffered three years imprisonment during the revolution, and lost all his property, expresses great zeal in the cause; he has undertaken the translation of Mr. Bogue's essay into the Italian language, and is very desirous to co-operate, in any proper plans, to spread pure and scriptural religion in France and Italy. It required a search of forty days among the book-sellers of Paris, before a copy of the Bible could be found; but when the report got abroad of the Society's intention to publish, one Bookseller ordered 1500 copies, and offered such terms, that they find they can dispose of 5000 copies, not only without expense, but some profit. They have therefore, determined to print the whole Scriptures immediately; and also some plain and approved treatises, relating to religion, in the French and Italian languages. The number of nominal Protestants, in Paris alone, they report to be from 30,000 to 40,000, but in general deplorably ignorant of the nature and effects of the religion they profess. It appears however that not only they, but many of the Catholics, are eager to procure the Scriptures; and that the Protestant worship, both in France and Piedmont, is fully tolerated and quite public. In this latter country, the deputation reports from good authority, that there is perfect facility to spread instruction, and eager desire, both there and at Naples to receive it. In Turin, in particular, they are informed, that there are a considerable number of persons who will give their aid to diffuse it. A respectable friend to France being of opinion that he can find several young men of piety, and of sufficient capacity, to be instructed with a view to their preaching the Gospel in their native country, the Society have determined to adopt six young men, well recommended, and to obtain for them proper instruction, that they may be qualified to exercise the Protestant Ministry in France. A correspondence is opening among the Protestants in every part of that country, which they hope, will revive and extend true religion, so long persecuted or forgotten. The Society have determined to publish an address to the Protestants, for the purpose of calling forth the exertions of those who are sincere among them, in the cause of pure and undefiled religion; and they have appointed the Rev. S. Tracy, a gentleman of approved character and abilities to reside as agent for the Society in Paris, for six months, for the purpose of forwarding the plans the deputation have set on foot, & the Society have approved. They have also instituted an enquiry respecting the price of a church, which they intend to purchase, that public worship may be conducted by him; where it is expected that not Protestants only, but Catholics, will attend. In this they express their persuasion, that the friends of Christianity in Britain will afford them liberal pecuniary aid. The deputation adds, that there are not only evident proofs of a leaning towards the Protestant cause, on the part of the present Government of France probably for political views, but that a favourable predisposition towards it exists among a considerable portion of the people. The deputies are every where received with welcome; and they even say, that they hope that their visit, universally ascribed to disinterested philanthropy, has been the means of exciting considerable impulse in the minds of many in favour of genuine Christianity.
No. II. For the Gazette. Remarks on the above concerning France.
THIS account confirms my opinion of what I have ever believed would be the effect of the overthrow of Monarchy and Hierarchy in France. From the above it is evident that the People were ignorant of the religion of CHRIST in that kingdom, before the political reformation which has taken place within a few years. Under the reign of their kings and clergy, they were completely conquered—the former ruled their bodies, and the latter their souls; subjection to the king and clergy, was the chief they knew; they were not allowed to read the scriptures, which was denied the laity. After the reformation took place, the people rejected the clergy & their religion, who were a set of the most ignorant, selfish, proud, wicked men there were in the kingdom—This produced a persecution of the non-juring clergy; who were imprisoned, tortured, banished and beheaded; these very men and their predecessors had treated others in the same way, under the name of heretics, and in this reformation they suffered the same things from the government, which others had suffered through their influence. As soon as these wretched creatures were turned out from their livings, banished and put to death, their brethren (the clergy in England and the United States,) began to cry alas! alas!—There was a howling of these shepherds (who fed themselves) heard in France, England and America—Abbe Barruel sent his lamentations across the Atlantic to Dr. Morse; he took up the report, and in his Fast Sermons reported it to his brethren the clergy, who founded it through almost every town and parish in the United States, that "religion was like to be banished from the earth"—the consequence of which would be that the clergy must leave their people for want of support. In Barruel's book of lamentations, are these expressions, "It required no depth of penetration to foresee the ruin of the nobility, of the clergy, of the monarchy & of religion." How evident it is that the religion of France was such an one as was peculiar to the "nobility, the king and the clergy;" had one half of the common people in France been put to death by the king, nobility and clergy, there would not have been but
little said about it; but when they found that the common people began to measure to them in the same measure which they had used; they (like the devils in the possessed man,) cried out, and to save themselves from ruin, pretended that religion was in danger, and truly their religion was, for it has received such a death wound that it cannot be healed." This political reformation in France, has cleared away the rubbish, so that the Gospel may now be introduced there in its original purity. The French people have not had the scriptures for several hundred years, if ever they had; BIBLES were so scarce in France, that of late they searched four days in the bookshops of Paris, before they could find one copy; they are now printing a book called the BIBLE, which French people never saw, because the clergy would not allow that bad book to be in the hands of the laity. The prospect now is, that the scriptures will be understood, the gospel preached by those who love the souls of men, the spirit will be poured out, CHRIST's kingdom will extend and flourish there, the arm of the Pope will be broken, and many will turn to the Lord who will have mercy, and to our God, who will abundantly pardon. What a terrible affair was the overthrow of the nobility, monarchy, the clergy and religion in France!!! It has laid a foundation by which millions of ignorant Frenchmen and Italians, are in a fair way of being learnt to read the Bible, and to have a Bible religion proclaimed among them!! Oh! that the inhabitants of America might experience such a kind of reformation as would lead them to read the scriptures of truth which they have in their houses, to exercise the repentance required therein, to enjoy the blessings described in it; and to obey the commands given there, instead of attending to the commandments and doctrines of those men who are mourning the downfall of Babylon, and fitting afide the commandments of God, to keep their own traditions! I believe it will not be many years before the religion of CHRIST, will appear in its native glory, without any daubing of human power to hide its lustre. OLD NORTH.
National Legislature. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1803. ACCORDING to order a call of the House took place at 11 o'clock. The names of the members were twice called, and the absentees noted; when after some conversation, the House adopted a motion made by Mr Davis to excuse all the absent members, on the ground that much time would thereby be saved. A Message was received from the Senate stating that they had passed with amendments, an act for the relief of Insolvent debtors within the district of Columbia. An engrossed bill for the settling sundry claims to public lands of the United States, south of the state of Tennessee, was passed; on which the Yeas and Nays were required, and were Yeas, 58—Nays 13. An engrossed bill concerning the City of Washington was passed—Ayes 43. An engrossed bill to enable the President to make restitution to the owners of the Danish Brig Henrick, was read a third time. Messrs. Dawson, J. C. Smith, Gregg, & S. Smith spoke in favor of, and Messrs. Bayard, Hastings, Griswold, Bacon, Goddard, and Dana, against the bill. Mr. Leib moved a postponement of the bill to the 1st Monday in December. On which motion the Yeas and Nays were taken, and were Yeas 39—Nays 39—The Speaker declared himself against the postponement. The question was then taken by Yeas and Nays on the passage of the bill, and carried in the affirmative—Yeas 41—Nays 38. A Message was received from the President enclosing sundry returns of militia of several states, received since a previous communication on the same subject. A letter was received from the Secretary of the Treasury stating the amount of the uncollected arrearages of the direct tax. The House went into a committee of the whole on the bill to prolong the continuance of the Mint at Philadelphia. The bill provides for the continuance of the Mint for five years, and appropriates 500 dollars beyond the usual appropriation for the establishment. The appropriation was, on motion of Mr. Varnum, struck out without a division—when the committee reported the bill. The House concurred in the report. Mr. Allison observed that if it were not so late in the session, he would move to strike out the first section, by which the mint would be abolished; but as it was too late to take this step, with any probability of success, he should content himself with moving to strike out five and insert one, by which the institution would be continued for one year only. Lost—Ayes 25—Nays 31. The bill was then ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to day. The amendments of the Senate to the bill for the relief of insolvent debtors within the district of Columbia were referred to a select committee. The House went into a committee of the whole, Mr. Varnum in the Chair—on the bill to allow a drawback on sugars refined in the United States. The committee reported with amendments, which were agreed to, and the bill ordered to a third reading to-morrow. Adjourned to 5 o'clock this afternoon.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, A. M. An engrossed bill to allow a drawback of duty on sugar refined within the United States was read a third time and passed—Ayes 26—Nays 29. The bill was supported by Messrs. Mitchell and S. Smith; and opposed by Mr. Mott, Mr. Randolph, from the committee to whom were referred a letter from William Henry Harrison, president of the convention held at Vincennes in the Indiana territory, relative to the suspension of the 6th article of compact between the United States and the people of that territory (which prohibits slavery)—also a memorial and petition of the inhabitants of the territory, made a report, which was referred to a committee of the whole, and ordered to be printed. Mr. Nicholson, from the committee to whom were referred the amendments of the senate to an act for the relief of insolvent
debtors within the district of Columbia, reported their agreement thereto; in which report the house concurred. The house took into consideration the amendments of the Senate to the act to make provision for persons that have been disabled by known wounds received in the late service of the United States, during the revolutionary war. A motion was made to postpone the consideration of the bill to the first Monday of November, which was supported by Mr. John C. Smith, and opposed by Mr. Helms. Lost—Ayes 24—Nays 38. Mr. Griswold moved the reference of the amendments to a select committee. Carried—Ayes 35—Nays 23; and referred to Messrs. Helms, Griswold and Eustis. A message was received from the Senate, stating that the Vice President being absent the Senate had made choice of Stephen R. Bradley, as president pro tem-pore. The message further stated that the Senate had postponed to the 4th inst. the further consideration of the act for the relief of Paul Colon. On the motion of Dr. Mitchell, the house agreed, without a division, to postpone the journal of yesterday for such thereof as related to the call of the house, and the minute of the absent members. The committee, to whom were referred a petition in the French language of sundry inhabitants of St. Vincennes, were discharged from the further consideration thereof, which was referred to the Secretary of State, with instruction to report thereon at the next session. The petition of Shandy Yard, a free black man, was read, praying relief for the losses of property and for personal injuries which he had sustained while in captivity in Tripoli. Ordered to be laid on the table. Report of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund. About one o'clock, Mr. Griswold rose, and after a speech of considerable length moved the following resolution. Resolved, That the committee of ways and means be directed to enquire whether the commissioners of the sinking fund, have agreeably to the directions of the act, intitled "an act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the United States," applied the sum of seven millions three hundred thousand dollars, provided by the act to the payment of the principal and interest of the public debt; and to enquire generally, into the account and proceedings of the commissioners of the sinking fund, and to report to the house. Mr. Randolph seconded the motion and replied to Mr. Griswold. Messrs S. Smith and Nicholson next spoke when Mr. Griswold closed the debate. All the gentlemen, who spoke, advocated the adoption of the resolution; but on different grounds. Mr. Griswold attempted to show that the commissioners of the sinking fund had not appropriated, as directed by law, the sum of seven millions three hundred thousand dollars; and that the report of the commissioners varied considerably from the reports of the secretary of the Treasury previously made. On the other hand, Messrs. Randolph, S. Smith, and Nicholson repelled the charge made by Mr. Griswold, and insisted that the commissioners of the sinking fund had rigidly complied with law, and that there was no hostility between their report, and the reports of the secretary of the treasury. The question was taken on the resolution about 4 o'clock, and carried unanimously in the affirmative. Mr. Randolph moved, and the house agreed, that the committee of ways and means have leave to sit during the sittings of the house. Mr. Holland, a member of the committee being absent, Mr. Dickson was appointed to his place. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2—6 P. M. A message was received from the Senate, stating that they had postponed until the 4th inst. (which is equivalent to a rejection) an act to reduce the marine corps of the United States. The house took up the amendments of the senate to the act to revive and continue in force an act in addition to an act intitled an act in addition to an act regulating the grants of land appropriated for military services, and for the society of the United Brethren for propagating the gospel among the heathen. Mr. Dawson observed that one of the amendments proposed by the senate, allowed general La Fayette 11,500 acres of land, instead of 15,000, which was the quantity an officer of his rank was entitled to. The amendments were referred to a select committee consisting of Messrs. Southard, Goddard and Dawson. On motion of Mr. Nicholson the house according to the order of the day, resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the report of the select committee on the message of the President of the United States, with the accompanying documents, relative to the official conduct of John Pickering, judge of the district court of the United States for the district New-Hampshire. Mr. S. Smith in the chair. The report of the committee recommends the adoption of the following resolution: Resolved, That John Pickering, judge of the district court of the district of New-Hampshire, be impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors. Mr. Huger objected to acting in this case at so late a period of the session. Mr. Goddard moved the rising of the committee, in order to postpone the resolution to the next session. Messrs. Mitchell, Dana and Mott supported; and Messrs. Nicholson, Bacon, Hastings, Elmer, Randolph and Eustis opposed the motion. Motion lost—Ayes 9—Nays 43. The committee rose and reported their agreement to the resolution. The house immediately took up the report, and concurred with the committee in the above resolution—Yeas 45—Nays 3. Ordered that Mr. Nicholson, and Mr. Randolph, be a committee to go to the senate, and at the bar thereof in the name of the house of representatives, & of all the people of the U. States, to impeach John Pickering, Judge of the district court of the district of New-Hampshire, of high crimes and misdemeanors; and acquaint the senate, that the
house of representatives will, in due time, exhibit particular articles of impeachment against him. Ordered, that the committee demand, the senate take order for the appearance of the said John Pickering, to answer to the said impeachment. FRIDAY, MARCH 4. We have been so constantly occupied, in attending the deliberations of the House, and in other unavoidable business, that we are unable to state in detail, the proceedings of the two last days. Never, perhaps, has the American Congress transacted more business in so short a time. On Wednesday the House sat till half past 4, & then adjourned to 6 in the evening, and continued sitting till past 10—Yesterday there were two sittings, the last of which closed the constitutional period of the body. Among the most important business transacted, were: The passage of the bill from the Senate, authorizing a detachment of 30,000 militia; for which purpose one million and a half of dollars are appropriated—Twenty five thousand dollars are appropriated for building arsenals on the Western Waters. The impeachment of John Pickering, District Judge of New-Hampshire, for high crimes and misdemeanors, which was agreed to by a great majority. The passage of the militia bill respecting the district of Columbia. The passage of the bill for continuing the Mint for five years. On motion of Mr. Varnum, the following resolution was agreed to, by unanimous vote, the Yeas and Nays being called to record the unanimity of the House. Resolved that the thanks of this House be presented to NATHANIEL MACON, in testimony of their approbation of his conduct, in discharging the arduous and important duties assigned him, while in the chair. The House met last evening at 6 o'clock; when, after transacting various business, a quarter before twelve o'clock an adjournment took fine die. The next meeting of Congress will be on the 1st Monday in November. From the Boston Chronicle. LOUISIANA. It would be just as absurd to put the human body on a rack to cure the finger ache, as at this time to go to war with the Spaniards to obtain and secure a convenient place of deposit on the banks of the Mississippi; and yet an immediate appeal to arms is strongly recommended in some of our newspapers. When we made our treaty with Spain, in 1795, our right to the navigation of that river was never made a question. But the privilege of having a landing place for our goods was a different affair. That was granted by the Spaniards as a matter of "special grace and favor," for which we have not yet given a valuable consideration. It was further agreed by the Spanish government to point out another place, if they did not choose to continue this favor at New Orleans. No such place was assigned by the late information, nor does it appear that it has been refused. If we could be at war in the Mississippi, and at peace every where else, there might be something said in excuse for this mad policy. In commencing hostilities at New Orleans, we should expose our whole commerce abroad to instant depredation; and the mercantile interest of this country, would suffer in every nerve. Some people talk of hostilities, as if it was a party of pleasure. Spain at this moment, is connected by treaty with France, Holland, Portugal, and Italy.—To strike at her possessions, is to strike at all her friends. Two or three years hence, after negotiation has failed, and when a hostile spirit is demonstrated in the Spaniards, we may then consider the expediency, and count the cost of a war. But to fight first, and negotiate afterwards is just of a piece with all the rest of those wild projects which have already ruined one administration, and would disgrace a hundred others in the same manner if they were equally as violent. Happily, times are changed; wisdom has taken the place of temerity, and there is but little doubt that an agreeable settlement of differences will be the consequence of a manly and skillful negotiation. There are some people who would set the world in a blaze at both ends, to light them back to the places they have lost by their folly; and as they have but little hope, except in war and confusion, in their minds the sooner they come to this dreadful extremity the better. There is in fact no way to secure a convenient place of deposit on the banks of this natural and necessary outlet, but to beg, buy, or capture it. If we are too proud to beg, we may be rich enough to buy; although it admits of some doubts whether we are strong enough to take and keep it by force. At any rate we must wait while before a step is taken, which involves the present, and even remote generations in an irretrievable calamity. PHILADELPHIA, MARCH 9. We received letters from Washington by yesterday's mail, which are wholly silent on the encampment in Kentucky. Mr. Cocke, senator from Tennessee, received letters from various parts of that state on the 3d of March, which expressed the utmost confidence in the general government, and stating the general disposition of the people of that state to be in unison with the executive, a determination to suffer a partial evil rather than create universal distress, and until the result of the measures taken should be known. Congress did not adjourn on Thursday last until within a few minutes of twelve P. M. A resolution for enquiry relative to the sale of bank stock was offered by Mr. Bayard, and which produced discussion, notwithstanding the quantity of business of an urgent nature, which was before the House. It was however negatived, and a resolution passed which declared the sale both legal and expedient. The Feds are for "a word and a blow," respecting the New Orleans business—but they with the blow to come first—The Democrats are for a word first, and if that will not suffice, for the blow to follow.—Which is the most rational?
Portsmouth.
TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1803.
The ship American-Hero, Capt. Messers, in 38 days from Gibraltar, arrived at New-York on Friday last. Capt. M. informs, that on the 28th January, three days previous to his sailing, information was received there from Cadiz, that all American vessels had been ordered by the Spanish Government to depart immediately from Cadiz, and that no more would be permitted to enter. The cause of this interdiction was not publicly known. Twelve sail, which had quitted port in consequence of this order, were driven ashore; one of them the ship Wm. and Henry, belonging to Mr. Wm. Gray, of Salem.
It was currently reported that the Tripoline Corsairs were out on a cruise against American vessels, but no account of their success had reached Gibraltar.
The Dutch have taken possession of the Cape of Good Hope.
Our Envoy to the courts of France and Spain, Gov. MONROE, failed from New-York on the 8th inst. direct for Havre-de-Grace, with a fresh and fair wind. His lady and children accompany him. The brigade company of artillery were on the battery, and fired a national salute, which was answered by the fort on Governor's Island. There is not the least doubt entertained of the success of his mission.
THE Senate of the United States have, with becoming firmness, resisted the war measures attempted to be forced upon the country. The resolutions of Mr. Ross have been virtually rejected by the substitution of those offered by Mr. Breckenridge. Thus have measures calculated to inflame the passions of the nation, to sow discord among them and to destroy that harmony between the executive and legislative departments of the government, so preeminently necessary at this crisis, been nipped in the bud. The discussion of these war measures has been wisely permitted to be public, that the American people, in whose hands the destinies of the Empire are, may distinctly perceive who are their friends, and who their enemies. Fortunately they are well informed no less as to men than as to measures. Party violence has already developed itself; and they have seen that in its rage patriotism perishes. The men, who left session, menaced us with convulsion and the prostration of our constitutional compact now urge us to war. They failed in the first, and they will not succeed in the last. In appreciating the motives of the war party, let the people recollect that James Ross, who introduced the propositions, has ceased to represent the state of Pennsylvania; that Jonathan Mason, who advocated them, is no longer the representative of Massachusetts; that Governor Morris is about to retire to private life, after having lost the confidence of his constituents. Whom then do these gentlemen represent? Not the people of America. And yet, after a removal from power and an unequivocal forfeiture of the public confidence, they would, if they could, hurry us into war. Their conduct is an impressive attestation of the superiority of the representative system; it shows conclusively that a responsibility to the people is the strongest bulwark of their rights. The speech of Governor Morris was extravagant beyond measure, and was from the beginning to the end a libel upon republican governments. The sentiments he avowed were such as every genuine American will reject—"Sir, said he (addressing himself to the chair) the moment you have a civil war, it requires no prophecy to say your liberties are gone." Where is the enlightened citizen, who believes in the superiority of the republican to the monarchical system, that will not reject a sentiment so derogatory to truth and to the energies of a government founded on equal rights? Never did a people exist less likely to be embroiled in civil war. But should the period of civil war arrive, we venture to pronounce that neither the sword of usurpation nor the intrigues of party will make an effectual stand against the will of the nation, expressed by the voice, and carried into effect by the arms of millions. In other countries the physical force may be on the side of tyrants; here it is wielded by freemen. Uproar may rage for a day. But the good sense of the nation will put it promptly down. Here is our strength. We are happy in the enjoyment of equal rights, and the madman who unfurls the banner of rebellion cannot find within the limits of the union malcontents enough to keep the field for a day. Nat. Intel.
The civil obligations under which our country is bound to Mr. Jefferson, entitles him to our highest honors. To vindicate his character should be our delight. To secure success to the principles of his administration should be our patriotism. Light is bursting from the clouds which have been cast around him. Interest with her numerous votaries can repose on his favor.—Liberty acknowledges him—her son, and Hope with all her children approaches to bless him. Let his name be precious on our lips, and gratitude rule in our hearts. Let confidence inspire our joys, and while industry, and all the virtues provide all we love, let us approach heaven with reverence, to acknowledge that he gave us a Jefferson, the guardian of our freedom, and the favor of his country.
The President of the United States has left the city of Washington for his Seat in Virginia, where he will tarry five or six weeks.
The laudable animation with which the 4th of March has been celebrated, by the Republicans throughout the Union, in honor of the inauguration of Mr. Jefferson to the chair of the nation, demonstrates the unabating confidence in his wise and economical administration, and prefaces future unanimity.
The most sanguine Republican in the United States cannot possibly with to have federalism (as it is falsely called) lose ground more rapidly than it does at present. We always wished its gradual decline, rather than its sudden death.

The false statement in the Oracle of last Saturday of the amount of bonds given for duties in this district on which the sufferers by the late fire in Portsmouth were entitled to farther credit—wherein they state the amount of such bonds to be 7,900 Dollars—being evidently intended to diminish the benevolent intention and result of the act of Congress for the relief of said sufferers,—it becomes proper to assert, and which we do from indubitable authority, that the bonds given in this district by those who have actually suffered the loss of a dwelling house or store which they owned or occupied, or property by the fire, and which are considered as entitled to a farther credit by the said act, amount to Dollars 29,105 41, and that the bonds of others who claim the benefit of said act, for having sustained losses in consequence of said fire amount to Dollars 10,331 39, being in the whole Dollars 39,436 80—benefiting the sufferers, BT THE USE OF THE MONEY , about 2000 Dollars—which any, but an ungrateful wretch, would feel thankful for. O ingratitudine! ingratitude!
The Editors of the ***** Oracle, in their late communications to their arch prototype the Editor of the Centinel, on the subject of the New-Hampshire election, very ingeniously acknowledge, that what success the Feds have met with, is entirely owing to their uncommon exertions. This time the ***** Oracle has spoken truth—for tho' (with all their uncommon exertions,) the Feds have little to boast of, as in the county of Hillsborough were the greatest proportion of Towns have voted, Mr. L. is more than 500 votes ahead of G.—yet had it not been for those uncommon exertions, by which the People have been deluded, deceived and belied, had the People been left to the exercise of their own inclinations, Mr. L. would have been undoubtedly chosen by a great majority. But tho' while the Feds were in every quarter making the most vigorous efforts by promises of governmental favors and by threats, the Republicans inactively relied on the goodness of their cause, yet such is the result, after all their struggles, that, to boast of such success as they have hitherto had, is to acknowledge their cause to be despicable and base indeed.
JAMES ELLIOTT, Esq. of Brattleborough, Vermont, (an undeviating Republican) is elected Member of Congress for the District, lately represented by Gen. Morris, by a majority of four or five hundred votes.—This is one of the most astonishing revolutions in political sentiment, which has ever been known in our country.
The steady and consistent efforts of the Republicans in the State of Vermont, notwithstanding the plausible and mild speeches, of their Federal GOVERNOR, has completely secured for the next Congress 2 Republican Senators and 3 (out of 4) Republican Members to the House of Representatives. This is a proud triumph not only to themselves, but to the consistent Republicans of Massachusetts and New-Hampshire, a faithful lesson for them to practice on—Perseverance in a good cause will sooner or later be crowned with success.
WIDEN THE STREETS BY ALL MEANS!
Messrs. Printers, IT would be the height of presumption and even cruelty in the inhabitants of Portsmouth, to rebuild without widening the streets. If the streets had been 20 feet wider previous to the late dreadful fire, there might have been near 300,000 dollars worth more of property (in Buildings and Goods) saved. But from inattention, we are now brought to see the misery of many; and we understand that all that has been collected, would not pay one dollar to tax, were the contributions or donations to be equally distributed. But our Committee has wisely ordered the distribution of the money, and divided the distressed sufferers into classes.
We understand there is nearly enough subscribed to defray the expense of widening said streets; and the small sum that will be paid by the town at large, will be merely trifling; and we hope there will not be found one obstinate creature in human shape, that will make any objection thereto.
Messrs. Printers, If you think the following hint worthy a place in your paper, please to insert it. Fix it.
YOUNG GENTLEMEN of Portsmouth; I was much surprised in observing the effect of politeness so much dispensed with in this town—in noticing the Ladies often under the necessity of stepping off the pavement into the mire, when walking with a Gentleman next the wall, (so called) and no doubt have often had their shoes filled with water—(This hint is not to offend) but to suggest, that it's an invariable practice in all populous cities and towns to give the Females the wall, as being more secure from accident and insult. AN OLD MAN.
A federalist happened to be in company the other evening with a well known republican. Among other matters the subject of the recent Republican festival at Charlestown was introduced. The modest federalist with a sarcastic sneer enquired, how many "Snouts" were present! the Republican replied, that he did not understand his vulgarity, but he saw a number of such snipes as he appeared to be, looking on, and a few of the would be "NOBILITY" in their "HOLES" "grinning horribly a ghastly smile," at seeing so numerous and respectable a procession on such an occasion.

The flames had progressed so far before discovered that the elder part of the family had scarcely escaped, when the distressed father recollected his children, who slept in a bed room, two of which he had the good fortune to preserve; but returning to save two others who remained, he, as well as they, fell victims to the devouring element; The late worthy man, has left a widow and six children to lament the loss of an affectionate husband and a kind parent.

PATRIOTIC ODE.
Written by WILLIAM C. WHITE, Esq. And Sung at the Republican Celebration, in WORCESTER, March 4th. 1803.
Tune—Jefferson and Liberty.
WAKE, wake, exulting Muse, thy fire, Haste, haste, and seize a proud employ! O, hang, enraptured, o'er the lyre; And sweep the thrilling chords of joy!
CHORUS
Let every Freeman join the lay, And lift his eager-plauding hand! Shout Huzzas! to the happy day, Which brighten'd Freedom's fav'rite land!
Yet louder, louder, strike the string! And Fashion's envious ear annoy; 'Tis Monticello's sage you sing! Sweep, sweep, the thrilling chords of joy!
Let ev'ry Freeman join the lay,—Gc.
Yet swifter, swifter, drive the long! The lightning's magic speed employ! Electric his patriotic throng! And sweep the thrilling chords of joy!
Let ev'ry Freeman join the lay,—Gc.
Fling, fling, it to the echoing sky, And share, with Seraphs, your employ! Then sing—His name shall never die! And sweep the thrilling chords of joy!
Let ev'ry Freeman join the lay,—Gc.
Indignant Virtue proudly stands! Foes aim their darts, but can't annoy! She lends him her protecting hands! Then sweep the thrilling chords of joy!
Let ev'ry Freeman join the lay,—Gc.
Celestial LIBERTY appears, With bashful blush and haughty coy; He fires her hopes, he drows her fears! Then sweep the thrilling chords of joy!
Let ev'ry Freeman join the lay,—Gc.
Truth pours her beams, and bids her son, Her world enlight'ning torch employ; The radiant task is now begun! Then sweep the thrilling chords of joy!
Let ev'ry Freeman join the lay,—Gc.
FAME plants his temples with a bay, Time's wasteful hand shall ne'er destroy! Then cries—'Tis Freedom's holiday! Sweep, sweep, the thrilling chords of joy!
Let ev'ry Freeman join the lay,—Gc.
And lift his eager-plauding hand! Shout Huzzas! to the happy day, Which brighten'd FREEDOM's fav'rite land!
The II. book of Anti-Christ.
CHAPTER VII.
1. AND it came to pass in those days that there arose a great persecution against the disciples of CHRIST, because they refused to conform to the laws of Anti-christ, which were published by the king & clergy.
2. And the clergy laid unto them, we are protestants, for we protest against the power of the Bishop of Rome, and we are friends of CHRIST, and are bound to punish heretics with death, according to the law of Moses.
3. Then said the disciples of CHRIST, though you protest against the Bishop of Rome, yet you profess the same spirit he does, and ye are also friends of Anti-christ, even as they also are.
4. Now it came to pass that when they had heard this, they began to call them by odious names, such as anabaptists, jefmatics and heretics, who corrupted the holy Catholic Church.
5. Now when this came to the ears of Anti-christ, he sent to the king and clergy in England, to apprehend, & punish with burning all who would not abjure their errors.
6. And that all the books written by the disciples of CHRIST, should be burned, and particularly those which spoke against the clergy, and the baptizing of infants.
7. Now when these orders came from Anti-christ, the king and clergy apprehended the disciples of CHRIST, and ordered them to confess that they were heretics, which some did through fear.
8. And when they had done this, they were ordered to wear a bunch of faggots tied to their backs when they went to St. Paul's church, (now this was done to shew they deserved death, though their lives were spared through the mercy of the clergy.)
9. But those who would not submit to the laws of Anti-christ, were publicly burnt at Smithfield, as heretics who ought to die.
10. And though some were burnt alive, and others banished, yet they increased the more, and their doctrine prevailed in all the regions round about;
11. So that the clergy feared lest Anti-christ would lose his dominion in England, and they be deprived of their places of honor, power and maintenance, which they had from the king's palace.
12. Now these are some of the heretics charged against the disciples of CHRIST, which was the cause of their being burnt alive by order of the antichristian clergy.
13. The disciples of CHRIST taught that the baptism of infants was an invention of Anti-christ, and one of the main pillars in his kingdom, and that a Priest's sprinkling water on them was blasphemy.
14. They also maintained, that the king and clergy had no right to make laws concerning religion, and that they had a right to choose and support their own ministers.
15. And that those whom CHRIST commissioned to preach, ought not to be hindered by the king and clergy, but that they have a right to go over parish lines, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16. They likewise taught, that to impose on people certain forms of prayer, was contrary to the laws of CHRIST, and that the manner of worshipping in the church of England was a proof of their subjection to Anti-christ.
17. Moreover they declared it blasphemy for any man to arrogate to himself the titles of Doctor of Divinity, which is to be called Rabbi, or master of other men's faith.
18. Now it came to pass when these things were noted abroad, the king and clergy, (being stirred up by Anti-christ) ordered the disciples to be banished, whipped, burnt, imprisoned and treated with every kind of cruelty.
19. And many of them fled into Germany, and others for some time concealed themselves, while many boldy propagated the doctrine of CHRIST, notwithstanding all the cruelties of the wicked clergy, who stirred up the people against them.
20. And it came to pass in the sixteen hundred and fourteenth year of Anti-christ, when James was king of England, that one of the disciples of CHRIST was brought before the king and clergy, for heresy.
21. And he was there convicted of three things which were termed heresy, for which he was condemned to die, (now the man's name was William, whose surname was Sawtrey.)
22. Now these are the heresies he held, that the baptizing of infants was an abominable practice, that the Lord's supper and baptism, ought not to be administered as they are in the church of England.
23. And that the doctrine of CHRIST is not preached in England by the clergy, as CHRIST commanded his disciples to preach it.
24. For these things he was burnt alive, to the great joy of the clergy, who were leagued together against all who opposed their wickedness.
25. Now when this was done the people in England said one to another, if we are protestants as we profess to be, why protest we against the church of Rome, and do the same things which they do?
26. And this caused much discontent in the kingdom, that the king and clergy determined not to burn the heretics, but to seize their estates and confine them in filthy prisons, to die there; least they should be considered persecutors, who honored the disciples of CHRIST with martyrdom. (To be continued.)
